Top 10 Most Disliked Sports Figures?

I put this question in the Basketball section because that sport is responsible for the highest percentage of sports figures on the list.

Basketball - 40%

Football - 30%

Baseball - 20%

Tennis - 10%

Update:

10. John McEnroe

9. Nick Saban

8. Stephon Marbury

7. Isiah Thomas

6. Allen Iverson

5. Kobe Bryant

4. Terrell Owens

3. Alex Rodriguez

2. Manny Ramirez

1. Michael Vick

My question: How many of them do you honestly dislike?

I do not require you to list the specific people you dislike, but you can if you wish.

As for my answer to my own question, I honestly dislike 7 of them, with one of the remaining 3 not even being a blip on my sports radar.

Update 2:

Those of you claiming that Kobe Bryant doesn't belong on this list need to check the following link: http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=ys-forbesdis...

Also, I don't know how John McEnroe (#10 on the list) made it when Barry Bonds didn't, but I didn't make the list. The list just inspired my question.

    question of the day:Why isn't Tiger woods huge variety one, he's almost a robotic while he talks and merely an all around sleaze bag. the place's Rodger Clemens and Barry Bonds, shouldn't they be on the record too? AL Davis is a sprint too extreme for my liking, i do unlike him, yet by some potential he ought to be interior the appropriate 8 not interior the appropriate 2, a sprint spectacular say the least. something i'm able to trust, change some names around right here and there...
