I defend him because I don't like fans talking poopoo, and talking down to our own player. It's pathetic. I've seen people question his heart for the game.. I've seen people even suggest he was mentally retarded....MULTIPLE TIMES. Not saying it's anyone from here, but I have seen it. So when people are quick to bash our players and root against them, that's not cool at all.
For example, I was extremely upset at that Papagiannis pick. Now, I'm excited about him. What else can we do but root for him, now that he's a King? Hating our own players isn't going to change anything.
Ridiculing a 23yearold player because he didn't live up to draft expectation is dumb and childish imo.
I don't care if someone puts me on their "ignore" list. All because I decide to stick up for Ben? yeah. ok.
