GSW is hated by the basketball community, respected by the public, LeBron's Heat was the opposite

Who is the "basketball community", dumbass nikkas like Barkley? NBA writers love the Warriors.
Basketball community = players, teams, coaches, former players that are now analysts

Public = casual fans, sportswriters, trend-hoppers

Assuming from your avi that you are a bulls fan, you really out here stanning GSW and Curry? like "Wow, what a time to be alive"? :scust: Let me guess, thats your Western conference team? Or are you just a "fan of the game"?
Get entirely the fukk outta here with that sh!t, folks :camby:
This bullsh!t is the fan equivalent of the kids playing ball nowadays, everybody friends, nobody but :youngsabo: Boogie and a few others have that no new friends mentality. Fukk this, hope it ends, this year

I'm just going to assume you are 12 and KIM :huhldup:

How you gonna ROFL with a hollow back?
:usure:

But It wouldn't matter. People don't mind if good players grow from the same organization. They don't like it when players all "team up" to try and win.
I know. People seem to be getting ahead of themselves. Right now, GS and Curry are Ron De Rousey, Peyton Manning status, when they do fall, it will be fukking glorious and everybody gonna be throwing shots. Can't fukking wait.

Some of that is revisionist history. People definitely considered 2013 lucky. But overall just different dynamics. Heat 2010-2014 were true villains, getting booed in every arena. Golden State will probably only get booed when they go to Cleveland :lolbron:
Yep, they hated us. But as soon as LBJ curved Miami and went back to Cleveland, all was forgiven. Remember how happy everyone was when the Bulls ended our win streak?

I really don't understand. If these people are really in the "basketball community" then they would know that few teams have had as detrimental a combination of mismanagement and bad luck as the warriors from 2000 (really 1993) to this year. I'd say only Portland comes close. I watched this team suffer injury after injury, watched them constantly get high draft picks and waste them on goofy white dudes, constantly watched inept execution of inept coaching plans. I watched this team let Gilbert Arenas, one of the best draft picks they had before Curry, just go away. I watched this team trade away players just as the team started building chemistry. I watched this team suffer terrible losses, many due to biased officiating (shytty team discount).

So if you're really a basketball fan (and not a stan of a team or player), then you should be able to appreciate watching a team turn around, get a decent break of luck, get decent management, get decent coaching, and succeed. You should be able to appreciate a team not named the Spurs, Lakers, Heat, Celtics winning.

I don't even care about the incipient hatred towards my team. I'm just confused at how anybody can claim the warriors are "lucky". We've had amazingly shytty luck for two decades. Opposing players were injured? How's that new? Lakers might not have won in 2000 if Timmy wasn't injured. What player of Duncan's caliber was missing from Opposing teams? Mike Conley :JJ: ? Patrick Beverley :JJ: ?

As a real basketball fan, I've noticed a pattern. Any time a team breaks into the championship club for the first time, there's always a movement to belittle the accomplishment. We remember the infamous Spurs * that Phil mentioned. We remember the "refs" bullshyt that Heat fans still hear about from 2006. Now it's the Warriors turn I suppose. How dare a non-cannon team win a championship.
"We remember the "refs" bullshyt that Heat fans still hear about from 2006"

Yep. We still here that from time-to-time.

Bullsh!t. I fukking hate these fakkits, and I bet alot of fans around the league hate them. People buy into the the "this team is so fun to watch" that all the "smart" media types and LBGT fukk bois are trying to overwhelm us with. Fukk GSW as a staff, record labal, and mutha fukking crew.
Watching Steph Curry cross opponents up and hitting three pointers in their faces is very fun to watch. Regardless if you think the LGBT and White Liberals and stats nerds have a hand in their media hype. All-in-All, I do agree that Curry's clean-cut image is more acceptable to a niche audience, as opposed to LBJ's pro-BLM stance. But at the same time, LBJ is apart of the establishment himself.....

:wtf: The basketball community hated the Heat though. How quickly we forget all these pros and former players shytting on the Heat for teaming up.
Paul Pierce tweeting after a regular season game how he took his talents to south beach :mjlol: Players telling D Wade during games he picked the wrong guy to team up with :dead: Coaches calling each other up on 3 way exchanging tips and strategies :bryan:

Like I said, true villains. Golden State may not ever face that same vitriol but they're still an enjoyable bunch to watch. I hope they go above and beyond what we were able to do.
