1. I used to hate Kobe Bryant but honestly, after a while I grew up and appreciated his talent. 2. I used to hate David Stern but I again I grew up. 3. I used to like Karl Malone but after reading tons about him I think he's a dirty prick. You guys got a few?

Lol just to join the band wagon- i used to loathe Kobe and the lakers - now i like them both. Kobe deserves some "spect".I still dont like the sheed - since his days in portland and the gm 7 meltdown v the lakers.
Exact same with Kobe. Hated him before, don't mind him now. I don't root for him, but I respect him and his talent.Rasheed Wallace. In Portland I hated him. But after he went to Detroit, of course I grew into liking him, and now he's one of my favorites.Ron Artest. I didn't mind him in Chicago, thought he was pretty cool, and even in some Indiana years. But November 19, 2004 changed my mind.
I used to hate Kobe's attitude and I just didn't like him for some reason back in his championship days because he took credit while Shaq was the leader of the Lakers. I didn't think Kobe could lead a team to the playoffs single handedly but he's proved me wrong and I've begun to respect him and he's one of my favorite players in the league.I used to love Antoine Walker when he played for the C's back in 2001 and 2002 when Pierce and Toine' took the Celtics to the Eastern Conference Finals against the Nets. They were a great duo and they were a great team but now that Walker has switched so many teams and jacks up shots, he's my number one most hated player in the league. I just hate his game.
I used to like the Spurs back when Robinson was with them at the end of the last millenium, but then they lost him and the Mavs gained Mark Cuban. Everything changed after that.

<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">1. I thought the NBA would suffer without Kobe & Shaq together, butit seems like they NBA got more publicity from the feud.2. I used to be a fan of high school prospects, but now I realize that all of them are NBA gold-diggers.3. I used to hate David Stern, but..... wait a minute, I still hate him!4. I used to think there were no such things as Cilppers fans, just people that couldn't get Lakers tickets. The Clips made the playoffs, but i'm still skeptical.5. I used to think that Isiah Thomas wold save the Knicks, but all he's done is spent too much money on everybody from Larry brown to Jared Jeffries.6. I used to think that you need pure stars to win a ring..... that was until I saw the Pistons.7. I used to think that Vince Carter was lazy, but I realized that he just had enough.</span>

1- Tracy mcrady- Disliked him for many reasons, he's attitude with the magic when he just gave up. He's comments about orlando not being a new team. But now i'd say he's one of my favourites2- Dirk- Thought he couldn't lead a team somewhere, thought he couldn't play defense. All proven wrong and now i respect him.3- Shaq- Only liked him because he was a lakers, didn't like his laziness and his "i got injured on company time so i'll take surgey on company time". Now he's an ass and i'll hate him forever. M.D.E my ass, he doesn't hold a candle to wilt.4- Odom- Didn't understand how much he meant before he got injured. Now he's probably up there with kobe as my favourite player.
