Your Personal 5 Most Disliked Trail Blazers of All Time

Why the hate for Ruben? That dude hustled his ass off out there. Gave it his all. Bonzi was great for us in my opinion, and Damon is one of our best PGs in team history.

 

the 'hate' for Reuben might be because he pled guilty to attempting to rape his family's nanny

 

That’s what I’m asking. People are putting their feelings about the player off the court into the mix? That’s why I asked.

 

I see Jerome on quit a few lists though.

 

Darius Miles
Carmelo Anthony
Scottie Pippin
Rasheed Wallace
Trevor Ariza

 

The raping his nanny thing. Couldn’t stand Damon’s style of play, selfish when we had one of the most talented teams and in history. And lastly Bonzi was great but didn’t like his attitude.

 

I get the other 4 but why the hate for Pip?

 

Understood. I can respect that. Didn’t realize the rules on choosing players.

 

Hated him on the Bulls. He said and did the right things for a while after he got to Portland. He was supposed to be the leader of that team, so I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. He failed miserably. They got as far as they did in spite of his leadership, not because of it. If he reins in the knuckleheads and gives them a little focus, that team could have won multiple titles. Instead, he folded like a lawn chair.

Plus, he was notoriously cheap.

 

JR Rider
Bonzi Wells
Shawn Kemp
Raymond Felton
Damon Stoudamire

 

Obviously Ruben Patterson, that goes without saying. But that's because we know he's scum of the earth. On the court, if I knew nothing of his character, I might've liked him as a player. So I'm going to pick players by how I disliked them as basketball players (because, for all I know, there's a player who's a secret serial killer in his private life).

So: Telfair, Kenny Anderson, Damon Stoudamire, Shawn Kemp (because trading for him was what broke the Whitsitt era) and, I guess, Detlef Schrempf, because I loved him as a player when he wasn't on the Blazers and he just sulked the whole time because we traded for Pippen immediately after acquiring him.

 

I kinda see what you're saying, but Steve Kerr said that all the Bulls loved Scottie and that he always went around and gave them pep (Pip) talks after Jordan had sneered at them. Plus, you can kind of understand his cheapness if you know how he grew up - one of a huge family in fucking rural Arkansas whose dad was disabled.

I can't love Pip as a Blazer because we got the tail end of a great career. He's a Bull, so he can't be ours. That, in a nutshell, is what I didn't like about the Whitsitt strategy.

 

Spoken like a true Westbrook fan.

No, the player we traded for Damon was much better.

(True story: I met a guy who was highschool teammates with Stoudamire. Said everyone on the team hated his guts because he was an arrogant selfish asshole and rejoiced when he relocated to a much fancier high school.)

 

You're spelling it right, but you're going to have to explain that one. Guy barely played! That's like a Rockets fan really hating Spanoulis.

 

That's really punching down...

 

How dare you! One of my favorite all time Tar Heel. Welcome to my ignore list

j/k j/k

This is a very good topic. After some thinking will go:

Sebastian Telfair-Should have went to college. Or better yet, stocked groceries at Wal-Mart. Horrible player.
Qyntel Woods-Terrible human being.
Meyers Leonard-Looks like the guy my girlfriend in college cheated on me with, so piss on him even now.
Bonzi Wells-No explanation needed.
Kelvin Cato

 

He was a Serbian nationalist during the civil war. You can ask Nurk what that meant for Bosnians and Croatians. Not saying he personally engaged in atrocities but gave support to those who did.

Not every white nationalist participates in lynching but all carry responsibility.

 

Raymond Felton
Shawn Kemp
Gary Payton II
Rueben Patterson
Luke Babbitt
personal reason for all 5 ....basketball skills are a secondary consideration

 

My hate for him started in HS too. My HS (Sunset) beat his then undefeated Wilson squad and he was such a punk during and post game. Just an entitled prick. Then came his college announcement for Arizona. When asked why he chose UA spurning the local state schools, he said... "why would I choose a Yugo when I can drive a Cadillac?"

As a Trailblazer he was the same entitled prick who thought he was soooo much better then reality. Him whining his personal grievances to Quick at every turn was pathetic but in line with his loser character.

I didn’t expect SO MANY FEELINGS…
