If Stephanie wasn't light skinned I'd be a fan. That's why Draymond gets so much love despite the dumb ish he says and does. Another reason Lebby wont reach goat- mamba status, not dark enough ![Laugh :lol: :lol:](/styles/default/xenforo/NTemojis/laugh.gif)

imaginary rings > steph's first 7 seasons.
To expound just a bit. Why do you think the 'masses' or middle America were so quick to embrace and try to put Steph on a pedestal? He's 'safe' to them which is an entirely different discussion, but I personally think colorism amongst ourselves does unecessary damage.

"The politics of shade have shadowed black folk from the time we set foot in North America. Curry’s fame has upped the ante: Suspicion surrounds him because of his light skin, and because he’s been lauded by both the NBA and media establishments. The subliminal message has become explicit: Curry is a brother we may not be able to embrace because the powers that be embrace him too. Curry is not the first black man who makes some black folk uneasy because America loves him as much as we do, but he may be the most popular contemporary figure evoking that dilemma. And Curry’s color is at the heart of that dilemma."
It's 2017, and we still are dismissive of colorism
This.Is colorism the main reason, Steph garners hate probably not, but to say it has NOTHING to do with it at all is just being naive.
yes because that tells the entire storyimaginary rings > steph's first 7 seasons.
That's wild to me. Raised in NYC I played ball with everyone. Some of the baddest dudes I played against was white. Small minds in some people I guess
But you told me to stop quoting you though, when I made rebuttles?yes because that tells the entire storyimaginary rings > steph's first 7 seasons.
some of y'all dudes man![]()
then mamba cosigning it when he didn't respond after I laid out the facts![]()
this.No it's a definitely a real thing. We just all don't think that's the reason people hate steph. Every modern superstar is hated once they reach that level. Let's not make it a different reason for him.

"You know who I hate? Jerry West. **** that chucking, front running SOB. Thinks he's so cool cuz he can shoot from far away. Not like he got more points from it anyways. Goddamn showoff. Logo my ***. He ain't even the best on his team." - Some ***** in some barbershop years ago

Wavy for PrezIt's ONE of the reasons though. I don't think we should discount it. I'm not saying it's the SOLE reason....but it's real.
Dudes aren't labeling Steph as "soft" out of the blue. A 6'3 unatheltic, frail guard pulls down close to 6 rebounds a game....finishes at the rim at an elite level...and torches defenders from every walk of life.
Yet there a perception that he's "just a jump shooter", "not an all around player", "soft", and couldn't last in previous eras are the main criticisms that that are thrown his way.
Hate comes with the territory of being great. Let's not be blind to some of realities that go into why Steph isn't liked by some.
It has as much to do with steph hate as hair plugs have to do with lebron hate. It's so insignificant and yall wanna play it up and fall right into the trap of dividing ourselves up. Stop
