So Bron hates curry, and kawhi?

 

[Kaleo15]

true but bron accomplished way more in his first 7 years than curry.
I don't dislike Curry at all but it's pretty obvious to see why someone would, and it isn't cause he's lightskin.

What did Bron do that Burry didn't info his first 7 years?

This is year 8 for Steph. 1st 7 seasons 2x MVP (1st ever unanimous), scoring champ, title.

Bron 1st 7 seasons: 2x MVP, scoring champ. No title.

Breaking 3 points record and errrthanggg... it's because Steph is lightskin. I don't know why y'all denying it.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

I remember this.

Grown men hating on another grown man for doing well. "I'm happy for you as long as you ain't doing better than me."

extremely ironic coming from you
part of the reason you hate Bron is because he had a 100M bag from Nike straight out of HS
it's quiet for you

"There are some people who are frustrated Kawhi has gotten as much love as he has," Windhorst said. "It's not just LeBron, actually. There's other top players who feel the same way."


Not really what the article is about but the above quote caught my attention. Either the media lying or Bron petty asf.

Bron def hates Kawhi.

 

[rillo561]

How do ya figure LeBron hates​ kawhi?

 

[tyevvyotcu]

every good player in history is hated on but Steph is hated on because he's lightskin not because he's good?
see how ridiculous that sounds

Bron had almost 4k more points 2k more rebounds and 600 more assists = Steph missed majority of the 2011-12 season + no playoffs runs early
Steph won a ring that Bron didn't have but Steph wasn't FMVP = Steph still won
Bron taking the 07 Cavs to the Finals is also impressive too = Steph went to 2 Finals
Plus Steph has had better rosters = That Steph fault because?

That's not the sole reason. Don't be this disingenuous and reduce it to solely that. But it IS a factor. Not the fact that he's "light skin"....it's the fact that he's perceived as privileged, soft, babied....and the idea that he benefits from this NBA, and wouldn't be able to play in previous years.

Every player gets hate. It comes with the territory....but there is always an effort by Steph's contemporaries and players of the past to reduce or discredit what he's accomplished.

This gif never gets old

Kawhi is definitely elite player! The man that took down the Heat Dynasty and won Finals MVP with back 2 back DPOY.

bronnies boyz assemble!

Bron taking the 07 Cavs to the Finals is also impressive too

I would hope Bron would have better stats considering the bevy of injuries Steph sustained his first few years in the league. But even those statistical differences don't really mean much when looking at the accolades. Steph is ahead of where Bron was at the same juncture of his career, especially when he gets another chip this year. KD is more of an apt comparison.

Again, never said I hated Lebron. Society got you fooled if you think a teenager deserves 90 milly straight out of HS.

Hold tight to your hero though

Our fearless leader moonwalks on water and gives sight to the blind.

This.

Steph was basically out more than half his 3rd season.

And better roster? Excludes Steph's last 3 years. Who did he exactly play with?

 

[dland24]

every good player in history is hated on

Sorry, but this take is absurd.

Where are these large groups of people that hate Larry Bird?  Hakeem Olajuwon?  Tim Duncan?  Clyde Drexler?  Bill Russell?  I could keep going, but my point has been made.  To claim that every good player in history is hated on is absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Based Jesus]

Steph could win 7 chips, 5 mvps, finish with twice the amount of 3s anyone else has and shoot 50-40-90 for his career and ****** will still bring up that finals mvp going to iggy instead

Bron: 6x all star 2x all defensive 1st team 4x all nba first team 2x all nba second team rookie of the year
Steph: 3x all star 2x all nba second team 1x all nba second team

Steph hasn't accomplished more man. He has a ring and that's it.

and didn't you say the best ability was availability?

Isn't that why you play the game?

 

[Armada]

The only player truly worthy of universal hate is Paul Pierce I think we can all agree on that

 

[Clyde Frog]

Comparing LeBron and Curry to start their careers lolol

What were you watching. LeBron was a force in the league at 18 years old.

Clyde doesn't belong with this group.

Are you really comparing those times to a time where everyone has social media and an opinion, a time where people root for someone to lose just so they can share the first wave of memes?

I remember my dad telling me people HATED Bird with a passion

Clyde wasnt a good player?  Because that was the idiotic point he was trying to say.  "Every good player in history is hated on" which, obviously, is not true.
