think some of the reason people dislike him for being compared to Jordan is because Jordan beat one of the only good teams the Jazz ever had so claiming he's anything other than unstoppable here implies that those Jazz teams weren't that great.

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

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

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

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

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

Curry is infinitely more likable.

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

He is throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks

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

Really? Vast majority of them loved him

LakeshowCougs

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

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

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

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

I think LeBron became polarizing in terms of being liked after he announced he was "taking his talents to Miami.

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.

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

Steph Curry is more annoying than LeCap.

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

ochobeeguy

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

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.

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
