Two things.

1) I don't think you understand the demographics of the site you're posting on.

2) Difference between Phil Jackson and lavar ball, is scientific proof. There's no peer reviewed study that says black players are trying to be " kings of their neighborhoods ", or black people have lower attention spans than whites who occupy the same environment.

However

There are peer reviewed studies that show that white people are physically inferior in comparison to black Americans.

One is a societal generalization, the other is scientific fact.

:zzz:Deuces
I understand the demographics of the site but my point is that my posts are always going to be my honest opinion and not some follow the clique type shyt.

nikkas call anyone a cac on here who doesn't agree with the popular opinion. I'm not about to pretend to be outraged just for friends on the internet. I ain't built like that. The shyt he said didn't offend me. When Lavar said black players are more athletic than white player's nobody on here was tripping. Now when a CAC makes an observation which is just his punk ass opinion y'all mad? I ain't saying Phil ain't racist but them comments he made weren't racist to me.
The comments he made are the definition of racism.

The comments he made are his opinion. I have certain opinions about the differences between us and white people.
Yes, and opinions can be racist. And racist opinions don't necessarily have to be hateful or untrue.

I really don't know how you can say it isn't racist that when Phil was evaluating draft prospects, he's assuming that the black guys will be too preoccupied with jungle music and self promotion to ever adhere to a team concept. fukk him.

True opinions can be racist. Phil has said slick shyt with racial undertones in the past, like calling LeBron's friends a "posse" but this doesn't strike me as racist breh but rather his experience.

You've heard black people say.

October 1999: "I don't mean to say [that] as a snide remark toward a certain population in our society, but they have a limitation of their attention span, a lot of it probably due to too much rap music going in their ears and coming out their being."

I was referring to the comment on the differences of black players and white players. I've heard black people describe black athletes that way.

Last season is definitely a better book if you like stories especially the information on the Phil Jackson shaq and kobe dynamic but the 11 rings gives you a good idea on what besides all time great talent went in to two of the best dynasties in NBA history all of which because of and at times despite themselves
