I’m gonna teach you guys a little lesson I learned from a few lawyers once. If you want to make a case against corruption or anything unjust, you need to make sure the client you’re going to put in front of the jury is absolutely immaculate. CP3 is not that guy. This is basically a battle of two assholes. People in the larger picture won’t give a shit, and the people giving a shit now are only doing it as a reactive response.
What has CP3 actually done to make people talk about him like this? You’d swear he’s miles fkcn bridges the way people rip on his character

Looking through those, not very compelling evidence that cp3 is a dirty player imo. Most of those are nothing or incidental
I think the biggest reason people hate Chris is that he is profoundly uncool.
He is a state farm guy.
He cares way too much. Even when he doesn’t need too.
He thinks he’s outsmarting his opponents when in reality his advantage is immaterial or counter acted by the fact he is being annoying and has earned people ill will. This includes some of dirty play.
Like Jordan he clearly wants to push everyone to care like him. Which is annoying at best if you don’t have Jordan’s rings
He enjoys and pushes people to do stuff like bowling.
Dude is just annoying. Never mind he might be the greatest player under 6 foot of all time.
