NBA Pass/Fail: Kyrie Irving Leading Players Who Believe NBA Restart Is Bad Optics, others weigh in

Kendrick Perkins is a fool

So nobody knows what KD meant by calling him a sell out?

He was talking about him selling out the players as a former player

Yo this fool crying... "I still love you to this day.... My brother"

Talking about his wife cooking ox tails and shit... :lol:



 
Youre such a company man bro. :lol: Owners voted and decided when they play, not LeBron. Hes an employee. If he said he didnt want to play, itd be him getting crucified right now instead of Kyrie.

Kobes dead bro, you dont have to keep projecting Bron as more powerful than white NBA owners. If he had it like that you think he'd have 6 Finals losses? Do you believe racism and WS dont exist in the NBA?
Really, if Lebron led a walkout they would be crying to get him to the table. Bron is smart enough to get paid and spread the message. Walking fucks the CBA and would turn off a lot of fans.
 
I'm not thinking about Kyrie's feelings or concerns. Let's take the protests out of it for a moment. And yes, money is a big concern. But no one's talking about the real overriding issue - why is the NBA trying to get players to come to Florida, which has a high rate of COVID-19 cases (with more cases every day), in the middle of a pandemic, and stay for a few weeks? Yes, the league is taking precautions, but their methods aren't foolproof. This is the thing that everyone should be talking about.

Tearing up and shit

A few months ago he was shitting on KD, and now he's the victim saying he still loves him

I said the same thing when there was rumblings about them going to Florida for the rest of the season and playoffs...I makes absolutely no sense to go there, especially when the governor is suppressing the number of cases and deaths...

I don't like KD calling him sell out

If he did it to "protect Kyrie"

Thats worse

I don't use that sellout word easy.

Especially in public

And especially with the relationship they apparently have.

This is not what we need ti be doing

i was thinking about this yesterday...
I understand when they thought about doing this the numbers were down. All of us non-experts Kinda figured the numbers would climb but we didn’t know there would be police killings that change everything.
At the point I don’t even care if sports come back this year.
A couple weeks back I kinda chalked it up in my mind. There was one expert who felt the fall of 2021 would be the time, when large gather/event would be safe.
I sat back a thought about it, thought about the numbers who passed, I kinda agree. So that was went I chalked up the ideas and didn’t care.The only problem is all the people who make a living from these event. When your safely/health is compromised, it’s tough.

Florida's number never really dropped because the governor was caught lying about it around the middle of April or end of the month .That kinda got swept under the rug..And,the NBA still wants to go there....lol

I don't understand,why a league would still go to a state that blatantly lies about their cases in a pandemic...Going to California made more sense than going to Florida.

I guess it was centered around the idea of no state taxes and idea weather

I've never seen a league so incompetent....How can a league tell teams to have contingency plans yet don't have one once an outbreak breaks out in the bubble in that state..

The NBA aint no better than the rest of the bunch. What a stupid league...


:lol: :lol: :lol::lol::lol:

damn Florida or nothing
 
Only Orlando and Vegas has the facilities for the bubble environment the NBA is looking for. I dont know why they didnt pick Vegas but at this point I understand why its Orlando or bust.

The players should tell the NBA to get rid of the anthem standing bullshit. Or just get rid of the anthem celebration permanently.
No, this is not about the anthem. We've had to explain this to white folks for 4 years now.

You're correct that it is not about the anthem.

But there's a reason why Kaepernick chose the anthem as his moment of protest. There is no reason for that "patriotic" statist propaganda to be forced on us at the start of every basketball game.

It can't be the main thing but it would be worthwhile. And if the alternative is kneeling and protest, the league might actually do it.

What five more important things are the players asking for?

Jay Williams is right that on-site staff needs to be quarantined too. If they don't do that, there's no point in even trying.

I completely disagree.

We need to stop changing what the fight is about.

Kap didnt kneel so that they were forced to remove the anthem or the flag.

The confederate flag that inbreds fly in the South is a different deal and historically always will be. Its like if Germans started flying the Nazi flag before soccer games, talking about this is our history.

But we need to focus on whats REALLY affecting our communities and make strides that way. Whether it be police relations, education, jobs...

My community is not affected by whatever anthem they wanna play before NBA games.
 

:eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2:

Hold up Im actually shocked its that low.

Some football teams have more then that... ON ONE TEAM.

This is great news for the NBA.

I thought that initially but remember they aint start yet and these players were supposedly all socially distant

the bubble staff is not going to be quarantined

and Florida numbers overall are starting to get ridiculous

So this is not good BEFORE they even start

Nah fam, its the same all over.

Football season hasnt started yet either. They getting those numbers just from playing going back to campus or guys trying to do voluntary workouts. All these guys were supposed to do social distancing too and they wont be staying in a bubble, they will be free to go wherever whenever.

Strictly going by comparison, those numbers are great.
