I used to hate:

Tom Brady when he was beating up on Peyton ever year

Russell Westbrook Selfish ass :russ:



I've come to respect Brady and it actually feels odd for him to not have won a SB in so long

Same with duncan, fukk him getting another title tho


Westbrook keep me laughing so he cool with me

Lebron James. I don't like or hate him, but I respect his game. One of the most dominant players I've ever seen.

Used to hate Kobe even though I could admit that he was the best in the league for a period. Arrogant as fukk, but it's that same killer attitude that makes him so great. Imagine if LeBron James had that Kobe/Jordan killer instinct :wow:

Tom Brady

After watching this video, I built some respect for him. To think he was going to be an insurance salesman if didn't get drafted.

Lebron. I didn't hate him at first, then during the season he won his first MVP practically begging for it, he lost points with me. Then the stunt he pulled losing the series to Orlando acting like a little bytch when yo ass was dancing all damn season but now you sore loser though? The fuk? Then the final straw was the basketball camp fiasco saying you didn't get bammed on, like it even mattered. Like he too good to get dunked on or something.

Wasn't feeling Lebron after all that. Always respected his game though. After the way he was treated for going to Miami by CAC, I had to back a young black man deciding on his own future and not letting people think he owed Cleveland anything. As if they did HIM a favor by taking him #1 .

Brett Favre :smugfavre: Game winning pass to send us to the Super Bowl :troll:

Kobe - Didn't like the Lakers, didn't like him during the early post Shaq years, but, you gotta respect what he does on the court

Lebron James. I don't like or hate him, but I respect his game.

This

And to add to that; that's a strong mofo

This is a business

He stacked the deck in Miami, but, he still emerged as the leader of the Heats

Lebron...only now I'm beginning to appreciate his dominance. He was a 'of the moment type nikka' but I respect dudes game

Peyton Manning....dude is a machine with it, can't hate on his skill set.

Rafa Nadal....never quits and has some magic power of Roger Federer
