Grantland: Most Hated Basketball Players of Past 30 Years

[VeloClone]

Has no one mentioned Raef LaFrenz? or Jacque Vaughn?

I could easily get to 16 Kansas players.

Also haven't seen a Chris Mihm mention.

This, this, one thousand times this.

Agreed on the amount of Kansas players we could list.

No mention of Mihm because we all have great memories of Fizer's facial over him.

Byron Houston, Byron Houston's elbows.

I completely forgot about him. Wasn't it something like 3 straight years that he purposely elbowed an ISU player in a game in Stillwater? Doerrfeld was one of the victims for sure - not sure about the other(s). He probably tops the list even though I generally like OSU. Good catch CRcy!

Some K-State applicants:

Jeremiah Massey
Cartier Martin

Texas Tech:

Andre Emmett

He got Michalik real good one year. Bloody mess. That dude was big & bad.

From previous NCAA tourneys:
Shareef Abdur-Rahim. We disposed of California in the '96 or '97 tourney in comfortable fashion, but I only really remember one thing from that game: George Raveling's awful announcing job & how he was compelled to keep repeating the name "Shareef Abdur-Rahim" about every 20 seconds. ISU was playing well, but all he wanted to do was talk up Abdur-Rahim. UGH!
Cameron Dollar. The second worst no-call charge ever in the history of ISU sports (just slightly behind Johnson's this year).

Didn't Vaughn choke on a few free throws late in the game when ISU beat Kansas to win the final Big 8 Tournament championship? Pretty sure he missed a floater at the buzzer too.

Patrick Ewing
Luke Recker

Andy Osborn - Colorado circa 2004-2005ish (iirc)

Wasn't Drew Gooden kind of a dbag? All those KU dbags run together.

Big time. I'm surprised he wasn't mentioned earlier.

Some excellent candidates! I will add Oklahoma's Tim Heskett and the Haley twins from Mizzou. Eff those guys.

 

[brentblum]

I agree with their pick of J.J. Redick. I just get angry as **** whenever I hear his name. What a little ***** he was.

Surprisingly enough, actually a really good dude. I know, I know, impossible to believe!

just prepare yourself for the jj redick comparisons when matt thomas goes for 25+ in about eight months....

I forgot about the Haley twins. I also forgot about Tyronn Lue from Nebraska.

 

[madguy30]

Chris Kingsbury. I usually don't go after Iowa players, but he was just smothered in punk.

Big Country I suppose in Big 8, although his dominance was impressive, and it was at a time that college basketball was generally a lot better.

 

[madguy30]

Also Paul Pierce. Just...something was wasn't right there.

When you get stabbed like 20 times and you don't die... there is something strange going on there.

 

[cyatheart]

Those that said Derek Cheivous....this is the correct answer. There is no one worse than Derek Chevious.

Who was the Kstate guy that bit Railey?
