Can the Warriors just wake up and find a way to send Draymond to his lover's arms in Philly? I'm tired of that Brother and whatever the Warriors are on in the past 4yrs.

I no dey una zones sha but leave all this talk.

Won the Emmy for himself? Na only am dey the show?

No wahala, I think my earlier post was a bit harsh, I have a dozen stories like this, obviously not high profile people, just regular naija immigrants. So I do get opinionated on the matter.

Consider this, that what rg3 did to cause the hit is not widely known. Its RCs response thats everywhere. I dont want to parse context and make post too long other than the media machine has agenda. But RG3 and RC represent two kinds of mid aged black men. And they will never see eye to eye.

Maybe Ill make another post. I wss talking to fellow naija here d other day, 10 years in the country and he still didnt understand the koko of the system

Once you start questioning someone's blackness or their black card that's where I draw the line.

And from the outside looking in. Black people are the only ones that do that nonsense. I have special disdain for the self appointed black sheriffs that think it is their place to tell black men what to do and how to think.

RG3 is a notorious milkman. You might have disagreement with that but I have not seen anywhere he is actively harming BW. He does not owe anybody his seed, not even BW

There's also a level of 🍆 policing that goes on with BM especially the athletes in that community that really pisses me off but that is topic for another day

So if he gives a valid basketball critique and your response is that he shouldn't be speaking on it cos he's married to a WW. That is crazy talk. He still has sisters, his mother and relatives that are black. His daughters will be viewed as black

When you leave the meat of what he's saying and drill down and dog whistle his relationship cos you know how the attack dogs will hunt BM like him. I'm sorry I don't respect that. The fact that he has a White BM also makes him a hypocrite and tells you he's probably over compensating

SmooshCHN:
Exactly! I don’t get why LeBron gets a pass. Players have every right to move wherever they want because it’s completely within the rules even though I 100% agree that some moves are just foul.

LeBron himself has openly said he wants to be where he can compete for championships. So I don’t understand why the same people cheering and making excuses for this; same people who celebrated him teaming up with stars in Miami during his prime are the loudest critics of Kevin Durant for doing something similar. They bandwagon from Cavs to Miami to Cavs then Lakers and now Philly but have the audacity to call KD names; the double standard is nauseating and they should be ashamed (not really; they break no rules and have no shame). Everybody is a ashewo; Ajala most especially. It's that simple.

Bronsexuals will look you dead in the eye and tell you what he's doing is different from what KD did. When it's even worse. Hypocrisy

He's going to be playing with star guys over a decade younger than him.

It is one thing to form a Superteam with guys your age. When you are now teaming up with players born in the late 90s and 00s.

This means you can coast and let the younger guys do the heavy lifting on both ends of the floor while you show up in April-May

The longevity is an achievement but when you're playing with your age mate first then Kyrie and Love, Then AD, Then Luka and now Edgecombe, Brown and Maxey who are at least 12 years younger. You are gaming the system

birdman:
Ryan Clark, the guy who won Emmy for himself and the show? Both of yall need to clam down, there are things you fundamentally do not get about the country you have immigrated into. They playing chess, you playing checkers - dont let your immigrant success fool you, better study the playbook. Luckily RC pivoted, knowing what was coming. One post enough for the wise. If not, argue with yourselves and realize your error in a decade or two.

RC didn’t start Pivot because he knew what was coming. It was a side gig and that podcast has been running since 2022. RC never saw that sack coming!

A40:
Had a chance to build a solid persona and even be a fan favorite bigger on TV than when he was playing but he went the woke route.

His foot in mouth moments were so many and it was only a matter of time.

The two of his rubbish utterances that stood out to me was when he said Lamar Jackson would be the first authentically black QB to win a Superbowl. Like what does that even mean??

And then he said RG3 can't speak about Angel Reese cos he's married to white women. Meanwhile his first daughter has a white mom

Just an absolute 🤡

Ryan Clark and ‘woke’ in the same sentence?

A40:
I saw videos of him at the Jay Z concert and I just dey shake my head.

I don't think he really got the chance to mature properly. Everything he does tracks of only child, child prodigy I didn't get to enjoy childhood syndrome

Of course he didn’t get to mature properly. The guy has been grinding since he was like 15. This is the first time in his life that he gets to chill and just enjoy life. Cut him some slack!

Stacking teams at 42 years old. I don't blame LeBron but he just validated again why some people will never rate him as the GOAT.

Ironically I wasn't slandering him. This was actually me understanding why he is the way he is. Only child of a single mom that's 6'8 and athletic. It all makes sense actually

He's the Deacon of Woke. Jalen Rose left and passed the baton to him now he's passed it to some light skinned doofus David Dennis Jr

LeBron: The NBA has a ring culture problem and blames the media for it.

Also LeBron " Let me hop on the most stacked team in the league because I want to ring chase at 42 years old"

If the media talk now, they will say it's being unfair.

You dey follow LeBronze mouth? He's always been a shameless ring chaser. Even the most notorious Bronsexual cannot pretend this is not a ring chase

It's a Superteam. And I will shock people. If LeBronze accepts the Robin of the Robin role. I mean legit accept he's the 3rd guy. The Sixers are instant favorites. Especially with Nick Nurse as coach

KCP, Simons and Dean Wade off the bench is a solid support cast.

The key is LeBronze accepting he's the 3rd possibly 4th guy

And the usage. Woof. Maxey, LeBronze, Brown, Embiid on one ball

I wonder how Brad Stevens feels. Probably gift wrapping the Sixers of all team a chip. And for what? Paul George

He better visit a shaman and pray for injuries

Ghosting difficult matchups, showing up April-May, we all know the script. Only Bronsexuals are on standby to defend with the ready made excuse 'His age'. Kiss my black a*** already.

Anyone that's old should retire. I don't care about that. Every year on the court counts

The good part is winners like Brown and Nick Nurse is already there so no one can claim he led them anymore. If they will win it will be with him as the 3rd guy at best

I swear I cracked up.. As in, we all know where and how this will end na!

Jayson Tatum shares a motivational message on being a leader:

“Being around somebody that feels like they know it all, I don’t wanna be around that person. I don’t wanna be the smartest person in the room, I want to learn from somebody else.”

The media has an agenda against Jaleyn Brown fc where una dy?

Ooh shit! It's Just his usually quiet co-star throwing shade at him... Hmm.

Boston dropped the ball for not getting a Giannis and for trading Brown to a direct rival for peanuts but it's clear that he has issues that was even affecting the locker room. The dude needed to tone down his ego or be traded.

You're spot on. I don't really have an issue with his decisions; it's the hypocritical fans. It's all good. It's going to be an interesting season.

Looool. Anyway it's good he's confirming that them two do not rock with each other like that. I've always suspected that was the case and now it's bleeding obvious

Only thing to be said is it's time for Tatum to show and prove. If the Celtics struggle I'm fairly certain Boston fans will not go for this Humblesmith gimmick

I smell a twinge of bad belle as well. You're supposed to be the Batman but Brown won ECF MVP and Finals MVP. He can't pass a lie detector test and say he wasn't jealous

Nobody has provided proof of Jaylen Brown actually being a locker room cancer. Fighting coaches and trainers. That's when I will agree he's a problem other than that?

Anyway it's now 100% his team. Let's see what he can do

This sounds more like a “not the smartest person in the room” problem. If this is what he thinks of the whole situation, he definitely would’ve struggled being around someone as intelligent and confident as Kobe his idol. Funny enough, he smart mouth was quiet when he came back early from injury and disrupted the team’s rhythm after JB had carried them all season.
Like JB said, the bar is ridiculously low for some NBA players, and it’s becoming more obvious by the day.

Boston have a culture where no one is bigger than the team, so it’s understandable why JB would be viewed differently. In the end, it was a situation where both sides needed to move on.

We have an interesting season coming.

Honestly, I don’t envy you or any Warriors fan. Over the last 3 seasons or thereabout, I can’t figure out what you guys are doing, especially going into another season. Are you tanking? Are you rebuilding? Are you retooling? Ownership needs to get serious. It is sad to watch Steph’s final years look mediocre. After his retirement, I don’t know how the franchise thrives.

Tatum is the typical company man. Do-boy follow follow that is cool with not rocking the boat. However these comments are in poor form

Unless JB has shaded him in the past which we are not aware of.

This is not how you come out to sneak diss your fellow comrade.

I just think he's always had a silent beef with Brown and at the end of the day Oba o le pe meji laafin. He probably still feels those MVPs should have gone to him

These guys all have an ego. They just play it differently

I've been stressed since Nov 18 vs Clippers when Draymond was barking at KD during the time out on national TV. We could have won that game but Draymond internationally held on to the ball and cost us the game. It's not like that game meant anything but Draymond couldn't care less that the world was watching. To talk down so loudly on someone you cried to team up with you and then do him like that was foul. He was suspended one game which basically was like a pat on the head. There and then, I confirmed again that the front office had no spine. Winning in 2022 was just something special with Poole and guess who ruined everything immediately.

I've moved on from winning ever since plus Steph also seems to be perfectly ok with how everything has played out so it's all good. I just watch the game just because I enjoy watching some players in the team and that's it. Last season was Al Horford, KP, G.Santos and a few and that's it for me. This season would take less of my attention because I know Kerr isn't going to do anything different.

What MVP? He should speak up abeg. Make we hear wetin e wan talk. The amount of scrutiny JB has gone through before they won and even after? JT should just let sleeping dogs lie. If anything, J.B should get his flowers. I honestly didn't expect him to do so well last season but the gist from the Celtics (I honestly don't know how true) was that Derrick White was better. I'm sure Brown would have his complaints too. Both parties are happier now so.

you dont have to respect it, its not your fight really. you can always find the clips of rg3 dogging angela reese if you wnat to, race baiting a sister. And RC did the right thing, put the cornball in his place. Anyhow, its like an american coming to lagos or abuja and trying to discuss hausa fulani issues. the context is lost. It is what it is.

I brought up Steph's leadership style on this forum some years back, I was labeled a hater. But its now obvious to all, that he should have stepped up and asserted leadership a long time ago. There is no such thing as co-leadership. Anything with two heads is a monster! He shied away from having a tough conversation with Draymond, and enforcer became cancer, wasting what could have been 2 more rings for Steph.

What is your point exactly? There are many things that are not our fights and we intervene or are expected to intervene regardless.

RC is a goofball for questioning the blackness or bringing up his interracial relationships and I stand by that. He is a race grifter and race hustler. And that's why he's had to severally come on live TV to apologize and walk back his uninformed comments.

Why are you questioning another man's black card cos he made an obvious observation. Based on basketball!

He said Reese hated Clark and had more smoke for her than her fellow black players on the court that attack her physically? Did he lie. Didn't we see proof?

RC is not the blackness sheriff. Nobody died and appointed him or either of you to decide who can give commentaries on these issues

Also an American can discuss on any issues he pleases as far as he has done his research and understands the context. The same way everyone is carrying Jewish and Palestine matter for head.

You don't need to be Martin Scorcese to say "this movie sucks" so miss me with your example
