I mean... Compared to Kobe or MJ stans for sure

Most Bron fans got no issues with labeling MJ above him, but don't get it twisted if you're not holding other players to the same standard then they gotta call people out.

It's just refreshing seeing someone who wins and thanks his Father and Mother as his parents. He's not the typical athlete we see. That's dope to know he's leading the way and basketball off the court is a changing of the guard. His Dad showed him the ropes. Glad to see all his kids doing well.

Steph comes from parents with money. He's not a street dude. (He gets the Grant Hill type hate.)
He's light skinned so people give him the soft stereotype.
His game is not based on slashing/dunking/physically overpowering people (in the traditional way).
He gives the right answers to the media to the point of sometimes coming across corny or fake (see Alex Rodriguez).
His game is the final level evolution of the "white guy who shoots threes" stereotype.
He plays in LeBron's era and is his best legit rival.
He benefited from KD playing with him to having easy championships that were not super competitive.
His wife puts too much business out on media platforms (see Jada Pinkett).
He is not afraid to speak on his faith (see Tim Tebow).

These are not reasons I personally hate Steph (I don't), but this is what I see coming from a lot of people.

The idea that steph is hated is pure fantasy what we are going to do is to hold him to account if his stans want to make up facts to have him top 10 all time which he is not. No other superstar can choke a 3-1 lead while having the best regular season team in history and still skate relatively scott free. He has never been the best player on a championship winning team, stating these are just facts as much as his stans want to ignore it

Like Jordan and Kobe stans aren't more obsessed with Bron :heh:

More I don't know, but this thread is about Curry. Also pretty sure Bron is (unfairly) hated by waaaaaaay more people than just some Kobe and MJ stans. Whereas for Curry I don't think people outside Bron and KD stanbases really hate him like that. Could be wrong though.

Most of the hate is online, because NBA online discussion and to a large extent in the media has deteriorated "stanning" for one player by building up their accomplishments and minimizing accomplishments of anyone else

Sports media in all sports become about picking a narrative and doubling down on it for as long as possible even if it's obviously wrong

A lot of it comes back to the Warriors unexpected14-15 season fukking up the media's chosen narrative. LeBron "coming home" and stacking 3 or 4 rings in Cleveland. Everyone forgets Cleveland was the betting favorites heading into that year and GS was only #8 far as odds to win it all

The media was only fully on GS jock during 15-16 season, but celebrated their downfall like none other. And since then GS has been treated with either grudging respect at best. Especially in the KD years. And that sets off fans on both sides of the debate. Warriors have a lot of obnoxious bandwagoners online, no different than any franchise winning multiple championships, but a lot of longtime fans are annoyed by the dismissive attitude, like this franchise been a punching bag for many years and can't get the love that other "Teams of the Decade" always got. And still maintain that if what GS did 2014-2019 had been accomplished by the Lakers or Celtics it would've been a full blown media lovefest

Curry as the face of the franchise gets most the backlash, as expected
