Why you never talk about the Muslim bother that was blackballed? That's real talk about putting your life and career on the line. Bill Russell, Ali cats like that that got death threats.
Lots of young cats like Russ doing big things in the community now, but for some reason you only mention Kobe and Jordan but not other stars from that era.
Anyway, lets hope LeBron filled up on Vibranium for the playoffs to prove the bubble ring wasn't a fluke.
I've talked about Craig Hodges on this board, Oscar Robertson opening free agency for players on this board, Wilt raising the pay for Black players in the league. Ive defended and promoted Black coaches and execs. Me and another poster were the only ones to mentioned the dwindling Black coaches and the concern they had about it. Why you aint talked about them dudes? All you promote is superficial bullshit like rings.
The only melenated players Ive seen you go out of your way not to clown for their physical appearance or professional career is Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, the 2 swirlers with the most white mainstream acceptance who yall cant tell me the Black people theyve helped. Youve even clowned Magic to prop up old ass white man Jerry West.
And the fact you dudes ARE light skinned, and may not even have Black spouses, thats not a good look.
Again, rings are worthless. Its not about rings now, its about exposing how racist and colorist this game is. Thats what Bron's future docs and legacy will be about, hes not MJ or Kobe, hes more than an athlete and is bigger than just bball (unlike them). Hopefully we see another FTP attack in the Finals this year cuz I have a point to prove.
Comments Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant made about the Trayvon Martin case have put him in the middle of a social media firestorm.
In an interview with the New Yorker, Bryant said black people should not immediately rush to the defense of a black person simply because of his or her race. He specifically criticized Lebron James and the Miami Heat for posting a photo wearing hoodies in solidarity with Martin's family, according to Colorlines.
"I won't react to something just because I'm supposed to, because I'm an African-American," he said. "That argument doesn't make any sense to me. So we want to advance as a society and a culture, but, say, if something happens to an African-American we immediately come to his defense? Yet you want to talk about how far we've progressed as a society?
"Well, we've progressed as a society, then don't jump to somebody's defense just because they're African-American. You sit and you listen to the facts just like you would in any other situation, right? So I won't assert myself."
George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch leader in Sanford, Fla., killed Martin, 17, in February 2012 as the boy was heading home from the store. Martin was wearing a hoodie at the time and that became a symbol of the Martin-Zimmerman story. In July 2013, Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges in connection with the shooting.

After this coon shit Kobe's handlers quickly had him do a photo op with Nipsey and Trayvons parents so he wouldnt lose his Black fanbase.
Thats why yall hate Bron so much hes shown how big a coon Kobe and MJ were.
