I know you fact checked and seen that it was true. To answer your question absolutely not because he’s not asked to carry the load like Trae.

You can't say "fuck _______ " anymore ? We do it on here all the time. Or is the issue that Bill Simmons is a White dude with a large platform that's doing it?

So he's not allowed to give his opinion cause he has a vote?
Just trying to understand.
If it's "fuck bill Simmons cause he's shitting on my rook" that's cool too.
Maybe if he didn't have a history of subtle racist shit he's gone on record to say, this isn't probably news
But he's also a sports personality and it's not like Joe Budden or an entertainer with a podcast saying "fuck insert sports figure name'

What subtle racist shit has he said exactly?
Again... just trying to understand. I couldn't give af about Bill Simmons.
These media people stay complaining about All Star voting by the fans, we need to consider a change with how they for MVP and other awards

Man wtf is this shit?
I dont rock with Bill Simmons at all, and now I have another reason not too.
Let a Celtics rookie average 6 points a game and he'd be riding him.
Bill Simmons draws criticism for Harden-Doncic passing comparison
It didn’t go over well on NBA Twitter when The Ringer’s CEO tried to argue that Luka Doncic was a superior passer to James Harden.
rocketswire.usatoday.com
Veteran NBA writer and podcaster Bill Simmons drew criticism Monday after an odd comparison involving the passing abilities of Houston Rockets star James Harden and Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic.
Doncic had 36 points, 19 assists, and 14 rebounds in his team’s overtime victory over Milwaukee on Saturday night, and his late pass to Maxi Kleber for the pivotal dunk has understandably drawn attention.
For Rockets fans, the play probably looked familiar. After all, there’s a reason the 21-year-old Doncic has regularly drawn comparisons over his first two NBA seasons (in a positive way) to the 30-year-old Harden.
Both guards are in the NBA’s Top 10 in assists per game this season, with Doncic at 8.9 and Harden at 7.5. Harden is the better scorer, at 34.3 points per game as compared to 29.1 this season for Doncic.
Overall, the two All-Stars appear to have somewhat similar playing styles and abilities. On paper, that should be quite a compliment to the second-year Doncic, considering that Harden has been an MVP finalist for four consecutive years — including his victory in 2018.
Simmons, however, felt the need to go a step further. During a new podcast with Ryen Russillo, The Ringer‘s CEO said this as part of a discussion comparing Doncic to Hall of Famer Larry Bird:
That opinion was widely condemned on social media, including by numerous fans with no connection to Harden or the Rockets.
take this shit to the NBA thread lol

I don't see it. He didn't seem to drag harden to compliment Luka. But if that makes him racist ok.

Bill Simmons is from Boston, to me, thats his first strike.
But he also has a habit of using dog whistles.
He blamed some shit Bron did on the lack of a father.
He let white Ryan Russilo thank him for giving oppurtunities to black people. Evem though the diversity % of the ringer is one of the lowest of any media entity.
The few black people that did work from him came out and said the environment was super uncomfortable for black people.
The list goes on and on.
Im not trying to convince anyone that Bill Simmons is a racist. Im also not trying to convince anyone to not fuck with Bill Simmons.
I just seen enough to where I dont fuck with Bill Simmons.

You can say “Fuck whoever” and stand on that if/when you see them.
I don’t think he’d be on some Fuck Jalen Green shit if JG is present. He’d articulate his point respectfully.
If he said “Fuck scoring 40 points” I have no issue, but saying fuck Jalen Green because you trying to justify your vote nasty to me. Especially coming from a cac
So he needs to dress like thisI don't see it. He didn't seem to drag harden to compliment Luka. But if that makes him racist ok.
and say the N word I see…
