But Harden doesn't get a pass. I mean yeah NBA superstars get a pass except for about 2-3 but with Curry it's completely different. He almost never gets criticized by anyone.

This is his first deep run and he just had his "breakout" year.

I agree that people think he's fun and likable (I tend to agree), but I really don't think it is a free pass yet. I just think he's new and fun.

Further, I think people have the one that isn't getting a pass already in mind (LeBron), so they want to enjoy Curry.

If he weren't 2-3 in the finals, and didn't lose out to Rose, Durant, Curry and Harden for the MVP, I'd be inclined to agree with you.

I've never in my life said the guy isn't insanely good. Never even said he's not the best player in the league. Though, given his age I'd start looking to build around someone like Anthony Davis instead given the option but that's besides the point.

I'm just not a fan of Lebron and his cult following. It is what it is. I originally bought his jersey immediately after he was drafted, I even wore a green notre dame hat that had a gold clover leaf(didn't say notre dame anywhere on the hat) because Lebron played for the Irish in high school while wearing green and gold. It's funny because I was Lebron fan before some people today we. I just happened to change my mind. I didn't care when he was playing on a rival team within the Pacers division, I liked him coming out of high school as I'm the same age as he is.

Haha wow, really? If it weren't for people getting bored voting for him, he'd have 7-8 MVPs by now. Get real dude.

Oh you mean like Lebron's first deep run at 22 years old? Yeah, he didn't get any criticism for that Spurs series.. Again, double standard.

"I pull against LeBron because he's the best player and basketball fans think he is the best player and sometimes they say it."

James Harden plays a repulsive, foul-drawing-based brand of basketball which everyone alive hates to watch, and he still gets more of a pass than LeBron James. James is the only player of my lifetime who can make the winning play by passing to an open shooter and still get ripped for two straight days for it.

Yeah, that's what I said.

He doesn't win the MVP because he wins it too much apparently.

Okay, I'm inclined to agree with that because a Lebron fan said so. He didn't say Lebron was the best. That wasn't even close to what he said. What were you reading?

I would lean KD, but he still gets a decent amount of criticism for not being aggressive enough and before his D.

Curry (by not only the media but fans too) gets a bigger pass. I don't know if it's because he's nice or because he's not supposed to be here or what but it's funny how everyone *****es about Harden's defense when Steph is worse.

To be fair KD has always had two "shields" in Russ and Brooks.

I only really bring up Hardens D because someone insists on telling me its good, when it isn't.







Come on that's a huge softball for someone

Speaking of... LeBron probably has the best basketball IQ in the league.

Okay, TOP... In a brief/succint post, explain how my post is idiotic and why you actually hate Bron.

His following. They defend him to no end and if you disagree, you're the enemy.

Lying to the Cavs.

The Decision.

Pacers played them 3 years in a row in the playoffs.

I already hated the Heat back when it was Shaq and Wade.




Anyways, why do you care if I don't like him? Lebron fans are worse than Christians. Just because other people want to believe in Lebron as the 2nd coming of Christ, doesn't mean I'm inclined to. I'm also not inclined to be a Christian just because some Jesus person thinks it's wrong.

Hope you've got your reading glasses on and about an hour of time on your hands.

Meant to say two not to. Well (if healthy) the team they will have next year, is the best and deepest team he will have ever had. Time to put up or stfu. I'm tired of the excuses for the guy.
