Who Was The Least Respected (Even "Hated") Blazer?

Ah yes thats right, so many punks on those Lakers teams with Odom, Ariza, Bynum and Metta.

 

Don't forget Rick Fox. Where's that clip of Fox getting punched by Doug Christie? I could use something to brighten my day.

Ahh. That's better.

 

CTC was the worst. Sheed the putz.

 

Wow so this thread is over 4 months old. Just realized that. Always great when your behind the times and have no clue, haha.

 

Didn't Fox, like, cheat on his former Miss America wife with some skank in Hawaii while the team was holding Fall camp there?

 

Greg Oden.

 

Least respected? In, ya know, LMA's mind, LMA.

 

oh shit we diggin in the crates!

so much hate on my boy Damon. feelsbadman.

 

For me, updated:

1. LaMarcus Aldridge
2. Damon Stoudamire
3. Darius Miles

 

Yeah, my hate for Damon has receded a little. His game in the modern era would probably be a lot more valuable. Besides, it's hard to continue viscerally hating someone who is so far removed from the team. Aldridge is on the top of my winner board for losers.

I don't really have a lot of hard feelings for Miles. Yeah he was overpaid and he couldn't shoot. But he was in an era when we just didn't have a lot of talent. Not his fault. On the current team he'd be fine as a bench player. In fact, he's pretty much Mo Harkless.

 

Damn maybe I'm too young but I had no idea Damon was hated like that.

He was rookie of the year and had solid numbers during his prime years. I mean we almost won a title with him.

But again I might be to young to remember the hate but I'm 28 now and don't remember the criticism was like this.

 

I've never seen a player put less effort than Miles did when he checked out mentally from the team. It was a fucking disgrace. Plus he'd show up to practice smelling like Vodka, you could tell he was just mailing it in. Just played like he was stoned and didn't give a fuck after a while.

I still don't like Damon, its just Aldridge overtook him.

 

Im 29 and I remember me and my buddy going outside after he missed free throws against the jazz to blow a big game and we kept saying "and now at the line daemon stoudamire" then we would chuck the ball at the rim as hard as we could.

What up with the sheed hate? Dude hated refs for same reasons we do now and wasnt afraid to call them on their bullshit. We need more guys like that around the league.

 

What's your trip with Nick The Quick?

 

Jiveass? Homer you nearly made me do a spit take with my coffee!

 

I hated him on the L*kers, and was NOT happy when he came here.

 

It feels really good to see how many posters here realized what a plague on the Blazers Damon Stoudamire was for so many years; I had always thought that I was one of a few who believed that. I don't think I ever really hated him though, more like a burning resentment against the GM who brought him here and signed him to a huge contract (and never replaced him) and any other GM's who didn't get rid of him (although who would take such an under-performer on the massive contract?)

 

I blame PetterNash for giving him that stupid contract. Miles had effort and work ethic concerns his whole career, was discarded for Jeff McInnis. Miles just did what he always did. We had the dumb management that thought paying him $50 million would change him.

Then we gave ZBo the max when we could've just waited a year until he was a restricted free agent. It would be like paying Meyers the max last summer. Then we gave Theo Ratliff $10+million per year. All contracts were ridiculously stupid because at that point we were a lottery team.

 

Just to repeat myself: The Blazers player I've hated the most was $amon. Period. In the modern era, I hated Crawchuck in a similar but lesser way, and couldn't wait for No Mo to Go (And free CJ).
