10 Kansas basketball players the Jayhawks rivals loved to hate the most
3. Brady Morningstar (2006-2011)
Have you ever seen someone with a face that immediately annoys you? That is probably how rival fans felt about Brady Morningstar.
With his unsightly short arm sleeves and baggy shorts, Morningstar was visually unappealing to rivals more than anything. However, he also was very cocky and did the dirty work for Bill Self. Scrappy role players are often the ones who others hate the most.
When opposing fans spat out insults at Morningstar, he embraced it:
"“K-State … they are at halfcourt and Missouri behind the basket. They say some mean things. The meanest thing? It probably wouldn’t be appropriate to put on camera or radio. It’s all fun and games. To me the more stuff they say…the more fun it is.”"
Rival schools must have dreaded when he began to step into his lethal, quick-release jump shot. Perhaps they did not love to hate Morningstar — the hatred that Mizzou and K-State fans have toward him is stronger than others.
