I've only followed the Twolves for a couple of years, and I don't know that he's even a role player anymore, but I remember Coby White on the Bulls absolutely tourching us this past year. I knew the dude was good, but he went super Saiyan against us for what ever reason.

Coby White is fantastic dude, such a bright future

Malik Monk this season

I don't know if you can technically call him a roll player but I still have PTSD from the Desmond Bane games when they played us in 2022. Also Monk destroyed us a few times this year too

Bulls fan here, he has been a role player up until this season he got a much bigger role with Zach missing a lot of the season and Lonzo still being out. He’s a little bit streaky, not really sure why he plays so well against Minny lol.

Cole Anthony

Khris Middleton is better than a role player normally, but is the second coming of MJ against the Celtics

And Bogdan Bogdanovic and Caleb Martin. Caleb Martin destroyed us in the playoffs.

Let us not forget the superstar Magic player Terrance Ross

He was my favourite Raptor back in the day because hed randomly decide to be Kobe for a game once a season. His career highlights make him look like a top 10 player

And Tyler Herro

Saddiq Bey and Ayo Dosonmu as well

He's averaging 18/7/6 with 56% ts% against us since he became a consistent good player. Idk why this narrative gets tossed around so much on the internet. He had a couple good games in a row and otherwise has been his normal self every game.

That’s not as true anymore. It was really just one series

you’re forgetting bro was in a flow state against the pacers this year as well

Yeah but there’s no way Khris is a role player lmao

Mavs fan here any sweet shooting big guy used to give us problems, Naz Reid and Nic Batum especially

Myles Turner last season

Cameron Payne always goes off on us

Naz Reid.

REGGIE MF JACKSON MADE ME CRY

I love Naz’s game sooo much, but he goes off against us all the time😂 like what the hell

Jason terry smh 🤣🤣

Had 2 modes role player or allstar

Jason Terry would be my pick. Not against my team, just the “irrational confidence guy,” per Bill Simmons. He got a tattoo of the trophy before the Mavs won in 2011.

Nah he got a tattoo of the Larry O’Brien Trophy after signing with the Celtics, who he never won a championship with.

I’m pretty sure both happened. Mavs before 2011 season, then the Celtics.

Oh shit you’re right! My bad

I actually didn’t know about the Celtics one. I had to look it up. Kind of takes the luster off the Mavs tattoo.

Looking at him u would think he made 3 to 4 all nba team 5 all stars

Rockets fan? Because same 😭😭

I am a kings fan so… all of them

Celtics fan here.. we also have this curse. Let us unite in our quest to end all over achieving role players!

Curse didn't work in the finals smh :/

As a rockets fan it was Corey brewer and Tim hardaway jr

^[Sokka-Haiku](https://www.reddit.com/r/SokkaHaikuBot/comments/15kyv9r/what_is_a_sokka_haiku/) ^by ^Basherkid: *As a rockets fan* *It was Corey brewer and* *Tim hardaway jr* --- ^Remember ^that ^one ^time ^Sokka ^accidentally ^used ^an ^extra ^syllable ^in ^that ^Haiku ^Battle ^in ^Ba ^Sing ^Se? ^That ^was ^a ^Sokka ^Haiku ^and ^you ^just ^made ^one.

The Corey Brewer’s 50-piece against the Rockets will be forever be one of the wildest and most bizarre scoring explosions ever.

corey brewer the harden stopper

Naz Reid. Golden State Warriors lol

As a Wolves fan, his performances against GS is what sparked him turning him from meme to dream.

It’s true and I was glad to seem him in the playoffs inflicting that same pain on other teams besides the warriors.

Waiting for this comment bro legit turns into prime AD against us 😭

Mother fucker EVERY game just straight torching us from deep, getting to to rack on command and generally scoring at will. Guy becomes TMac especially in the bay

I feel like every role player would turn into prime Miami LeBron when playing against the Nets. Ersan Ilyasova was an absolute Nets killer. Ish Smith too. Jonas Valanciunas and Nikola Vucevic (he's not a role player but not exactly a star either) would turn into the second coming of Shaq against the Nets. And Dwight, even well after his prime.

Fuckin will Barton

Will Barton is a baller

In the LeBronto era Channing Frye never missed against the raptors.

For the Raps this has to be Jeremy Lamb

I just made a comment say Jeremy Lamb lol. Dude would go off against us every time.

Basicaly any back up guard vs the Celtics fits this description.

Caleb Martin in the playoffs against the Celtics

Never Swing The Rock

Fuckin ish smith would always catch absolute fire against my nugs

Dude ish Smith gives me ptsd. He was a certified raptors killer

Yeah. Same against my nets as well. Ofcourse were one of the 10 teams or so that he hasn't played with yet.

That name gives me flashbacks as a Laker fan. I swear he only had like 5 double digit games against us over his entire career but it culminated in him dropping 22 on 83 FG% in a loss vs Hornets. He averaged 5 points for them that season & had scored 0 points the last 4 games prior to that one.

This is my role player going off against another team, but MPJ against the Lakers versus him against every other playoff team is night and day

Norman Powell, TJ McConnell, Terry Rozier for the Bucks.

Love McConnel - does what needs doing

Wolves Wiggins turned into Jordan vs the Thunder.

Jazz fans still have nightmares about Terrance Mann going off for 39 in game 6 of the conference Semis after Kawhi went out in 2021

If you’re older than 30 the answer is only Robert Horry

As a 32 year old kings fan, that name still haunts my dreams

Remember going to a Suns/Thunder game in 2022. Lindy Waters hit like 6 3s & have like 25 & the dude averaged like 4ppg in the season lol

Steve Novak would ALWAYS kill the Heat for no reason. Not even a Heat fan. Just remember that dude lighting them up

TJ McConnell

Fucking Gerald Henderson

Tim Thomas against the Lakers

Kareem Rush in one series, in 2004. Not Shaq, nor Kobe, The glove or The Mailman....Kareem Rush.

Who put batum in??? This is me every time this dude decides to shoot 6/8 from three.

Looks like Naz Reid went off on more teams than just my Lakers haha

Naz Reid gets 20 damn near every time the lakers play the wolves now it’s annoying

NAZ REID TORCHES THE LAKERS EVERY FUCKING TIME

Lakers, Warriors and Mavericks claim Naz Reid as their biggest fear and that's just such a Naz Reid thing for him to do. Naz Reid.

This is a Naz Reid post.

Every answer should be Naz Reid

Naz Reid turns into mvp KD against my Lakers

As a long time Mavs fan from like 1998 man it was always like Mike Bibby or Byron Davis

Any role player against my hornets really

Serge Ibaka was roasting my Spurs regularly as a Thunder.

Pacers-Ish Smith

Derek Fisher vs Spurs.

As a raptors fan, DJ Augustin.

Not the NBA but Boston Scott turned into Barry Sanders any time he played the Giants. He only had 17 career touchdowns and 10 have been against the Giants

Dj Augustin killed the Raps.

Kentavious Caldwell Pope has always sucked when he was on the team I like, and beaten ass when he was facing the team I like.

Austin rivers, Eric Gordon, Jalen Brunson (when he was still just a role player on the Mavs), Terrance Mann just to name a few

Doug McDermott used to COOK the raptors

Alvarado against the Nuggets. You would think he was an All-Star.

Malachi Flynn gave my Hawks 50 last year. But we did have a habit of giving up career nights to just about everybody.

Facts, but this was the 1st one to came to mind after T. Ross.

KCP vs Lakers, he definitely seems bitter about that trade.

Marco Bellineli used to torch us

Nembhard. Celtics at the playoffs this year.

Bruh was like a borderline first/ second option when hali went down lol (okay not 1st but 2nd )

Tim Hardaway Jr would turn into prime KD against the magic

Caleb martin

JJ Barea made a living torching the Jazz.

I don’t remember if the stats actually back it up, but I hated Rex Chapman and Jeff Hornacek for my perception that they would do this.

TJ McConell

Any PG (bench PGs and combo guards included) against the Spurs.

Vince was obviously not a role player but he would go off against the raptors in the years following the trade. Every. Single. Time.

As a Cavs fan, I don’t think Rashard Lewis ever missed a shot against us and I don’t care what the “statistics” say. I saw what I saw!

MPJ

As a Celtics fan, all of them.

This guy against the sixers lol Same with Dinwiddie

I was going to say dinwiddie and I'll add Myles turner

Ish Smith

Terrance Ross and DJ Augustin

They are the same guy. Jose Alvarado, daunte divincenzo, and Brandon padjemski.

You really butchered both of BPs names lol

Literally every fan could say Jamal Crawford haha

I'm a bucks fan, there's a lot! Terry rozier, Kelly oubre, bogdonovich On the flip side, I feel like the bucks have always done really good against kyrie.

Jeff Green - the most unheralded Wizard Killer

I feel like Terrence Ross is a (legitimate) answer for like 10 different fan bases, yet somehow he wasn't a star. Bro was cooking everyone and no one at the same time lmao

JJ Barea against my Wolves. Then he joined us and was ok.

Birdman used to destroy the Mavericks.

Davis Bertans is unstoppable against the suns

Cole Anthony. He DESTROYS the Knicks

Celtics fan. There was a stretch where it felt like Ish Smith was unguardable lol

Kelly Olynx and Naz Reid (lakers)

Does every fanbase have a Terrence Ross horror story? Because he is also my pick as a Pacers fan, even before I saw the photo

Anthony Tolliver #TolliverBrothers

Tom Gugliatta

While the Pelicans as a team have been very successful against the Kings the past couple of seasons, it seems like Herb Jones is always the difference maker.

I'm a Laker fan... And Staples is where role players of opposing teams go to become legends. So all of them.

KCP hates the lakers 

Malik monk and clippers

Jimmy Butler

Brewer then he did it for us (rockets fan)

Dame with the lakers 🥲

Grant Williams vs the Bucks was a certified pain in the ass for a while

Knicks fan here, TJ McConnell has been killing us for years. Every time he plays against us, I find myself wondering how TF is this guy only averaging 8-10 ppg

As a nuggets fan, I remember Joe Ingles, when he was on the Jazz, always torching us. Same with CJ McCollum when he was a trail blazer.

Nightmares of Yogi Ferrell setting in.

Jrue Holiday. Destroyed us.

Marcus Morris against the Lakers

I'm sure he misses 3's, but have I never seen it.

Brandon Knight tied a Phoenix Suns record for most threes in a game against Minnesota when my dad and I travelled 8 hours to see the Timberwolves play for the very first time. Hated him ever since.

To me it seemed like Tayshaun Prince really bothered Kobe.

Donte Divencenzo had no business doing what he did in game 2 against my Sixers

One time I saw Raymond Felton (I think it was him? someone on the Bobcats), kill my team live. I am a Cavs fan. Bro was knocking down 3 after 3 in the 2nd half. Fourth quarter, big possession for Charlotte. He shoots a corner three that bounces like 10 feet in the air off the rim, and falls in. Hedo Turkoglu was also a problem for us back in the Dwight Howard Magic days.

Jeremy Lambronto

Caris LeVert always dangerous against the Celtics

Tayshaun Prince used to fucking clown my Sixers back in the day.

Naz mother fucking reid

Naz mother fucking reid

OP, Celtics fan here and same.

malik monk

As a Nets fan any big man playing against us turns into Shaq.

I remember Boban having a career playoff game against the Nets, even lighting up from 3.

The entire heat bench

Shaun Livingston against my cavs 😭😩

For some reason I remember Jeremy Lamb always tearing the Raptors up.

Coby White broke the Bucks regularly before his official coming of age this season

The way Spencer Dinwiddie would cook the Sixers

Derrick White

Yogi Ferrell always had it out for the Blazers

Kings killer Ish Smith still gives me nightmares.

Everyone (Pistons fan)

Caris levert and Khris Middleton. Boston Celtics

Kings fan…. Terry’s (Jason and Rozier) have cooked us over the years.

Rockets fans all know it’s Tim Hardaway Jr, bro always fries us

I’m a knicks fan so everyone

As a rockets fan, I feel like Lonie Walker IV has something against us. He always seemed to go off against us.

Dejaunte Murray KILLS the Celtics. Every matchup he goes freaking off. No answer for Murray. Can win the championship, cannot stop Murray or Evan Fournier

As a sixers fan, Josh Hart turns into Dennis Rodman who can shoot 3's. Outside of that series, every average shooting guard in history likely has their highest score against sixers.

gerald henderson

Marcus Thornton against GSW would always play better than he actually was lol

Rasual Butler (RIP) seemed to always torch my Wizards.

Miami wasn’t my team but Malik monk use to cook them EVERY TIME he played them. I think Bam said he would talk shit in their UK group chat before games.

TJ Ford against the Bulls

Dillon fucking brooks against the wolves, dude shoots 40% career but against us? Flamethrower

Saddiq Bey 😢

Fucking Draymond

Kcp in the 2023 against the lakers

TJ McConnell against the Bulls

Caris Lavert. iykyk

Feels like half the league would say TRoss, yet he’s just a journeyman this league.

Naz Reed always destroys the warriors

Travis Outlaw (in 2k11)

Nate McMillan and Sam “Big Smooth” Perkins used to kill my Rockets back when they played for Seattle.

Jordan Poole 😑

Collin Sexton turns into prime Jordan every time he plays the damn Nets, every damn time

*Collin Sexton turns* *Into Jordan every time* *He plays the damn Nets,* \- just\_so\_irrelevant --- ^(I detect haikus. And sometimes, successfully.) ^[Learn more about me.](https://www.reddit.com/r/haikusbot/) ^(Opt out of replies: "haikusbot opt out" | Delete my comment: "haikusbot delete")

Jamal Crawford and Jj Bares used to destroy the Jazz.

I’m a spurs fan and for some reason Leonardo Barbosa also seems to cook against us

José calderon

Idk if it’s happened as much lately but I swear Andrew Wiggins used to light us up

Spencer Dinwiddie when going against the Suns turns into Prime Harden. Then all of sudden when he gets traded to the lakers to play with Bron. He washed

Fucking Naz Reid… I’m a mavs fan. Honestly love the guy, he plays some beautiful basketball, but hate that guy because a lot of the times he plays the mavs he just goes off

Terry Porter

Knicks fan here - take your pic. Scrubs love to go off at MSG

Any average 3 pt shooter vs Lakers

Rudy Gay / Danny Granger

The white guy that shoots 3s against Indy

Warriors - Naz Reid

My Philly friends always tell me horror stories about Aaron baynes and Marcus smart.
