The Golden State Warriors are polarizing. They have won three titles in the last four years and seem to have assembled a near replica of the 1992 Dream Team. Except that team won gold medals, this team wins NBA championships.
LeBron James and wherever he goes is polarizing. His streak of eight straight finals has come to an end this season but he generates both love and hate.
As it pertains to sports, fans tend to hate the greats. Fans hate the ones who are “unfair” or “too good.” As a result, fans dramatically root for their failures or shortcomings.
