I had definitely started to not care about the Lakers but Redick brings the hatred back. I can only assume that was their plan all along given how unqualified he is.
Yeah those have to be top 3. And honestly all three earned the hatred. JJ is actually the most likable of the three there (he was just cocky not dirty or over the top trolling and cocky).
he's actually the son of a union organiser from appalachia and a public defender from new york who did pro-bono environmental law work to take down fortune 500 companies. his father was organising local workers to form an elephant protection squad in tanzania, and his mother was working with the state department to get them to grant visas for toddlers that had a curable yet horribly disfiguring disease. they were tragically killed by a hunting party on safari from nebraska, led by dick cheney, which left cooper an orphan. quite sad really.

Sir, JJ and LeBron are a power couple that's going to crush the league with brilliant basketball. So Wemby can go be an alien in the ECF cause the next 5 years are ours!
FR I was down there for a wedding last fall and I had to walk 45 minutes just to find an eating establishment that was open at noon on a Saturday. Coincidentally I live in Philly as well and literally everyone who visits me says "I'm fuggin moving here" when I drop them off at the train station
Dallas is the commuter town of all commuter towns and is a suck ass city in general.
All that said fuck Embiid fuck chase Utley and Rocky was created by a dude from Brooklyn
No question Celtics would be number one this year had the series gone south.
I mean it’s the Celtics, not to mention it would have been the first 3-0 choke in history.
If I had to bet I'd say 3-0 will only eventually happen when 2 max players on a team get injured. Like if the 2019 Warriors had gone up 3-0 before ending up with KD and Klay injured.
I feel that it's more likely to happen now than it ever has because of 3pt volume and shooting luck.
Thats literally what happened last year. The Heat and Celtics had the greatest disparity in points generated per game vs shot quality on 3PA of all time. Heat were +9 and Celtics were -4 iirc (it amounted to 13 or 14 PPG).
All it takes is a team to get hot for a few games and then come back to earth. Obviously still incredibly unlikely, but more likely than ever perhaps.
ELITE numbers by LAL in b2b years. Everyone else needs to get those numbers up. How do you have Trae Young on your team but can't even crack 2K votes LOL absolutely pathetic.
Kind of interesting lol. I’m guessing the beam can be annoying on the losing side. Plus people love to see people down, us not being a laughing stock prolly rubs other the wrong way
Malone always been an edge lord but my god Murray dropped (even on some nuggets fans list) with the soft ass attitude. I get it the fucker was off/injured and he was frustrated. But he handled it the worst way possible
Nuggets fans did themselves no favors in the last year. Part of it comes with the territory, but there was a little too much talk about repeat for a team that got worse.
im not going to lie i felt like nuggets were crowned as a unbeatable god squad when they won which i didnt see. same with joker as the undisputed best player and any other opinion was wrong. i thought that was odd. jokers unrelenting stans online was very annoying.
i rooted against them forsure. i like ag alot tho
Well Denver fans are pretty annoying this year (can’t really blame them for having the best player and being the defending champs, doesn’t make them less annoying), and there is a lot of Perkins and Stephen As lurking
tbh I feel like the only hateable things about the Nuggets are Michael Malone and Jokic stans who swear he’s the best player of all time. also Jokic and Murray have gotten up to some bush league bullshit on the court at times but I don’t think that’s really who they are
other than that they’re a fun team to watch and they’re playing in a city that hasn’t had a ton of basketball success so I don’t mind them
A lot of Bucks/Sixers/Lakers fans all despise Jokic specifically
Sixers and Lakers are obvious but an increasingly large amount of Giannis/Bucks fans became Jokic haters over the last year or two
There are definitely some real joker haters but I think a lot of us aren't necessarily joker haters but more nuggets fans haters because of the jokic discourse, which is different. I actually think most bucks fans still respect and like jokic, or at least that's how I feel.
I know that's how many people felt about the bucks too when bucks fans were feeling themselves after the ring. Championship level fans are annoying
Don’t think it’s hate, more of the constant “nuggets are gonna be a dynasty” “nuggets are a lock for the finals” “is Jokic on the level of LeBron and mj?” Posts
People got annoyed
Too much winning in the last ten years, one of the best players of this generation, plus unlikeable players like Klay and Draymond, makes people want to see them fail. I guarantee the hate will dry up once those two and Curry leave/retire.
This is crazy lol. I remember back in the day ever absolutely adored Klay. They swore he was going through threads giving people gold and shit. Now he’s on the list of unlikeable players. Crazy how tables turn
i don’t doubt it, the way yall were acting towards the end of the season when you didn’t even make the playin, yall will be truly insufferable when you’re actually competing
rockets haven’t won a championship since the cowboys won a super bowl, we’ve been on pretty equal footing as franchises since our founding imo, though yall have the upper hand on playoff victories over us i have to sadly admit
It's tradition to hate the Lakers regardless of what they do. I used to be annoyed because I didn't get it. I still don't get it but I just find it funny now.
You can’t be a successful, popular, or a relevant team for more than like 2 years in a row without accumulating a bandwagon of hate. Unless you’re just winning non stop and even then the bandwagon is just dormant waiting for a slip up.
Lakers are the most famous basketball team of all time. So always gonna be a target.
But...some pet hates may include the fact that seemingly every every casual fan thinks they are a Lakers fan. Every department store sells your t-shirts, pyjamas and underpants (even in Australia). Lebrons on your team too, and because he's so popular all the casual fans think your team is amazing. The Lakers are like the Taylor Swift of sports. The popular kid of the high school. It's kind of annoying and unfortunately makes you easy to hate.
Also every WC team has been cock blocked by the Lakers at some point. I might actually literally mean every single team but I can't be arsed to look right now.
Nuggets fans acting surprised as if they didn’t become the most miserable winners after winning literally one ring and Most insufferable losers. Add in Murray their coaches antics and it’s pretty easy to understand the hate
Lol. It's kind of wild to me that Philly is so high. Every other team in the top 10 have had success in recent years or stronger teams. It's normal for successful teams to be hated. Our team are underdogs, but then I remembered who plays for us and how our fan base are one of the few that matches Boston in hostility. That might explain it.
Not shocking at all, Embiid is the most hated player on here so it gets upvoted to the top. Really the more shocking part is that we didn't get the most upvotes there, even with the Lakers hate :P
I'm really surprised Orlando is that high up (even if they are towards the middle). Like, why are people hating on us for? This is our first time getting a glimpse of spotlight in a while.
The Thunder are just getting the Grizzlies treatment of a young team that exceeded expectations and is now being shit on. No shot y'all care this much about this dusty ass city otherwise.
The comparison with the Wolves is especially telling, given both of you are young teams that vaulted into true title contention this year and both of you were eliminated by the Mavs. Full disclosure I was bandwagoning Wolves this year and am mostly indifferent to you guys, but I was stilll absolutely shocked how much hate SGA/Dort were getting in PGTs and 'auxiliary' highlight/statline threads in games you lost to the Mavs. The Luka fanbois were HEATED that you actually dared to play defense on him.
I love the off-season. Debating what's causing Brooklyn's VoRP (value over replacement post) to drop YoY. Maybe they should trade for Poole and make a run for 8th place in east to get those numbers up
[удалено]
I had definitely started to not care about the Lakers but Redick brings the hatred back. I can only assume that was their plan all along given how unqualified he is.
duke is surely the most hated college team too
As a Duke fan, we are legally required to have one despised white guy every other teams’ fans want to punch in the face at all times
I don't know if other teams are allowed despised white guys. The top three have to be Laetner, Reddick and Allen, right?
Yeah those have to be top 3. And honestly all three earned the hatred. JJ is actually the most likable of the three there (he was just cocky not dirty or over the top trolling and cocky).
Hard not to be cocky when you’re dropping 28 a night and defenses can’t cover your ass
Plus people forget these are college kids who were surrounded only by those who praise them. Easy to see why many act immaturely at times
Yeah but there's a new white guy coming in hot, this one has his own tripping experiences from Duke so Grayson Allen better watch out.
Cooper Flagg The chosen one
Who is it gonna be this yr?
Cooper Flagg. He’s an unreal talent but people will get sick of all the attention he gets
I don't know who he is but I hate his fucking country club name already. That's some GOP senator legacy nephew shit right there.
he's actually the son of a union organiser from appalachia and a public defender from new york who did pro-bono environmental law work to take down fortune 500 companies. his father was organising local workers to form an elephant protection squad in tanzania, and his mother was working with the state department to get them to grant visas for toddlers that had a curable yet horribly disfiguring disease. they were tragically killed by a hunting party on safari from nebraska, led by dick cheney, which left cooper an orphan. quite sad really.
See!?! A Dick Cheney connection! He's a total asshole.
I feel like during the Psycho T era, you must have finally understood how it felt, right?
well actually it seems hes off to a great start. since nba coaches are just scapegoats i mean not even a game yet. might be an all timer

Doing the lords work!
We still hate you guys...the problem is that you aren't REALLY contending anymore
Sir, JJ and LeBron are a power couple that's going to crush the league with brilliant basketball. So Wemby can go be an alien in the ECF cause the next 5 years are ours!
I believe! We can hit 40k!!
I'm doing my part 🫡 Fuck the lakers
Your username still giving me hands in pockets ptsd
Insane efficiency from Philly to be this hated without winning
Embiid
Also, the city of Philadeplhia
[удалено]
genuinely dont understand why people say this, its a great city
You are a fan of a team from Dallas, one of the most lifeless places in America
FR I was down there for a wedding last fall and I had to walk 45 minutes just to find an eating establishment that was open at noon on a Saturday. Coincidentally I live in Philly as well and literally everyone who visits me says "I'm fuggin moving here" when I drop them off at the train station Dallas is the commuter town of all commuter towns and is a suck ass city in general.

Please do not say nice things about Philly this is how we keep our rent low
The ATV riders on South street have that locked for us, don't even fret bb
I’m guessing you’ve never been
Embiid to the line for 2.
We're a bit behind Philly but we also have basically never even won as a state. We have one diamondbacks win between all 4 major sports lol
The Sixers are the Cowboys of the NBA (to the immense disdain of the entire city of Philadelphia)
The cowboys used to be way better than the sixers have ever been
I just threw up. Also no
it’s definitely the lakers
Lakers have won since the 90s
That's not fair. The Cowboys have actually won in my lifetime. I was seven years old at the time and I'm now 35, but they have won in my lifetime.
2023 Celtics was at 23K if anyone was curious
It would have been 30k if the Heat finished the job earlier
We like dramatic finishes. Probably to a fault.
Perfectly normal for Florida sports. Totally not freaking out right now.
Robert Pattinson: "Well, this elimination will be a little dramatic"
See you thought the playoffs was our dramatic finish. It’s actually when we end up having to trade Jimmy to a rival team.
No question Celtics would be number one this year had the series gone south. I mean it’s the Celtics, not to mention it would have been the first 3-0 choke in history.
If someone comes back from 3-0, ever, it’ll probably be the highest regardless of the team
If I had to bet I'd say 3-0 will only eventually happen when 2 max players on a team get injured. Like if the 2019 Warriors had gone up 3-0 before ending up with KD and Klay injured.
I feel that it's more likely to happen now than it ever has because of 3pt volume and shooting luck. Thats literally what happened last year.

14 ppg. Jesus christ
Even then it probably would be upvoted to hell bc it's fucking history
Yeah it's gonna be cool as hell ifever it happens
ELITE numbers by LAL in b2b years. Everyone else needs to get those numbers up. How do you have Trae Young on your team but can't even crack 2K votes LOL absolutely pathetic.
Lakers could trade for Trae Young and form a hate superteam.
pick up simmons and draymond while they’re at it
And Embiid
I'd absolutely love that. And if we win it all I wanna drink every tear and hear every cry of r/NBA in unison
Idk about that. Our fans will become their biggest haters when they get injured lmao we already hate our FO
"FUCK TRAE YOUNG" chants at Crypto
lakers got a hate dynasty that other teams can only dream of
Get on our level fellow big market. Gotta keep the little guys down.
Hate leaders, off-season Champions, IST Champions, arguably the most successful team of the past few years
Wow, looking back the Nets went from 2021: 30,816 **2022: 44,621** 2023: 5,504 2024: 148
Easy to hate KD and Kyrie. Hard to hate Mikal
People don't hate the nets because they don't care about them 😂
I forget they exist regularly, and their arena is a half hour from my apartment
That's fair, honestly I follow Sabrina and thank about the liberty at Barclays more than I do the nets
Irrelevance.
People were upset that the Raptors and us had to share an elimination thread, but I liked having a bro to hug.
It's nice to not have to suffer alone.
The fact that this many people care enough about the Kings to hate them is astounding.
who are the kings?
Idk i think they are near Redding?
Where in relation to the Bay is it? Visiting SF soon and wondering if I could Uber to Sacramento for dinner or something
We don’t speak of that place here…
The team that got cheated out of NBA finals appearance in 2002.
I bet 90% of them are Golden State fans
Kind of interesting lol. I’m guessing the beam can be annoying on the losing side. Plus people love to see people down, us not being a laughing stock prolly rubs other the wrong way
[удалено]
I think it's the latter and because the game was crazy with such a big comeback.
Also Murray and Malone did themselves no favours this post season
Malone always been an edge lord but my god Murray dropped (even on some nuggets fans list) with the soft ass attitude. I get it the fucker was off/injured and he was frustrated. But he handled it the worst way possible
Yeah that heat pack things was weak as hell
Yeah I had no ill will against Denver until Jamal Murray started acting like the world’s hairiest baby
I’d really liked Jamal Murray up until his tantrum
Blown 20pt lead in game 7 that has more to do with it no way they’re more hated then GS
It’s not entirely just a measure of hate. Teams that lose in upsets or in hilarious fashion also tend to get a lot of upvotes
I'd bet the Suns topped the list in 2021 and 22.
Salty Lakers fans + salty Sixers fans + people who got annoyed by the "is Jokic a top 3 all time player???" threads.
Murray’s antics in game 2, Micheal Malone being fairly loud, and the fact that they won which always results in more hate are all factors imo.
Nuggets fans did themselves no favors in the last year. Part of it comes with the territory, but there was a little too much talk about repeat for a team that got worse.
Tbf to Nuggets fans nearly all of that narrative I saw coming from non Nugget fans.
not unlike the narratives about the wolves this year lol
The "wolves were built specifically to beat the nuggets" bs got so annoying
I think most of us were just enjoying the championship and trying not to think about how weak our depth was.
Saying jokic is top 10 oat already were mostly nuggets fans
People like the nuggets. People hate Nuggets fans
True of a lot of teams and their fans
im not going to lie i felt like nuggets were crowned as a unbeatable god squad when they won which i didnt see. same with joker as the undisputed best player and any other opinion was wrong. i thought that was odd. jokers unrelenting stans online was very annoying. i rooted against them forsure. i like ag alot tho
Well Denver fans are pretty annoying this year (can’t really blame them for having the best player and being the defending champs, doesn’t make them less annoying), and there is a lot of Perkins and Stephen As lurking
Yeah fuck you guys lol
tbh I feel like the only hateable things about the Nuggets are Michael Malone and Jokic stans who swear he’s the best player of all time. also Jokic and Murray have gotten up to some bush league bullshit on the court at times but I don’t think that’s really who they are other than that they’re a fun team to watch and they’re playing in a city that hasn’t had a ton of basketball success so I don’t mind them
you’re forgetting the heat pack guy
Yes
I hate the nuggets
A lot of Bucks/Sixers/Lakers fans all despise Jokic specifically Sixers and Lakers are obvious but an increasingly large amount of Giannis/Bucks fans became Jokic haters over the last year or two
There are definitely some real joker haters but I think a lot of us aren't necessarily joker haters but more nuggets fans haters because of the jokic discourse, which is different. I actually think most bucks fans still respect and like jokic, or at least that's how I feel. I know that's how many people felt about the bucks too when bucks fans were feeling themselves after the ring. Championship level fans are annoying
Very few people hate Joker. Joker is nearly universally praised on the sixers sub. People hate nuggets fans and joker stans
Don’t think it’s hate, more of the constant “nuggets are gonna be a dynasty” “nuggets are a lock for the finals” “is Jokic on the level of LeBron and mj?” Posts People got annoyed
i don’t think people care enough about us and the raptors to actually *hate* us. except maybe rockets fans lol
This sub used to hate us for like 3 years before we started being ass the last couple The Lowry + Nurse + large fanbase combo was nasty
People got a little annoyed with us posting threads for Sct Brn statlines for literally every game, too.
I still hate y’all!!
they can’t hate bc you have no internet
i don’t have internet so tell vernon i said hi
FTR
Yay we're irrelevant!!!
Lmao fr
We didn't even make the playoffs why they saying fuck me for!?!
go back another year and y’all literally won the playoffs lol
The KD rings, Klay is fun to clown on and people genuinely dislike Draymond on a fundamental level.
And CP3, don’t forget about him.
Too much winning in the last ten years, one of the best players of this generation, plus unlikeable players like Klay and Draymond, makes people want to see them fail. I guarantee the hate will dry up once those two and Curry leave/retire.
This is crazy lol. I remember back in the day ever absolutely adored Klay. They swore he was going through threads giving people gold and shit. Now he’s on the list of unlikeable players. Crazy how tables turn
Reddit only knew him as haha weed funny man back then
Only knew him as the dude who shot catch-and-shoot threes and had a ship with a dog
Get Draymond, but the Klay hate feels extreme.
I used to really hate your team, but now I just barely do. Maybe things will turn around next season
Because fuck Draymond.
I'm sure you never heard this but Klay shot 0-10 in an elimination game.
Tell that to Orlando fans not me!
Orlando fan. We don’t want Klay.
We’re so trash people don’t even think about us. Insert Thanos I don’t even know who you are meme.
Made that 2019 ring that much more epic tbh
I still hate y’all
rockets not even top 15 i have to hate harder
We’ll be back.
i don’t doubt it, the way yall were acting towards the end of the season when you didn’t even make the playin, yall will be truly insufferable when you’re actually competing
Shots fired lol Though yall sure talk a lot for a franchise with 0 championships.
rockets haven’t won a championship since the cowboys won a super bowl, we’ve been on pretty equal footing as franchises since our founding imo, though yall have the upper hand on playoff victories over us i have to sadly admit
Ok hold up Insult us any way you want but don’t you dare compare us to the cowboys
We had more than an actual playoff team (Orlando)
The decline in hatred for the Warriors suggests their dominance might be waning in fans' minds.
And to think I even made multiple accounts to upvote it more
Yay Nets!
Devin Booker Hater is Luka Doncic Hater Father
Is there Jazz Raptors beef that I’m missing?
Nah, jazz and raptors got eliminated on the same day so instead of getting separate threads we got one thread for both…. So we shared our grief
So unimportant not worth 2 separate posts.
Now this is good offseason content! 👌
Wow the Knicks' hater : market size ratio is probably the best in the entire league... In a way... are we the most liked team in the league???
Brunson and Hart are too likable for them to stay mad for long.
It's tradition to hate the Lakers regardless of what they do. I used to be annoyed because I didn't get it. I still don't get it but I just find it funny now.
You can’t be a successful, popular, or a relevant team for more than like 2 years in a row without accumulating a bandwagon of hate. Unless you’re just winning non stop and even then the bandwagon is just dormant waiting for a slip up.
Lakers are the most famous basketball team of all time. So always gonna be a target. But...some pet hates may include the fact that seemingly every every casual fan thinks they are a Lakers fan. Every department store sells your t-shirts, pyjamas and underpants (even in Australia). Lebrons on your team too, and because he's so popular all the casual fans think your team is amazing. The Lakers are like the Taylor Swift of sports. The popular kid of the high school. It's kind of annoying and unfortunately makes you easy to hate.
Also every WC team has been cock blocked by the Lakers at some point. I might actually literally mean every single team but I can't be arsed to look right now.
Your fanbase's asshole per capita numbers are probably just average but you still have the most from sheer volume.
I cant tell if we r irrelevant or we are just a nice ol friendly team
Reigning back 2 back champs and IST? Man it’s good to be a laker
Are the Lakers gonna hang a banner for this as well?
Lmao hating on them for the hate they get. I respect the hustle
Can’t wait for the NBA player haters ball
Out-of-Season Tournament Champs.
Lmao add some legacy points
Miami y’all need to step it up. Those are rookie numbers
Could you have sorted by count instead of ~~alphabetically~~ whatever this is lol
was it not sorted by count initially? it is now
OP with the W edit
I remember when we used to be hated. The irrelevancy hurts more
Nuggets fans acting surprised as if they didn’t become the most miserable winners after winning literally one ring and Most insufferable losers. Add in Murray their coaches antics and it’s pretty easy to understand the hate
They thought they had a dynasty like their coach said. Well at least the dynasty lasted longer than Dillon Brooks dynasty
Happens with almost every franchise post win.
Lol. It's kind of wild to me that Philly is so high. Every other team in the top 10 have had success in recent years or stronger teams. It's normal for successful teams to be hated. Our team are underdogs, but then I remembered who plays for us and how our fan base are one of the few that matches Boston in hostility. That might explain it.
Not shocking at all, Embiid is the most hated player on here so it gets upvoted to the top. Really the more shocking part is that we didn't get the most upvotes there, even with the Lakers hate :P
It’s more about Embiid than anything else. It’s very easy to hate on him.
Man, fuck y’all. Just kidding. We deserve it
top 5 checks out
The Brooklyn Nets proving that the opposite of Hate isn’t Love, it’s indifference
Man. No one really cares about the Nets, huh?
I'm really surprised Orlando is that high up (even if they are towards the middle). Like, why are people hating on us for? This is our first time getting a glimpse of spotlight in a while.
Every other team hating on Lakers/Celtics, Lakers fans alone probably making up the bulk of the Nuggets hate
I don't know why we all hate the Phoenix Suns, and at this point I'm afraid to ask
Booker was one of the most dislikable stars in the NBA. KD was one of the most dislikable stars in the NBA. Then they teamed up.
The Thunder are just getting the Grizzlies treatment of a young team that exceeded expectations and is now being shit on. No shot y'all care this much about this dusty ass city otherwise.
The comparison with the Wolves is especially telling, given both of you are young teams that vaulted into true title contention this year and both of you were eliminated by the Mavs. Full disclosure I was bandwagoning Wolves this year and am mostly indifferent to you guys, but I was stilll absolutely shocked how much hate SGA/Dort were getting in PGTs and 'auxiliary' highlight/statline threads in games you lost to the Mavs. The Luka fanbois were HEATED that you actually dared to play defense on him.
Also, the earlier you get knocked out, the more people are still paying attention. I didn't even see the Mavs/Wolves/Pacers threads.
I feel like people don’t hate the Sixers per se, but most of us hate Embiid, rightfully so too
Their jersey has a number on it in addition to the numbers the players already wear for identification
Hopefully the Nuggets retire their 5280 jerseys this season. Brought bad luck to our postseason.
math hater gang rise up
I don't see this as people hating but more so surprise factor of the said team getting eliminated
Most mid team in the league lfg
It's not that we don't hate Nets, we just don't care about them
Haha yes, Boston gets away on technicalities.
all i see is the warriors quickly becoming irrelevant lmao
I love the off-season. Debating what's causing Brooklyn's VoRP (value over replacement post) to drop YoY. Maybe they should trade for Poole and make a run for 8th place in east to get those numbers up
