That's how it works for me too, outside of PHX, MIN, NJN/BKN, OKC. I can't imagine there ever being a player that'll wash away the hate I have for those teams.
I also sometimes like/dislike teams based on players. But I always hate the Lakers. I don't care who they sign.
I cannot stand the Lakers. Will always root for them to fail. Aside from that team there are teams that I dislike not because of the team itself but because of their fans and those at the moment are only two team. Wolves/Houston.
*edited: Try it without using "gay" as a pejorative* Phoenix - A lingering Jeff Hornacek induced hatred that will last forever. And of course the Lakers.
Lakers - I will cherish every loss we give them no matter how crappy that team becomes Rockets - What a bunch of annoying punks from GM to coach to players Thunder - They killed our little brother Lakers - Hate is a strong word...... I hate them
Hornacek? I have no hate for him. Unless I missed something he was a good player and reasonably inoffensive.
