Who's a player that "damaged" your team, but you don't hate? He can be a past opponent or someone who did bad things while playing for your team. (alien.top)

As of me, i don't particularly hold a grudge against Ray Allen, whose three pointer still haunts some Spurs fans. Actually, he has always been one of my favourite players.

Nor i loathe Kawhi Leonard. Yes, his leaving has been harsh, but i can't really hate him, he still did a lof for us and in the end we got a ring and some more competitive years. Not to talk about the fact that he did nothing with the Clippers, so it's not that he damaged us further.

I would like to know if some of you like or, better, don't hate, those players that are considered national enemies within your fanbase.

That's easy. Michael Jordan. 90s Knicks fan here. Always wanted to beat him but always respected him, did not resent him. To be fair, I only became a Knick fan in 94 so those Knicks-Bulls playoff battles of 1989, 91, 92 and 93 I all learned from secondhand highlights after the fact. But I was a fan for his comeback from 95-98 and did see them beat us in the 96 playoffs as well as lose to them in some other tough reg season contests, all of which meant a ton to me.
