Most hated CBB players of all time

[GooseMutt]

Laetner getting treated like by the pros was poetic justice

My only memory of Paulus at Duke was that hilarious charge he tried to take against VCU in the NCAAs. He’s not hatable imo. Just….pathetic.

Yup. Plus they didn’t win anything and were largely disappointing while he was there.

He fit in perfect with a long list of other Duke guards.

Hahahaha oh, no. Most of those guys were actually skilled at flopping and getting calls. That’s what made guys like Battier so hatable.

Paulus was just embarrassing.

Michael Graham

^^This.^^ No list is complete without him. Grayson Allen is still #1 on my list, but it was a really tough call.

Virginia fans hate Michael Graham too?

I hated him for his performance when Georgetown won the tournament. For ACC fans, he was the personification of Big East "No blood, no foul" thugball.

 

[HOFCeluck]

personification of Big East thugball.

While that’s true, he had a lot of unlikable qualities as well.

In terms of annoying antics, sure. But lacked the talent of Hurley or the talented teammates to carry him to getting an outsized amount of credit of Wojo. So ultimately he’s just not as memorable.

You’re making me want to defend him….

A few more...
Chevy Troutman, Pitt
Ryan Sidney, BC
Reeves Nelson, UCLA (genuinely a terrible person unlike almost everyone else listed who is just annoying)

Michael Graham

I get Michael Graham and Reggie Williams mixed up (I was too young to remember either.)

Were they both dirty players?

Reggie was a much better player than Graham, Graham was just a big body being used to hit people. Reggie was dumber than a tree however.

I think Craft might be number one for me because he was so hideously overrated. The Duke guys were at least great talents as you can see by their nba careers. Craft just fouled well and got calls

Krauser is an easy top 5 for me too.

 

[OttoMets]

Duke's overrepresentation on the list seems exactly right.

I'm torn: on one hand, Pittsburgh needs a player or two on here; on the other hand, Pittsburgh doesn't really matter so of course they're left off.

Patrick Ewing hands down. It’s one thing to talk trash like some of them did including Devo. But nobody except Ewing physically choked a player with his hands around a players throat. And not once, but twice. Should have been arrested on the spot.

I guess. But nobody other than Grayson Allen has tripped people approximately 27 different times in games while his school twiddles its thumbs. He's a natural #1 on here, IMO.

Oh, I hated him too. I just don’t put tripping in the assault category.

Here's my litmus test - how would it be handled on the playground?

Hands around neck is bad, but it's not unheard of when things get chippy.

You kick or throw legs on the playground, you're getting your --- beat.

Didn't he play football too??

Cant really argue with this. No idea who Marshall Hender is and he comes in at number 3.

Think Eric Devendorf on steroids.

With less game. That guy was a one dimensional low percentage chucker if I ever saw one.

Yeah, I was meaning strictly attitude lol

You know, at the park. Informal outdoor pickup game.
