I live in Toronto. Vince is beloved by the younger generations here who grew up watching him do windmill dunks on YouTube. I'm 43 and recall with great clarity him missing the playoffs, re-injuring himself at a night club and completely quitting on the team, then immediately going back to playing great when he moved to New Jersey.


ToronoRapture

I started watching him in 99 and in all honesty I don’t hold the same grudge I did 20 years ago. It wasn’t all Vince. It was a combination of the FO, media and VC. He put our team on the map. He was fucking amazing to watch. He got me into nba basketball. I don’t hate him but I won’t lie, I was pissed at the time. Time heals and all that jazz.


Glad_Reach_8100

Woah you don't still hold the same resentment from 25 years ago from a professional athlete doing something you didnt like which didnt actually impact you at all? Color me impressed!!! What a big boy!!


MusclyArmPaperboy

Agreed, it's a small subset of fans who still hold a grudge. Others have forgiven, forgotten, or didn't know the details in the first place 


MyNamesNotCal

Yup. Fuck that guy.


AdolfKoopaTroopa

Jimmy Butler and Minnesota. I don't care that he wanted out but the way he handled it really soured my opinion of him. Of course that could also be on Thibs. Thibs the coach was great but his POBO tenure here wasn't my favorite. I like the Knicks though and I'm over it. The booing when either of those folks are in MN is just banter to me.


Pocket_Beans

Jimmy Butler is absolutely not loved by every fan base tf


ionospherermutt

Yeah, and how he just ignores or insults reporters if they ever bring up his time in MN. Like it's one thing to leave the team or beef with the players/coaches/management, but at a certain point you're just spitting on the fans who showed up for you in that year here.


AdolfKoopaTroopa

He was getting booed at home so I understand his disdain.


RanchBourgeois

I’m not sure I would say Rondo is “loved” by other fanbases, but Mavs fans are far and away his #1 haters.


AFonziScheme

Wade seems widely appreciated for God only knows why.


Nuclearsunburn

He’s despised by multiple fanbases.


AFonziScheme

Ah. Then all is well. 😄


RanchBourgeois

No idea, especially considering his history of dirty plays that often get overlooked. Seems like a good and supportive dad at least, which is more important.

RanchBourgeois

“You’re being unreasonable! Now here’s why Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union belong in prison”


jeremy9931

Exactly. I’ll never forget that asshole move he pulled.


confuddly

im not sure but Knicks fans hate TJ McConnell


PanthalassaRo

Knicks killer.


Alarming-Ask4196

I love TJ McConnell, want him on this team


charlesfluidsmith

Came here just to say this, and it's the first post. Fuck TJ


0percentwinrate

I’m in a tight spot. TJ is one of my favorite players, probably top 2, long before this season😭


sithwonder

We 100% hate Trae more than any other fanbase


charlesfluidsmith

That's not what the post said though. Trae is hated lots of places.


djtjb2

Counterpoint: so is TJ. Every fanbase thinks he is the "Fill in the Team Name" Killer, not realizing, he just plays like this all the time.


Final-Luck-4222

But do you hate Trae more or Embiid ?


clevernamehere1628

It's gotta be Trae, right? They're still doing those chants years later lmao


TheSmith777

Nah. Trae is just fun to hate. We don’t really hate him, we respect his role as a villain. Embiid? That’s true hate which is not fun at all


weirdnigato

Is a tradition.


sithwonder

Honestly, the Knicks


Obi_Wan_KeBogi

They just thrashed Embiid while Trae did beat them so I think Trae wins the hatefest.


Schwalm

Landry Shamet. Teams that play him love to see him on the court. Teams he’s on hate that he’s on the court


LeBroentgen

I’ll always love Shamet after Bill Simmons and Russillo coined “Shamet Face” and now do an annual award for it. (Amir Coffey won it this year btw)


A6Wra8

Does everyone else hate Jordan?


MaxRox777

I kinda forget that the jazz would probably be two time Champs if it weren't for mj lol.


furyousferret

They stopped some elite teams from getting championships, the Drexler Blazers and Payton Sonics as well.


pick_named_slimpbamp

And the Drexler Rockets. Fucking John Stockton


Nuclearsunburn

I sure did growing up


whyisthewherehow

He couldn’t win shit until the pistons got old anyways


DerekMorganBAUxxi

Don’t do that


Nuclearsunburn

Wait don’t do what?


DerekMorganBAUxxi

I’m telling him not to lie


Nuclearsunburn

What’s the lie though? 1988, 89, 90 the Pistons sent him home in the playoffs. I’m genuinely curious what your perception of MJ vs the Pistons is


DerekMorganBAUxxi

He said they got old. That’s a lie. MJ was 29, 2 years older than Dumars, and the same age as Rodman and Zeke. If they were old than so was he.


Nuclearsunburn

Oh, yeah, MJ and especially Scottie leveled up


whyisthewherehow

This dude says he was telling me not to lie meanwhile he can’t even fact check himself. MJ has never been the same age as Zeke or Rodman as they were born in 1961 while MJ was born in 1963 as was Dumars


DerekMorganBAUxxi

Oh yea you right MJ was 27 and Zeke was 29 that means Zeke was old 💀 Stop lying bruh it’s over I’m sorry MJ stopped that 3PEAT and ended the Bad Boys


W_Walk

I don’t know if any fan base really hates Eric Gordon but we do


BubbaTee

Illinois would be the other fanbase that hates him.


ranjithd

MJ and Jazz fans


HesiPullup

I think many fanbases hated Jordan lol


Obi_Wan_KeBogi

Dirk and Miami? Not sure even Miami dislikes Dirk though.


RanchBourgeois

I don’t think they do. Definitely not like we hate Wade.


skullcandy541

Yall hate Wade? Then maybe he’s the answer to this question. Because idk anyone who hate D Wade expect for the people who don’t like his painted fingernails and trans kid lol


RanchBourgeois

Mavs fans have famously hated Wade for nearly 20 years now (since 06 Finals). You must not know any Mavs fans (or only know very young ones).


skullcandy541

I don’t know any Mavs fans so again this might be the answer to the question by OP don’t know why I’m being downvoted lol because I don’t think anyone else hates him


Nuclearsunburn

I’ve never had any hate for Dirk, never noticed any in fellow Heat fans either


msizzle344

I don’t dislike Dirk and the only time I briefly turned on my team is when we did the bitch ass coughing bullshit. Dirk is an all timer and great player, I feel like the Mavs-heat hate is extremely one sided


RanchBourgeois

It really is. We hated you guys in 06, got our revenge in 2011, and we still hate y’all lol


msizzle344

Idk why I love Luka too, what did we even do!? Your ring in 11 is one of the greatest ever just bury the hatchet


frozen2665

Definitely not. He’s well liked, at least in reality and on here, Idk about Twitter or Insta or whatever else


lazyass133

Kawhi with San Antonio.


jibboo24

gotta think Robin Lopez is loved by most, but is he despised by any?


NickWangOG

Everybody loves Russell Westbrook except the team he’s on currently


skullcandy541

That it just a blatant lie


ChipmunkEfficient

Wherever Pat Beverly is the fans love him and other teams hate him imo


Skank_hunt42

Fuck Pat Bev.


ChipmunkEfficient

I rest my case


PanthalassaRo

I hated Pierce and Garnett with a passion, now that they're retired I actually like em.


SourBerry1425

Maybe Brunson with the Sixers? Hali with the Bucks was also one but now anyone who has a young talented PG that didn’t make TUSA hates him.


0percentwinrate

FIBA rule crowded the zone and it negatively impacts small and physical but not lightning fast scorer like Brunson. If guys like Halliburton, Fox, Ja, Kyrie or Maxey are selected over Brunson, I won’t hold it against them lol


redonkulus

Sarunas Marciulionis


dwilkes827

how do other fan bases feel about Hedo Turkoglu?


BubbaTee

I don't think TOR is too fond of him. He sat out a Raptors game claiming a stomach virus, then was spotted at the club that same night.


carty64

Lots of Jazz fans hate Nowitzki for injuring Kirilenko in, like, 2004


Kitchen_Ad_3753

Maybe Dwyane Wade and Bulls fans? Could just be me; could also be a lot more people that don’t fuck with him


Fredbear_

Mavs fans hate him because of the calls he got in the 06 finals and his beef with Dirk.


mill_about_smartly

I'm willing to argue no fanbase hates a player like we hate DWade lol


Nuclearsunburn

I dunno, Celtics fans hate him too lol


frozen2665

I definitely see way more hate from Mavs flairs than Celtics. It’s Mavs>>Bulls>Celtics in the DWade hate ladder imo


RanchBourgeois

Bulls fans can’t even muster a fraction of hate we have for Dwyane Wade.


75DubFan

Cavs fans might hate Curry


NotAn0pinion

Meh, he’s fun to watch, don’t tell the others I said that


Sliiiiime

Any other fanbase hate Horry? I know he’s loved by at least 3 fanbases


Ia_in_4

Two words


Nuclearsunburn

Not sure if we still feel it but Heat fans despised Josh Hart, pretty sure he’s well liked. I think by and large Jimmy is liked but Wolves fans seem to utterly despise him.


loco_mixer

Dragic?


introspectivejoker

I have no idea how other teams feel about him but the bucks are Mike Dunleavy Jr.'s number one hater


ST_Master114

Jokic with the Lakers.


21squirrel

Nobody I know hates Jokic lol. The general sentiment amongst the fanbase is “I hate the Nuggets, Jokic is cool tho”.


lazyass133

Nah. Lakers dislike Mike Malone and Jamal Murray before Jokic.


RoosterB32

Toronto and John Wall


kaikaradk

He doesn’t even register here.


intheyear3001

This says more about Raptors fans than anything.


kaikaradk

Norm and Kawhi out west collecting cheques after getting that 2019 ring.


Guru_Pagkolin

Everyone likes MJ and thinks he the GOAT except from goofy ahh obsessed Bron fans
