OFFICIAL 2020 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD - DISNEY COVID INVITATIONAL EDITION - MAMBA FOREVER - LAKERS WIN THE RONA RAND - ALA FOREVER

[lovehateself]

Pretty much lost interest after that Breonna Taylor announcement. Just sucked the joy out of me.

writing was on the wall when the family got the check

Herro built different!

Vanilla ICE is COOL AS ICE !

A life that Trayvon Martin does not have anymore. Let’s not get it twisted, this country would LOVE to have a white NBA player to root for, one not from europe. If making it to the finals? I look forward to LeBron shutting his behind down, especially with the recent comments coming from the MMA sucker. This Breonna thing? Man. I’m not trying to hear any more excuses. This, is a Black thing.

I understand your sentiment but I think you're conflating a couple of different issues. From what you're saying, you're rooting for the Lakers to win because you don't want white America to have another popular player to root for? The Lakers have a goofy looking white dude who comes off the bench who could gain popularity from winning a title as well.

Also, what does Tyler Herro playing well have to do with police brutality? You brought up trayvon Martin, what does that have to do with Tyler? Tyler is just a 20-year-old balling out.

I'm a Lakers fan so of course I want them to win I just don't understand your rationale here. Maybe I'm not black enough. I have a white wife and I'm an immigrant. Apparently i just don't get things lol

Might be time for Celtics to fire Brad Stevens and bring in a Nick Nurse type to take them to the next level.

What is a Nick Nurse type?

What is BS's "type?"

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Any statement I made about him being white was in response to someone saying something about him acting/talking Black.

So you need to ask THOSE people that question, not me.

Do you think different ethnicities have distinct accents?

 

[sneeker]

Herro went crazy
I think the heat wrap this up Friday. Boston still not ready yet

despite liking the Celtics, I'd rather have Miami going to the finals. the Heat are earning it.

I know man. I was just hoping this would be different.

The talking black/white convo is just dumb. That is all I'm going to say.

Jimmy reckless af

trying to play MVP for the Celtics.

What makes it dumb? Just asking

It’s a joke. Nick Nurse was brought in because the Raptors felt Dwayne Casey was good enough for the regular season but couldn’t get over the hump in the playoffs.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

What makes it dumb? Just asking

Yes

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Yes

Are you black?

 

[anomolie]

I see Herro as I white guy who loves the visceral side of black culture. When ish gets real they true colors come out. I’ve had white friends like this. They don’t get the true black experience.

what do you mean they don't get the true black experience?

 

[addict4sneakers]

Herro is nice.

seems like he grew up around the culture enough for it to affect him. I don’t think he’s faking. I never want to see him in a du rag again though.

 

[trynafeelmink]

i rock with Kemba heavy but watching him be trash in the playoffs after a lot of Boston fans slandered Kyrie & talked about how much of an upgrade Kemba would be for the team

nah man Brad Stevens is a genius

 

[anomolie]

what do you mean they don't get the true black experience?

White folks don’t understand the plight/issues facing black people. Majority just live in a bubble. My experience living in the south.

 

[atlsfinest]

what do you mean they don't get the true black experience?

White people, even white people who have lived amongst black people for most of their lives, don't have to live the black experience 24/7. they can turn it off and go back to being just a white person in white America. Black people can't take their skin off and assimilate amongst whites.

It's kind of like when you see Miley Cyrus make rap music with three 6 Mafia in order to tap in to black culture and then hop back on the pop/country stuff.
