Man was out there terrorizing those folks for absolutely no reason

There is a stark difference between showing love for Steph this season and other players doing the same. Steph has put up eerily astounding numbers that led to wins, an MVP and a final appearance.
It’s hard to say he’s looting when he did the same on a championship caliber team.

When Kobe was doing his thug thizzle back in the mid 00s...it was respected. Nobody is watching 62 in 3 quarters or 81 and acting like it ain’t special. You be hearing what you want to hear.
Same with Russ. He’s the worst mvp ever, and got a lot of sympathy. But he was deserving in 2017.
Stop doing your straw man thing my guy

Nobody's claiming he's looting.... what he did in prior seasons with has nothing to do with the results he has this season with this team.
Celebrate all you want i've just noticed how this is being discussed versus other generational talents who had trash/depleted rosters for a season. It wasn't getting the same call of appreciation in here, but that happens often depending on the players being discussed.

Not even trying to deflect or be obtuse but can you please point out the specific seasons where generational talents with trash/depleted rosters had similar numbers to Steph this year?

Straw man?? i'm pretty sure i was on NT under my past SN while Kobe was in the midst of doing that & seeing a lot of non appreciation.
I quite vividly remember Russ's MVP year people arguing that he was costing the team wins to get triple doubles (in reality they were winning at an above 70% clip when he got one)
Pretty Sure the Second AD demanded a trade people questioned his value to winning as well
If you want to cheer for public enemy #1 be my guest he's balling out.... but let's not act as if there aren't people who have knocked other great MVP tier guys for putting up numbers on mediocre teams

The Russ stuff was he was stat hunting (which he was). And a close look at the numbers revealed the insane triple double numbers and wins came against the bottom half of the league.

I find it really hard to believe people were not impressed by 81 points or 62 points or Kobe averaging 35ppg, and going on the crazy binge. I remember the SI covers etc. **** was wild then.
And as impressive as that was....Steve Nash still had an argument for mvp. That didn’t mean Kobe wasn’t appreciated. Same with Russ.
in 2017, I’d have gone with Harden or Kawhi as mvp. But Russ was deserving...no matter how much I saw through it.

Word let me come in here and say that about half of Wardell's streak has come against HOU, WAS, CLE and OKC oh and MIL was without Giannis too. All hell would break loose and they'd say I'm hating. Rules are DIFFERENT for Wardell. I vividly remember dudes downplaying 81 cause it was the Raptors. Russ has gotten work against literally every team in the league.

Am I the only one who thinks the media is making too big of a deal out of KDs so I contusion injury?
He got knee'd in the thigh and they kept them out of the game as a precaution, wire analysts acting like he re-aggravated his Achilles or something? Seems like a big overreaction based off of a very minor injury

Whenever anyone adds nuance to Russell’s raw numbers it’s considered hate. Nah my dude, it’s called thorough analysis and most of the time it illustrates that there is more than meets the eye besides triple doubles and wins and losses.
What is truly amazing about Russ Stans is that what they classify as “hate” is simply folks using data that shows he’s not all that they’re making him out to be.
If he was dominating against good teams, you’d have no problem with touring the records of the teams he had triple doubles against. If his numbers led to winning, you’d have no problem discussing his team’s W-L record. If his team’s offensive rating was better with him on the court than when he’s off it, you’d gladly bring it up.
Folks are spitting cold, hard facts and because it disproves your argument doesn’t mean it’s hate or OD.
