Explain Kobe and Tim Duncan then... are they not still active players playing on great and/or recently great teams that also get a lot of spotlight and generate haters/media scrutiny?

Very simple really... Duncan/Kobe didnt have that creative & obsessed haters... Lebron haters > Any haters in NBA history imo.... its butthurt people, people in denial, people envious of his success located in the most perfect decade considering the ways they can vent.... watching his success and their favorite players/teams they cant do anything else but hang on to that material and act like its bottlenecking his legacy or something, thats the only material they have, through gifs/videos they have made Lebron look:

*Like the GOAT travel player.
*Like the worst clutch player of all time.
*Like the worst post up player of all time.
*and now like the GOAT flopper.

..whats next?

Kobe had/has/will always have a LOT of haters though. He was perceived as a threat right out the gates to the legacy of Michael Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal. If he was flopping on a regular basis those fans would have shredded him for it.

Come on, there are plenty.

Lol, because Kobe doesn't flop.

We covered that in the other thread. He got crossed up and lost his balance. He played bad defense and fell. That's an anklebreaker, not a flop.

Hahaha... LOOK IN THE MIRROR

Larry Bird definitely sells some contact here, totally unnatural way to react to getting punched while in a headlock:

...

he fell and slid across half of the court.


nice lol

True.

Won't dispute the fact that LeBron is a flopper. Just saying that I don't really recall LeBron being a flopper back in his Cleveland days, maybe there's a reason he started flopping when he got to Miami. Could be because he stopped getting calls from refs after forming the Big 3. He didn't flop as much last year though that's for sure.

He didnt flop at all in cleveland really.. I honestly think wade rubbed off on him with that

Pauk hasn't hated on Kobe in a long time. Hes responding to Kobe fans insulting his idol 24/7, but he hasn't taken anything away from Kobe's career since he stopped trolling

Please. That's because Kobe hasn't played in a long time.

It's not just Kobe fans who hate Lebron. I know that's the popular narrative with Lebron fans, but as shocking as it may sound, a lot of basketball fans don't like Lebron regardless of what team they support.

And a lot more fans like him. He's one of the most popular athletes in history.

Bullshit. There is no ****ing way his popularity is even remotely close to what Wilt, Magic, Bird, Jordan, or even Shaq experienced.
