With Recent news about Curry being in the top list of hated players among players and kawhi just a hair behind him, Why shouldn't the organization use this cultural and social situation to their advantage?
Curry would make Kawhi unstoppable. Vice Versa.
It's the perfect situation.
Fuck no. This thread belongs in Auschwitz.
Kawhi is hated ?
wtf :lol
There have been reports that he's not in the "in crowd". I don't know if he's hated, he's just viewed as an outsider by the Lebron crew (CP3, Melo, Paul George, Lebron, etc..).Quote:

this isnt just false reporting from some writers as this is something people in the NBA that know NBA circles have been saying for a year and half now.
Which is crazy because Kawhi and Curry actually had to work hard and make sacrifices for all this thing to happen.
He's probably not as "Hated" as Curry though.Quote:

Maybe cuz Nobody in that "In Crew" list can guard Kawhi...Quote:

I knew that Lebron tries to disminish as much as he can Kawhi's achievements but did not know he was put aside by the lebron crew... neither Curry btw
BTW I was looking at some woj articles and found dat stuff about Curry
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/lebron-...164059383.html
I guess this is the report Apa is talking about
I'm pretty 80% of players in the NBA don't associate with each other outside of the season tbh
I'm sure Curry is doing very well without Kawhi.
Oh no, what is Kawhi ever to do! Say it aint so Ledouchbag! SAY...IT...AINT...SO!!!! :cryQuote:

Aka, they're not "black" enough for them. Duncan wasn't/isn't either and like Leonard, he never tried to be in the "cool kids" clique. The only reason he was mostly above reproach was because he was a near immediate and continuous champion.
I doubt he's hated but as a quiet dude who's probably to himself or keeps his own company the majority of the league's top players probably find that weird and kinda leave him alone....which if you watched the all star game you could tell Kawhi doesnt have the whole buddy buddy thing going on with the other players. He's not one of the in crowd not because he's hated but because he simply don't give a shit imo
Oh noes, does Kwa have to mount a banana boat and ride with the *In* crowd?
Def not in the in crowd. U can tell whos in the in crowd at the ASGQuote:

I can see why Curry is disliked, he has gotten cocky (showboating antics on the court) the last few years. That will always rub guys the wrong way. Kawhi seems to limit himself to his friends, other Californians and maybe the Jordan brand guys.
Pretty much this. He has a tendency to rub salt in the wounds by showboating and rubbing it in when the Warriors are up big in a game. Acting that way will always garner hatred. Also I would say's he's very fake guy when it comes to acting tough and talking trash.Quote:

This reminds me of way back in '08 when Spur fans loved Chris Paul and thought he was classy up until the Spurs played the hornets in the playoffs.
Lmao! A lot of youngins won't get this referenceQuote:

Enjoy a Joel Anthony extension and a euro scrub first round pick instead.
Probably not concerned with player empowerment like those other guys. Not all people are like that though, just cause they're black and good at basketball.Quote:

Exactly. :tuQuote:

Kawhi was a poor kid from Moreno Valley, quiet and respectful on court. Curry was, is, and will be just a rich, annoying b*****
I will say this Curry is fake and the success has gotten to his head. Living in NC I saw his rise at Davidson when he was unknown prospect that wasn't even considered to be NBA worthy. He didn't talk trash or showboat in college. Factor in that he didn't start talking a lot of shit until Draymond joined the Warriors which definitely shows he's a pathetic follower and not a leader. Kawhi on the other hand has stayed the same person and hasn't let the success get to his head. Both are religious but Kawhi unlike Curry keeps it to himself while Curry goes into preacher mode. One is an attention whore while the other is very private. These two players have nothing in common other than being late bloomers.Quote:

He's a tool, but you can't hold it against him for his game being perfectly suited to the way the NBA has progressed. Melo was never winning anything from the get go. He never played defense, he doesn't pass the ball enough and in all honesty, he's carried too much weight virtually his whole career which has limited his athleticism and speed.
I love Paul's leadership, intelligence, competitiveness and his game, but it's just not suited to winning championships and hasn't been for over 30 years. Even then, Magic was scoring 24ppg as a 6'9 'Point Guard'.
imagine the meltdowns when Kawhi got the ring and FMVP.
By players. It`s possible. I would hate to play against KawhiQuote:
