The Most Hated Players In College Basketball History

Today in this video we are covering, in my opinion, the most hated players in college basketball history. Who did I miss?

Hope you guys enjoy the video and as always, welcome to the Hardwood :)

I read the title and automatically said "This will be Duke heavy"

[oldbloodnguts]

Grayson Allen is an elite heel. He's like the enforcer role-player that you used to see back in the day in the NBA, the guy that was in just to piss off the opponents and cheap shot their best player

[patty_g]

Bro forgot Aaron Craft (he did absolutely nothing wrong, we all just hated him for no reason whatsoever)

[timbest]

If it wasn't for Grayson Allen, J.P. Macura from Xavier would've been the most hated player in college basketball from 2014-18... he was just the ultimate antagonist on the court, but he's actually a really cool dude off the court

It’s Grayson, Redick, and Laettner. In that order from #3 to #1. It’s not close, it’s not a discussion, and is universally accepted. Go Duke!

This video could be 45 minutes long just on Duke.
1. Laettner - the dirtiest player in CBB history, loved to scratch and elbow.
2. Redick - wasn't just the occasional head bob or wave. He did it the entire game.
3. Allen - someone needed to just kick him in the nuts
4. Wojokowski - the stupid floor slapping thing
5. Gerald Elbow Henderson
6. Bobby Hurley - just over the top stupid intense
7. Battier - flop and flop some more
8. Cherokee Parks - a less skilled oaf after Laettner
9. Dahntay Jones - played with his balls a lot
10. Scheyer
Dishonorable mention: Horvath, Shav Randolph, Maggette
That's just off the top of my head. Don't forget their wonderful coach quitting on the team one season in the 90s because they stunk and he didn't want to tarnish his win percentage.
How a classy guy like Grant Hill ended up there is a head scratcher.

The 30 for 30 on "I hate Christian Laettner" was great.
I loved Duke when he played, and I can see why he was hated, but he also might be the best college player of all time.

NO! Bro 😂. You HAVE TO do a video on the Reddick vs Maryland beef. Beef History did one and it is deeper and more heinous than you can think. They were actually the ones behind his phone calls and actually verbally attacked his family.

He is the most hated because an entire fanbase consistently made it PERSONAL!

How does anyone these days think they can get away with crap like Grayson Allen did? And then try to give some BS excuse?

3:14 I was at that game with my dad and my lil bro. We got tickets for Christmas. Everyone in the arena was shocked. I kept yelling “F YOU GRAYSON!” (I’m a diehard bulls fan). My lil bro started yelling it too but he didn’t know what it meant 😂. I am still, a year later, shocked at that play.

[ritchietodd]

I once saw a top 5 of most hated college basketball players that went like this:

1) Christian Laettner
2) Christian Laettner
3) Christian Laettner
4) Christian Laettner
5) all other hated players combined

[malikomar]

Brad Davidson didn’t do anything wrong except for him putting his foot under the basket, and still you never know if he even tried to do it on purpose 😂

[mrmojorisin]

Laettner isn’t hated merely because he was good and played for Duke. In his autobiography, HOF coach Jim Calhoun singled out Laettner as “the dirtiest player I’ve coached against in my career.” In the entire book, Calhoun criticizes no other opponent by name other than Laettner. Btw, the infamous 30 for 30 “I hate Christian Laettner” episode includes several sort of neutral comments from Calhoun—but it omits the damning one from his book. I need no other proof to see that episode as bullshit pro-Laettner propaganda. How could you leave that out?

Superb video. Newly subscribed. PLEASE make this an ongoing series. We NEED this 🙏🏾

As a Kansas fan for life, and a current senior here, over recent years I know every Big 12 schools fanbase has HATED Christian Braun. He was very vocal to fans and sometimes players on the court.

[kevineiford]

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Lew Alcinder perhaps? Probably before our time, but I'd imagine that he was pretty hated if they created a ban on dunking just to spite him.

[moolol]

graysons lasted long in the league because hes actually really good at the sport

[DonkeySlayer]

Alternate title: Christian Laettner and some other players you may have heard of

[maxwellius]

You gonna make it big bro keep grinding

Interesting how 3 played for coach K lol
