Most Hated Players (Sporting News Way)

[X*Cell]

I got this idea from Sporting News...

They did it for 2 Duke guys...

They went to Google, and typed in hate JJ Reddick and it came out with roughly 21,600 results... and then they put in hate Shelden Williams and it only recieved 783.... Its not near perfect... but its fun.

I'm going to do that for some NBA Players, former NBA'ers, and Coaches... it should be fun.

Instead... I will do exact Phrase "Hate ... Player"

and if a player has a predominant nickname (Shaq, TMac, etc...) I'll use it.

---------------------------------

Tony Parker - 2,410
Allen Iverson - 2,310
Shaq - 1.610
Tim Duncan - 999
Kobe Bryant - 834
Larry Brown - 725
Ron Artest - 560
Michael Jordan - 539
TMac - 292
Dennis Rodman - 270
Manu Ginobili - 260
Yao Ming - 236
Steve Nash - 190
Ray Allen - 121
Larry Bird - 114
Kevin Garnett - 59
Chris Andersen - 2


I'll do more... you try it yourself... its pretty fun to see how hated some guys are... POOR POOR TONY PARKER

..At least spell Redick's name right when doing something like that.

Re: Most Hated Players (Sporting News Way)

I think kobe only getting 864 invalidates the argument ... whats really good is if you have the google toolbar for firefox, it tries to guess what you'll type and lists the amount of results for that query in the drop down box...

for example on my way to typing "hate jj reddick" the term had 2,010 queries whereas hate Jessica Simpson had 220,000 and hate jeff gordan had 400,000...

I hate Damon Jones, his stupid leg kick he does when he dribbles is the most annoying thing I've ever seen on a basketball court.
