Most of it seems to be based off of inopportune nut punching.

I find this mildly endearing, but maybe it's something that can only be appreciated if you're similarly filled with a simmering rage at constantly being surrounded by taller people with less basketball IQ than you. We all have our burdens!

Clippers cp3 had games where every possession he either flopped or yelled at the ref. He has calmed down considerably since then.

I find Jake from State Farm's formless biceps to be extremely off-putting and the only salve is CP3's genuine acting abilities. At least he doesn't mumble his way through a commercial like Mahomes and Rodgers.

but whenever Giannis is posted online every comment is “how can you hate this man” when I never actually see the hate

How can anyone hate CP3? He's short and petty and his commercials are actually mildly funny.

How dare you say anything nice about State Farm commercials. They are the bane of everyone's existence.

The State Farm commercials are a little more amusing to me now knowing that Paul and Harden hated each other

Also Paul and DeAndre Jordan?

As much as I'd like to come in here at bitch about Basketball Reasons, CP3 to LAL (who would lose Gasol and Odom in the deal) probably wouldn't have led to any more rings for Kobe, as much as we Lakers fans would like to believe.

The season after the Great Fuckening by David Stern was Dallas' win over Miami. Kobe, CP3, and Bynum (if he was still motivated) might have been a problem for Dallas, but who knows what the roster would have looked like in subsequent months after the trade went through. After that was Miami x2, then it was that great Spurs run, then Golden State exploded (before KD).

Unless there was some move after Kobe + CP3, I'm not sure using my delorean to go back and delete Basketball Reasons would have led to more ringzz.

I mean, after the CP3 trade, they still had all of the pieces that they moved in the trade for Dwight

Who do you see as the current 6th man frontrunners? I think Jordan Clarkson has to be in there, averaging 17 points off the bench on the best team in the league, but maybe there are better candidates.

Getting a combined 23 games out of Oladipo and Lavert certainly doesn't help

I'm CP3 fan #1 on this forum but I totally acknowledge he's a very dislikable player sometimes and it's not a mystery as to why.

I also agree with Metapod that he whined a LOT more during the LA days, though. I kinda think it's a mixture of age and the fact that he probably got humbled by some of the aforementioned playoff collapses and whatnot.

it's probably also that he played with harden and saw what that kind of player looks like from the outside

i didn't like the bad poo poo cp3 did before we got him and now he doesn't do it, and obviously my judgement is biased but this year, in a vacuum, he's not really hateable.
