I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… people love to hate Boston… and that’s fine with me.
The latest example: The Celtics have three players on a most hated players list compiled by a gaggle of bloggers.
9. Paul Pierce. Perennial loser in Boston until Danny Ainge made a deal with the Devil to bring in Allen and Garnett. From chirping at opponents to an overly cocky demeanor Paul Pierce is easy to hate. Don from With Malice summed it up best with this, “I mean… a wheelchair?”
7. Kevin Garnett. For years KG took pity from NBA fans who saw his situation in Minnesota as a dead end. After Danny Ainge lost out on a top pick in the 2007 draft he quickly went to work and acquired KG. Soon enough Garnett became a bully in Boston. The yelling and taunting was now just over the top. Then after the championship things really got out of hand. Just ask Jerryd Bayless or Jose Calderon.
3. Stephon Marbury. Stephon freaking Marbury. A basketball cancer at its highest level. No matter where he goes the team fails. Is it because he’s the ultimate me-first guy? Maybe it was the smugness he exuded on the sideline in New York as he ran a coach out of town and destroyed a franchise. The best part? He’s on the Celtics now, even more reason to dislike this guy.
That line just sums it up, doesn’t it?
Fine… let them hate. They’ll have even more reason to hate Boston in June after the Celtics repeat.
