Pick #5 of Suns most hated top 10 list

[sunsbum]

No one actually hates these people. I’d like to believe there are very few people in this world that an individual actually hates. Like I could say I hate the island boys but that doesn’t mean I think about killing them every day or wishing harm on them. Hate is more like “I strongly dislike the way this person played for the team or acted while on the suns”. The word is used loosely just roll with it. Speaking of which, did someone nominate the 100 dollar bill guy. F that guy. You could just see the bad juju rolling off that man from my nosebleeds at home.

SO ... this is a weird poll... yeah, there are a few players I didn't like for their failure to live up to expectations. Bender, Chris, Jackson was a tool... and then a few who really just quit on us like Chowder (especially Chowder), Ayton, and Bledsoe (tho I don't blame him). The MoBros were straight up gangstas but they played hard for us. the Horry hatred came after the fact, and many forget Amare's blatant solicitation for a FA deal.... but none of these guys did real damage like McDungahhh and NoShowJones and to a lesser extent Kerr. Jones and Kerr blew valid chances at a title, while McDingleberry was just a poor judge and manager of talent (Goran says hi). Porter and Watson were **** coaches but they were selected by GMs. Monty was far worse IMO, considering what was possible. That leaves the owners*.... Sarver and Wishbia. BobbyS and his foam fingering was an odd one. His real F-up was letting Joemamma Johnson go, but we did get le Cherub Diaw and he did oversee the glory Nash years. Still some dark years followed. Currently, Wishbia has dug himself a hole, a big one, and looks to be still shoveling. When it all washes out, his impact may be the longest lasting one. He gets a 'this year' pass before even the most optimistic see the pickle he has brewed.

I quit hating though, as this is such a rollercoaster franchise to be a fan of. Im about done with emotional ties, or rather wore out. I have no 'Favorite Sun' anymore. Ive been through 3 finals... and at this age, will be surprised to see another.


* it should be noted Jerry Colonjello had at one point the worst trade in the history of the NBA well, for our franchise anyways, (Roby/DJ) but he did get us Westphal, Davis, Adams, Kidd, KJ, and Barkley. We've had such likable players throughout the years. not so much anymore. but the whole league has changed and been compromised with massive money.

Frankly, Jerry might be tops on my list just for selling out when he did. How things changed post JC.

I think the whole Roby/DJ trade went down quietly. Compared to todays twitter "I don't want to be here" antics ala Bledsoe, the 1980's were a dearth of NBA silence. From what I understand, DJ was a complete azzhat to MacCleod who was probably the best ever Suns coach. I can't blame Jerry for moving off a douchebag and maybe Roby was all he could get. Kinda like a modern day Ayton. The return value was never gonna materialize.

That was the worst trade in Suns history by a long shot (even worse than the 13th pick, 27th pick and Bogdan for Chriss). Even if a guy is a pain, you don't trade him for nothing. They've made a lot of dumb trades, but that one takes the take.

Yeah, I voted Brandon Knight. I hate Horry but as a Suns employee he was barely there...threw a towel in Ainge's face (which a lot of people probably wanted to do) and then was traded. I hated him as an opposing player though.

Knight frustrated me to no end on the court. The most boneheaded plays. I still remember things vividly like when we were up by 1 or 2 with like 3 seconds left and he had to inbound it. I literally posted in the forum "all you have to do is inbound the ball and NOT turn it over", and he ended up throwing it in to the other team and they ended up winning. Stuff like this happened regularly too. He would snatch defeat from the jaws of victory singlehandedly like no player I had ever seen.

Yeah, you can see there are some posters who actually literally hate players, but I doubt many overall, as a % do. It's just the ones with pure hatred are pretty loud sometimes.

Horry

[JRoy]

No single player has done more damage to this franchise than DeAndre Ayton. We are still paying for this mistake to this day. At least McD picked Booker, even though that was pure luck.

If it is any consolation POR is also paying for that mistake as well.

Ayton is ass and not in a good way.

Matt Barnes should be on this list.

How is Ishbia not in the poll?
It should be:
1a - Sarver
1b -Ishbia
















2 - everyone else
