Who is your least favorite tarheel of all time

I find it very hard to dislike Hanspecker because he was just such a tough player and just played with such intensity. Yes he had traveling down to a science and hardly ever got called but the main reason everyone hated him was because he had our number.

I don't even have to think about this one... hanstravel.

Danny Green, John Henson, Harrison Barnes and Rasheed Wallace would probably round out my top five of least favorite guys to play there.

Beg to differ. Lots of players have played great against Duke through the years. Brad Daugherty. Phil Ford. James Worthy. Sam Perkins. Ty Lawson. Felton. etc.

The reasons I disliked Hans (though he was #2 on my list) - and I suspect it's true for many - were not b/c he was that much better than those guys. It was due to 1) his whiny, crying face on the court; and 2) his constant traveling that he got away with.
 
I always liked Vince, Jameson, and Ellington. None of their players besides Bryce bug me that much now.

They don't have nearly the a$$HOLES they used to have. I like Paige. He seems like a nice kid.

It's easier to like opposing players if they aren't too demonstrative and aren't big stars. ;) Which is most of UNC's team right now. A number of quite good players but no huge stars and really only Brice is the kind of pouter that makes you want to smack him (even if you are a UNC fan). Brice seems to be growing out of it, bit by bit.

Guys like Paige and Jackson are just quietly competent. Berry looks like he'll be another when he hits full stride this season. Guys like Meeks and Britt always have ready smiles, so it's hard to dislike them.

I don't know why I keep thinking you are a Tar Heel fan. OFC

You're kidding right? There is no one that has played or is playing or ever will play for the cheaters that I will not dislike. Not no way not no how.

Marshall makes my short list. For some reason , I expect a bit more from players/coaches than I do from fans. K-Butta's petulant whining proves that "carolina fever" taints anyone exposed. Misspelling "Duke" too? What a tool...

Matt Doherty...but only after he became their coach. And yes, I wish he was STILL their coach!

His my favorite UNC coach. I wish he was still there. You talking about some good material to poke fun at. OFC
 
Henson???


Oh yeah. Easy to dislike 'im. Hey , regardless of how ya feel about paying collegiate athletes , Henson proved that it's not just unx fans with a dearth of self-awareness. Ex-players suffer from the same malady. When your alma mater is under investigation after being outted as the dirtiest program in collegiate history , you're probably NOT the best person to carry the banner for NCAA reform. Being a unx student/athlete , the irony/hypocrisy/arrogance of such a foolhardy endeavor sailed right over Henson's empty skull....

PHOTO: John Henson's 'SCAM' shirt takes a shot at the NCAA

That's John Henson, currently of the Milwaukee Bucks and formerly of the UNC Tar Heels. With the NCAA currently taking its time in figuring out the eligibility cases of P.J. Hairston and Leslie McDonald, Henson opted to upload this photo of himself to Instagram Thursday morning.

Kind of a clever shirt, taking a dig at the NCAA there. The picture's already gone viral. I'm sure Heels fans love the message Henson's sending, and no doubt Hairston and McDonald appreciate the non-verbal sign of support.

(Can you imagine if an active college basketball player ever wore such a thing?)

The interesting connection here is this: Hairston is being investigated over the matter of rental cars. Twice this offseason he was pulled over by police while driving rental cars connected to an ex-convict named Haydn "Fats" Thomas. According to a story in the Raleigh News & Observer from this past July, Thomas previously sent out a photo tweet of ... Henson. That tweet was long ago deleted, but based on the reporting, it would appear Henson and Hairston were in some way -- even if minute -- previously around Thomas.

Thomas has denied "knowing" any UNC players. The players remain twisting in the wind, and UNC still has no idea when any word is coming from NCAA HQ in Indianapolis.

Jordan. My last name is Jordan and I was not a Duke fan when he played. Had just moved to Durham from DC and was a hoya. That being said I hate Carolina basketball and most of their fans, but that doesn't always carry over to the NBA. I likeLawson and Green in the league, the rest of them...whatever
