People we love to watch fail miserably

[elindholm]

Joe Mama got this idea started by throwing out Byron Scott. I'd like to add

Isiah Thomas
Jason Kidd

Maybe we can come up with a really good list. It's not just people you don't like or are mad at, but ones whose miserable failures bring you particular joy. I really want to add Phil Jackson to the list, but unfortunately I can't honestly say that I've seen a lot of "miserable failures" from him, so I must reluctantly give him a pass.

 

[Yuma]

Danny Fortson!

 

[scoutmasterdave]

Kobe Bryant.

 

[scudney]

Kenyon Martin

 

[Kolo]

The U of A football team, 2 and 8, and hopefully yet another miserable failure this year on November 26.

In terms of NBA hoops, I'll second Fortson and throw in the Bulls, since the worse they are, the better our pick is in a year or two.

 

[myrondizzo]

i dont have names but just there teams. that have kept us from getting a championship: Da Bulls, and the Rockets (although the whole yao is better than amare on the espn boards kinda soured me on yao so i watch for him to fall short). and of course the knicks form the brawl and the penny trade. oh and probaly googs because what he did to us was stealing.

the yankees

 

[carey]

Lately it has to be Carmelo Anthony and Latrell Spreewell.

 

[scotsman13]

for me i hate the anti-nba players, you know the players that always put the nba in a bad light. melo, AI, spreewell, the whole jailblazer team, kobe, etc. oh and lets not forget my most hated nba player karl malone.

Anyone in a Celtics jersey.

Go Lakers!!!

 

[Gaddabout]

Chris Webber

Greg Popovich (if he gets to coach Team USA, I will root against us)

Danny Ainge (he's not *our* a-hole anymore)

 

[LakeShowMan]

Greg Popovich (if he gets to coach Team USA, I will root against us)

Just curious, what do you have against Popovich?

Even though he coaches the Spurs, I have always found the guy classy and honest. Not only that, but in the last few years I have even begrudgingly given him the credit he has deserved for being a great coach and GM. I would love for him to coach Team USA, and I have built quite a lot of respect for the guy, which is amazing because I can't stand the Spurs.

 

[SweetD]

Robert "towel" Horry

Sam "alian" Casell

Kobe Bryant

Jason Kidd

stupid coin for the coin filps EEEEEEERRRRRRRRR

 

[Cheesebeef]

WITHOUT A DOUBT - KARL MALONE!!!!!

And a little bit of me likes to watch KG fail -I don't know what it is - I just think he got too much hype way too soon - but he's been a monster for the last season and a half - I'll give him that.

 

[jbeecham]

The Lakers

[Gorilla]

I could add John Paxson to the list

 

[Gee!]

Anyone in a Lakers or Nuggets uniform.

 

[myrondizzo]

I could add John Paxson to the list

[AmareFan]

Lakers
Mark Cuban
Chris Webber
Danny "The Thug" Fortson
Kobe Bryant

 

[Gaddabout]

.

You're the GM of the Spurs and you left coaching because you couldn't win a championship with David Robinson. You get lucky and draft Tim Duncan. You then fire the coach you helped hire so you can resume the position you left just when things are looking rosey.

Congratulations on getting a ring, but don't pine for my respect. Make sense?

OK fair enough.

Trust me I don't want to like the guy. I hate the Spurs. I hate Tim Duncan. I hate GINOBILI! I just have built up a helathy respect for Pop over the years, and was wondering why he was on your s#!t list.
