He is sort of the Taylor Swift of the NBA. I don't get it but it's whatever. He is undeniably one of the best players in the NBA and watching him play there is nothing really annoying about it but his fans are such a turnoff.


People like good players and he is best player, what is not to get? Weird comparing him to music you wouldn't like.

I dont get the Jokic hate.

He isnt personable enough to have an extreme opinion on him.

He's just good at basketball and people are tired of hearing how good he is offensively. Maybe its his fans.

I don't think I dislike anyone in the NBA currently. Everyone I disliked is retired. Guys like Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson, Ricky Davis, Shaq when he was elbowing Sabonis in the head and the refs called the foul on Sabonis and for a fifth uh.... Corey Maggette.

It definitely has to be the fans who become annoying to some people. Like, sometimes I think - do I dislike Harden? - And the answer is no, I just dislike that fan fanboy of his. Same with Spanoulis and Mirotic12... Like, I loved Spanoulis, but come on... Sometimes fans of certain players are so bad, you start actively cheering against the player himself, tho he did nothing wrong. I personally do not think Jokic has those fans, but there are a lot of them, so sheer size of them can start irking people, especially if person isn't sure if Jokic is best player. Jokic fans will say there is zero contest for that, but I mean there is some contest, and if you hold opposite opinion, you will start hating the guy.

After MJ and LeBron era, it is very refreshing to see a Superstar who isn't an egomaniac in any way. He just wants to play and go home.

I would get it if Jokic was smug, dirty, outspoken on non basketball issues, a coach killer, or even complained in games etc.

He's just a boring personality and isn't very vocal about anything. Makes sense about the extreme fans though.

+1 for most unique list. I'd be curious to hear why you dislike Sengun and AG so much.


Sengun's play style really irritates me same as Sabonis who i forgot to include on this list. Gordon tries to act tough all the time

The banana boat and anyone of of that anti-competitive mold, basically.

1. Lebron - Where to begin......couldn’t win so teamed up with two MVP candidates including a player at his level, "not 6, not 7 not 8", flopping, caring more individually than as a team (2011 is plenty proof), throwing teammates under the bus and of course the annoying, completely undeserved GOAT comparisons.

2. Embiid - the same reasons as Lebron minus team up

3. Chris Paul - Always found him overrated on this forum, called it decades ago that he can't win as a 1st option, flopping, struggling in the clutch and several playoff chokes, very overrated as scorer.

4. Harden - team up culture, cheap scoring/baiting, flopping, was convinced he couldn't keep up his scoring in the playoffs, was right.

5. Mo Williams - just kidding. :lol:

And honestly? Anyone who prevented those top 4 from their shenanigans is usually someone that I like, because I'm not cool with gaming the system. Durant can be on this list but IMO he did it as retaliation for the Miami Big 3, which was a bull**** move. Heck, Durant even admitted so.

Anyone who goes against the competitiveness of sports is who I dislike. Instead, I like the Westbrooks and those who give it all, remaining mentally strong and competitive, even if they suck. I also like the Jokic's and Luka's, who have an all around game and can score from anywhere rather than being a 2 trick pony, sticking with their teams in the process. That type of game is beautiful to watch.

You can add Steph for the same reason that he stuck with his franchise and got it done. I also was convinced that he'd be one of the leagues best players after seeing him play in a college tournament, something I'm still proud of.
:o LeBron is 0-7 in game winning/tying FGs in the finals. And is 20/116 or 17% in game winning/tying FGs in the 4th/OT for his career. That's historically bad :o

Current:
Harden - no redeemable qualities with a punchable face. Dirtied up the game with travels.
Cam Payne - his face pisses me off for some reason, and shoots too much
Jericho Sims - name me a worse basketball player
Chris Paul - Ahole who plays dirty with a punchable face. Can't deny his skills though.

All time:
Kobe - ahole with punchable face who looked down on teammates and shot too much
Melo - All about me, me, me, me, never the team at ANY point in his career

We all know he is great. It's the fact his fans make every excuse as to why they aren't a good team. Every game "Jokic needs help", "Jokic needs to demand a trade". It gets annoying hearing that crap. Just look at these Denver topics on the main page.
