Tons of NBA players have deals with China. Kobe, Lebron, Chris Paul, curry etc all go over there in the off season. They make more money in China than in the United States. You never seen all the YouTube videos of players hosting camps there? China + NBA is huge. Klay Thompson shoes are China brand..metta world peace, j kidd, dwade

I bet they call each other nikka tho. Smh
This one seems like a stretch. Every year in Chinese new year is a different animal so it's not like it's intentional.

Who cares what someone calls themselves amongst each other? You act as if the civil rights movement you're benefitting off of today wasn't full of cats calling each other the same.
These fake ass bars you dudes create to dismiss people is corny as pure fukk.

I think Boogie concern is misplaced here. But why the fukk should one complain when he's carrying a concern in the first place?
So many of you cornballs overlook that part.
At least appreciate it

His heart was in the right place 
It's kind of like when a school lunch menu will all of a sudden bring out fried chicken, watermelon, and cornbread in February when they never really serve those things any other time. It's always the little things like that. No one is forcing you to feel offended but don't ridicule others who might have a problem with it.
School sorry for Black History lunch menu of watermelon, fried chicken

No, this is ridiculous. Each NBA team in addition to the NBA itself is doing black history related events all month. The players and coaches themselves warmed up in black history month shirts. You'd know that though if you didn't jump to baseless conclusions. Like others in this thread have said, the problem is with you nikkas who see a monkey and all of a sudden feel some kind of way like a mental midget. The Kings have a huge Chinese fan base in Sacramento and abroad and the Chinese New Year is on the 8th. Perfect time to promote gear for it.
Weren't people complaining that players weren't conscious enough and wouldn't speak up on certain things? Even if this might be a slight overreaction to some people, we all know the racist symbolism behind monkeys. And pointing that out doesn't make someone a "mental midget".

Who cares? Because it's hypocritical and ignorant. The monkey ain't got shyt to do with black people. And I for one don't give a fukk about Asians but this is ridiculous
