Petty Vandross.. fukk Yall
This is just like Nike suing StockX
Corporations look at how the market/people are responding to certain products/events
Cube found a nice little niche that I’m pretty sure the NBA thought would fail but it’s gaining popularity and he’s probably making a nice little check
The NBA sees the nice little dividends he’s making, ex players making some decent change
Now they want to disrupt that and find a way to get it under their wings so they can get some of those dividends
Ie merchandise selling, jerseys, bigger tournaments
To bring my post full circle
Nike sees how the reseller market is on fire and kids are willing to pay all their money to obtain these coveted sneakers
So let’s say most if not all of the sneakers being sold are replicas/fakes
We got to find a way to get into this reseller market or force a buy out
It’s all the same game

Right. From the NBA’s perspective they created the name recognition and marketing of these retired players that The BIG3 is now piggybacking off. Let’s be real nobody would care about this league if it was random Joe Shmoe from Idaho
Before the BIG3 those same players went overseas and used the name their mama gave them to continue to get paid.

I’m confused… ain’t the Big 3 just signing old players that can’t play in the nba anymore? What’s the big deal? I mean the thing he should be pissed off with is how Iso Joe was killing it in his league then he left and went back to the nba. That’s something Cube really should be worried about.

That’s a question I’d love answered. People be talking about democrats having to do stuff for black people.. newsflash: the Republicans work for us too. Whoever is in charge is working for us. We pay into all this shyt that they waste our money on so they all work for us. How about press Republicans on black issues too

Yeah let’s all vote for conservatives and see what that gets us, it’s not like history shows us what happens when they control everything:gladbron:
that will show them:camby:
Either y’all be trolling or just dumb

Why is it if you not blindly voting dem that mean vote for republicans?

Black people can’t simply express the want to get more from a party & be held accountable?

How could they when we immediately kill any black person who even asked them for anything lol. Muthafukkas stupid as hell.

Cube asked both sides to come to a table and only one side came and everyone killed him cause that one side came. Stupid muthafukkas think this a gang war where you can’t even ask the other side anything.

If you do, you immediately a sellout c00n. Meanwhile they don’t ask the side they voting at a 99% rate to do anything either.

Now black people last in ever way in this country and not even an agenda from the side we vote 95% to even care about it.

We fukked. Cause of clowns like yall

From what I’m aware absolutely nothing which is exactly why they shouldn’t just get our vote either

If a party keeps coming up short does it make more sense to push for more or keep giving in just because?

Same shyt been going on since our grandparents were voting. Get it together

I never understood the logic of people being mad at Cube for trying to go the bipartisan route when that’s essentially how politics work. People didn’t want him going to Republicans to help get shyt done when it‘s no different than people complaining now about not having enough votes and complaining about it.

It’s almost like people are willfully ignorant to how things work.
