im obviously biased, but does fricking anyone hate kirk hinrich? what the hell would you hate him for? he would possibly win a kansas bracket of most liked players ever

i dont really like craft at all though so maybe it's like that for other fans. the reason i dont like craft is because i think he sucks at offense and it's frustrating that he's so good at defense and so not good at offense.

for me it's hansbrough vs. redick in the finals.

I still don't get why hes "hated". Honestly, I'd replace him with Carlos Boozer.

(And I hate him because hes a bum on the Bulls )

I don't necessarily like him because I don't give a shite about Kansas, but I certainly don't hate him. I think they just picked out the best white players and put them on there.

I kind of thought the same thing about Christian Laettner..maybe I was kind of young, but did people hate him that much? Or bobby hurley for that matter?

Oh, and I hope someone pushes Aaron Craft out of a jet at cruising altitude with no parachute.

He was the Manti Te'o of college basketball. The anointed one. The good player who was elevated prematurely to the stratosphere because of his school and his marketability.

white fans can't handle the idea of an unassuming white guy being exponentially more athletic and successful than they are

I guess you forgot about Cassell then. FSU was very good with those 2.

The most hated to me was Hurley because they never lost he just seemed to whine so much.

Yes.

Just look up where he stomped on Aminu Timberlake in the same '92 game where he hit "The Shot".

Laettner is going to SMASH this bracket. Larry Johnson redeemed himself with the grand maw-maw stuff, but he was pretty roundly hated.

I do not recall any "Never Nervous" Pervis hate.

The only basketball player that really stands out to me as "I just couldn't stand that guy" was Ben Hansborough, not Tyler. I'm really not sure why, I just couldn't stand him

I hated Reddick in college, but this is far from true. You don't have arguably the greatest season in Duke history by just shooting 3's

The one guy who I despised was Rony Seiklay, I hated Syracuse plus him being from Beirut. I also hated Carneseca and that damn sweater.

If you think Wojo is the most hated Duke player in the past 30, you don't watch enough college ball.

It's Reddick or Latenner by a landslide

Reddick wrote poetry about how people were mean to him and read on SportsCenter. He was probably more fun to hate than any Duke player ever. I hated old Wrinkle Head as well, the grand champion of the Duke Flop. Shame he's not on the list.

While in school, no one was more hated than Bobby Hurley, but we've retroactively decided not to despise him due to the ca accident. Which is fair. We hate Wojo instead, in all of his floor slappin, "coach on the floor", surrogate son goodness. But Laettner is a shoo in t win.


I can't believe Bryant Reeves isn't in this bracket. Not only was he a worthless white post player. He took all the credit for OSU's run to the Final Four when it was Rutherford who was playing out of his mind. Man, I hated Reeves. The Big Country, what a sham.

Oh, and Derrick Coleman was the personification of evil.
