I agree with you on this. That full page article was cringe-worthy, MC should've said something then.

You don't think the word 'posse' is downplaying the business success of Rich Paul, Maverick Carter, etc?
In his book Phil referred to NBA posses as people who fetch cars and girls for players.
Not sure why this is so hard to understand. Highly disrespectful and potentially has racial undertones based on some of Phil's previous quotes that are getting brought to light (see previous post).

Agree here. But a key difference is Gil went full comic sans on LeBron, not his inner circle, posse, business associates, or whatever you want to call it.

disrespectful. i can see it. its like "go get your shine box" in goodfellas type disrespect.
i see them dudes the same way though. coattail riders.
without lebron they wouldnt be successful business men, hard to fail when you have the number one athlete in the world backing you as jjs put it
. its like being born into wealth . people are going to see you a certain way.
we all see things differently.
either way lebron is the most successful athlete in north america ever. should be above this.

The situation is overly exaggerated IMO !
Wether Lebron rolls through places w/ high powered corporate execs or his old Cleveland friends, he is still rolling around with a posse that caters to him (Lawyers, Finance guys, PR, Social Network Managers, Brand managers/execs...Etc). He seems like he is trying to protect the images/reputation of his HS classmates, specially Carter... Whom he placed in powerful positions. Carter and the others are doing more than fine, especially with the new Nike signing (giving them a say with Nike corp in itself) + the signing of multiple players to his agency.
Ultimately, Lebron is that guy. He is the main dude and others just revolve around him. Therefore, they are his posse. I don't see the racism.

Just on the surface, if you can admit that someone would not refer to Drew Brees and his business associates as a posse than it is racial. Not racist but racial.
Fill in the blank:
Drew Brees and his____ .
crew, tribe, clique, partners , posse.
Bryce Harper and his___.
gang, band, squad, camp, posse.

**** that rapist Kobe and **** LeBron.
The first one is racist as ****. Just plain and simple. Clearly I was not aware of this.
The 2nd seems like the usual ignorant and pretty prejudice old white men judging products of hip hop culture in the NBA which was prevalent during the Iverson era.

Have you read thru any of this thread? It's not just the word posse that garnered the reaction out of Bron and his camp

I DID read the thread but it seems like there's more people up in arms about the connotation of the word rather than white old man Phil talking **** to Bron and his partners. Because at the end of the day who really cares about that? It was the word that triggered everything.

Gotta hear the audio, but posse, esp. from an old school guy like Phil shouldn't offend you.
If you get heated from one word, sorry, those are other insecurities you have in play you need to deal with.
These young kids get offended over nothing now a days.
