This bad news could ruin his upcoming season.

This bad news could ruin his upcoming season.

Which clearly shows that Lebron is behind this. I hear he and Trump are tight.

 

[gordontrue]

I would love Melo on the Cavs. If any combo of Cavs 2018 1st, any 2nd round pick, Korver, Shump, Frye, Cedi, Zizic, RJ can get the job done.... pull the trigger in a heartbeat.

 

[gordontrue]

LeBron just called Trump a bum on twitter. lol

Jamele Hill called him a white supremacist. Would your opinion be the same if Obama called for the firing of a white celeb who called him the n-word?

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from the consequences of that speech. People of all races get fired all of the time because they posted their opinion or made an offensive joke on twitter or their facebook page and the company they work for wasn't cool with it.

And ftr, I didn't vote for Trump or Hillary.

I agree with this. I'm not the biggest Trump fan, but I also wasn't the biggest Obama fan either (I voted for him in 08 and have regretted it since). There's two things you better be 100% on when calling someone - a ped0phile or a racist. The hypocrisy is very apparent and sets a bad precedence. Personally, I think our society as a whole has become such a bunch of pussies.

Unless he quit to get some rest, it really doesn't support your point.

Sure it does.

He trained harder than anybody. He played harder than anybody. Every night. IMO, he burned out. Perhaps more breaks would have made the flame last longer.

Yes, the Bulls dynasty was done, but he easily could have gone elsewhere if he still had the desire. Instead he waited 4 years and joined the Wizards.

But he refuses to call out the white lady who called him a white supremacist but called out the black person. Yeah he's not a racist lmao.

Dammit. Went to the NBA boards and somehow wound up in the PF again.

Perhaps he just doesn't care about her opinion and doesn't feel it's necessary to go after every single person that calls him a racist. Also, Jamele Hill is a far more recognized figure, which is probably why Trump felt the need to respond.

Koby, please get melo. You can beat any offer okc or hou puts forward.

Agree.

There should be equal consequences.

But, 45 has repeatedly said 44 was the founder of Isis, not an American and a Muslim radical.

His consequence was to be elected Commander and Chief.

Trump calls Obama the 'founder' of Middle East terrorist group

Sure. I would bet my life if she was black, he would have been on twitter going at her.

He hates blacks. It is what it is. We hate him just as much so the feeling is mutual. He can't stand that we're allowed to have our own opinion. He deep down wish that slavery around.

Can't wait to see the number of NFL players protesting increase by a substantial margin tomorrow

Honestly, I am of the opinion that what she said should be met with a suspension.

She may be correct.

She may not be.

But, he is the President.

My issue is with the hypocrisy.

He repeatedly made offensive statements about a sitting President.

Now he wants to cry?

Gtfoh!

How many of these folks that called Obama and his wife Primates lost their jobs?

Legislators feet are not held to the fire. But, we want to rail against a talk show host who isn't even very good?

Ps. I feel the same about Limbaugh, Stern, Anthony Cumia.

They are entertainers, nothing more.

What they say shouldn't be overly scrutinized either.

Hill is in the same position 45 was in when he made some of his statements.

A clown on TV.

Would love to see him with the Cavs or Thunder.

But, who would you give up, Kevin?

I would rather have Love.

I heard Trump's father was a KKK member. While he has somewhat masked his feelings, generally speaking when someone's parent has such a strong opinion, the child generally either harbors similar sentiment or goes 180 degrees the opposite way. Trump clearly has not gone the direction.

Yep I heard that as well so his actions towards people of color doesn't shock me at all

Wow...solid point, grudgingly agree.

Racist, Rapist, Ped0phile are tough accusations to overcome.

Ps. ......as to what society has become...

You are what you eat.
