I never thought I would hear JR Smith say the word “Eurocentric” lol.
He was 100% percent correct though.

My question is now that he’s had his epiphany what is he doing NOW?
Is he finding some fellow black millionaires to build that gym? Invest in affordable housing complexes? Create that league?
Because if not he’s nothing more than Umar Johnson with a jumpshot

Right message right messenger. Ppl can’t grow? J. R. Is only 38. It’s not like he waited until his 60s to say this. He’s a grown man and he trying to change.right message wrong messenger
This. It's never too late, though I give him credit for coming this far in his thinking.

A gym or rec center isn't changing generational poverty. JR.
You want to have a conversation that is out of your depth.
I respect the fire. But you should put voices with more knowledge to the forefront.
You can never be taken truly seriously since you killed your mans drunk driving.

Yup and the message is right tho
Rappers/ball players are will give out turkeys but are not focused on community building, which is not a one time thing, and they may not even know how
Id also argue that “generational wealth” is in opposition to helping Black ppl as a whole
We need a new Black Panthers

Real talk.
When you start to realize half that stuff you(we) doing is to impress others...nothing wrong with nice things but building up our community should be a priority...Nobody gonna do it but us
