Best villain to love to hate: Kobe Bryant I hate him like I hated Darth Vader in 1977-1980. The Black Momba is just bad to the bone, asking "Who's your daddy?" while draining threes or blowing by you to stuff the net.

Best villain to hate: Tracy McGrady. I hate him like I hated Darth Vader in 2005. A whiny spoiled little boy sulking on the bench.

Best villain to love: Tom Brady. Ol' Captain America has those sweet locks and mad skillz on the gridiron. Besides, it takes a truly humble man to marry a woman who makes more money than him.

Other: Pete Rose. Come on, Bud! Let the man in the hall!
