Players you shouldn't like....but...

Wanna hear your confessions!

Anyone have a player(s) who is 'that guy' on a team...The press calls them a Cancer...they hurt the team...everyone sighs relief when the are traded and screams WTF when they are traded to your team. I'm talking about the Stephon Marbury's, the Steve Francis', the Ron Artest's....but....for some reason you really like them?

Might be their talent when their head is together, the swagger they carry themselves with or maybe just cos they are so insane they are entertaining?

I for one am a big Stevie Franchise fan. Loved his 1st run with the Rockets, Loved him at the Magic and even rooted for him in NY.

So come on, anyone else out there really like a player they know they shouldn't?

As a Magic fan, I should really hate T-Mac

But I can’t help but root for him. He seems like a good, conscientious person off the court and — when properly motivated — an elite player on it. I wouldn’t be upset if he and the Rockets won a title, as long as it didn’t come at the Magic’s expense.

Screw T-Mac. On that note, screw the Rockets in general. I’m bitter about 1995 and I’m bitter about the T-Mac steal.

Vince Carter

I know, I know… but every time I see a Nets game, I get excited when Vinsanity has the ball in his hands.

There’s a reason stars sell tickets.

Chris Paul

I thought long and hard about this and who else is more exciting to see right now than Chris Paul? Chris Paul had me mesmerized during the playoffs and the only other thing I kept my attention on outside of the Magic. I knew he was something special when he dunked on Dwight Howard. Sure, Kobe dunked on (rookie) Dwight, but Chris dunked ON (an experienced, shot-swatting) Dwight! That’s when I knew he was something special!

I know, it burns. Here’s something to turn that frown upside-down.
