He was hated? I don't remember that.

Pre-mid 1990's slump he was considered a dick...

Ok, I was a little young then, but I definitely remember him being liked in the late 90s.

I didn't really know this until after he died and I read the biographies...I was young too then.

Good call on Cuban.

Barkley is about as beloved as a player/analyst can be.

Chad Johnson
Mikey Vick
TO
Lebron
Tim Tebow
Manny Ramirez
Cam Newton
Ricky Williams
Ray Lewis
Kobe Bryant
John Wall (only Cowherd hates him, but I'll count it)
Baron Davis (didn't realize he was hated, but a couple of people have mentioned him)

I never realized how many hated athletes I liked, I'm sure there's more I can't think of at the moment

ETA: Also, Jay Cutler. I felt bad for him after the whole NFC Championship Game fiasco where he was legitimately hurt. He comes off as a douche, but I think he just is really reserved/doesn't know how to act in front of a camera.
