Yeah, he should be on that list.

If you want people to start talking about your magazine, newspaper, website, etc all you have to do is publish a pointless top 10 list.

I would imagine quite a few people would agree with you that he's hated. He's paid his dues though... IMHO

Or Barry Bonds.

Are you serious? Kobe, Barry, and TO are probably the Top3 in my opinion.

TO - Self explanitory
Kobe - Perceived "ball hog", criminal rapist (allegedly), rats on his teammates (saying Shaq paid someone $1mil in "hush" money), very cocky
Barry - very moody, doesn't talk to media unless he feels like it, demands a black leather recliner in his locker, never does fan appreciation days, takes steroids (allegedly)

That rape thing was disproved completely. The woman was an obvious gold digger.

Maybe, but it still looks fishy and makes him look bad, not too mention the fact that he cheated on his wife, got caught, ratted on other players saying that a lot of athletes do it (which may be true but still you don't rat) then buys his wife like a 4 carat diamond. It just makes him appear sleazy. Plus running Shaq out of town didn't make him too many friends.

My List would be:

1. Barry Bonds
2. Kobe Bryant
3. A Rod
4. Lattrell Sprewell
5. Ron Artest

I don't mind the guys who talk sh!t but back it up (aka Terrel Owens, Chad Johnson, etc)

T.O. being the most hated athlete is just silly. Sure, T.O. is a jerk...but football is a business...he has the right to hold out for a better contract if he wants to, he has the right to talk bad about his piece of sh1t QB if he wants to. And bottom line, Owens just wants the ball and he wants to win.

By all accounts, T.O. is a good husband, a good father, and a good friend...that is what matters in life.

You don't see or hear TO beating his wife and kids, doing drugs, selling drugs, having public sex on boats , murdering people, cheating on his wife and raping people, getting drunk at Maxim parties days before the 2005 superbowl and then playing like sh1t then coming to training for the 05 season in even worse shape (yes McNabb, I'm calling your chubby ass out).

In my opinion...the Eagles are a fvcking cry baby organization and I'm glad for T.O. that he's done with them.

He doesn't talk sh!t. He's an asshole.

i'm not the biggest kobe fan but man, stop with the ridiculous logic.

What has shaq done without kobe...even with wade he's not doing sh1t in the eastern conference...so that point can go either way.

and as for the rape trial...it was a bunch of bs and its those suburban soccer moms that seem to have the biggest problem with his 'image.' They are the last demographic that is actually interested in basketball yet they form the strongest opinion without really knowing anything about the dude

arod? ive never heard anything bad about him. both him and barry are two of the hardest working baseball players, and two of the best. i give them permission to be upset if someone doesn't work hard to get better and help the team

7. Randy Moss
8. Mike Vanderjagt
9. Lattrell Sprewell
10. Jeff Kent

Here is the blurb on that guy i didn't recognize

6. Michael Iaconelli, Fishing : We give you America?s biggest basshole. As one rival puts it, Iaconelli, a loud, brash New Jerseyite, has ?disgraced? the predominantly southern, rural, Christian sport of angling. ?When he catches one,? says celebrated fisherman Denny Brauer, ?you?ve got the fist pumps, the running around the boat, the lying flat on the boat. He?ll stare at the fish, yell at it, point at it. He?ll shake his finger at it.? Iaconelli has repeatedly defied the sport?s time-honored codes


I don't understand, since when fishing is a sport? I'm an avid fisherman, but I don't think it's a sport.
