Why is ISH pro-Lebron for this Finals?

[KirbyPls]

The list of consistent Lebron haters seems to actually be rooting for Lebron/Cavs.

Is it jinxing, Curry hatred, Warriors cockiness, or some combination of the above.

Thoughts, theories?

[Dr Hawk]

People tend to side with the underdogs

[SilkkTheShocker]

Warriors cocky-ness has to be #1. They talk a lot of s.hit for team that beat a bunch of injured teams in the playoffs. Paper champions to the max.

Because people like to appreciate greatness.

Occam's Razor apparently.

You can't help but root for a guy who is leaving everything on the floor. He's not playing perfect basketball but the amount of effort he's expending by leading this team against a 67-win team is unbelievable. He's not thinking and simply relying on his work ethic and natural talent while playing at maximum effort.

[J Shuttlesworth]

It's because he's playing with pure confidence, and not giving a ****. Same with his team. They are clearly outmatched talent wise, but they are playing with heart, and hustle. You can visibly see that they want it more.

This is also a classic example of sheer will vs. analytics/being the paper favorite.

With Lebron?

combination of rooting for the greatness that is the 2nd greatest the sport has ever seen and the natural tendency to root for the underdog

LeBron can get ****ed

Those two.

Also appreciating what LeBron's doing with a clearly inferior squad. To be able to give his team a chance to win in both games so far, is amazing. Dude is a monster.

Are you a mole infiltrating the Lebron family, or are you legit rooting for Lebron?

I'm actually rooting for LeBron.

I think he's still a douche, but I can't deny how great he is. And I absolutely HATE Golden State. Everything about them. Their shitty fans, 3pt chucking, showboating, their players, coach, Steph's ugly daughter, everything. I DO appreciate Steph's mother, though. That's the only thing.

If I drove by their team bus and seen that it was on fire, i'd drive off without hesitating and pretend nothing happened.
