Especially not Lebron.

Yep.

If any of those players are on that call to do anything but laugh at him and tell him go jump off the edge of the world...the NBA might be doomed.

But a lot of people do.

Tell them their iPhones are made with Samsung parts. People flip out and get all defensive and shit. It's hilarious.

They're going to lose a lot of fans if it gets canceled over this

Chris Paul?

As in Union President?

Jesus fucking Christ. Somebody needs to tell that flat earther to shut the fuck up.

He knows the Nets don't stand a chance in hell to win the title so he just wants to start an early vacation.

He's willing to give up everything? Start with the remainder of the seasons paycheck along with the rest of the money you got paid to do fuck all. Then try to convince the rest of the league to do the same.

He can simply retire. Really not that difficult.

Hockey and the MLS will pass the NBA in popularity if the season gets canceled over racism

That's a bit of an overreaction there.

Maybe he should tell his two teammates?

@dtgold88 ...

I take back, my take back...

The Fucking President and Vice President of the players association are trying to get the Season canc.


As the NBA nears the resumption of the 2019-20 season on July 31, a new reality is beginning to emerge. The NBA’s Board of Governors approved a 22-team return format for the season last week, followed by the National Basketball Players Association ratifying it the next day, beginning seemingly inevitable momentum toward a return to play out the conclusion of the season that was halted in March. However, there is now a group of players looking to take a stand by not playing in the league’s intended resumption and their primary reason for doing so would be in support of the nationwide movement fighting for social justice reform.


Sources tell The Athletic that a group consisting of 80-plus players — including NBPA Vice President Kyrie Irving, NBPA president Chris Paul, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Donovan Mitchell and Avery Bradley — discussed finding unity and a way to attack a cause amid the nationwide unrest stemming from racial injustice, systematic racism and police brutality as well as what the world continues to face during the coronavirus pandemic.


Irving and several players on the call, including Dwight Howard, Carmelo Anthony and Donovan Mitchell, spoke out about not supporting the restarted season because of ongoing social injustice, racism and coronavirus concerns, according to sources. Bradley, the Lakers guard, was the second person to speak on the call behind Irving and was vocal throughout, urging players to take a stand and utilize this moment to “play chess, not checkers,” those sources said

Hopefully they cancel the season so the league can tear up the CBA and fuck the players over.

PLEASE MAKE THAT HAPPEN

The only thing wrong with this is...Kuzma's white. Since this is becoming about the current racial justice movement, it would need to be other black players saying we should play. But then they might come off as sellouts.

It's a mess.
