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.

      When we have everyone playing like they should, we can win the Cup. That has been the biggest problem when we get to the playoffs, but this year seems to be fixed mostly. We could have had multiple if we had done this in the past.

      Here we go Bryce Stan’s you should love this. Hell it may be one of you.  It has every cliche excuse and then some.  Unintentionally hilarious my limit was reached when he said Bryce had it hard because four play callers.

      JJ & Luke, episode 8

      By csx · Posted

      Luke goes in to the specifics of what he looked to accomplish in joint practices.  Basically they may work with someone on the opposing team to stress something they feel is a weakness in their own game in a different way that can be done with someone they are familiar with. That they can have predetermined stresses but since neither wants to get injured and it has absolutely no bearing on anything there is not the level of concern that would be in a preseason game.  He would also even chat with opposing OC.   It seems like an interesting nuance among the vets and savy pros.
