Lebron's Hatred for Steph...

[faustian]

How dare you

Vs

You can be physically gifted all you want, staying out of trouble and shit is the hard part, plenty of kids in LeBrons shoes wouldn't have even played HS ball due to getting involved in drugs or gangs.

Curry was going to have a chance, no matter what, because of his dad, even if he absolutely sucked, he would have had opportunities.


The two are honestly not comparable.

Bron had boosters giving him and his mom money and cars and other valuables since he was like 12. No reason for him to bother with hustling, he was taken care of. The NBA is the closest thing there is to a meritocracy. If anything, SC was underrated his whole life until now. Even the Warriors gave him a low-ball deal which he was forced to take because of his glass ankles. He's the most underpaid player ever.

Get the fuck out of here, no one even knew who LeBron was until he was 12, you realize that he didn't go play on some crazy good AAU team right? His travel team was him and mainly scrubs, same kids he played HS ball with, none of them amounted to anything.

I think it's funny when people say that Curry had to work harder or that Lebron didn't have to work hard. How the fuck do they know that? Just a bullshit argument.

Just to be clear, I'm definitely NOT saying that and I think that is a retarded argument. All I am saying is that Bron is much more physically gifted and that this was recognized at a much earlier age than with SC. Curry had to grind to make it to the top. Bron had to grind to stay on top. They BOTH have great work ethics.

 

[Chris Kyle is a liar]

My sources tell me that Lebron caught Savannah four fingers deep to a Steph Curry mix.

You didn't actually contradict what I said. We both said 12. You're just trying to be argumentative and contrarian to everything I say. Yes, Bron and his mom was taken care of at an early age because he was recognized as the messiah. His AAU team is irrelevant.

Give me proof that they were taken care of financially, since you seem to know everything about his personal life and childhood.

The real reason is Steph is just better than him in every regard. It took Nike millions of dollars and like 6 years to finally get people buying his shoes. Then Curry just walks into UA and they roll out the worst shoes possible and they outsell Lebrons signatures

Brian Windhorse started covering him his freshman year of high school. Everyone knew he was gonna be great and he already had old creepy white dudes following him everywhere

 

[Chris Kyle is a liar]

Lebron was paid more by these old bald jews at 13 than Dell Curry made his entire career.

HS is 15/16, my dude over here is talking about 12 years old.

Yea, Bron won the state championship his freshmen year, the point isn't whether everyone knew he'd be good, it's whether him and his mom were taken care of financially from the time he was 12 lol

Why are manlet Asians always so anti-Semitic?

Is that why UA's stock price has been tanking? lmao

LeBron James, the country's most visible high school basketball star, was stripped of his remaining eligibility yesterday because he accepted two sports jerseys from a Cleveland clothing store.

The decision came four days after James, who is expected to be the No. 1 pick in the National Basketball Association draft in June, was cleared of any violations after receiving a $50,000 sports utility vehicle from his mother.

James sold out Pauley Pavilion in early January. As part of the bargain, his team was given air travel, hotel accommodations and limousine service to and from games. ESPN televised two St. Vincent-St. Mary games. Two years ago, school officials decided to move the team's home games to the 5,900-seat Rhodes Arena at Akron University because of James's growing celebrity.

Representatives from Nike and Adidas have courted James for more than two years. Before the draft, he is expected to sign an endorsement deal that could approach $25 million -- more than twice what his N.B.A. rookie-scale contract will pay him.

Those financial realities left many observers shaking their heads at the O.H.S.S.A. decision yesterday.

''After the diamond-encrusted necklaces and $50,000 cars, they're getting him on two retro jerseys?'' said Marc Cornstein, a Manhattan-based basketball agent who represents mostly European players. ''That's the equivalent of Al Capone getting caught for tax evasion.''

I was already hearing about this kid back in the 90s, like 10 years before I heard of Curry. The boosters got their hooks into this kid and his mom early.

I said "like 12". Perhaps slight hyperbole on my part. He was 14 when I started hearing about him, and I'm not from anywhere near Akron. He was a national sensation. He probably started getting paid when he was around 14. 14 is still really fucking young. It would be seen as creepy as fuck if he was a girl and not a future sports star.

That article is from High School, everyone knows about that incident, it was highly publicized.

I want the proof that he's been financially taken care of since he was 12 years old.

so he was a senior when that happened not 12 like you originally said

Bryce Harper was on the cover of Sports Illustrated at the age of 15, doesn't mean he and his family were being given money by boosters.

Once again, the article you posted is from his Senior year of High School, he was 17/18, I want proof.

 

[Almighty Angus]

You also realize he was cleared after the fact of the charges in the article, right?

His mom took out a loan and insurance on him his senior year, knowing he'd be the #1 or #2 pick in the draft, and bought him a $50,000 hummer, they suspended him and forfeited 1 game, then he was allowed to play the rest of the season in route to a national title.

Either I want some fucking proof of his family being financially stable from 12-HS, or you're going to have to start doing some back tracking.
