2017 NBA Playoffs Thread - CLE @ BOS Game 5 on TNT

[Clyde Frog]

I dont hate Curry or the Warriors but Curry started some corny tendencies.

 

[hardens beard]

Y'all don't wanna talk about the "other" part of why dudes really hate Curry .

Again, that's the more interesting an honest convo.

I hate the arrogance and front running mentality he has.

 

[ballinsam23]

I used to love Curry during that first run they had. Then dude decided to chuck more contested and 30 foot 3s than ever. Cant blame him though since there's a good chance those bad shots are going in.

jealousy and because he looks scrawny. Same reason LeBron and Westbrook have so much disdain towards Curry. They jealous of how much love Curry gets. LeBron the best player in the world, jealous of Curry. That shouldn't be.

I love Curry, favorite player in the L and it's not close.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Magic Harden has pop out here befuddled and he can't be a consensus top 5 player on NT

 

[addict4sneakers]

Curry was a unheralded recruit out of Davidson and is now an all time great player in NBA history.

Forget being humble

a true underdog. I root for the "little" guy.

 

[Trey Bantz]

Still can't believe the WB slander in here. Guess everyone has their opinions

NTers have moved on from Kobe and LeBron to devote their undivided attention and hate to Russell Westbrook.

EXACTLY.

 

[Clyde Frog]

LeBron the best player in the world, jealous of Curry. That shouldn't be.

Why on earth would LeBron be jealous about Curry lol

 

[ballinsam23]

Most of these other superstars may be jealous of Curry because it seems as if he literally came from zero struggle. Dude skipped a bunch of steps and damn near became a champion and MVP overnight.

Meanwhile, stars like Lebron kept getting eliminated for years while building themselves up before finally winning one.

Curry gets hate for
playing flashy?
Talking arrogant ?
His team being really really good?
His skin tone?
Him growing up wealthy ?
What else ?

 

[kdslittlebro]

Little guy?

 

[rolaholic]

I don't think they're jealous because he's scrawny

They might get jealous at his positive treatment and portrayal in the media,not his physique

 

[CP1708]

Steph
Bron
KD
AD
Russ

Harden
Kawhi
Giannis
Wall
Klay
Kyrie

It's been reported LeBron has been slightly jealous of Curry and his rapid rise to being the face of the league.

Lets not act like its a shock.

Even then there's no way LeBron is jealous when he's a bajillion dollar brand

 

[Trey Bantz]

Much like Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr., James Harden and Kawhi Leonard are just products of great systems.

Russell is undoubtedly a better basketball player than both.

Lot of people hate cause he don't look the part of the typical best players in the NBA.

Jealous cause of how much he is loved. Pretty much the Nba golden boy. Has no where near the amount of haters as LeBron.

 

[wavycrocket]

Go on.... 

Go on.... 

Discussion from a few weeks ago....

Eh....he had some points. Y'all don't wanna talk about the "other reasons" y'all ***** be fronting on Steph.....and think he's "babied" though .

The perception of him being privileged, babied, "light skin privilege", perception of being "soft", a goodie two shoes, the media holding him and his family up as a standard, the perception of steph not being a real ***** etc"



That's the more honest and interesting convo. But it may not be for the message board .

Nah. It was on Bomani's radio show.





Also, found this excerpt from this article about Steph last week interesting and funny.

If you grew up playing "city ball"......you already know how it was when dudes like the Currys come to the court. The initial perception is them dudes are "soft", "privileged", "jump shooters" from the burbs.....so you press them and try to intimidate them.

You get mad when they don't fold.....and bust your *** . Especially if they style on you a lil bit. There's a feeling of resentment. Like damn, these ***** got everything....and I can't stop em on my court...on my terms. That frustration is real.

Yea I don't know if jealous is the right word . Maybe resentment

exactly. LeBron jealous. It's obvious . money has nothing to do with it.

 

[ballinsam23]

Russ may be the most talented basketball player in the world. I still don't want him anywhere near my team. Certain players you just wont win with and he's one of them.

 

[NickFolarin]

 

I agree. The Jalen Rose effect.
