Anyone else get the feeling that Denver is in LOVE with the BIRDMAN..because he's WHITE??

[whywesteppin]

Why do people only mention his hustle and energy? What about his athleticism? He embarrasses other players regularly by outjumping them.

for all we know, they could be rooting for someone they relate too someone theyre familiar with, someone they share somethign in common with...

but its the same way all u dudes who never played or followed golf root for Tiger Woods, or how yall be pullin for Venus & Serena , so really whats the difference?

I agree with everything this guy said. Who cares its not like your buying his Birdman Jersey, or fixing his hair.

He's white Ben Wallace IMO.

the ben wallace days in detroit is what comes to mind with the andersen phenomenon. that and the guy has been through a lot and everyone knows about it. its amixture of ben wallace meets josh hamilton.

I love birdman too. On the real people love him because he has a sympathy story and a gimmick. The crowds love gimmicks.

I mean dudes dressing like him, making signs and cut-outs. Just because he brings "energy" please!

Dude sticks out like a sore thumb on that team.

In a league dominated by African American Males you can't deny he gets put over that's the way it go's.

No Hate just sayin.

umm people dressed like ben wallace and wore fros to games when he was on detroit so whats your point? hes has something unique about him thats why they lovethe guy.....

 

[acbboyz84]

he's not that good of a player but i respect his hustle on and off the court. Most dude would have drift off and never make the league again. OP must be aracist black dude

 

[athievingenius]

dude be havin withdraws and s%%%%, but hopefully d-fense can be his new drug

almost forgot he ruined the dunk contest

 

[mjshoefanatic]

Race has nothing to do with him erasing shots and crashing boards.

Co-Sign
Birdman is that dude

 

[chiaravanond]

his swag on the court

 

[chisoxdavid]

Birdman is only cool when hes coked out

 

[vctry20]

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[Lizakers]

he missed 45 straight dunks in the dunk contest because he's WHITE

he's loved in Denver because of his story and his play on the court

 

[ctdaprince]

he is not as good as ben wallace was and he will never be as good as dennis rodman but he is a good energy player off the bench

 

[vsano]

It's actually his antics & style of game that makes him loved... plus the fact that he made 15 attempts in making a dunk way back in an all starweekend slam dunk contest...LOL

I don't even know why some of yall are offended.

yall acting like there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY they like him is because he's white.

y'all living in a dream world.

ok.
what are you trying to prove? seirously though? ok lets say that you're absolutely right, they love him because he's white.
are you trying to bring up racism or something? is this supposed to feed some theory about racism?
