Carmelo Anthony still has a strong hate group in Denver.
I’d argue Melo is a much more uniquely hateable player than VC.
Uh how so?
Eric "I don't want to be here" Bledsoe
VC raptor fans/trauma victims are like 30+ y/o now
Michael Owen and every club he ever played for, but especially Liverpool
Liverpool? Especially Newcastle mate.
He had 0 interest, took the bag and trash talked the city. Disgusting behaviour from a true vanilla midget.
Answers not limited to NBA players.
Cody Parkey and Chicago Bears fans. Choosing an NFL kicker is probably cheating though because it's a lot tougher for a kicker to be beloved than to be hated.
Booing the guy who helped win a championship and won a FMVP for your franchise is crazy no matter how he asked out lol
I will now hold a lifelong grudge towards the Nuggets just to show you how petty I can be.
A lot of Raptor fans have “buried the hatchet” when it comes to Vince. But definitely still a group that haven’t.
Still on the fence tbh
Neither forgive nor forget
I'm sure it's mostly generational.... no one under 25 now (maybe even 30) was old enough to really be upset when he left
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.
uhh… Aaron Hernandez
Suns fans are not too fond of Suns legend Robert Horry I reckon
Never played there
Mike Dunleavy
Feel terrible for VC
Dude wasted some prime years rotting in Canada.
Jordan Poole with Golden State Warriors fans has randomly shot up to be a contender
I think once the truth about Vince's situation came out, fans have forgave him or at least I have.
Now Chris Bosh, nah I will never forgive him. Bro says he's ride or die T. then peace out to Miami asap yeah fuck him.
Us Raptor fans made amends with Vince back when he was on the Grizzlies. There’s a great video on YouTube from the grizzlies/raptors game when they played a tribute video to him and fans began booing it but then it evolved into cheers and a standing ovation. To the point Carter got emotional that the fans finally accepted him again. It’s actually a truly beautiful moment.
Luis Figo. He moved from Barcelona to their arch rival Real Madrid.
Kyrie Celtics.
I am also a Spurs fan, I did not like how Kawhi handled the whole situation and although I will never forgive him I had moved on... Until Pop's rant last week.. Now I feel like I have to boo him extra just because of how much of a virtue signaling act Pop's whole shenanigan was.
Gordon Hayward and the Utah Jazz
Many became more neutral towards Hayward after his career in Boston fell apart.
Fuck no we didn’t
Deandre Ayton isn't exactly popular with Suns fans at the moment
AD and the pelicans, I believe there was a hurricane last year that hit New Orleans and there was a store that was completely empty apart from some chips with AD’s face on them, next level petty
Me and my group friends grew up on Vince Carter’s Raptors days. We all still love him to this day.
Alonzo Mourning should be hated more by Toronto
We were complaining because VC wanted to shoot more 3's and bot attack the rim anymore. Little did we know he was ahead of his time 😆
Porzingis and Knicks fans up there considering he asked out and backed away from being the franchise player
Eric Gordon is widely hated in New Orleans
It's not really the same because he was only there one season, but Dallas pretty unanimously hates Rondo
Paul George and the Pacers, although we are starting to get better. Victor Oladipo is another.
Carlos Boozer is despised by Cavs fans.
Kawhi never played for the Spurs.
Not many people will understand this. You think Ray Allen leaving Celtics for Miami is a big deal. Euro Ultras could literally kill you for betrayal of moving to a rival.
Buddy Hield in Sacramento.
I don't think he's popular or good enough to garner much hate tbh.
Kevin Durant OKC
Yeah, I don't think any of these come close to that one (some of these I had never even heard of).
