As a companion to the “who is a player you don’t get the hype for” thread, here is something more positive. Who is a player you feel is either disrespected, misunderstood, underrated, or straight-up maligned to an unfair degree?
My pick is THJ. Every single time I watch this dude play (usually against the Lakers) he looks like Prime TMac. He just gets to his spots, elevates, and knocks everything down with such a pure stroke. He seems unstoppable at times. And yet, I know Mavs fans constantly are disappointed with his inconsistent play, so maybe I am missing something with my few-and-far-in-between impressions.
Who else you got?
All of them. I don’t know why people hate basketball players.
You don’t understand the hate for miles bridges?
i think they mean they don’t hate anyone for play on the court. off-court shit is fair game for hatred.
Sure, but basketball players aren’t reduced for their actions on the court. To make a blanket statement that you don’t understand why anyone hates any basketball player is wild considering we have domestic abusers in the league
oh yeah no arguments from me. if i were in that poster’s shoes i would not have made that kind blanket statement.
Or Draymond Green?
Not everyone likes to be a simp for multimillionaires
Some just like to be haters.
That’s true too. For the record, I was defending Kyrie.
I didn’t. World be flat is paid to play basketball not for his wisdom and smarts… clearly. Absolutely reasonable to critique some of the shit he says.
LMAO, the irony
I mean there are plenty of reasons lmao multi millionaires behaving like manchildren, players trying to injure others, literal sexual predators
