onila: I hrd carmelo anthony was laughing throughout the game. .shame on him, its not funny

Carmelo is a loser. He is the type of guy who will shine if someone else is providing the leadership (LeBron, Kobe, Paul, Durant).

But where did he lead his Knicks to over the past two seasons? First round exits

He can be laughing at Nigeria now, Nigeria will be laughing at him in the 2012-2013 season when his Knicks get beaten up in the postseason...AGAIN

Carmelo ko, marshmellow ni

You should be considered that one guy that was drafted in 2012...I think by the warriors or clippers? i can't remember his name...igbo dude

EzeUche: Just imagine if the team was full of Eastern Nigerian players such as Emeka Okafor, Kelenna Azubuike, Ekpe Udoh, Ime Udoka and Andre Iguodala.

Now that would have been a ball game.

Eh.

Okafor sucks and probably peaked in 2005, 2006.

Azubuike has a bad knee.

Ekpe Udoh is pretty bad.

Ime Udoka is OLD and cannot guard anyone.

Igoudala's father is from Edo.

Lol

You don't know how to put together a team, bruh

MsDarkSkin: U just make sure u dont lose ur game by 83 points lmao...FOH.

Look at this little trick. Lol. Pathetic

Anyway, rather than talking here, I should probably go get some hooping in myself.

I will probably lose my temper and say something bleeped up/racist/sexist/bigoted.

Fortunately, those I hoop with tend to not be sensitive drama queens...

Adieu.

smoothcrim2090: The Trans-Atlantic slave trade was a very very low moment in West African history and it should NOT be brought up! When it is brought up it should only be brought up to teach lessons! Mainly lessons about the danger of division and being your brothers keeper!!!

What about slave trading *within* Africa?

My own people fought a war against another Yoruba people (Ibadan).

They would literally invade our lands, capture people as slaves and sacrifices.

Yet today one of my dad's best friends is Ibadan..and they just talk sh1t to each other about it.

Shouldn't me and my own Ekiti people be very thin skinned and hyper-sensitive about this?

But we've moved on....

MsDarkSkin: So my choosing to use urban slang rather than your "Queen's English" is now your latest source of ammo.?

Yes indeed my demented friend, you are "mad lame".

I have no problem with urban slang...but it just made me realize that we shouldn't really be interacting.

@Physics: Whether she knows Wade or not personally is irrelevant. This is not a board meeting. This is not an office setting, or any sort of professional setting.

It is immediately after a sports competition. Mean, racist, inappropriate, violent things are said immediately after competitions.

This is par for the course. Hell, it wasn't even some white dude/girl making the joke...it was a Nigerian whose country and continent was arguably devastated from the slave trade as well.

The rules of ordinary decency are not the same as the rules of banter in sports...

MsDarkSkin: Omfg you are lame lol....you can still have a pik up and be an@l about being sonned...just the mention of that epic roasting is enough for you to continue a back and forth with me.....lol
Keep proving my point though...you still look mad dumb for cosigning the trick...

"you are lame"

"being sonned"

"cosigning the trick"

"mad dumb"

Wait a second, why I am talking to you again? I've no clue what I was thinking...oil and water do not mix

mruknaijaboy: lol yeh true that, but it funny how AA and Carribeans like to cuss africans about being poor and being ugly and african booty scratchers and we hunt lions and living in the jungle and a whole heap of other things i cant even remember and its ok but you lot dont like it when we cuss you about slavery??

Co-sign

When I first moved to this country, I remember that the people I got into fights with the most who seemed to have the biggest problem with Africans was African Americans.

It is somewhat surprising that 20-odd years later, they seem to be far more thin-skinned than those they made fun of

freecocoa: .Ekt_Bear

Give it up already,that f00lish girl crossed the line and needs to be reprimanded or even slapped for that comment.

I'm a sports lover(especially football) I know how high emotions run when the game is on but you don't go cussing people's ancestors about being slaves at such times,that may cost you a vital organ. I'm sure you know this.

Just wonder why you are defending the very obvious immature and stup1d brat

Right. So you are entitled to your opinion, I am entitled to mine. There is nothing wrong with us agreeing to disagree on this

The hilarious thing about this to me is there is a good chance that this chick is actually not from one of the slave-raiding peoples of Nigeria. She probably is not Ijebu, Kalabari, Itsekiri, etc

So her comment should be about as hurtful as some recent immigrant from Ukraine making a joke about 1800s white southern plantation owners or something...

Long story short, being less sensitive and politically correct will make the world a better place

MsDarkSkin: Like I said stfd...

You got hot over the picture reference and still awaiting my responses. Shamelessly defending some out of pocket bush h0e as if she promised your azz some stank toto or something....foh.

If I got so "hot" over the picture reference, why didn't I take it down? Doesn't that demonstrate that I don't give a crap what some other dude thinks about it?

There is nothing shameful about my defense of her. Nor am I doing so for sexual reasons. Or do you think that every time anyone in the world takes a position, it is because of s[i]e[/i]x?

Are you taking YOUR position for sexual reaons? Is someone promising you p3nis if you continue to be so thin-skinned and butt-hurt?

Physics: It obviously has nothing to do with whether anyone expected Nigeria to win or not.

The point is, emotions run high after a competition. And if you as a winner are not gracious, don't be surprised if supporters of the loser talk crap.

And why exactly is it not the same sort of thing? Anyway, that is not the point. The point is that it shouldn't be taken seriously.

Or do you think that she is being factual or literal when she says her grandfather sold Wade's for beads and glass?

I'm getting upset?

By...you? Lol.

Wouldn't I have to care what you say or take you seriously to get upset?

Or is me telling you to save your no doubt wonderful advice for yourself "hypocrisy"?

Clowned my ass? My shoulder picture is still up, is it not?

I guess that shows how much I felt clowned by it...

It doesn't make sense to get obsessed about what people say

Why don't you take your own advice. Stfd, and stfu

the funny thing is i say (jokingly) anti-semitic things to my Jewish friend all the time

I make deportation/terrorist jokes around my syrian friend

I take shots at the asians i play basketball with

they realize that I am just fvcking around

Clearly the girl was just fvcking around...

meh

it is a joke

a crude and inappropriate one, but not that big a deal

Stop being so politically correct all the time

Learn not to let every little thing set you off...

Jeez.

Immediately after a game, you won't make an inappropriate joke?

You guys don't get passionate about sports?

Man...it sure as hell wouldn't be fun to be in the same living room watching sports with ya'll

If I say anything, ya'll will be like, "Stop being so racist/sexist/etc"

USA won the match. Be a gracious winner, rather than a thin-skinned and butt-hurt one....

[quote author=Blood_Shed]Nobody should make slavery jokes.

What some Africans and diasporan blacks don't seem to understand is that, families in Africa were also destroyed by slavery. Think about who the slaves were forced to leave behind when the ELITES sold them. SMH Black people......[/quote]Meh

You can and should be able to make jokes about almost everything

People need to stop being so thin-skinned all the time..

GAR3TH: I just want to know if TB Joshua predicted this....

For real though guy, this isn't that serious. Just a game.

Iggy can lock up anybody

[quote author=Royal-VII]
...ill trade you this bum Andre Iguodala For a pack of cigarettess[/quote]Haha

Iggy is a really good player

I'd love to have him on my team

Tolaaaaannni: I can't watch this anymore, it's so painful to watch. They are really using koboko to beat them.

D-Will's crossovers.....ish cray

I wish I had handle 1/10th as good as his

So anybody know where Alade and Al-Farouq are from in Nigeria?

melo on fire lol
