All the retired nba players still in the limelight call today's nba week and hate on Steph Curry and his recent accomplishments. Today's top players also hate on Curry.

Meanwhile, the majority of nba fans love Curry and have seemed to take up for Curry during this current series. But, they are and were so quick to turn on top players like Lebron James and Kevin Durant when they've faltered in the past.

Who's right?

They're insecure about today's game or saying today's game is better so they bash it to make themselves and their peers seem better.

That's the harsh way of putting it. Generally, guys are always going to think their time was better, you can't blame them too much for that, they were right in it, it's hard to have a really objective viewpoint as a result.

Switch KD for Westbrook. KD has gotten more passes than any current superstar.

Can you provide examples? I hear the guy getting love from his fellow players all of the time.

Yea, not sure where he is going with that one, except for Westbrook recently. But that's a current opponent at the same position, and it's also Westbrook who speaks his mind.

I find that many older players clown on current players that are successful with a different approach or style of play then they played with. Typical cock envy.

Lebron's response to Curry receiving the unanimous mvp.

Durant and Westbrook laughing at the even thought of Curry's defense in last night's interview. It was in response to a reporter.

I hate Curry. But I can also admit that he's a good player. Best in the world currently? Hello no, his game is nowhere near as complete as Lebron's is.

Kevin Durant gets the biggest pass in this league while Westbrook absorbs all of the issues on that team.

When the thunder had an early exit from the playoffs the year of his mvp award, there were haters everywhere. I think that was the year the spurs beat Miami.

Lebron was right when he said the things he did. He's by and far miles more valuable to Cleveland than Steph is to Golden State. The Warriors are still a title contender without Steph, Cleveland is above average at best without LBJ.

Are you saying Lebron shouldn't speak the truth?

Yeah they're just jelly. They don't hate on guys like Carmelo and CP because they are of no threat to beat them out in awards and championships.

Is that really "hating on Curry" if he's just telling you in a roundabout way that he thinks he's the most valuable?

For Westbrook, yes.

Durant, no chance.

Maybe I'm just tired, but I have no idea what you're asking.

I think it's a little of both.
