4) Kevin Love
The Minnesota Timberwolves have produced two superstar forwards in the recent past, and both have moved away from the team after a few years. Kevin Garnett shouldered the franchise for 12 years before leaving for the Boston Celtics where he won a ring. He's still beloved in Minnesota, where he's made a comeback two years ago. Kevin Love, the second superstar forward to move from the Wolves, isn't so lucky.
A player can't be faulted for wanting to leave if he's saddled with a team which has no short-term prospects of winning. Doubly so if the organisation whiffs on paying you. Kevin Love wanted to be with the Timberwolves and sought a five-year deal. But they decided to hedge their bets and give him a four-year deal instead.
"I was willing to make a commitment for five years. They thought otherwise," Love said. Clearly, he was none too happy with how his situation was handled.
That being said if you really must burn a jersey, burn it the way these fans burn Kevin Love's jersey:
