the thing is he is technically right, Lebron is the biggest voice in the NBA.

If Lebron came out and said the NBA season should be cancelled that would really rock the boat.

but he should not have brought Lebron up tho. he could have just tweeted " Im with Kyrie, its time for a change"

Breh its a union this isn't communist russia and Lebron isn't Stalin. If the players said to hell with Lebron we playing. Thats doesn't stop the league from restarting. Hurts the ratings sure, but it doesn't stop the league.

If thats the case if lebron retired today the league would just say well thats it no basketball forever.

Man I am from chicago and know kats who run with Pat. Pat is a turd and dude is always running off at the mouth starting shyt. Thats really some hoe shyt cause it doesn't come down to Lebron.

Its a union if everyone says no we aren't playing then the league doesn't start back up.

I mean take the 1998 lockout for example. MJ told the players don't sign the deal it sucks and keep the lockout going. The players tell MJ kiss our ass and they sign the deal.

And at that time no player was more powerful than MJ and he had the most powerful agent. The players still told MJ shut the fukk up we signing the deal.
I mean im far from a bron fan but 1) Bron probably knows the financial implications for the players if season canceled 2)Bron has been one of the most active and loud athletes speaking out about injustices in this country I dont know why a Pat running his mouth when hes literally done nothing (to my knowledge) against speaking out

Like I said dude is a clown. But also it doesn't matter what the stars think. Most deals get resolved by the lower paid players forming an alliance and making the deal go through. Its more of them than anyone.

As mentioned it happened on 1998. The players were like MJ can go on with that shyt. We ain't got big Nike deals or 30 mill a year contracts like him. We need the money and we signing the deal...period.

Also it is wild how regular folks on twitter telling famous folks they shouldn't work cause of social injustice. I am like so are YOU going to tell your job to kick rocks until racial injustice is resolved? Cause you suppose to do as you tell others to do...RIGHT?

Look my parents and family members were in the civil rights movement. They were in the NOI, SNCC and the Panthers. And the rule then was if you gonna ask someone to do something you better be doing it too. Or at least helping that person facilitate the thing you want them to do. As in coughing up some of that bread in your fukking pocket if that person takes a hit making a stand.

These young kats now a days love telling famous folks what they need to do on social media. But sure ain't gonna offer them a hand if they run into hard times after taking a stand.
