Player you secretly enjoy, from a team you "hate"?

[Nameless Ghoul]

Something different, but I am curious who is one sports related player that you enjoy(ed) watching...but they played for a team you "hated"? For me it's Klay Thompson....I love his game, but can't associate myself with anything Golden State Warriors. #CavalierFan

Mookie Betts (Red Sox; I don't care about the Dodgers)

Though I would go as far as to say that his era with the Red Sox has lessened my hate for the team in general especially with blowhards like Ortiz and Varitek gone. It can be hard to paint a team with him, Bogaerts, Benintendi etc. as jerks to actively root against.

I have a love-hate relationship with Atletico Madrid: I hate them but I respect the crap out of a bunch of them, from Simeone to Costa to Godin, etc.

Ed Reed was gonna be my pick, what a joy to watch him and Polamalu in the same division.

De Bruyne is a total boss

Hate the Braves(because of chipper jones). But Freddie Freeman is a beast.

Also, fuck the Cubs(especially kris bryant). @TeTe

De Bruyne is a total boss

He's on loan atm but Odriozola was so fucking good at Sociedad man, I was pure salt when Madrid signed him.

There was a game at the Anoeta where Barca had to stop man-marking a striker and make sure that they covered Odriozola when he went forward.
