Who do you think are the most liked / least hated big time (house hold name / borderline star) NBA players that are playing today? Throw out the loyalty to a certain team that youre a fan of.

There are only a few players that I can think of that almost all NBA fans like.

Curry, Duncan, DIrk, and Marc Gasol are the only ones that I can think of. Ive never heard NBA fans talk about how much they hate any of those players or dont like them.

Curry - Arguably the best shooter ever already. When hes on and is unconscious, hes the funnest player to watch. His shooting ability is as rare as it gets in the NBA.

Duncan - The Big Fundamental. He isnt an elite athlete or anything, but is the best PF of all time. Technique and fundamentals.

Dirk - Went on 1 of the greatest post seasons runs of all time. Basically single handily won the NBA Finals over the Heat. Was awesome to watch.

Marc Gasol - Great passing big with a great mid range game. Great post moves and fundamentally sound. Great D. Complete game.

Ive never heard people talk about how much they dont like any of those guys or about how they suck or whatever. And there arent too many players that are, for the most part, liked by almost all NBA fans.

Noah is close to being 1 of those guys as well. A lot of people didnt like him when he was 1in college. But hes almost completely changed his image in the NBA. Busts his arse, the best passing big with Gasol, and plays great D. But some people cant get over disliking him in college.

For example, guys like Dwight Howard, Griffin and LBJ dont fit the bill for this. They are great, but people have issues with them.

So who else do you think is a well liked , big time NBA player by majority of fans?

I went back and forth on KD. And I love him. 1 of my favorite players in the league. But I think the LBJ lovers would say they dont like KD.

Could be wrong. Hes 1 of the guys i went back and forth on.

What about Nash?

Andre Miller. Everybody loves Andre.

ETA: I guess I missed the "big time" part.

lbj lovers are not rational people and shouldn't be considered as part of the population

Never heard anyone say they hate Dirk.

And people dont like Griffin because hes all bark and no bite. Acts tough and what not but is a floppy bitch. ZBo knows what Im talking about.

I don't like Marc because I think his brother is better than him but some people disagree.

I also don't consider Marc a "big time NBA player".

Well that doesnt make sense.... Dont like Marc because you think Pau is better than him. Why does that make you not like him?

Hes been an All Star, Defensive POY, on the All NBA team, etc. And is widely considered 1 of the best Centers in the game.

Hes def a big time NBA player.
