Good point I've been hearing today, if LeBron had Curry's performance last night he would've been destroyed today in the media. Why does Curry get a pass? He was the mvp...

​LeBron has always just been under such a close eye from the media.  Not sure why, he just gets more poo than any other player probably ever.  It took him awhile to get a ring and that started the whole "no rings, not clutch, etc" thing but now he's put all those narratives to rest but the media still looks for the littlest things.  They expect him to be perfect.  Other than maybe Bryce Harper, LeBron has been the most hyped athlete of the past 20 years or so.  He's exceeded all the ridiculous expectations that were placed on him and then some, but the media still expects every thing from him.  It kinda sucks for LeBron but oh well.

LeBron has a lot of haters, Curry really has none.  I mean it really is impossible to hate Steph Curry, so that could be one reason why.  There are millions of people that love to see LeBron fail, but NO ONE wants to see Curry fail.  Curry is a shooter though.  Shooters have bad games.  Wouldn't be surprised at all to see him explode for 40+ tomorrow night.  It's just the nature of the beast when you're a shooter.

​This is true. What Curry had going for him is that he succeeded when many doubted his ability to perform in the NBA. That gives him a hate pass. 

Literally everyone expected Lebron to go HAM in the league, so people get jealous and pitch a fit and try to bring him down.

Then there is the "He isn't better than Jordan so he sucks" crowd that operates on solid logic... *rolls eyes*

I am in complete awe of what LeBron is doing out there. He is going to the O.K. Corral and using a knife and still comes out slinging! If he wills this team to an NBA Finals victory then in my mind that solidifies him as GOAT. Not even Jordan could do all this with the cast LeBron has.

Curry hasn't been touted basketball Jesus and the heir to MJ's throne since he was 16. Nor has Curry self proclaimed himself a King. The LeBron hate is retarded but that's two entirely different situations. The only thing I don't like about LeBron is the constant over dramatic whining to the refs and flops. He's spent too much time around Coach K.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
