Any player more hated by his original/old fanbase than Vince Carter with Raptors fans, Kawhi Leonard with Spurs fans? (alien.top)

Not sure about Raptors fans nowadays, before Vince Carter retired, he mentioned wanting to retire as a Raptor or hope they'd retire his jersey. I remember at that time seeing a decent amount of Raptors fans not fucking with those ideas, so you know how much disdain they held even after many years. Spurs fans still constantly boo Kawhi extra hard to the point Pop did what he did last week. We had OKC fans hating KD, but it seem like the hate had slowly died down these past few years? Cavalier fans forgave Lebron after he returned and won one for them. These are the most obvious ones that came to mind.

Answers not limited to NBA players. Feel free to share if there are players of other sports that for whatever reason, had fans turn their backs on them.

Most Magic fans are only recently starting to open up to Dwight Howard. He is noticeably absent from all of the team produced nostalgia posts about old players coming back to show off retro uniforms or talk about the good old days.

His departure left a really bad taste in our mouths and sent the franchise into a 10+ year tailspin that we are only just recovering from.
