"the mail man" for me....couldn't stand the Jazz then and still can't to this day!!! I never really had a problem with anyone from the Sonics.
For me, this is a no brainer. Karl Malone and John Stockton. I hated those 80's Sonics too with Dale Ellis, Xavier McDaniel, Tom Chambers. Anyone remember Bill Hanzlik from the Denver Nuggets. Sweet mother I hated that guy.
Stockton is hard to hate. He didn't talk trash. He asolutely destroyed us but I have nothing but respect for him.
easily david stern, but since we're talking players utah never has likeable players, neither does dallas
yes i forgot about him especially, hes so gay when he tries to get crowd into games by doing his jet act, someone should knock him down when he does that
Shouldn't this poll have more recent choices? How do you have a rivalry with guys retired for 5 years? Lol. My vote goes to Carlos Boozer. I hate that guy.
I don't see how this poll is even close. I've never hated Kemp or Payton (OK, I did hate Payton after he left Seattle). We've only played Nowitzki in the playoffs once. And as much as I hate John Stockton, I at least respect the guy. It's got to be Karl Malone. I hate the player and the guy seems like a real ass.
OP should change Nowitzki with Terry or Finley, or both of them. This is a hatorade thread, mavs should be there but Nowitzki is not the guy Rockets hate most, while Terry and Finley still lives.
You nailed this one! I picked Malone and would have picked Stockton second if that were an option but I absolutely hate Joey Crawford.
