lol

So now PG says that no other player is criticized as much as he is.

Lol I wouldn't go that far. He's top 10 though of active players (playoffs only) but he brought it on himself

 

[bksballer89]

Quite honestly, i think the outcome of game 6 is gonna be decided by the play of THIS man...

When did DeAndre Ayton bleach his skin?

I guess Barkley blasted him pretty good for it too. lol

Yep he did. Only thing I'll say is this new age criticism is different due to social media. Back in Barkley days all they had was sports talk radio when it comes to ways fans can voice their criticism so i think this era of players deal with more criticism only because of that reason

Yeah.

And PG actually deserves a large chunk of what he gets.

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah.

My only beef is i hate going back to saying pandemic P after a bad game or 2....now if he disappears in the big moments as he did last season then or goes MIA for an entire series then im fine with it

But even in this era...he's trying to say he's more criticized than, I don't know...Lebron?

If you expand to other sports, I'm not sure he'd even be top 10.

 

[Iggloo]

Lebron is easily the most criticized and scrutinized player.

 

[trojanfan12]

Yeah.

And PG actually deserves a large chunk of what he gets.

Yep, and saying stuff like that is why. lol

Yeah not top 10 if we are including other sports. Bron, Simmons, and Hatden at least are ahead of him for the nba

Durant gets more. Curry has gotten more, although not as much recently.

The better you are and the better your team is the more criticism you get.

Although, PG does have a point. All the other players he get criticized more are legit franchise superstars. He isn’t.

And even though it's pretty much all deserved, I'd add KD as well. Heck, Westbrook might be more criticized too.

Russ too. For sure.

But he seems like he wants to be treated like one and getting criticized is part of that.

@Chrisper4Prez Your Suns are going to the finals tomorrow. Redemption for 2007.

Both Pacers and Suns fans like ourselves know all about bullshit suspensions, but it’s also easy to forget you guys also had the Donaghy factor against you in 2007…

The NBA be righting some wrongs tomorrow with a big Suns win.

I don’t know about all that. I’d like for them to get to the finals because they’re a good team.

Oh yeah…

Fuck Donaghy and Horry

 

[ChrisperJ10]

Anytime someone had a great game in these playoffs, people were saying it’s better than any game James Harden has ever had… Lol now they’ve turned it into a meme.

 

[Heatles84]

lol

I don't think that PG could handle Skip Bayless being up his ass for even 15 minutes like Lebron has had the last 15 years.

 

[thunderc]

Suns going to end this tonight

 

[Black Adam]

We'll see, but it wouldn't exactly piss me off...

Lol @Skip Brainless. He still swears up and down Dak Prescott is just as talented as Patrick Mahomes...

Think he also put Josh Allen in the same light. Could be wrong on that one, though...
