The Hate The Clippers Are Getting Is Most Forced Thing I've Seen

[Marc Spector]

I don’t understand this angle...dethrone Lebron how and from what? He isn’t a defending champ, hasn’t won a title in 3 seasons, and if not for the KD injury he’s arguably not even the best player in the league. Sure there is a coalition of people that hate Lebron and that will align with anybody that’s competition to him, but that’s just how fandom works, how is that any different than every other prominent player? Y’all speak on him like he’s MJ or something and I don’t get it.
Dethrone him from what? Media affection? Fan popularity? Whats the angle here ?

Just like Jordan, Lebron is the protagonist of the NBA doggie. He is still considered the best. Im not going into the stan wars with you, but youd be a fool not to see that he drives nearly every major narrative in the NBA. 3 years removed from a chip even.

Durants warriors run did not elevate him like that ,stop it. Otherwise, why did he leave? Mans did his scoring thing but he was a nuclear option on a team full of nukes.

Nope. Clippers derserve all the hate. Kawahi taking breaks all season, terrible coaching from Doc, weak ass performance from Prozac P. Team horribly underperformed.

 

[WesCrook]

yea lets act obtuse and pretend that the Clippers resurgance and media converage wasnt fueled by the sheer obsession with trying to dethrone Lebron James.

And those nikkas bought into it too so they asked for it.

This is exactly what it is. Take Lebron out of the equation and no one gives a shyt about the Clippers.

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

The role players were feeling themselves too much.

Paul George was poppin too much shyt, even though he's never won anything.


The back and forth with Dame Lilliard also didn't help.


The pleas being copped bu them only makes it worse.

They blaming their issues on chemistry, but didn't have a problem with load management all season.

 

[who_better_than_me]

Lakers stans combined with Bron stans talking shyt. That’s literally the biggest stanbases in all of sports combined. You’re completely underestimating this so did the Clippers

edit- I forgot to add Kawhi left an entire country that loved him. Yeah it’s gonna be ugly for a minute lmao

Delusional.

 

[intruder]

Noone gets more hate on social media or the Coli than LeBron. Noone.

And we proved this in here many years ago. We had bet in a thread that if I start a thread and just put "LeBron" and nothing else in the title that shyt would get 100 views within a minute. Plain thread no content just a title. Made the thread and within 60 seconds it had about 314 views. Did the same for other high caliber athletes of the time and shots never got over 40 and three highest was Kobe who got like just under 40.

 

[The Villain]

It's a team of clowns, jackasses and fake thugs, led by a clown ass coach, and dikkrode to hell and back by the NBA media in the face of all basketball logic over the fukking LAKERS and LEBRON.
They earned every bit of this. The game has been disrespected for 15 months. And now the chickens have come home to roost for them.

fukk em. They deserve worse.

 

[Kinguno]

Because they talked so much shyt not Kawhi but they talked so much shyt and they tricked people by being loud that’s a story for another day.

Look at how they portrayed themselves peep the jersey repping bloods and crips and think some more about optics

We'll pretend people didn't go crazy after the first game of the season and that commercial about Kawhi and the Clippers owning LA.

ESPN went crazy. No one in LA gave a fukk. I would argue 80-90% of LA basketball fans fukk with The lakers


Now many lakers fans wanted Kawhi instead of Lebron, but lebron showed why he’s still the better player in the league.

kawhi should have respected the BLM movement so the ancestors could bless him like they doing Bron

They wanted Paul George too smh. Man I don't know anything right now lol. Clippers blew it.

Social media is kinda corny.
nikkas treatin the Clippers like they the LeBron Cavs, BIG3 Heat, Warriors, Kobe's Lakers etc. like they some controversial team with, great players who are hated or loved.

Clippers were the most boringest, non-controversial, bland good team in recent history.

not to mention from a national level, they didn’t move the needle ratings wise like teams above

Its not hatred, and I think you're conflating the shyt with "hatred". No one hates the Los Angeles Clippers, they have nothing in their entire history to espouse an emotion of hatred from anybody...

What youre doing is conveniently overlooking the fact that they were forced down the throats of basketball culture for the last 14 months or so, why are you deflecting from that? So what you're seeing is the response from a culture that understood why this narrative was so strong and pushed so hard...

Nobody hates them. A number of their players are unlikable. We gave them a pedestal they didn't earn, we shifted on the Lakers for them for years, turnabout is fair play, g....

LeBron is still the face of the NBA and has been that for what, 12-13 years? Its arguable that he is no longer the best player in basketball, but thats only arguable, KD has holes in his case whereas LeBron was undoubtedly the best player for a decade strong...

He's the most polarizing player in The League maybe ever, all these superstars, teams, achievements are compared to him, not the other way around. He aint Mike, he's LeBron, the best player since Mike by a massive margin and arguably the greatest player ever. The polarization with him continues to drive NBA storylines, one of the biggest being to say he isnt as great as he has proven to be...

 

[TheSpook]

I'm just mad I lost a couple franks on their choking asses. I don't care about none of these sports teams, just line my pockets.

 

[Animal House]

With a roster like that no excuses, this reminds me when the Warriors beat that number 1 seed Mavericks team with mvp Dirk in the first round




Matter of fact that was small ball
