Lebron James scorned an entire city when he left Cleveland Ohio to join the Miami Heat this July.
He’s now looked at as some sort of a villain for skipping town , taking less money, and going some place he has a chance to compete.
Now he finds himself at #6 on the list of most hated athletes, so who could be more hated than him? According to Q scores;
1. Michael Vick
2. Tiger Woods
3. Terrell Owens
4. Chad Ochocinco
5. Kobe Bryant.
Something is wrong with this picture, all of these guys are essentially the best (or one of) at what they do.
We understand Michael Vick for the dog fighting, though animal loving Eagles fan was singing a different tune after he almost saved the day this past Sunday.
We understand Tiger Woods due to the past year he’s had, but we think the “hate” is a big front. When Tiger is on fire as he was a couple weeks ago for one day of the weekend, the crowd was wild, as if he’d never done anything wrong before.
Terrell Owens has been relatively quiet the past few years, he’s not the TO of old, whom would easily find himself on this list.
Ochocinco is a ridiculous addition to this list. He’s one of the most popular celebs on Twitter, and is known for taking his fans out for dinners, movies, and flying them in for each Cincinnati Bengals home game. What’s there to hate?
Kobe Bryant? It’s time to move on from the whole Colorado thing. The guy is one of the greatest ever in the NBA, has 5 championships, multiple MVP awards, any hate here is out of jealousy. Michael Jordan had flaws in his personal life. Most people do.
Just goes to show that jealously fuels this world.
Who would be your top 5?
I just wanted to say I AGREE WITH YOU WHOLEHEARTEDLY! I was wondering the same thing about some of those on this list, Chad O in particular!
Thank you for this article!!! Excellent!
how about Rapelisberger? this list is 90 percent black.
Kobe has one MVP award.
but besides that..yeah
well, in all honesty Mike Vick has been one of my favorite players since i was 8 and other than Tiger the other three are also fun. Kobe is just amazing at ball and TO and Ochocinco are just funny. no reason to hate on em.
I think that people r actin so dang childish and dumb so get over it. It’s were Lebron wanted to go so 4get all u haters and people need to start actin more like aldults then little kids bout it and I’m only 14 and being mire resonable then all u haters. -let’s go Miami heat
Kobe has six MVP awards: 3 All-Star, 2 NBA Finals, 1 NBA regular season
Rapelisberger not on the list…..hmmmmm. So a dog fighter beats a date rapist on this list? WOW!
The only guy who’s the BEST at what he does on this list is Eldrick. The common denominator of all of them is over-the-top arrogance (and most have bad laundry). Sure the crowd cheered for Woods when he’s hot—they’re golf fans at a live golf event—means little about his overall image. Chad Owens is a clown who is EXTREMELY arrogant. Kobe is probably the least arrogant of them all, but still pretty arrogant—and a bad boy.
The other 5 are situation game/series specific awards not THE mvp award. So Kobe has been the Most Valuable Player in other games/series but he has won the MVP award – that constitutes what 95% of the population is referring to when they go through a tally of how many times you have won it – once. I’m from L.A. and am a hardcore Lakers fan..I think we just need to be honest with the situation though
kobe bryant is a rapist so thats a good reason not to like him.
Of course I meant CHAD JOHNSON (not Owens)!! He should have stuck with his real name!
MICHAEL VICK CONTINUES TO MAKE THE WORLD SICK…….FOOTBALL ONLY CARES HOW GOOD HE IS ON THE FIELD AND ITS FOR THE MONEY $$$$..TO BAD THEY DONT CARE WHAT KIND OF A MAN HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN . ANYBODY WITH ANY CLASS AND EDUCATION KNOWS WHAT KIND OF A PERSON HE REALLY IS…A VERY SICK PERSON WHO NEEDS HELP. YOU WATCH..HE WILL MESS UP SOON ONCE MORE…..
In response to Maria,Iwould bet my life and yours especially that you have done something or will do something that you are not proud of. Thats just how life is thats a FACT. Apparently you did’nt know that people make mistakes and can atone for them. It seems that you hate Michael Vick for what he did. It’s okay not to like him, but hate is a very strong word.A word that you must learn more about. It’s odd, with you being a woman and all, that you didn’t mention any of the wife beaters or the guys guilty of crimes against women or other human beings. In my opinion there seems to be a certain element of the population who value the lives of animals more than that of a human. I’m sure there are quite a few readers out there who will agree with me. One just needs to be aware of the facts.
Maria. Please shut your mouth. In fact, all Mike Vick haters, please shut your mouths. There are rapists (Ben Rothlisberger), and wife beaters, and murderers.. And you’re all b****ing about someone who made a mistake with a dog fighting scandal. You’re literally more mad about some dead dogs than some dead humans. Really… That’s insane. Learn what’s important in life. I love animals. I have a dog myself. But to care mor about an animal than another human being. THATTTT is what is sad. Get over it. Vick has. He’s said he’s sorry. And he’s shown it. So get over it and stfu.
Lol y’all people don’t got shit better else to do with y’all damn life. If y’all ain’t notice or not the only people y’all are worrying about is the black people. Cause you have Ben Roetlistberger running around here beating up , on females for the past two damn years. But still haven’t made the damn list. Like how the f**k! So what its cool for Ben. But its not cool for Lebron to make his own decisions.
I think it’s obvious that people dislike arrogant people. And dogfighters and cheaters, apparently. The bottom line is arrogance, though. I don’t like these top five, either, because they are arrogant in one way or another. You find me a hard-working, humble player who lights up the place and I like them. Even if they are on a team I dislike.
All you racist people need to get off your high horse. (i’m taking about “boo-hoo it’s all black people”… well guess what, black people are incredibly disproportionately represented in the high-paying sports of football and basketball… isn’t that racist?)
its not a black thing..its not a white thing..it a $$$ thing..tyson raped..bryant..raped big ben raped..vick killed dogs.when millons are at stake..nothing matters to any sports fan!!!!!
when black players get in trouble.they run to the blacks for help..and never giveing a crap about whats going on with them until they get in trouble..when bryant raped that lady.boy he ran to the blacks..now he could careless about us!!!!!vick too
How could you put a ??? by Kobe Bryant ? Interesting how you minimize by saying “that Colorado thing”. He raped another human being, maybe shattered a life, spinelessly “settled out of court”, and everyone is just supposed to get past it???
Tyson went to prison, Vick went to prison, Kobe can sit back and laugh because it just cost him a few bucks. I would be more willing to “give a person another chance” if they were ever held accountable. Kobe got away with it. Oh, and this is not a black thing.
LBJ was the shit i am a cavs fan and was very disappointed but ok people get to express there fellings and they did but you need 2 lay off of this guy hes trying to bring miami 2gether like he did for akron. give this guy a break i don’t care 4 him anymore but jesus christ u people are creeps………………….. respond to AM 4 LBJ if u comment
yeah but there is one major diff between big ben and vick, he was never convicted dummy. it was all allegations, meaning drunk tramp see’s a 100 million dollar man and tries to get paid, vick electrocuted, shot, and drowned dogs who didnt fullfill his master plan to make him money.
once ben has to pay a settlement or is convicted then I would agree with many of the statements, but since he hasnt he cannot be held under the same light as those who have like Kobe, Vick, Tyson.
I truely think women who cry rape..and then settle out of court deserve to be victims..stupid sluts..lol
I’ve forgiven each of these athletes. Their crimes were minor, or they have taken appropriate measures to change. As athletes, they’re all great, but as people, they have problems/ But who doesn’t have their problems? The only athlete I’d say I truly hate is OJ Simpson.
dont hate me!!!!
