The media is making people hate Stephen Curry lmao

[Tha_Mac]

A lot of people on this forum call me out for "obsessively" hating Steph Curry. I figured, since this Thread falls in line with a lot of the reason why I speak negatively about Steph, that I'd write a long piece basically explaining how I feel.

I'm genuinely not the type to get upset because the media is hyping someone up. I think that shyt is corny. When the media was riding KD his MVP year I was all for it.

But the Steph Curry felatio is just crazy fam.

He has been anointed too quickly. ESPN already has him at the 4th best PG of all time. ESPN frequently compares him to Jordan and cites quotes from guys like Jason Kidd calling him, "This generation's Jordan." Teams beat the Warriors and post-game highlight reels on NBA TV and ESPN consist of showing Curry and slurping his every move rather than praising the team who actually won. A vine is uploaded every 3 seconds of every little move he does as though every single starting caliber PG in the NBA can't do the dribbling tricks he does in pre-game warmups with no one guarding them. He is pushed down our throats marketing wise more than any star I can remember in recent history, because of his "relatability" (aka undersized, "not too black looking" and unathletic meaning he can tap into the white dollar.) He has legions of unbelievably annoying stans who're really just anti-Lebron types/Kobe-stans.

And even worse is that he buys into his own hype. Everyone tries so hard to push him as "humble, family man" but I watch the games and I see a douche who celebrates after every, single, shot, he hits like it's his first time playing ball. nikka hit a 3 last night getting blown out by Det and really had the nerve to do his "praise to god" celebration. nikka takes 3s and turns around and barks at the bench/does some kind of celebration or starts running back on D before they go in. He routinely takes (and bricks) heat checks from absolutely retarded range that just about any other player in the league would get benched for because he himself now truly believes he's god and can't miss. Every play for him is his opportunity to bring back the And 1 Mixtape tour and he's always looking to be flashy, with the consequence often being costly turnovers (see the Denver loss.)

We're talking about a guy who is about to be 28 years old. Not much younger than LeBron who is now regarded as a dinosaur. He was average and injury prone for his first 4 years and only has 2 All-Star Appearances (a 3rd coming.) He's on a team that is largely regarded as the sum of it's parts. Their trip to the Finals involved playing 4 teams that all had costly injuries to their best players, with their Finals Win being a struggle 6 game series against a Cavs team that was completely gutted outside of LeBron James--a series that any other team held to such a high standard would've undoubtedly swept. Not only did Curry not even win Finals MVP, he was largely ineffective for huge stretches of games in the series and often had a front runner mentality, getting the bulk of his points late in the game when the Warriors were leading comfortably/were in desperation mode and needed to try and come back.

So please tell me, what has this guy done to earn all of this praise? Praise him for being a great amongst many greats, sure. But people have propped him up to be some untouchable god, Curry stanship is seriously only rivaled by "MJ is a deity who can never be criticized" stanship.

A lot of people on this forum call me out for obsessively hating Steph Curry. I actually don't truly hate Steph Curry, I hate what the powers that be have made him into. LeBron had 4 MVPs, multiple Finals Trips and Wins, came out the gates at 18 and has been dominating the NBA since HS (one of the few HS hyped stars to actually live up to their hype), and even now on the Coli nikkas are reluctant to give him his due or ever acknowledge his status as the best in the league at any point in his career. The same can be said for any of the super stars who came before even him, like Kobe. But with Curry there seems to be this unanimous collective sucking of his dikk and acceptance of him as the greatest thing since slice bread despite having so little to show for it, and I can't wrap my head around why.

Beautifully said!

I agree with the OP.

You think BSPN really thinks he's the 4th best PG of all-time? Of course not. They're building him up so people will get sick of him.

Then if he slips up in the playoffs, they'll have articles and roundtable discussions questioning how good he really is, or if he's a product of the system/team, whatever.

It's like clockwork.

You're not serious are you?

This post is absolutely horrible. Yall dudes don't even know what you're saying half the time.

 

[Detroit Wave]

Nobody gives a fukk about the pistons



People upload videos to generate traffic, the video poster edited it strictly so people could watch the world's most popular player put up a lot of points

but nah, there is a grand conspiracy for people to hate Steph Curry

breh u a knicks fan yall nikkas aint had a title since the 70s

 

[Ronnie Lott]

On the coli? You.


Outside of this site, it's not that people hate the Warriors. They don't. They're getting smothered by them, which would be wack except nobody minds when they're smothered by Kobe or LeBron or Harden or whoever.


It's no different than when neckbeards who watch wrestling follow a wrestler from jump, bytch when he doesn't get a title shot, gets one, wins it all, and then after he wins the belt it's like "aight, I'm done with this. Time for someone new"

The media can't make you do shyt

How do Warriors fans feel about your hate?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Now the Pistons beat the Warriors last night by 18 points but the NBA puts up a video saying "Stephen Curry drops 38 on the Pistons" lol. The NBA/the media is doin their best to make sure Curry is hated. U don't believe me? Look at all the dislikes the video got and then read the comments






But forreal tho they need to chill out

Its NBA's YouTube channel - the usually just post highlights of players - not team highlights. Go and look at their uploads and see how many times they upload team highlights. These are the latest uploads from the last four days -

Top 10 assists of the week
Top 10 buzzer beats of the week
Dunk highlights
Gasol scoring 37 points (highlights)
Whiteside's triple double (highlights)
Butler's 52-pt game (highlights)
Parker drops season-high 31 points (highlights)
Porzingis drops 16 points in first quarter (highlights)
Isiah Thomas drops 34 points (highlights)
Ryan Anderson drops 32 points (highlights)

THEY HARDLY EVER UPLOAD TEAM HIGHLIGHTS. Some of yall are honestly dumb as hell.

 

[Shadow King]

They do this to every person that gets hot. Hype them to the point you get sick of them calling him the 4th best point guard of all time in Year 7 was an example of that. Intentional or not, it happens.

I'm subscribed to the NBA YT channel. I watch their vids everyday. Steph is the only player I've ever seen get a video uploaded for scoring 38 in a losing effort, let me clarify--a BLOWOUT losing effort, not even a nail-biter. At least when they uploaded Kristaps' 28 in their loss to San Antonio it had some merit because that game came down to the wire. But this shyt is just blatant.

nikka you'll sift through 67 pages of google looking for Advanced Stat A and B to prove your point about which player is better but you seriously couldn't take 10 minutes out of your day to actually examine the NBA YT Pages Video Uploads? Before posting this dumb shyt?

This paragraph basically sums up all the nonsense you were talking so I'll address this.

You claim that dudes are reluctant to give LeBron his due at the best at any point in his career - newsflash - that STARTED well before Curry grew into a star. You can not place the blame on this media coverage on Curry changing people's minds as if they didn't already have those beliefs beforehand. Second of all, it isn't as if Curry doesn't have arguably more impact than LeBron on the game. It's not like the media is hyping up OJ Mayo. Why shouldn't Curry be lauded as the best payer currently in the league? Even if you disagree he has a sound argument.

Second of all - you claim the media is overlooking LeBron and there's a "unanimous collective sucking of his dikk and acceptance of him as the greatest thing since slice bread" - if that were true, the surrounding narrative around the Finals last season would've been about. It wasn't. It was mostly about LeBron. Iggy winning the FMVP was because of the narrative surrounding LeBron - because he was the one who killed the superhero.

When although Iggy was important to their title win in the Finals, he wasn't the most important piece. He only garnered that attention because he was the main defender on LeBron.

GTFOH - it was still a loss.

They know they'll get more hits putting up Curry scoring highlights - it's not an agenda trying to make people hate him - they just know what's best for business.

nikka you'll sift through 67 pages of google looking for Advanced Stat A and B to prove your point about which player is better but you seriously couldn't take 10 minutes out of your day to actually examine the NBA YT Pages Video Uploads? Before posting this dumb shyt?

They post player highlights - why wouldn't they post highlights of arguably the most popular player in the league, no matter if he won or lost? If he's putting up highlight-worthy shots that go in, you don't think folk are going to want to watch it? Here you are arguing for a rookie getting highlights in a loss, yet saying that there's this scheme to create a public divide because they post highlights of arguably the most popular player in the league, in a loss; your argument is that Curry suffered a blowout loss and a rookie whose career has only just begun suffered a nail-biting loss.

GTFOH you corny ass nikka.

Your final argument collapses on itself because you're basing it on last season when I'm very clearly talking about the right now.

Your first argument sorely misses my point, because that isn't an indictment on the media as much as it is an indictment on the sheep who gobble it. As for your second argument I really don't have any qualms with people proclaiming Steph to be the best in the league right now. I thought KD was better than LeBron during his MVP year. But if you can't see the difference between giving someone their due as the best right now, and the type of praise that Curry has been receiving then this is all lost on you. You're arguably the biggest Steph stan on this board so you'll refuse to be swayed but literally any other player with as little credentials as he has so far in the game being force fed down our throats and constantly being compared to Michael Jordan would be maniacally laughed at. No questions asked.

The tldr interpretation for people who'd rather not read all that bullshyt:

"I hate steph curry because he's become more popular than lebron, beat him in the finals, and usurped his mantle as the face of the league"

This isn't the case for every curry/warrior hater...but 100% for you

Except,

He's not more popular than LeBron. In literally any metric of worth. Inb4 you use All Star Votes.
And financially speaking has not usurped him as the league's face either. The Warriors are on pace to have a historic season and guess who the biggest TV Ratings draw is for the NBA still? Oh yeah, the small market Cleveland Cavaliers...and it isn't even close.

I used LeBron as a point of reference because he's the most recent big name in the league before Curry. But you could substitute him for virtually anyone else and the argument holds up exactly the same. I personally have never seen a player be anointed and hailed as "the one" so quickly while having so little too show for it.
