    But this is of course a bogus poll. For example, someone like Rasheed gets ridiculously disparate responses - opposing fans would hate him (and some of ours, too) whereas his teammates loved him (except maybe Sabas).

    Pau Gasol? He's one of my most hated players in NBA history.
    Joel Embiid should be much higher on the list.

    I like that Dame, CJ and ET are all ahead of Lebron...other than that my list would be quite different...I can go with Dirk as number one but the list seems to be star driven....where's the Will Barton and Ed Davis? I also think Boban should be top 3

    I'm surprised Isiah Thomas isnt on the list.

    I bet Nurk would be pretty high on the most hated players list.

    It really depends on the audience. I bet journos like players that teammates don't necessarily (Damon Stoudamire, anyone?)
    So there should be a different poll for Teammates, Opposing players, fans and journalists.

    I think Olshey has done a mediocre job, at best, of assembling a roster

    but he certainly has done a great job of assembling a roster of likable guys...even the guys that drive fans crazy with their play. ET and Meyers are classic examples. You can't help but like them as people. It's a high character roster

    I mean, wouldn't just about everybody be completely shocked if any of them ended up on a police report? And we even have an international fugitive on the roster who is extremely likable. I guess though that Nurkic might not be likable to a lot of fans in other teams....but that makes him lovable in Portland
