     There’s a lot of wrestling fans on these forums. But for anyone who doesn’t know, in wrestling a Heel is a villain and a Face is a hero. I was kind of thinking, are their any established heels/faces in the NBA? 

    In my opinion I feel as if Dwight Howard and James Harden are mega-heels seems as if anyone over the age of 30 hates the two of them. I got in a huge argument with a group of teachers because they said they thought James Harden was selfish which in response I said I felt as if there were no difference between Kobe who we glorify and James Harden who we hate. But that’s another conversation for another day. But do you guys think theirs any players the majority of fans like heavily or hate heavily?

     The Clippers can be considered heels, well mostly to Mavs Fans, because of their flopping and the Deandre Jordan saga. I say the Miami Big Three are the biggest heels ever since Lebron made the decision to join D-Wade. I mean people always want to see this team lose. Obviously, Stephen Curry is a face.

     I think people hate Harden and call him selfish because Kobe actually played defense.

     Yea. I agree with that, I just think he takes plays off because he has to carry so much load offensively.

    Westbrook is about to have a super babyface turn, he’s like SCSA the badass who doesn’t respect authority that everyone loves

     Marcus Smart – Heel, hate that dude.

    Kobe – Heel but played his role to perfection he became a babyface not based on him changing but the fans respected

    Steph Curry – Ultimate babyface, I see they’re going with the injury storyline which the crowd will eat up

    I feel like we’re being set up for a Westbrook/Durant breakup and one of them is going to turn heel and become a heat magnet.

    Isiah Thomas – babyface, the NBA version of Rey Mysterio or Daniel Bryan

    Kobe has really only started to receive love the last couple of years, in his prime he was hands down the most hated player in the NBA. Especially during the rape allegations.

    I’ve been a Kobe fan all of my life and I’ve received nothing but hate for defending him most of his career from both friends & strangers. Ironically now he seems to be the golden boy that everyone loves since he’s retiring.

    Oh how quickly people forget.

    Same will most likely happen to LeBron, he’s widely hated by most fans; yet when his playing days start to come to an end, people will magically flip opinions just like they did with Kobe. Sheep.
