No one has an issue with nepotism when white folk do it but when the BLACK MAN does it there's a problem?

Nobody had a problem when Zaire Wade got a deal with the Salt Lake City Stars…

The point of laying a foundation or creating generational favoritism is exactly what LeBron was supposed to do! That’s how how life goes. Bronny been in the public eye his whole life, damn right he’s supposed to bypass certain dudes

Gave him more than the full MLE

Ballmer is the NBA version of Jerry Jones. If he likes you, you’re good forever.

That’s a corny premise. There’s articles hating on people of all races for engaging in nepotism. Turns out it’s not highly praised by anyone outside the family benefitting. Hell, we had a solid decade in this country dunking on Dubya’s nepotism and the rotten people his daddy left him with.

Don't like it when people disrespect the game of old especially when we're talking about integrated teams. The only reason they had jobs was because the league wasn't lucrative but that doesn't speak to what they were as players.

Im glad Baron Davis called out that clown *** puppet JJ. Dude calling Cousy and West plumbers like he wasn't worse than them even with the being a NBA player in the modern era. Like the poster above me said, they were only having second jobs because the sport wasn't as lucrative at the time. JJ should be thanking them for allowing him to get paid millions of dollars to just chuck up 3's. Bros first 4 seasons he was a super bust. Cant even put the ball on the floor against NBA athletes. So disrespectful

In the same breath you say you want the game to back to the the guys getting out of the mud

 

[shogun]

reddick would get bullied by plumbers.

 

[clyde the glide]

Real skilled jobs that contribute to society over extended childhood with instagram models and gossipy podcasts any time.

That plumber line isnt the zinger these grown children think it is smh

 

[HIM]

JJ never called cousy or west plumbers

 

[JMB10215]

Ngl sports in general is becoming a nepo thing. AAU and 7 on 7 are so expensive these days. Every kid has a trainer and that's expensive, if you want your kids to keep up. And kids in the streets these days would rather rap or stream then play outside. They don't wanna be like Mike they wanna be like quando rondo

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Damb we got a lot of plumber truthers in here way moar than I thought when these comments first originated

I’m not even mad at the spirit

 

[JMB10215]

JJ never called cousy or west plumbers

He said Cousy's era was a bunch of plumbers on First Take

 

[trappedintime]

JJ never called cousy or west plumbers

Yeah it was even weaker saying they’re only revered for playing against plumbers

In the money aspect only. Nobody cares about the Clips like they do the Cowboys regardless whether they're good or bad.

I'm really not going to like this dude when he's our HC.

[JMB10215]

idk growing up as a kid in the early 2000's. (elementary school) I used to love watching sportscentury and ESPN Classic and learning about the Cousy's and Wilts, and Jim Browns of the sports world. Im not really rocking with dissing others to prop up your own heros. That **** is lame as hell.

 

[HIM]

Right, so he didn’t call cousy or west plumbers
