When did athletes get so sensitive man? (Specifically NBA)

[OnlyOneBoss]

Them nikkas genuinely mad about a fan (of the opposite team) talking about a bald spot?


In fact I’ve been seeing this a lot with NBA players since like last season. It’s like these nikkas can’t take any form of negativity from the crowd or they’ll want you thrown out.

When did they get like this? Not on some old head shyt but I swear nikkas was not this soft when I was growing up


I think it was last season when Westbrook was playing like shyt. Some dude in the stands told him he was trash and Westbrook tried to get him thrown out the fukkin game nikka just put some AirPods in and move on.

It’s like these nikkas need a therapist on the bench every game

lol if you don’t think that Nikkas in the 80’s were doing the same chit talking trash to random people in the stands

Nah I’m not saying they weren’t. I know they were. But Suggs and even his teammates seem genuinely upset/mad at dude for heckling.

Like that shyt really broke their heart

Always been part of sports and always will be Sports are so popular and athletes make so much money because of the tribalism aspects of it and they gotta deal with the good and bad that comes of it.

As long as no one’s sending genuine threats or trying to hurt them it’s just part of this shyt fr.

If Wemby dunks on that short dude on the Grizzlies and the crowd yells TOO SMALL should they get escorted out the arena too?

A bald spot is a sore subject for any man lol

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Sensitive how, Suggs clowned the fan with his weak ass twists

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Suggs should hit up Hedo Turkoglu to see if he can expedite an appointment for him in Istanbul.

Just because the push back was late coming doesn't mean it was wasn't eventually coming......people cross the line between what's acceptable and what isnt.........fans don't do this shyt in the name of good spirited heckling.......they be meaning that shyt in the worst way possible.........too short is all the spirit of the game......the name calling and personal attacks .......they have to stand on that when the ushers come to escort them out

Athletes may or may not be more sensitive these days but that isn't a clip to use in this argument. Fan makes fun of athlete's hair, then athlete makes fun of fan's hair. A fairly unnoteworthy example of trash-talking that's been a part of the game since forever.

Infact in any other context letting another man talk to you like that without saying anything back would be considered the soft move. Now, if Jalen tried to get the fan removed, or if he complained about it in the post game on some "the fans are going too far" type ish that would be a great example of softness.

This is regular shyt thats been happening since the 60's. You actin like he tried to get him arrested. lol.

Fan roasted him so he roasted him back. His concerned teammate was prob tryna figure out what he was going back and forth about and/ or hoping he doesnt get a tech.

When you were growing up, You didnt have tiktok and twitter accounts cutting up edited videos and sending them to your phones with neat captions and hd audio.

 

[Guile]

Wagner supporting his teammate is nice to see.

 

[CP3.]

He was within his rights to give some back

Suggs need to shave that shyt off though if we're keeping it real.

Agree with you about Westbrick tho.
