Why do haters pick on great players?

Why pick on MJ, LBJ, KB and other great players in the NBA? They are such good basketball players that can entertains us. Why not pick on benchwarmers and other NBA players who can't really dominate or play the game well like Kwame Brown or Brian Scalabrine???

    Mental game, son. If you get a team's best player to crack, they lose.

    Because there is No Argument if you hate on someone Like Kwame Brown. Everyone knows the guy is a bust, so doesn't make for much of a debate, and doesn't get a rise out of anyone, which is often what they are really looking for. Plus why hate on a Bum, that is Making 1000x more to sit on the bench, then you will make in your whole life. wouldn't that just kind of make you sad.

    They're small minded. They just wanna be in these great player's positions! They don't wanna ride the bench!
