Why do so many people hate LeBron but love Steph?

Heavy is the head that wears the crown

Obnoxious vs not. Being compared to Jordan vs. not.

Steph is obnoxious. He throws his mouth piece when he doesn’t get the call he

So it is LeBron's fault that people compare him to Jordan?

Lifer

Apr 30, 1:33pm

I disagree with people who actually hate him, but he is pretty obnoxious. I

Those Jazz teams had two awesome players and a bunch of not so good players.

LakeshowCougs

I think he has made statements that he is the greatest...so...

If you watched the game last night you know

Watched it. Still don't know.

Then you’ll probably never get it

Why don't people hate one of the most likeable guys in sports? Hmm.....

Plato

Curry is infinitely more likable.

kimdaddy35

Apr 30, 1:30pm

True. He is more likable in general. I guess if you are "likable"

Lifer

Apr 30, 1:32pm

He is throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks

LakeshowCougs

Apr 30, 1:35pm

The politics thing is overblown on the dislike. It's the flopping, whining, etc.

How it is that somebody can watch Lebron flop and cry and still call him the

lebron doesnt like being part of a team? who knew

His teammates

kimdaddy35

Apr 30, 1:37pm

Really? Vast majority of them loved him

LakeshowCougs

Apr 30, 1:42pm

They may say that now but they're probably lying.

ManicBlue

Apr 30, 2:01pm

So a teammate who likes LeBron is lying? Ok . . . We can say anything we want

LakeshowCougs

Apr 30, 2:09pm

Let's wait until after lebron retires to read the books written afterwards, but you can go ahead and believe everything

heres the video of teammates talking about him from every year of his career

I can give multiple quotes and videos of those who didn't enjoy their time with

well your initial assertion was that Lebron didnt like being part of a team,then

CrashMcLarson

For one Curry isn't the HC and GM of his teams like LeBron is

I don’t like either

Preppy

It really bothered me but now it was a dumb choice 15 years ago that hurt nobody

vagabonder

Apr 30, 1:54pm

Sure...no one really cares that he made a change to get a ring...it's how he goes about it. Announcement, etc.

Preppy

Apr 30, 1:58pm

That definitely annoyed me and made me not like him. I actively cheered against

Steph Curry is more annoying than LeCap.

He was right. Ham should’ve challenged.

And?

cougfanblue

Apr 30, 4:46pm

Comparing LeBron's complaining to anyone else but Draymond = gross exaggeration

ochobeeguy

Apr 30, 2:14pm

Steph is not as vocal about stuff on and off the court as Lebron...

Another thing is flopping. Lebron flops at a high level whereas Steph isn’t

That’s why I don’t like Jokic either.

Another reason why people like Steph more...who doesn't like an underdog??

curry30

Apr 30, 4:07pm

I guess it depends on how you define “underdog”. By some definitions, Lebron is

Japan Coug

Apr 30, 4:36pm

He’s 39 years old and a billionaire. Time to move on from the underdog status.

BYU1982

Apr 30, 4:42pm

He's an underdog who has succeeded in life. Agreed.

Japan Coug

Apr 30, 4:45pm

Agreed, he was an underdog until 18 years old. And Giannis is a bigger underdog.

I'm talking about playing basketball.

Lebron won the genetic lottery. Some tough life situations, but an absolute genetic freak.

Most elite professional athletes have won the genetic lottery, but I agree that
