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.

Nuggets opponent: Tim Duncan. Eliminated us a bunch of times in the playoffs. But I just respect his game so much.

Nuggets player: Will Barton. Lots of fans think he was an inefficient chucker who never played within the team concept, locker room cancer, etc. but I think for the most part he was effective when healthy and his teammates consistently spoke highly of him even after the fact, and it's just his last season where he was playing on a bad wheel for a team with multiple key injuries (Murray + MPJ were out) that he was a negative.

Kawhi ripped my heart out (sixers fan) when he nailed that quadruple doink game winner, but I can't even hate him for it... Just have to respect the greatness

Marcus Smart. Heart and soul of our team while he was here, but he ran his course and took some head scratching shots late in games.

It's crazy living in the Boston area how many people still say fuck Ray Allen.

Harden capped our ceiling but was a good mentor and we were able to flip him for assets. Plus he’s 1000x the player Ben is

I hold no real resentment towards Harden, despite him quitting in 2 straight postseasons

Embiid doesn't get HIS MVP without Harden

[–] DrBigChicken@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly, the media used a half season with Harden as the reason why he didn’t win the one before, so he might’ve delayed it by a year

KD ks always a player that you cannot do anything but respect.
