Who are some Rockets you hate now that they're no longer Rockets? Who are some Rockets you love even though they are no longer Rockets and playing for other teams? I'd like it to ideally be currently active players but don't let that stop you from adding more to your answers.
Dislike: Parsons, Royce White (if he counts) Like: Landry, Hayes, Lowry, Brooks, Scola, Tarik Black, Troy Daniels, Delfino (if he counts), Courtney Lee, Patterson I also like Jeremy Lin as an 8th-10th man on a team, I just hate the firestorm that follows him around.
My thought process for making this thread was how fans of Orlando and the Lakers absolutely HATE Dwight Howard. Dwight Howard might honestly be the most hated player in the NBA. I love him but I understand the disliking just not the hating. I got to thinking about if I would actually hate a player for leaving or wanting to leave. Parsons might be a good example although I don't hate him but he definitely lost me as a fan with his whole "Houston is dirty" and I left Houston so easily rap.
I normally like all the players we get, and root for them once they leave. But, obviously not a Parsons fan anymore. Don't really like Marcus Morris. And I hated Budinger for awhile, then started to like him, now he's irrelevant so I don't care about him.
Tarik Black Aaron Brooks DeMarre Carroll Chuck Hayes Jordan Hill Carl Landry Courtney Lee Patrick Patterson Luis Scola
I can't say I hate any former Rocket; yes that includes Rolls Royce. Of active players, I definitely hold AB, Scola, Chuckwagon, Lowry, Landry and Patterson in high regard. Why'd you have to be a jerk, Gogi?
I don't like Parsons. I didn't like Ariza until he came back for his second stint. I don't like Kevin Martin all that much, and I never forgave Hasheem Thabeet and Terrence Williams for stopping at Cinnabon and delaying a trade (remember that?)
