What do you really think?
 
I agree with a lot of what people wrote here. I'd also like to add more support for Tom Brady. He shares a lot of what made Laettner a great villain.

Tom Brady was a villain to opponents, but not to his teammates. Christian Laettner's teammates hated him (see: Bobby Hurley)

Depends how you look at it, for me Tom Brady is the greatest villain of all time.... But if were talking goons, artest is a guy who pops out, the Tchauck (yea i know that isnt how you spell it) guy on Florida is pretty villainous too

Why? Because he won a lot?

Ty Cobb was truly a trash human being.

Ty Cobb sounds like he was a good principled man who loved to compete and loved to fight. He was a wild man but not at all the trash human being he was made out to be. Al Stump sure sounds like he was a trash human being.
 
Villan as in opponent you didn't like or Villan as evil human being who played sports?

1. Luis Suarez
2. OJ or Aaron Hernandez (tie)

Putting Laettner on the 92 Dream Team squad definitely riled his haters up to another level.

The Laettner hatred was pretty gross. It's fine to root against college players but the hatred that kid got in college was over the top and much of it wasn't rooted in any sort of reality. You're right he got ripped apart for being on the Dream Team too when the reality is there was a requirement/agreement at the time to have one college player on the team as it was their first year with a team full of NBA players. Laettner was clearly the most deserving after winning every college player of the year award possible and going back to back.

I gotta say Bob Diaco, he had me fired up for UConn football before he coached a game and then he enraged me with his calls like the fake fg on a gw drive and the stupid fakes never stopped, so for that he's pure evil.

I let him off the hook when he gave an interview a few years later and said (or words to the effect of) "UConn gave me everything I needed, our record was on me."

Yeah, he just was not ready. It was an awful hire and it was readily appearant as soon as his teams took the field. .......and his recruiting was off the charts bad.....big, tall, very slow basketball teams......

I’d say Shaq was more deserving, but Laettner’s playing style was closer to what the Dream Team guys would be playing against. So for Laettner to practice against them to prepare them probably made sense.

Greatness and villainess are two different things. People hate Brady because all he did was win. By that logic, Jordan should be hated too.
 
Have to admit the Laettner 30 for 30 did humanize him a little. Reality is that he was an amazing college player who was envied and was a fierce competitor. Still a classic villain, though. And worst of all, he loved and thrived on it.

Laimbeer and Bonds were definitely villains, as both played the part and were completely apathetic about it.

I have a tough time with ARod as a villain, though. Incredible player who was soft as toilet paper. His fragile narcissism made him an easy target, and he usually crumbled under pressure (save 09) because he was too brittle to think people didn't love him.

Tyson definitely qualified for a while. OJ pretty much became and embraced his boss-status villainy. Draymond?

I guess it's in your definition of a villain. I think a villain is someone who has a sense of self-awareness that they are a jerk. But they love it and use it to their advantage, which just initiates the avalanche. ARod doesn't fit there, for me. Neither does Grayson Allen, who I've heard is actually a really nice guy. Just a brat.

Even as a Red Sox fan, I’d agree that I don’t think ARod truly belongs in the villain category.
