I am talking about a player that is not as bad as people make him out to be, or perhaps that is held to an unreasonable standard. Like, yo, that is our third string center, OF COURSE he’s not going to be as good at (fill in the blank starter). A lot of times this is a star too of course. Or maybe it is a guy that is in fact good, but since he’s getting paid X amount, then he gets hate because he’s not prime MJ.
And as a bonus, who is the player that you think gets irrational support from this same fanbase?
These days any time Austin Reaves has a bad game, the hate bandwagon on here goes super hard.
And people will dunk on him for some Lakers fans calling him a future all star as if that’s personally Reaves’ fault.
