In a world where the NBA is dominated by play makers, there’s a lot of competition and a lot of hatred flowing freely. As an avid Cleveland sports fan, I back the Cavs (even though basketball isn’t my favorite sport), so this might make my article a little biased. But, to be honest, I would likely hate the Golden State Warriors regardless of the freshly sprung rivalry between them and the Cavs. I’m a girl who hates cocky players and players who play dirty. I’ve always been a firm believer that you should let your playing and your talent do the talking for you, rather than running your mouth and being full of yourself (I know this is true of a lot of athletes, but bear with me). With that being said, let me tell you the top reasons that I hate the Warriors:
1. They’re really just a bunch of crybabies
One time, Golden State fans called Lebron James a crybaby, but I don’t know how they can throw that insult around when their team is chock full of crybabies. Zaza Pachulia, Draymond Green, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant… must I continue? Any time something goes awry or they don’t get their way, they whine like a teething baby. At least Lebron has embraced his crybaby status (check out Intel’s 360 replay commercial).
2. Zaza Pachulia’s attack on Iman Shumpert’s manhood
Did y’all watch game four this year? Did y’all watch Zaza punch Iman Shumpert in his man parts? If not, here’s a link to the video.
3. Draymond Green
Draymond Green is probably my least favorite basketball player in the world; he claims that he’s “a lot smarter than people think,” but I don’t know how smart a person who consistently aims for other men’s groins can really be. He also talks a lot of garbage on Cavs fans instead of just silencing them with his playing. Most of his comments are just rude, and he has a big mouth on the court but doesn’t always back it up. If you’re gonna talk a big game, you’ve gotta play it, too.
4. Steph Curry’s Mouthpiece
Put. The. Dang. Mouthpiece. In. Your. Mouth.
5. Steve Kerr
Okay, maybe I don’t hate the guy, but he really couldn’t bring himself to coach a game with some back pain? What’s that all about? I’ve had my back completely out of place, yet I’ve gone to work where I stood on my feet for eight hours a day and I didn’t complain about it. Suck it up.
I know that there are a ton of people who hate the Cavs, too, and that’s totally okay! Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but dang. I could never root for a team led by a baby-faced point guard (who doesn’t even go by his real name, which is Wardell, for reference) or ball-tapping backups. I just couldn’t. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of talent on that team, but there’s also a lot of attitude. Anyway, see you next year, Warriors.
