JB is very well spoken. He said some things in the past I dont agree with, but overall an articulate dude.

Yikes, this is nasty

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It’s up this morning, pause

 

[osh kosh bosh]

sometimes you squint and Scottie seems very Magic like.

but unless she can figure out away to score enough to generate gaps in the defense
to create lanes for passes

i think he's always going to be limited as a half court offensive hub.


He should try a hook shot.

 

[Moheezy]

Honestly, if they do that, they also need to do it with every religion, every movement, everything. There are books out there that share ideologies that is just as dangerous if not more than anti-Semitism.

 

[ballinsam23]

Yikes, this is nasty

Whats nasty about it? Didnt like his anti vax stand. Dont think I need to go into further details about that.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Scottie is the exact type of guy who could utilize Magics baby sky hook game.
He has such great natural touch,

but alas every wants to dribble and do step backs ect

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

No reason Scottie shouldn’t be a playoff rotation contributor

Same thing with Mobley

We knew what their questions were coming in and we’ve seen them surface in the first year and some change

Their floors are still extremely high and it’s more than OK if they’re not #1’s or even #2’s, I don’t think projecting them that way ever made sense anyway

Nasty talking about how articulate and well-spoken an adult Black man, whose first language is English is. Comes off as a backhanded compliment of being surprised at one’s intelligence, that no one every does when white athletes speak.

"Well spoken"

 

[Mister Meaner]

I’m standing with my coach too.

Don’t fire Tom [yet].

 

[worldbeefreeg]

It’s funny that Jaylen Brown is clearly one of the smartest guys in the league and went without an agent all these years to hand over his representation to an agency headed by Antonio Brown LOL.

 

[Moheezy]

It's ridiculous that someone like Joe Tsai gets to sit on his pedestal and be the keeper of our morals

Joe Tsai and the other billionaire owners are not the keepers of our morals.

Respectfully, I don’t think it’s as easy as you think, especially for people with limited incomes.

there's no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism.

Yea thats never my intent. No need to jump to conclusions there.

Serious question, has he improved from last year? I heard that he still has a ways to go. His poor shot selection in the mid range is killing his team. That's what I heard as I haven't watched a Raptros game this year.

Yup. For sure there are alternatives to everything, but buying something that's ethically sources comes at a cost that most people can't afford.

Here's one example of plastic-free, environmentally friendly laundry detergent. It's more than two times the cost of regular laundry detergent that you can get from Amazon and less washes.

Also, if there is a company on the rise, it will most like be bought by those giants.

Yea thats never my intent. No need to jump to conclusions there.

It’s not really about intent though. I’m just letting you know what’s the issue with the statement and how it comes off. People never talk about how articulate or well spoken white athletes are. That’s just a fact.

[datznasty]

Poku is that dude

What video was this? The block and then layup (should have dunked it) over Grant on the other end?

He had 2 of the most polite dunks I ever seen early in the game too. The one when he got caught in the air and threw it off the back iron to himself and lightly dunked it would have been sick if he did it with some bass in his voice

You never heard the Chris Rock about white folks saying a black man "speaks so well"?

Magic Abdul-Jabaar?

Tbh it's not just an athlete thing.

Unfortunately I think it's a phrase that has been used for so long that some folks say it without even thinking. Which sucks.

I honestly dont know of a white nba player that's as articulate off the top of my head. If I did probably woulda say the same thing about them though.

Question, if someone calls you articulate or well spoken, you wouldnt take it as a compliment?
