The fact that it has 16 signatures is just as disgusting.

 

[darthska]

We need a black owned league.

I agree, but not as a solution to this, or any form of racism. Racism will only be solved by white people not being racist. That's it.

[Vincent Van Goat]

Wouldn't even want this. Very serious

Anti doesn’t want anything kawhi broke his heart man

 

[MVP]

Heat in 6

 

[rolaholic]

But Canadians love to act like racism is such an American thing

It's a worldwide thing unfortunately , never been exclusive to America or any one region

Always a little funny though seeing/hearing that kind of bigotry online from cowards who would never say anything reckless to these players in person

People take sports too seriously. No lives. Imagine going out of your way to starting that type of petition. Sad.

It’s not even just the players. These keyboard QAnonsters are not saying that to any black person’s face period. Hell, recent history has shown us the only time they’re really about any sort of in person action is when they’re armed or in a position of power and the black man is defenseless

 

[sneeker]

Jaylen Brown has the luxury of being anywhere from the 2nd to 4th option on most nights. Siakam doesnt. He had a great playoff run last year. If thats his peak, Jaylen isn’t better.

if he was that good, being a 2nd-4th option shouldn't matter. he shouldn't play like he is worse than Serge Ibaka.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Someone made this to get attention...and it worked.

It could be a social media profile with an egg and 14 followers...and the retweet will get 10K likes and responses.

 

[smedroc]

Thats such a ho move by Giannis.

Even if you’re dead set on leaving you can’t be cool with old team mates?

 

[tay1]

Wouldn't even want this. Very serious

You don’t think he could be the next Timmy D or David Arruh?

It didn’t take me long to figure out what you meant. Yeah he’s a buster for that.

 

[TimelessClassic]

Game 1 of the ECF doesn't start until Tuesday...ESPN doesn't want them going head to head against the NFL so the Celtics are lucky to get 3 days off. I don't think TNT is gonna care for the West though. As soon as the 2nd round is over they're gonna start the WCF right away, which is why the Lakers/Clips better finish off their series ASAP because it could be the difference in getting 2 days off vs. 1

The jokes have been cool but part of me thinks he is trolling. He knows exactly how the world would react to that type of move especially considering he was “hacked” recently. The only way this makes sense if he told management he wants out, they said they wouldn’t trade him so he went ultra passive aggressive young boy.

Could he still get the Supermax if the Bucks do a S&T either this offseason or next?

Is an instagram unfollow REALLY "not being cool with" someone?

Is this really the world we live in now?

ESPN has two Monday Night Football games on Monday so they literally don’t have the air time this week.

ESPN also hosts MNF every week so it’ll be interesting to see what they do for Game 4 which is scheduled for the following Monday. They might have to play at like 4PM to make sure there is enough time for the MNF pre-game show before the 8:15PM (EST) kickoff.

ESPN2 is always an option but that doesn’t seem ideal for a conference finals matchup.

 

[aepps20]

These people were probably called racists and had no choice but to become racist themselves. This is a teachable moment for everyone to stop calling people racist.

 

[ballinsam23]

Pretty sure Giannis is trolling or it's a separate account strictly for business.

 

[WASHED KING]

Is an instagram unfollow REALLY "not being cool with" someone?

Is this really the world we live in now?

Grown men checking who a pro athlete is following on social media to read his feelings is the most high school thing I’ve seen all day.

 

[MajinZuub]

And the diff is the celts and the heat have much better and bigger offensive players than siakam does

Yeah the playoffs are different but again siakam proved he’s the best #2 in the league in last years playoffs

Being a #1 was a stretch but as long as he’s really the age he says he is and Masai works another deal for a bigger All star scorer he will be good to go

Klay been the best #2 in the league.

 

[lovehateself]

Just cause he unfollowed his teammates doesn’t mean he’s leaving
It just means everyone is getting traded away
Duh

 

[WASHED KING]

Or maybe...just maybe...the man wants to decompress with his family after being away from home in a bubble without seeing anyone or anything work related.

Can I pop champagne if the Lakers win tonight?

That's a big if, but there would still be 8 more needed before champagne.
