2022 NBA Offseason thread

[The Q]

I’m ready for basketball issues, there are generally plenty of those to talk about.

They keep jt going

I’m down to talk about the Ben Simmons bully revenge tour

I wonder how many team psychiatrists have quit already.

 

[Mecca]

I did

I’m still confused af

Hence why I said he said it before

But they were referencing the same thing years apart as “news”

Yeah, its bizarre.

Me too.

I'm tired of being TMZ.

I think I'm going to spend some time mock drafting on yahoo...lol

 

[Mecca]

Yea

Where people tried saying lebron didn't acknowledge the situation.

It's funny...it's the same people that criticize he's too quick to comment on other things. But the minute we had a dead white kid Lebron was supposed to be commenting before the kid was picked up off the ground.

Damned if he does, damned if he don't.

That's the way it goes when you've already decided who someone is in your head.

 

[The Q]

Yeah, its bizarre.

It also makes sense why when it came out again in 2020 I said this dude has said this before…

I also hadn’t heard of the shop until this came back around in 2020

I guess I don't see Lebrons activism as an issue. He's not Kyrie about it for chrissakes. And sure he isn't MJ who intentionally kept out of that stuff to sell shoes.

MJ is the model

Kyrie might be correct more often than Lebron is….and he’s a freaking flat earther

That alone says something

Here is the full actual interview and said quotes that Q referred to in previous posts. You won't find this on Google because of obvious politics bullshit. It is on duckduckgo because they don't such a politics-driven agenda over there.

Some things in the interview are/were partially true and some statements according to Reuters were or have been taken out of context. BTW if James is a racist, he has some splaining to do because he works for a white woman!

Fact check: LeBron James quote on white people taken out of context

Posts shared thousands of times on Facebook claim that NBA superstar LeBron James said he wanted “nothing to do with white people.” While James did say this, the quote has been taken out of context, with the post calling him a racist and a proponent of “white hate”.

DuckDuckGo went political earlier this year

The only issue I have with his or any other athlete/celebrities activism is that, because of the large following they have, they need to make sure they educate themselves and have the full context on something before tweeting, tik toking or instagramming about it. Also, if they do tweet about it without doing that and turn out to be wrong...own it, don't just quietly delete it and try to act like it didn't happen.

It's like when that white cop shot that black girl and Lebron tweeted out a picture of him with what was essentially a threat on the cop...then when he found out he shot her because she was trying to stab another black girl...he just deleted the tweet rather than address and own what he tweeted.

I get that as a black person he would have a strong initial emotional reaction, but the number of followers he has means anything he tweets is going to have a much bigger effect than some rando posting the same thing. He's lucky no one acted on his tweet...that could have been a real problem for him.

I’d love to watch him try to go up against someone who actually does that like Candace Owens.

She’d hand him his NPC ass on a platter

All fair

I'd prefer we go Sowell or someone who isn't playing a role for clicks and notoriety.

Sowell is a good one for sure. But my point was not even someone at THAT level would still dominate and outsmart LeNPC

I’d be happy with Andrew tate

Dude is 100x the intellectual and man bron is

He didn't understand that he did anything wrong though. One of his handlers probably told him he had to delete the tweet. In a quote thereafter Lebron said what happened was he started the wrong conversation. No indication he learned anything.

He was rather predictably acting in sync with rhetorical activism that toes the line near stochastic terrorism and the media that in tandem incentivizes the emotional instant outrage over sensationalized stories taking priority over being accurate. He is a marionette.

She's a fucking moron.

I'm starting to understand why you got tricked into believing there were multiple incidents of LeBron stating he hates white people.

This idiot is not a credible news source.

When Trump calls you on reporting fake news, and you are a so called conservative, it's time to hang em up.

Candace Parker : More people are dying because of the vaccine. More have died since the mandate!!!!

Trump : No, they aren't. The vaccine is working. The ones getting sick aren't taking it.

Candace Owens: But masking children is horrific. Its like China!!

Trump: China's education system is a Hell of a lot better than ours. They are 1st in the world, we are like 44th.

Me:

 

[Shanemansj13]

LeBron has white friends though.

Yeah, I am one of his white friends

And she’d still run train on Lebron

That’s how low he is on these issues
