I can't finish that sentence with that plane in the background, how are you going to change your name to world peace and then take a man's name? head off his shoulders with an elbow you can change your name but you can't change your Mike Tyson arms number two LeBron James LeBron was one of the most beloved basketball players during his dominant high school career and in his first career in Cleveland he carried The Cavs back to the finals began to become an all-time NBA rating, but the fact that he took on the nickname King James before winning a championship or even reaching the finals gave some people the idea that he was conceited. boy, but then in 2010, when he made the decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers on national television and joined the Miami Heat to form their big three, he instantly became one of the most hated players in league history , everyone wanted to see him fail and regret his decision. go to South Beach, so when he found success in Miami and made four consecutive appearances in the NBA Finals with two championships there, he only made people hate him even more.
However, he helped solve this case by returning to the Cavs and completing his mission of bringing them a championship, his loyal fans always stood by him and he has won back some of the people who turned against him since he left, that, Combined with his continued success and becoming one of the NBA's all-time greats, it has earned him plenty of points for most. NBA fans, but they will always be those that hate LeBron and number the Bad Boys Pistons team and I know what you're thinking, how could I put an entire team as number one, but there are three or four people like this team that deserve a place?
On this list, instead of taking up three spots, it's easier to put them all on one, but that being said, the Bad Boys Pistons team was probably the most hated team in NBA history, they were mainly known for playing extremely tough defense. . under the other player's skin and for trying to start fights with the other teams, the most hated standout was without a doubt Bill Laimbeer, but we still have to talk about the team as a whole and guys like Isiah Thomas, Rick Mahorn and Dennis Rodman, but Starting with Lam beer, he was a pretty good sinner, but he was the most hated because he was one of the roughest and dirtiest players on the team and that, combined with the fact that he was born into a rich family, just rubbed people the wrong way. . and not to mention he was the one who organized the idea of ​​the Pistons walking off the field before being swept by the Bulls in the '91 playoffs so they wouldn't have to shake hands and then, like fridaya thomas, he is one of the best point guards in NBA history, but he received a lot of backlash for leaving the court because he was one of the leaders of that team and he received even more hate for saying that if Larry Bird were black, he would be just another good player and Then, off the bad boys, Magic Johnson wrote in his book that when he found out he had HIV, Isiah thought magic was gay because before all the information we have today, he thought it was something only a gay man would be diagnosed with. led to him being kept off the '92 dream team because Johnson said he or any of the other players didn't really want him on the team and then there was Rick Mahorn, who was never really a great player in the NBA, but made his career .
In addition to being one of the dirtiest players in league history, he constantly yelled at referees and tried to pick fights with the other team's best players so he could throw them off their game. One of the most popular examples of this came in the 1989 playoffs, when the Cleveland Cavaliers looked like they were headed to take the number one seed in the East, but that was until Mahorn elbowed their star point guard Mark Price in the head and gave him a concussion and then that led to him missing tough games where the Pistons were able to take the number one seed in the Eastern Conference and then along with all of this on the same team was Dennis Rodman.
He was never a beloved player for all the following reasons why he left his team during the '92 finals to fight. with Hulk Hogan appearing in his book signing a wedding dress and saying he was bisexual and getting married, having an affair with Madonna and kicking a cameraman, none of this happened when he was playing for the Pistons, but he was another one of them . Tough players, all of this combined with the fact that he was always an odd guy made people dislike him, including his former teammates Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan. For all these reasons, the man definitely could have had his own place on this list, but in his place I decided to include him here for you to have, whether by other players, fans, or a combination of both.
