Yall shyt on kyrie but him and other players see the same shyt going on in this country that we see. You don't think they talk about what's going on? Yall follow woj, shams and all these corny cacs. Some of these dudes got strong black fathers who raised them. That's who they listen to. This is bigger than basketball.

Craziest shyt is there's a huge contingent of posters on this board who hold Jordan being apolitical against him like he killed a newborn baby, god. He said he had a one track mind when he played and it was all about basketball. These same posters are now mad at kyrie and others for taking a stand and saying fukk basketball and not wanting to be part of a tap dancing distraction. And yall are calling them fake woke, jealous, and all this other bullshyt.

Is it one mic or oochie wally?

See, this is that bullshyt Kyrie is on misleading everyone. There's 129 guys making $10 million or more THIS season. You gotta get to player 207 (Kyle Singler) to find someone making under $5 million. EVERYBODY is eating right now. Guys like Otto Porter and Weedplate are getting max fukking deals.

The reason the league is bringing 22 teams to Orlando for 8 regular season games is so most of the local TV deals are completed (they have to play a certain number of games and they aren't there yet) which is a big chunk of revenue. I think all of those stations can renegotiate if they don't finish their games. That money gets spread around to ALL the players.

Guys saying it's league propaganda talking about the financial losses the players will have to eat...it's the truth because their contracts generally are based on a percentage of the salary cap. If that goes down, so do salaries. And this isn't like MLB where those owners are flat out saying they won't pay pro-rated contracts. The league has been actively trying to work to pay everyone in full.

And what happens in another abbreviated season next year? Why not just focus on a ful calender next season its only a month difference.

This post only makes sense of you delude yourself into thinking there's only 1 choice: play or protest. 5 mil viewers on average per playoff game. How is that shutting players up? That's a big audience. Not to mentions 10s of millions of views on social media. This can only help us.

Theres NOTHING more pro black than black wealth.

20 NBA players made more than $30 million in salary this year. 51 made more than $20 million. 129 made more than $10 million. 205 made more than $5 million. 329 made more than $2 million. 481 made more than $1 million.

44 made less than $1 million

Some of that inevitable Coronavirus economic damage can be salvaged with these playoffs. Why not take it?

There is not going to be a next season if these guys don't want to be in a bubble for this resumption. No vaccine is coming out this year and maybe not next year either.

These are misleading numbers because they wouldn't be able to make back all the money they lost anyway. Sounds like a propaganda piece.



Exactly. Seems to me like there's a joint effort by the owners, Silver and the media to push them to play to get what they can out of it, but there's no guarantee shyt gonna be all good just cuz they follow along.

This is a preview of what the nfl and espn will do to nfl players later this summer.

Look at the locker room and how different it is from two weeks ago

Look at Twitter trends and see how different they are from two weeks ago

People are already being “distracted” .

NBA coming back has nothing to do with it and it’s just a convenient excuse for some .

just keep it 100 and say you don’t want to be in Orlando .All this other shyt is just nasty .
