KD is not a villain, he just lost the respect of a lot of fans when he went to GS.

Lebron has to be number 1, he’s probably the most hated athlete in any sport ever, and he’s never had an off-court scandal. Too many narratives, LBJ number then maybe KD.

I’m not sure Perk knows what a villain is. I’d say Dillon Brooks & Draymond Green. I might also go with Jaylen Brown.

Why is Miami LeBron consider a villain; because he signed with a new team after what KG, Ray Allen and the Boston Celtics pulled? Well, they did it, because of how good young LeBron was: Carrying the Cleveland Cavaliers with NO DUO to the NBA Finals in less than 5 years of his career; and they deserved it. That’s called payback! After the Celtics superteam disappeared, LeBron finally left so he could go back to what he wanted to do the first time he was in Cleveland: Bring a championship to his beloved home team
@RobertSmith-cb8py

Of course a former center of the Boston Celtics superteam would put Miami aka “Villain” LeBron up there
