I tried hard to forgive LeBron even though I said I never would because it was explained to me that he came to the Cavs right out of high school and never went to college and Miami could be seen as him going away to college for 4 years and being stupid with his friends before coming back home. And after the last 3 years I've not hated but not liked. I appreciate what he does don't get me wrong because obviously very important piece of the team but I try to just forget the past but this off-season the issues with LeBron and Kyrie I immediately said trade LeBron for picks if you have to Kyrie needs to retire a Cav. My #2 all time favorite Cav other then Andy Varijo. I even got the Uncle Drew bobbleheads that sell for like $100 a piece on eBay. Kyrie being my favorite and I collect Pepsi stuff so it's a perfect double brand collectable.
But back to the topic haha honestly Nash caused issues for me in the playoffs who I cheered for in years because I liked Stepan and Girardi and I think torts coached Nash at least 1 year but I liked those rangers with those 3 when we weren't in it and I rooted against them ever since even if they played my absoluteeast favorite teams like the pens or Montreal because I didn't want Nash to ever win out of spite.
That's what made it hard this year was I wanted ANA to win after we lost but once it was preds vs pens obviously I wanted the preds but I couldn't hope that because RyJo then I realized since he wasn't playing they could win because he didn't play haha. I honestly dislike him more then Carter and its not even close for me. Carter had literally JUST signed a deal with Philly in good faith assuming he would stay there and continue to contend coming off some great years and they immediately trade him. He didn't sign that long term deal to be traded right away he could have signed elsewhere if that was the case. Columbus wasn't being run like it is now back then so I don't blame him as much. I still can't stand him but it's also necause he's a tool on top of ****ing us on top of his off the ice issues and didn't he allegedly lile sleep with Hartnells wife or something? Idk. Stories like that come up though. There was one about Ryan Kesler apparently sleeping with Corey Schneiders girlfriend in Vancouver but I've never seen anyone say anything about that and I was living in Van at the time and I've seen videos of Kes and Schneider joking since then. They say that's why Kesler wanted out because his wife was tired of him ******* around Vancouver is what I'm told... because SoCal is not going to have attractive women haha.
There aren't really any other former players I dislike though. Umberger and Brassard probably as far as I can think right.now. There are tons I love though. Boll, Dorsett, Bass, Arty, Saader, Hartsy, and Wild Bill. I'm aware 3 of those haven't even played a game for their new teams yet and 1 of those guys I'm scared to see what happens because does he take it easy on the guys he ends up against? Maybe Motte will have to drop him haha
