Official 2019-2020 NBA Thread

I dunno what people really expected. I’m glad they boycotted yesterday & there’s no games today. It’s a history making moment. They are going forward gonna put themselves at the forefront of change. Hopefully they follow up & they know they will look bad if they don’t.... but let’s not fool ourselves into thinking these playoffs was about to be canceled after everything it took to get to this point.

I didn’t say it wouldn’t and How is play in the Bubble and writing Black Live matter on the court & wearing shirts pushing the issue to the forefront you telling me if it wasn’t no bubble that white ppl wouldn’t know about social justice and that the cops need to stop killing us ? You sound like a Pawn they know their wrong and what needs to change with or with out a NBA bubble. All kyrie was saying is u not about to play me like a Sucka I’m not be out here marching for equality then turn around and play in a bubble and Entertain you while y’all just going to turn around and do it again and look what happened they did it again. You don’t stop Racism by marching and saying black lives matter. You hit them where it hurts in the pocket because with out us this country don’t get far.

Kyrie wanted to go to the bubble to support the nets was told he couldn't, then it was "it's a distraction". So fuck what you guys talking about. I'm not addressing this shit no more.

Niggas boycotted a few hours & ready to wrap it up. This accomplishes nothing.

 

[Dwayne]

Lmao.

Some of y’all really think y’all know everything.

 

[Agent_Ro]

I guess they can continue to donate their time and money to help fight racism but I still think they should have had some demands met but whatever. Kap is still a hero and the face of hypocrisy of sports

 

[OnlyBuilt4CubanLinx]

At the end of the Day they know they can throw money at us to keep us quiet. And don’t @ me talking about NBA players talking about it what else is they supposed to do.

Nah it’s a step in the right direction to show what can happen in the future

 

[Agent_Ro]

So are they gonna boycott maybe 3 days worth of games when another unarmed black man is shot/killed by police? Because you know it’s gonna happen again

 

[FIRE BOBBY SLOWIK]

A lot of y’all commenting like you’re sitting in these meetings. Beyond a woj/shams tweet you don’t have no more info than the next man.

If you are going to take a stand go all the way. Sacrifices have to be made in the present; for the future and or following generations that will come after. Yes these dudes (probably many of them) live check to check unless you're a superstar but thats where a plan of how to sustain financially & support one another has to be constructed. You go for what these owners really care about and thats their bottom line: the money. This is a capitalist society, if you aren't playing these owners are not making the revenue and getting their pockets fatter and living divinely. You have to hit them where it hurts and boycotting with the potential to go even further would have been revolutionary. But these dudes from all accounts had no plan in mind and now we are here because they feel like playing and speaking out will bring more awareness. It isn't going to bring anything more than what they've already been doing.

I respectfully disagree brother. I keep forgetting you're Beta, pardon me I haven't really been here in a while lol

 

[Dwayne]

But they ain’t quiet.


They getting money throw at them now and still....


You know what. Nevermind

 

[Suckio Andretti]

I respectfully disagree brother. I keep forgetting you're Beta, pardon me I haven't really been here in a while lol

It’s all good man. I’m just giving my two cents I’m not even saying anything you’re saying is wrong

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

Speak on it.

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

It’s all good man. I’m just giving my two cents I’m not even saying anything you’re saying is wrong

I know. I just feel a bit triggered by all this lol

 

[Mister]

So you think it wouldn't happen again if they canceled the season?

 

[Mister]

Why mfers so quick to say shit like this?

First off they already did more than most of us here, me included, put together.

And second, unless mfers are gonna sacrifice their livelehoods along with the players, dont judge them for not wanting to take it that far.

And i dont care if they millionaires and we living pay check to pay check. Everyone got shit to lose. Lets stop judging mfers for not making sacrifces we aint willing to make.

Cause if everyone that wants social justice goes on strike tomorrow and stops paying their bills, change will come on Monday. But we aint willing to sacrifice so lets cut other mfers some slack for not wanting to take it that far.

Again.

Hearing a whole lot of talk about how the Milwaukee players took everybody by surprise by boycotting yesterday's game.





Think there's a little bit more to the story though.


My theory, and it's just a theory, is that the Bucks players caught wind that the Clippers and Lakers were going to boycott............AFTER ...........the Bucks and Magic already played their game.


Making the Bucks look bad in the process by not doing it first since the Blake shooting happened in their state...........and also giving Lebron all the credit for the players boycotting.


Basically, the Bucks saw how they were about to get set up for the okeydoke.........








and got the jump on the other teams instead by not falling for it.
