Andre Iguodala "What would a dumb nigga say"?
- Thread starter egatsby
- Start date
Cant wait to see these clowns lose again in the playoffs
so is the reason why obama won because of the non voters to??? when the president you want gets selected do u blame the non voters for failing to vote against him or do you only use that excuse when the person you want in office fails to do so???
Why would that embarrass you?I don't get it, why did he say that shit. It was embarrassing.
I saw that shit on ESPN as a headline
It's definitely something going on behind the scenes there....
Did he say do what Masa say??
Did he say do what Masa say??
So if voting doesn't matter then why do you care whether we do it or not?
At this moment he knew he was on the trade block! no pun
Gotta be some locker rim problems. He's acting like he heard someone saying some click shot and airing them out in his own way. Kind of looked like he was dissapointed too. Maybe I'm reading into it too deep from what I saw.
Exactly it's always some dumb ass saying voting don't matter. Where I live there are tons of Blacks voted into shit. What we need to do is vote folks in and hold their ass to the fire. Just like places like Ferguson that's all black but whites voted into shit. Wtf that don't even make sense. Politician don't do what we want vote they ass out. White do it alllll the time especially with that tea party group. They got together and voted a lot of far rights into positions.
I'm the same way, don't even try to complain or talk to me if you didn't vote. You lost your voice back in December when you didn't vote.
We rarely get the candidate we want. But that's no reason not to vote. By not voting people voted against their best interest. Hillary may not have been the best option but people see now she would've been a far sight better than what we have now. This shit were now forced to deal now didn't have to happen. Our people need to learn how to see the big picture. Its not about what we want its about whats best.
They steady screaming voting doesn't matter. And when I ask them that question they either "don't answer or look at me dumbfounded". Why are you so "vested" in me "not voting"??? Why do you want to stop me from doing something that makes no difference? (according to you). I can waste my time however I choose to.
Yep if the candidate I vote for never wins I'm ok with that. My ancestors had to fight for my right to vote. That's why i vote.
I have a feeling Golden State ain't winning the championship this year, they seem to be off. Something ain't right.
I should have known
Golden State Warriors' Andre Iguodala makes racial comments in post-game interview
Golden State Warriors sixth man Andre Iguodala appeared frustrated after his team's loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, when he made some race-related comments to a group of reporters.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr announced his decision on Friday night to sit out starters Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson for their Saturday game, after the team suffered a 103-102 loss in Minnesota on Friday night.
In a post-game interview, Iguodala shared some interested comments when asked about Kerr's decision.
When a reporter asked what had caused the Warriors loss, Iguodala responded saying, "We gotta score more than the other team. Yep, they want dumb n—s, so I'm going to give y'all a dumb n—."
https://www.aol.com/article/news/20...ndre-iguodala-makes-racial-comments/21880077/
Iguodala continued, saying, "What would dumb n—s say? 'Just play harder. Figure it out. Change gonna come.' You know what we used to say. Change gonna come."
While it can be assumed that Iguodala was referring to Kerr in using the term "master," as Marc. J. Spears writes for The Undefeated, the player's statement was "quite confusing."
"It can be implied that by using the word 'master,' short for slave master, Iguodala is speaking of Kerr," Spears writes. "Iguodala is extremely intelligent and very methodical with his words. There is always a method to his madness. Even though the 2015 NBA Finals MVP knows what he's saying and is often calculated, this statement was quite confusing."
The Warriors have gone 2-3 since Kevin Durant's XX injury against the Washington Wizards.

MINNEAPOLIS -- After the Golden State Warriors' 103-102 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, coach Steve Kerr announced he would be sitting Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala for Saturday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs.
Kerr said his decision was strictly due to health concerns and the fact the Warriors will have been on the road for seven of their past eight games.
Four other NBA teams were dealt a similar stretch this season by league schedule-makers -- Atlanta, Portland, Sacramento and the Los Angeles Lakers -- but Golden State was the only team of those five asked to make two cross-country flights within the eight-game run that ends with the San Antonio date.
It means the Warriors will face the Spurs without four members of their original starting five, with Kevin Durant already sidelined because of a knee injury.
"We're going to get [to San Antonio] at 3 a.m.," Kerr said. "Those guys are all playing big minutes, and this would give them three days before our home game, and then we'll have a whole week at home next week and a chance to get recharged.
"It's my call, and it's the right thing to do in terms of the way the season is playing out and the way the minutes have gone and KD's injury. It's the right thing to do, so we're doing it."
Iguodala, one of the league's top sixth men, was asked whether he knew before Friday's game that Kerr would be resting him against the Spurs.
"Nope, no clue," he said. "I do what master say."
The comment drew a swift and angry response on social media, with some interpreting it as a shot at Kerr. Iguodala later clarified his remark to ESPN, saying it was in no way a shot directed at Kerr and that it was only an inside locker room joke.
"Me and Steve are cool," Iguodala told ESPN. "[People] can think what they want to think."
San Antonio also will not be at full strength against Golden State.
Earlier Friday, the Spurs ruled out forward Kawhi Leonard for Saturday's game after he suffered an apparent head injury Thursday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder and entered the league's concussion protocol. Point guard Tony Parker is questionable because of a stiff back.
What was supposed to be one of the better games of the season, featuring the top two teams in the Western Conference, has turned into a letdown.
And in terms of letdown, the Warriors felt the officiating in Friday's game let them down. In the locker room, players were discussing multiple calls they believed unfairly went against them.
Iguodala was so frustrated, he blurted out another controversial, racially insensitive comment when asked about what led to this loss.
"We gotta score more than the other team," he told reporters. "Yep, they want dumb n----s, so I'm going to give y'all a dumb n----."
Then asked whether the team issues run deeper than just scoring baskets, Iguodala responded, "What would dumb n----s say? 'Just play harder. Figure it out. Change gonna come.' You know what we used to say. Change gonna come."
As bizarre as that exchange was, Green wouldn't be outdone. He waited for approximately 45 minutes before addressing the media.
"That's a long time," he said. "I contemplated for a long time whether I was just going to give the 25 [thousand dollars] up and wash my hands with it. I'm going to go buy myself a nice watch tonight with that $25,000 I thought about spending tonight. I'm going to post it on Twitter. Not Twitter, Instagram or Snapchat. I'm going to go buy myself a nice gift for the discipline I showed tonight."
The discipline he was alluding to was not going off on the referees and not receiving a potential $25,000 fine.
"How I get a technical for trying to stop continuation?" Green said, speaking of his third-quarter tech. "I don't know. I guess I got to play by different rules than the rest of the NBA. That one really sticks with me. What's that, my 11th tech? Thirteen? Damn. How many do I really got is the question? I don't know. Different set of rules."
The Warriors were hit with a questionable late-game call that sent Andrew Wiggins to the line for a pair of free throws that put the Timberwolves up for good. Wiggins attacked the glass, and Zaza Pachulia and Green challenged the shot. There was little contact, but Pachulia was hit with the foul, his sixth and final. Kerr said he didn't see a foul. Green agreed.
"I was right there," Green said. "I went vertical. I thought about taking a fine tonight. I really did. I truly thought about taking a fine tonight. But I'm not wasting my $25,000."
Players were joking that Iguodala might have a fine coming his way. Even Matt Barnes said "Whoa" when he got word of Iguodala's comments.
Friday's loss was the Warriors' fourth in their past six games, but they still own the league's best record at 52-13. San Antonio holds the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference and sits 1½ games behind Golden State.

Coach Steve Kerr on Iguodala’s comments: “You guys just got Andre’d”

Steve Kerr and Andre Iguodala have a close relationship, Kerr may be closer to him than anyone else on the team.
Iguodala also occasionally likes to create a little controversy. Which is what Iguodala did when asked Friday night about Kerr’s plans to rest him, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green for a nationally televised game against the Spurs Saturday.
“Do what master say… What would dumb (N-word) say?
It became a firestorm on Twitter and was even discussed by Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy during the game Saturday night (both chastising Iguodala).
What did Kerr think? Via Chris Haynes at ESPN.
Cryptic? I would say Iguodala has a history of passive-aggressive comments aimed at coaches, management, and whoever else he may be frustrated with. So it shouldn’t be a shock some thought there was more to this comment than the inside joke he — and seemingly most of the Warriors — seemed to see it as.
Now with Kerr’s comments, this likely all dies down and goes away. This was an inside joke. But make no mistake, Iguodala knew what he was doing and what the reaction would be, and he was just good with it.

“You guys just got Andre’d,” Kerr said to a group of reporters prior to Saturday’s 107-85 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. “You got Andre’d.”
“Andre is one of those guys who likes to stir the pot and has a lot of cryptic messaging at times,” Kerr said. “[He] jokes around. I didn’t take anything from it. It’s just Andre being Andre.”

People underestimate how hard it is to go to 3 straight Finals. Thats not something that happens often. I still think they have an easy path to win it all.
exactly....
Saw this on the front page of NBA.com a few days ago, but never clicked the link.
"Andre'd" by some racial shit, during a time whereas race is still a big issue. I dont know about all that. But either Andre is a dumb nigga, something is going on, or he's just an attention whoring weirdo.
Or...it could just be a locker room joke. I wouldnt be shocked with "I dont know what I am" Steph, light & bright Klay, then Draymond "Wesley Snipes" Green. They probably do race/skin jokes on the regular. Corny shit like that is probably funny to them.

How many finals have Bron been in?
He's gone to 6 straight. Only the 2000 Lakers, 90s Bulls, 80s Lakers, 80s Celtics, and 60s Celtics have gon to 3 straight.
At what point do we agree he's the greatest?
Might just be frustration. They put all their eggs into one basket and that basket sitting on the sideline with a messed up knee. Golden State fucked with a team that lost 9 regular season games! Yeah they choked in the end but thats a helluva chemistry to mess with. Despite Kevin's greatness they knew it was a "risk" and now they're seeing the down side. If you ever played on a basketball team you know about the grumblings and second guessing of everything that goes on in the background when things turn sour even slightly. Shit! some dudes be hating when things going fine waiting for the day when things get fucked up. You better believe not everyone was happy that the team had to change when Durant came in and their present struggles just bringing that shit to the surface.
They got him for 10 g's.

Conservation Black Christian Mark Jackson gave us these Curry Klay Warriors.
Not Kerr.
Kerr inherited a team and won a championship the same year.
The next year. Walton coached the team to a record breaking record while Kerr was layed up. They didn't win it all.
Year three. Kerr is gifted Durant. Warriors were rollin until Durant goes down.
Does Kerr have an answer.
"Come on guys, play harder."
Iggy is telling us that Massa's only response to their current situation. "Play harder."
