What I find ironic is that LaMelo and LiAngelo will become better players fundamentally with the experience overseas. People who knock them for going overseas are dense.

I'm surprised Gerald Green has lasted this long in the league. But as long as you can accept your role you can flourish as long as possible.

These Alternate Facts
Lebby did try to leave High School after his junior year. He petitioned to enter the draft and they tood him to take his *** back to school because he didn’t graduate yet.
Exactly.

Big J, you black?
I ask because sometimes this can be a reason why someone does/doesn't believe race has to always be a factor.

I’m as black as the ball brothers. I’ve just learned to see that everything isn’t race related. Just have to open your eyes. You have people commit crimes not because of the color of your skin but because of your religious beliefs, because of your sexuality, because you have something they want, or whatever.
I know people that only care about the color green.

Mom should pulled him out of school and had him play in Europe for 2 years.

They would’ve killed Gloria James (a single, former teenage black mother from poverty) for that in 2001.
They were already ***** on her then.
Anytime you try to “buck the system” as a black man...backlash. What @VARNELL HILL and
DCAllAfrican
and others were speaking about was a structure (like baseball and many other sports has) that allows prodigies to reach their goals outside of the “traditional” way.Right now...it’s a one flow pipeline to that nba dream for American basketball players (majority African American)....where your talent can be exploited along the way.

That's how systemic racism works. So subtle it numbs you to it's effects. At some point though one has to open their eyes and realize even though it doesn't overtly show, it continually, disproportionately, negatively affects one group more than the other. The people from the affected group surely recognize it.
The telling groups what not to see or feel despite the history of things is for another conversation too.

I remember when they criticized Lebron for getting the Hummer in HS.

They killed Bron and Gloria for the hummer....after it was clear he was going to the league and it was a loan.

I’ve heard it. I’ve read it and I don’t believe it applies to everything. It’s my belief.

. This may be just what he needs though. His two major weaknesses are mentality and structure. Being humbled and taken away from comfort can help with that if you strong enough.

Your argument is still flawed because again LeBron attempted to go the non traditional route and people still got upset about it despite as you said him being guaranteed the nba.
They tried everything they could that year to get LeBron’s eligibility taken away from him. Remember when they suspended him for getting the throwback jerseys for having good grades.

Just hope Lavar will let them breathe. All this "they don't know how to coach my boy" stuff is pointless.

I forgot about the throwback jerseys. They wanted poor Lebron to be dusty.

Charles Barkley is not a fan
"He’s all about Big Baller Brand. He has no (perceivable) talents. He’s trying to make money on his kids. And I just feel sadness for those kids because they’re going to do whatever he tells them to do. I just don’t like the guy at all. Plain and simple. And don’t tell me he’s a good father. Just because you exploit you’re kids trying to make money because you have no talent that does not make you a good father.”

Stupid Chuck says stupid things. I'm sure that's not why people say he's a good father. With everything I know goes into raising happy, healthy teens on the path to success, it would be on sight for people talking about bad parent. **** isn't easy at all and deeper than what you see on TV.
