No bitch. You do.

Skinning, grinning, and calling another Black man a nigga while entertaining a room full of laughing white folk is textbook coon shit. Black ass ebonic talking country nigga. The preponderance of his antics reside in buffoonery category. The shit in the clip was fucking cringe. Kid seems to be regressing in his maturity as he ages and it should be the opposite.

I get this point of view. And i agree in a general application. I just disagree as it applies to certain colloquial speech in mixed company. I wouldnt hold certain conversation before certain audiences nor would i engage in certain language before certain audiences. We have a complicated and unique history and experience so i get nuanced opinions on the usage itself. But the dynamic of being a Black entertainer, already tasked with entertaining white masses, using it as the only Black face surrounded by laughing white ones is shameful.

His generation wasn't taught properly.

and now his ass has money and fame so that furthers it.
 
Wait a minute...
Starbury isn't in the basketball HOF???

I thought he was in! That's crazy... dude is a legend in China after having a serviceable career here in the States and NBA.

He most definitely should be in, I agree 100%

Dickeaters like this Oreo cookie spent the last decade belittling the greatest player ever and his fans. He now says Stephon Marbury is 100% a HOFer. :rolleyes:

Lil nigga can't tell us one playoff series or moment ALL NBA fans remember Steph for, but a HOFer? HOF Underachiever. Look man, we all love Starbury sneakers and the fact he made them affordable, but just like Mikey, yall are conflating your love for a man's shoe line with his actual basketball skills and accolades.

If you go in any old Stephon Marbury thread on this board you will see very little basketball being discussed. And there's a reason for that, he wasn't very good at it in the NBA. Teams literally paid him not to play at the end. This code yall got where you overrate people born in the 60's and 70's and lie for their legacies must stop. It's great that dude find a niche in China, but hes an underachiever in the NBA.

Good gawd man this was a very thoughtful honest intelligent introspective take, one of the best I've ever heard on here.
 
Thats a reasonable argument. But a wrong one. It isnt about tailoring speech for white acceptance. Its refraining to use certain speech for their entertainment or enjoyment. I have a level of comfort and familiarity with folk here and communicate a certain way.. I wouldnt dare take that level of discourse to certain environments. Place and time and societal awareness are important.

I shit on everyone without geographical bias. Its all person specific. Have you seen how i talk to @Dr. Truth ?
Did you get your Pusha t bobble head? You bitch ass nigga you
 
This is what I been talking about, this is the opposite of 90% of the discussions had in this thread, no hate, no tearing players down. Just ball.

To clarify I like the rivalry and in season shit talk, but the non stop goat discussion and career slander is nauseating.

Take note.



Also everyone please ban @KingTaharqa the shit head LeBron stalqua and improve this thread!

Nah.. this thread has healthy amount of shit talk, game talk, and sports discourse. Don't reduce it to nonsense. TV sports talk is what you seem to be describing.

I mentioned in my comment that I enjoy everything you mentioned but there's certain members who will highjack three or four pages in a row to go back in forth with the usual suspects and it just derails the thread that is otherwise fine.

I was being hyperbolic when I said 90% because it annoys me to no end. :giggle:

Also I probably threw in without mentioning the discourse on Twitter/YouTube/Reddit when making my comment, that has to be the biggest cesspool of dummies in all of sports lol
 
Dude that was in here posting bout LeBron's son to troll gotta pretend he don't see Bron and JJs clips being posted on all the bball sites today. Looking ass nigga. :lol:

GOAT talk only became a problem when MJ got exposed as a lying fraud. Now it's not favorable to compare him to GOAT James. Every BGOL NBA seaaon thread prior to this one got 1,000s of troll posts to Bron. If it was left up to Bron haters, this wouldn't be happening right now. Skip Bayless and JJ Barea memes were posted in here to start the season.
 
Bruised ego

I mean I saw he hit him with his hand, but he hit him hard enough to check for a concussion
