Who is the player on your team that, in your opinion, gets irrational hate from your fan base? (alien.top)

I am talking about a player that is not as bad as people make him out to be, or perhaps that is held to an unreasonable standard. Like, yo, that is our third string center, OF COURSE he's not going to be as good at (fill in the blank starter). A lot of times this is a star too of course. Or maybe it is a guy that is in fact good, but since he's getting paid X amount, then he gets hate because he's not prime MJ.

And as a bonus, who is the player that you think gets irrational support from this same fanbase?

Luke Kornet. Literally what you said there, he's a third-stringer being treated like he's a backup. He comes in for ten minutes a game, plays solid positional defense, and gets like four points off of lobs or putbacks. It's not flashy, but it gets the job done well enough. Would I complain about an upgrade? Nah, but it's not a big deal, either.
