Athletes you CAN'T hate

  • Laley23
    LeBron, despite what he did to Cleveland, is way more likeable than Kobe, imo.

    I dont hate someone just because they cheat on their wife...but I definitely will hate them over someone who is arrogant like LeBron.

    But you list Tiger Woods as somebody who you can't hate? Huh? He's not only arrogant but also a serial philanderer lol. Maybe the all-time philandering champion. Right there with Wilt Chamberlain in terms of sexual conquests.

    Mixing up what I am saying with others I assume?

    I never said I hated LeBron...

    Nor, do I really hate Kobe (or Tiger, obviously). But, LeBron is the most likeable out of them all, easily. Then Kobe, then Tiger.

    That's fair. I'd go Kobe, Tiger then LeBron, but I obviously have deep-seeded hatred for the guy.

    The origin of my hate, not that anyone cares, dates back to how he conducted himself at the state tournament while at Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary's -- obnoxiously guaranteeing a victory on the local news the night before playing St. Bernard Roger Bacon as a junior by saying something like he was a warrior and would not allow his team to be beaten; not shaking the hand of the Roger Bacon coach during starting lineups; and then refusing to accept the runner-up medal along with Dru Joyce after he got beat. Then all the shit that went down with the Cavs, etc. He's been a douche as long as he has lived.

    You mean, he acted like an immature teenager in high school? How dare he!

    Fake shaking a head coach's hand during starting lineups by extending out his arm and then pulling back and pretending to put his hand through his hair, and then refusing to accept a medal during the trophy presentation, goes beyond acting like an immature teenager, especially for somebody who was as high-profile as he was. It was just ridiculous. He acted like a punk and that's why the Schottenstein Center was on its feet in celebration when LeBron got beat that day.

    Who have you ever seen do that (fake shake a coach's hand in an attempt to embarrass him and his team)? I've been to probably a thousand high school basketball games (I really have no idea, but a lot) and I've never seen anyone act that stupid.

    Point being, whether it's as big a deal as I am making it out to be or not, it shows a pattern of arrogant, punk-ass behavior by The King.

    I'm not holding anything like that against him. That's crazy. I had high school girls who refused to wear a runner up district medal. They wouldn't even let them put it on them. It was stupid but they're in high school.

    I've heard a lot of hate for Nick Swisher from non-Indians fans. I think he fits on this list.

    Yeah. The medal thing I can understand, but the pretending to shake the coach's hand thing was just a bitch move. He was young, but as we saw with the The Decision, it's a pattern of behavior, not an isolated incident. JMO.

    The dude that pilot's the Night Train during the winter olympics. He seems like a guy I'd have a beer with.
    Already said, but Cal Ripken Jr. should be on everyone's list.
    Ken Griffey Jr.
    Alonzo Mourning
    Steve Young
    Jerry Rice
