    Mike Tyson -- Sure he bit off Evander Holyfield's ear and might've even raped Desiree Washington, but I just feel sorry for the guy.
    Dennis Rodman -- Nobody played the game harder and more selflessly. Look no further than his days in Detroit for the true Dennis Rodman
    Kobe Bryant -- The greatest player of his generation (post-Jordan) and lets his game speak for itself unlike some other douchebags
    Peyton Manning -- How could anyone hate this guy? Top five all-time QB, humble and the consummate professional
    Kevin Durant -- Same reasons as Peyton and Kobe

    Peyton Manning has to be up there. Idk how anyone can hate the guy. He's funny... he's a class act... etc. etc. etc.

    Kobe is a fucking ass hat.

    Surprised no one has mentioned Troy Polamalu

    Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Craig Biggio, Phil Mickelson, Peyton Manning



    Sean Casey was mentioned above but quite honestly George Grande and Chris Welsh turned me off of him...ridiculous spewing. I am not a big fan of Phillips other than he plays for and helps the Reds.

    Why you hate him? Because he didn't rape a girl?

    You want to know what a real "ass hat" looks like, check out a Miami Heat game.

    Lol. Why would Kobe Bryant commit rape? Dude could fuck half the women of Colorado by just appearing in their presence.

    Agreed that Ray Lewis is a murderer.

    Definitely a dick move (no pun intended), but Tiger Woods cheated on his wife with bartenders, playboy bunnies, models, strippers, girls he met at clubs, etc. and people seem to still love him.

    I can forgive Kobe for that one-time indiscretion a lot more easily than a pompous douchebag like LeBron James who fucked over an entire city on national TV (I'm not a Cavs fan) and constantly refers to himself as one of the three greatest players in NBA history along with Michael Jordan and Oscar Robertson. I know you didn't bring up LeBron, but in comparison to that guy, Kobe is actually pretty likable for how great he is.

    I hate Kobe.

    Besides people I've already seen mentioned, I'd like to add Dwayne Wade. I hate the heat, but D-wade always seemed like a cool dude.

    Lol if it wasn't for Lebron I would easily hate wade the most on that team. He is a grade A douche.

    There are a ton of things not to like about Kobe.

    Well, that is why he is an athlete that I (that is a capital I) can't hate. Kobe is far more likable IMO than that other guy who is frequently labeled the best since Jordan (including by that other guy himself).

    You mean Kobe the guy who threw his entire team and organization under the bus while throwing a temper tantrum because he wasn't good enough to get them past the first round of the playoffs without help?

    I mean Kobe the guy who led the Lakers to back-to-back World Championships with fellow Hall-of-Famers Andrew Bynum, Paul Gasol, Derek Fisher and Ron Artest.

    LOL at you acting like that's not an incredible supporting cast. Dude is a douche and everyone knows it, easy not to like. BTW didn't he go like 6-24 in Game 7 but was bailed out by Ron Artest and Pau Gasol?
