athletes of all time. There have been many, many, many more highly dislikable athletes than Lebron, and I say this as someone who doesn't particularly like Lebron and has criticized him often through his career.

If you were going to make a list of the most dislikable elite athletes ever, I think you might start with a guy like Ty Cobb. I lived in the Detroit area for many years and am a Tigers fan, but the most famous Tiger of all was a real piece of work, operating at a whole other level of unlikability compared to Lebron. And there have been many more like him (although Ty may have been the most infamous one).
