Yeah. I remember something about that. She was the one in control and he couldn't take a leak without checking in, or something of that nature.

My hate list is similar (I'm a little younger, so there's a few recency bias).

R. Rondo (Quitter)
T. Hardaway Jr. (Just look at his performance in elimination games the past two seasons)
W. Matthews (Tank comander, master of bad shot selection)
L. Odom (Duh!)
D. Jordan (Made us a laughing stock in the league + feuded with Luka in his time here)

I'll see your THJ and raise you a Harrison Barnes. Took a LOT of cash to be THE GUY, but never, ever delivered. Then, when Luka arrived, tried to freeze out the new star. IF the ball ever went in to Barnes or Matthews, it never came out again.

Say what you will about KP's contributions, but his acquisition was a chance to clean house of a lot of pre-Luka deadwood.

My hate for THJ comes mostly when we need him most and he doesn't deliver (also because there are lots of Mavs fans that love him despite his performances). Especially the last two elimination games we had against LAC in both years. Barnes is also a fair candidate, given his performance in the GSW-CLE finals debacle.

JET was also a person who disappeared when the stakes were high and left Dirk without a Robin many times...

JET excised those demons in game 5 and 6 of the finals where he couldn't miss and helped carry the team when no one else but Dirk could score.

That 3 he hit in game 5 over Lebron in the 4th is forever etched in my memory.

I remember some reporter asking JET how he was going to keep up with the bigger MIA players during the finals. His reply was something like, "they better worry about keeping up with me." Then went out and backed up the swagger.

I mean. Y'all think what you want. I got enough love to send THJ and JET to cover for y'all haters.

The last playoff game is a loss unless you win the championship. It's good to remember the wins and not just losses.

I also remember 2010 when JET replaced Roddy who was hot and got many fans to grab their pitchforks...

2011 he redeemed himself after scaring everyone calling out LeBron...

I remember the 2010 FreeRoddyB debate was much more geared towards JJB vs Roddy and not Jet but maybe I'm misremembering.

Obviously JJB ended up paying off in a big way but Game 6 of that series against the Spurs made us all look really dumb for not giving Roddy burn earlier than Rick did. You had guys like Duncan and Kidd calling Rick out after that. 2011 changed soooooooooo many narratives.
