Is this the face of the NBA?

Slow down. Deep breath.

I said it didn't make him a thug. You said freak, or whatever. I will agree that most people would for no better word say Bird looks like a freak.
I'm just correlating it back to the beginning of the thread.
Looks don't make you a thug. Actions do.
If the OP would have said Beasley looked like a freak, I would have not even responded.

Fair enough.

Every one has been discriminated against, just maybe not for race or having corn rows

I've been in the army and on the other side of the planet. I have been discriminated against many times because I am WHITE. It does happen. I used to work for a company in which everyone was black except for me. Though I was never discriminated against by the company, some of the other employees hated me just because I am white.

I have been discriminated against many times because:

1. I am white.
2. I am Catholic.
3. I've got very little money, I'm a poor man, work 3 jobs now. Many people judge a person by how much money he has or makes.
4. I am married to a Latina and am discriminated against even though she is a US citizen. Many people hate them because their English is limited.

A person does not have to be non-white to be discrimated against on a daily basis, that's my point.

group hug except for CL

Whats funny is, that if I started the same type of thread today, CL would be the first person here to accuse me of being a racist.
He would want the proof that is this instance for him is 'we don't know what he does' type of bullshit.

He's just a person so involved in nothing but Heat/Lakers, Kobe/James that nothing else matters.

Living in South Florida, I can say that most Latina women are hot as hell.
If they look good in a bikini, who cares if they don't know enough English to order a drink? Some guy will do it for them

The communication barrier has been amazing for my relationship. We never fight, we each just assume what the other meant to say was what we wanted to hear. It is anyways but still. And anytime I say something stupid I just say "I am learning english baby, I do not understand".

This thug-ass bitch makes me sick. What an embarrassment to the game of basketball. I hope Red Auerbach is rolling over in his grave.

Michael Beasely? The Face of the NBA? Does he still play for the T-wolves?


What the fuck are you even talking about?

 

[bksballer89]

I'll be honest this thread comes off as a racist/discrimination thread just because of the OP.

 

[b_lake]

Found him..Micheal Beasely is now a member of the Suns (wow)...Played 20 mins a game last year...Avg 10 pts/game...

"Face of the NBA" he is not...

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

LOL...It's totally a race thing with you...I can tell...but it literally has nothing to do with that.

People entrust me with hundreds of thousands of dollars. Whether you like it or not, THOSE PEOPLE do not want to see someone that looks like they are rehabilitating from a gang. It's not about who I trust. It's about who my clients trust

.

Maybe you should also consider that most of these 'thugs' invest alot more $$$ then 'hundreds of thousands' with wealth management companies.
Perhaps you are just going after the wrong type of clients?

 

[fordman84]

I can say, at least he doesn't have a neck tattoo. If someone has a neck tattoo, in my book they are not to be trusted.

Didn't somebody get banned for starting a thread that said James or somebody looked like a chimp?? Or something like that?

I didn't read it. Thats why the memory is a bit foggy.

Anyway, and in no way am I racist, but in all seriousness, and I know alot of black people who would agree, some black people do have features that resemble chimps.
No different then saying Steven Tyler resembles a monkey , etc,, as in the video.

The truth is that 99% of all NBA players have a tatoo or more on their bodies, and so does a lot of people now period. Tatoos aka your colors is no longer exclusive to thugs, gang bangers or other. As far as their hair is concerned, I have worked very closely with an organization(non-profit) that is 99% african americans and most of them like a wide variety of hair styles - it really is part of their culture. The women seem to like hats more then any of the caucasions that I grew up around as well

Actually, it's closer to 76%. Stop making shit up cause you don't know shit about hoops OR black people's hairdo's.

Most professions don't allow fucked up neck tats or Afro Puffs

I am not an investment firm. I will take any persons money, don't care what race you are. I am talking about MY appearance, and/or people that work for me.

If a "thug" was to give me money?....word up. But MY appearance is crucial, and if I looked like a "thug", NOBODY would give me their money.

 

[SportsChic]

How about you tell us how close you are to him? and dont be saying you read a lot about him in a media guide or on tv serving dinner to homeless..thats just an agent making most ..i say most athletes appear like good guys to their community.

Crack me up!

 

[Black Adam]
