Who is a player you just don't get the hate for? (alien.top)

As a companion to the "who is a player you don't get the hype for" thread, here is something more positive. Who is a player you feel is either disrespected, misunderstood, underrated, or straight-up maligned to an unfair degree?

My pick is THJ. Every single time I watch this dude play (usually against the Lakers) he looks like Prime TMac. He just gets to his spots, elevates, and knocks everything down with such a pure stroke. He seems unstoppable at times. And yet, I know Mavs fans constantly are disappointed with his inconsistent play, so maybe I am missing something with my few-and-far-in-between impressions.

Who else you got?

LeBron. Never understood the hate he got for The decision. It was an espn driven charity thing and he served the full term of his contract and simply went to a better basketball and lifestyle situation for his family all while taking less money than he could have gotten in Cleveland.

Not to mention he always makes the right play, respects and loves the game, is all time great, great family man, and very humble and grateful of a gift he knows was given to him. He should get no hate.
