Let’s have a convo. Take it in the “legacy” thread.
It’s way more closer than you realize.

I agree with the baseball player that "sports should be a reward for a function society" and by that metric, America 100% doesn't deserve sports right now. I 100% respect the opinions of George Hill and FVV but if they were to protest, what is they realistically plan to accomplish? What would be defined as success? I know there are people who say they welcome sports as a "distraction" from everything going on but I would be willing to bet a lot of those same folks wouldn't pay attention even if there were no sports. They would just find another distraction. In my eyes, they're like the folks who threaten to cancel the NBA but were never viewers to begin with.
The players of these leagues which are predominantly black shouldn't have to forego their annual salaries that have them in the Top 1% of the US earners (NBA - Median: $2.5MM, Average: $6.6MM and NFL - Median: $860K, Average $2.7MM) in order for change to occur. IMO, if they are going to do that, there should at least be a solid plan with tangible goals and potential results in place.
Maybe this goes back to function society piece but it's sad that we live in a country where professional athletes feel the burden of having to hold citizens accountable instead of the government officials who hold decision-making power and unfortunately are the true stewards of change.

These cops don't give a ****. NBA playing or not isn't going to stop these trash cops from doing trash things.
It really sucks.

All over 909. #home Mostly Fontana, Rialto, Etiwanda, Cucamonga, and Ontario was my stomping grounds. Growing up, though, I've literally lived from Pomona to San Bernardino, Lake Arrowhead to Chino Hills, and tons of places in between.What part of The Valley

The sad reality is that no matter what is said or done, the message isn't going to get across to people who don't want to receive the message.

We sometimes forget the role a quiet guy like D Rose....made with this statement when it was unpopular 
es.pn
Rose dons pro-Garner 'I Can't Breathe' shirt
Derrick Rose wore an "I can't breathe" shirt in pregame warm-ups prior to Saturday night's game against the Golden State Warriors, in reference to Eric Garner.

So if Giannis will get the cold shoulder by then why do you think Luka will STILL be praised, as heavily, in 2023 if he hasn't won anything?
My main point in all of this is just how you have so much confidence that Luka will be "better" than Giannis in 3 years.
As if Giannis is an old finished product.

Today, I’m taking Luka of Giannis with no hesitation. Giannis can’t shoot and that’s a huge problem. Once the lane gets clogged he has no choice to rely on the likes of Kris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe. His offensive game is very limited.

He is more fundamentally sound on the offensive side. That is what I am willing to agree with.
But that isn't the only thing considered when determining who is a better player.
