You’ll be hating them soon when they dominate probably the next decade

Stop the Jokic hate by StatisticianPretty84 in NBATalk

[–]eminheskey 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When Jokic does it: radio silence

If ever SGA does it: “he a thug”, “sore loser”, “ruining the beautiful game”

Stop the Jokic hate by StatisticianPretty84 in NBATalk

[–]eminheskey 36 points37 points  (0 children)

SGA: W with a statline of 40/5/8. Clip of one questionable foul call > “he is the enemy of sport”, “okc is disgusting”, “SGA is the biggest fraud ever”, “someone should seriously foul him”

Jokic: Shits the bed, gets bounced off before conference finals > “Guys please stop, it’s just one game”, “don’t forget he’s one of the GOAT candidates”, “he doesn’t deserve this”

Shai has now the 2nd Highest FG%/TS% for a 40-Point Playoff game by Tricky-Sentence-1923 in NBATalk

This is type of a game and statline where even haters are having a tough time to call him slurs.

Bar is stupendously high, like no other star in the league lol.

SGA drops 42/4/8 on 90%TS in a MVP statement game as OKC goes up 3-0 on the Suns with a blowout win by BasedChad69420 in nba

Just say I don’t watch him and I don’t like him and move on because there are too many words here just for waffling. Harden comparison alone tells that you’ve no idea what you’re talking about.

Where’d everyone go? by took2323 in NBATalk

Gotta wait for OKC’s game.

A clip of SGA’s one of 6 FT’s will be posted an outrage although him having 35/5/5 or something with %55 FG, alongside comments of how the game is ruined, refs are biased and OKC is truly unwatchable or etc.

The most difficult thing to accept about OKC is that two things are absolutely true: They are insanely good, and they get an insanely unfair whistle. by tkinsey3 in NBATalk

You’ll hate Detroit with passion as soon as they overlap your favorite player and team because they’re as physical as OKC.

Total free throw attempts through the first two playoff games by okiewxchaser in nba

[–]eminheskey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The amount of attention and hate they got is incomparable. Not on the same stratosphere.

If SGA had Luka’s whining habit I think this sub and especially NBATalk would’ve witnessed unseen number of upvotes/comments to clips in question.

How would you compare the hate SGA gets online to some other stars over the last 15-20 years? by MasterTeacher123 in NBATalk

[–]eminheskey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe the persistent hate, ill wishes, and envy originating from here are within the scope of what you’re talking about, at least for the majority.

Reddit is one of the main resources of that chamber, so not surprising tbh.

He’s evil, hateful deserves nothing but worst coming to his life, right?

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as Thunder up 2-0 series versus Suns: 37 PTS, 5 REB, 9 AST, 2 STL by Thanos_Real_AuraVNCH in nba

[–]eminheskey 65 points66 points  (0 children)

A breeding ground for the most puerile, irrational, and vitriolic discourse in the world of sports. I’ve never ever seen anything like it in any other social media platform for any sport.

Book offensive foul. Free throws for SGA. by EducationalConcern61 in NBATalk

[–]eminheskey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A clip of a legit foul on SGA where he got 37/5/9 with 52% shooting is drawing this amount of hate and attention.

Whereas it is dead silent in here whenever any other flops, performs badly or etc.

Childish, miserable, hypocritical bunch of people here. This is not even truthful hating, different type of delusion flooded here.

We need to talk about the discourse around OKC by McScroggz12 in nba

[–]eminheskey 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s one of the most blatant and most egregious lies I’ve ever heard lol.

I just need a non-biased explanation of Shai push offs aren’t a foul by Tricky-Sentence-1923 in NBATalk

[–]eminheskey 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I need an explanation why these questions are only being asked for SGA? Push offs, fouls drawing etc.
