You are only exacerbating the problem. I don't dislike Hansbrough any more than I dislike any other UNC player but it is hard to feel that way when you read articles like this. You need another article as an example of why people hate Tyler Hansbrough? I know you do. Here's one. She sounded as only a member of the dance team at a Deep South flagship state university can.
She had just enough brass in her voice -- a voice that will serve her well when she's managing accounts, analyzing financials or selling McMansions in five years -- to seem perfectly justified in her intrusion on the quiet time of a campus legend. This writing is courtesy of Andy Staples.
First off, North Carolina is not the motherfucking Deep South. If the South begins in Virginia, there are three states below it. Check out a map or an atlas or google "map of the United States" and see where it is located in relation the rest of the fucking United States, then re-write this sentence.
This cheerleader could be getting married to a successful person and raising children, telling the Women's Liberation Movement to go fuck itself, just because she goes to UNC doesn't mean Finance is the career path she will choose. I just wanted to give this person other options that don't involve a stereotype of women being successful and career driven if they graduate college from UNC.
Or I could just be bitter and not like UNC. Take your pick. North Carolina's all-time leading scorer wore the same expression he always wears before he pours another gallon of sweat onto the hardwood. Right now I am having a cliche overdose. This sentence is the penultimate sentence on why people hate Tyler Hansbrough, because journalists write shit like this sentence about him all the time. All the time. If anyone doesn't dislike Hansbrough read this sentence three times.
You will dislike him at the end of the third time. He averages 30 minutes per game, all of them hard fought, just like every other college athlete in the country. He just looks like he is working harder because he is spastic and overdoes absolutely everything.
He probably gasps and throws his body up against the wall when he is taking a piss I also wonder if Hansbrough is pouring his own sweat on the court in this cliche or sweat he has collected from other people? Or as Gregg Doyel would say, he put up something approaching 20 points and ten rebounds.
Even though Jordan's presence somehow inspired Hansbrough to channel the spirit of Jordan's former Bulls teammate Craig Hodges -- Hansbrough made his 11th and 12th career 3-pointers in the first half I am sure Michael Jordan's presence made Tyler Hansbrough immediately think of an obscure teammate of Jordan's, Craig Hodges, and Hansbrough was so inspired by this thought he started just making three pointers.
It always happens like that. Hansbrough's brain is always working in the form of Six Degrees of Michael Jordan to get inspiration. I am sure Andy Staples is a grand guy but the beginning of this article is exactly why people hate Tyler Hansbrough.
Writers use cliched cliches to describe his effort level all the time and the love for him is never ending from writers. This guy explains exactly why others hate Tyler Hansbrough. He is of course able to do it more eloquently than I do. First of all, style of play. It's worth mentioning. Watching Hansbrough is not fun or entertaining or aesthetically enjoyable. It's just ugly. It is beyond ugly. Whether it is ugly jump shot, watching him glide across the lane turn sideways and throw up a shot in hopes of drawing a foul, watching him flop on the court when hit by an opposing player when the same contact doesn't prevent him from getting an offensive rebound, or his shot-put attempt at a layup, watching Hansbrough is ugly.
He is also incredibly effective as well. But that really doesn't get to the heart of the matter. The real reason why people loathe Tyler Hansbrough is much simpler, much less psychological. People dislike Tyler Hansbrough because the media loves him. This, in a nutshell, is pretty much the entire truth. I also don't really like him because the media does portray him as a guy who does things the right way, yet he has a tendency to pout when a foul is called against him and he also tends to do borderline technical foul type antics when a call does not go his way.
This past Sunday he got called for an offensive foul, screamed at the referee who made the call, and then held the ball under his arm as he walked down the court bitching the entire time. He also failed to draw a charge earlier in the game and convulsed his body on the floor in anger. Since Tyler Hansbrough does everything overblown, it was quite noticeable.
Shockingly the media never seems to talk about his tendency to pout when he doesn't get a foul call his way, they just think he is just being a competitor. Understatement of the year. Of course what doesn't Dick Vitale like? This is the same guy who spends a good portion of a television broadcast actually not talking about the game that is occurring, so it could reasonably be said that he has never actually paid attention to what is going on when Hansbrough plays.
And of course Vitale is the worst offender; even as his supporters admit that Hansbrough's game likely isn't suited for the NBA, Vitale uses broadcast time to dare NBA teams to pass on the player. It's insane. He did the same thing with J. Redick when even the most diehard Duke fan knew that any time an athletic guy could stay with Redick he was going to be shut down.
Honestly, Sheldon Williams failing was more of a shock than Redick failing to Duke fans. As far as Hansbrough, he could be a contributor on a playoff team and there would be nothing wrong with that. I would use a late round 1st round pick on him, but the way Dick Vitale refuses to acknowledge any chink in the armor of these college guys is horrible analysis Fans, whether rationally or not, turn that disconnect into disgust.
This is pretty much how it is with Tyler Hansbrough. I chalk it up to the announcers that networks like ESPN hire who don't necessarily feel like it is their job to call a game and then analyze that game, but to hype up the game so the viewer feels like they are watching the greatest game EVER. Dick Vitale is the absolute best example of this. He seems like a great person but he uses so much hyperbole when talking about players, when he is actually paying attention, he is pretty much unlistenable.
The unfortunate part is that Tyler Hansbrough can't do anything about the people who fawn over him. Try some decaf already! Nobody likes someone who plays like he's been on a Rockstar IV drip for days, who gulps every court second like it's his last breath, who looks like he's going to rip a hammy just putting on his socks, all for the price of a scholarship he didn't need anyway.
So what if, as he says, "I feel about 90 years old" as a result? And who cares if the reason behind the hustle is his brother, Greg, who might've been the best athlete in the family were it not for the tennis-ball-size brain tumor he got when he was 7. Removing it left him partially paralyzed on the left side, and yet Greg played hoops in high school and has run three marathons, one-sided. Which is why it's weird that he notices everything.
Like the time somebody yelled, "Why'd you shoot Bambi's mom, Hansbrough? What's a little bent is that he likes hearing, "F—you, Hansbrough! His favorites are usually at Duke. The big dope was stupid to come back for his senior season! Who turns down all that NBA cash? Why would somebody want to play on a team that has a chance to be the first undefeated national champion in 33 years, become the No.
Possibly true, but it won't be for lack of trying. He's in bed by 11 p. He begins lifting an hour before his teammates and finishes with them.
He shoots more midrange jumpers in practice than Shaq has taken in his career. He works like an OCD patient on his free throws he's made straight in practice. Not to mention his 54 percent field goal shooting, or His 1, rebounds are a school record, and his 2, points are still tops in ACC history.
