enthusiastic sports fans we sometimes get carried away when rooting for players or teams for that matter. When it comes to some star athletes it is clear that some fans simply want to see them fail.

When he left his hometown Cavaliers back in the off-season of 2010, James instantly became the most hated man in sports. The…
