The Truth
Favorable treatment because hes actually exciting to watch, always seem to be the underdog somehow, a genuinely nice and humble guy (no fake humble), has a great fam apparently, never really whines or complains, strong in faith, goes to a different beat than everybody else, etc.???


Has nothing to do with skin color... Thats dumb as fukk. Dude was always written off even when they sucked and he would go off..

He's just a likeable, unassuming person

Casuals love Steph

they also have a very slanted, at times downright false perception of reality thx to media protection/the agenda to push the Warriors

Curry receives no criticism because he wasn't projected to be this good. He was injured early in his career and the first major breakout season he had he won the championship. Then the very next season he breaks the regular season wins record. Then the third season Kevin Durant joins and dims his spotlight.

Lebron, Melo, CP3, etc had to play through with a lot of growing pains WHILE they were allstars/superstars and were projected to be such early in their careers.

Curry doesn't get the criticism for a few reasons, but the most prevalent is that his ceiling wasn't supposed to be this high. He looked impressive during those Davidson runs, lead the NCAA in scoring his last year and all that, but he was injured and inconsistent af his first few seasons (And even then he was serviceable with 17/4/5 and 18/3/5 in his first two seasons) . It wasn't til after that first All Star Snub and him going off for 50+ in MGS, the Nuggets playoff comeback against Iggy & co. that people started thinking otherwise. Then he started improving each season after, until his Superstar Explosion came during the season his team took a major leap and they won a chip.

If GS doesn't win the championship this season,Durant will be the fall guy.

Hell yeah Curry is protected.....

1.Iggy won 2015 finals mvp,not Curry

2.It took Curry 6 games to beat a Irvingless and Loveless Cavs team

3.Curry won 73 games,but not the championship,and blew a 3-1 lead on top of it.

4.Curry's wife said the games were fixed.

Imagine if this was Jordan,Kobe or Lebron ?
