It is the American way. We love to cheer you in the beginning, tear you down once you start winning too much, and then cheer you on again if you do happen to fall off of the top of the
mountain

It's a multitude of things that makes people not like the Warriors as a whole, most of which have already been mentioned. The straw that broke the camel's back was Durant signing with them IMO, but that's not Curry's fault. You can dislike Durant for frontrunning if you want, but the other 3 are homegrown players. It's not like they're going to tell him not to come. That's coming from someone that can't fricking stand the Warriors.

Now, Curry falling down like he just got taken out by a sniper after every jump shot... that I dislike.

To me, he seems to go cold when it matters.

You can make an argument that he is at best the 3rd best player if not 4th on his own team.

-KD is a better player.
-Klay is a top 5 all-time shooter and an elite defender.
-Draymond is a top defender, can stretch the floor, has good court vision, and is the emotional leader on the court.

I could see Steph/Draymond flipping 3 and 4, but KD and Klay are beter basketball players.

Golden State is my second favorite basketball team. I like their style of ball, BUT... Klay Thompson is my favorite player on that team. He has a better 3 point percentage than Steph, but that's because he sneaks out into his favorite spot while everyone is focused on steph and boom wide open 3.

Klay's 3 point percentage is better because of the offense and Steph. He doesn't take the same crazy shots Steph does.

Klay being better than Steph is laughable.
Klay is a 3 and D player. Klay can have a 8 point game and no one will even make a peep about it. Steph is held to a much higher standard than klay... and its bc he is much better than klay.

Because this is what people do. Build someone up just to be the first person to jump of the bandwagon and be first to say, “I don’t like him anymore”

I haven't heard a single person compare him to any of those players. Because they know it would be a ridiculous statement and they could not be taken seriously again.

He is a better shooter/scorer, but not a better player. You have to hide Steph on defense, and when you can't "see NBA finals" Steph's guy went off. Kerr would then switch Klay onto them and all of a sudden they were ice cold and then the guy Steph was on now was on fire.

If I have the choice between 2 top 5 shooters and one is a liability on defense and the other is elite then give me the elite guy.

His pube beard is why I dislike him.

Oh, and his annoying self-serving wife who craves attention.

I had to watch that douche bag torch my alma mater yearly at Davidson. Some of the best teams CofC has ever had!

It's like anything else. Fans build them up and then tear them down.

When he was giving Lebron the business everyone loved him. Once that's done though, now it's time to tear that guy down. It's a never ending cycle of who to tear down next.

Klay dribbles and passes at a 2 of 10 level.
Steph is like 10 of 10 handles and 7 or 8 of 10 with his passing. to be frank Steph can create offense klay relies on the gravity of Steph to get him open looks.

He actually doesn’t

Steph is a career 43.6% 3PT shooter
Klay is 41.9%
