Regarding the Rome interview, does anyone remember why Stern came back at him like that? It was masterful deflection by Stern, and nobody remembers why he did it. They just remember that he did it, which became the story.

Always thought he was the smartest dude in the room and wanted to remind everyone else of it too. And I say that with admiration.

Rome basically asked if the outcome of NBA games are ever predetermined and Stern felt that was a question that should not have been asked, so Stern went savage on him.

Close. It was about rigging the draft. The Pelicans had gotten the #1 pick, and Rome was just poking at him about a conspiracy to set it up for them. Stern finally had it and dropped the wife beating question.

Whose burner is this?This is grade A stupidity. And not remotely true. If you mean systemic racism? Yes, maybe. Unless you're talking AAU or pick up basketball
Definition:
noun prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
That doesn't exclude anyone. Crap like "Black Excellence". You don't see white, hispanic, or asians saying nonsense like this.
Why?
Because they would be considered racist for being proud of themselves, but the double standard allows blacks to say this? Can you not comprehend the stupidity and hypocrisy of that type of statement? The level of colorist, and double standard is asinine.
What LeBron is doing is racial slur. Cultural appropriation. If a white athlete did it, it's racist. If a white, hispanic, or asian athlete did Fried Chicken Fridays, and spoke like black face or a southern Aunt Jamima type do you realize the outrage it would cause?
Double standard at it's finest. This mind set you just put out there, where blacks can't be racist? LOL but you can joke about whatever you feel is hilariously and idiotically hypocritical.

I remember working rec league back in the mid-'90s and cats would show up to games dressed like Pat Riley, complete with suits and slick backed hair. The best was this dude who coached 11-year-old girls. C'mon, man. I don't know why I was reminded of that, but thanks for that.

When I was about 15 I coached a team of 7 year olds in Biddy Basketball. I did a pretty bad job. I basically just told the kid on the team who was good to do whatever he wanted and told everyone else to get out of his way or go for rebounds. But I don’t specifically recall any parents complaining, so mission accomplished. (I never coached again)
(I never coached again)
Did he offer to do an AMA about coaching?- Status
