I think we can all agree that Maverick Carter, Rich Paul, LeBron James, Savannah James, or even Lebron James Jr could do a better job of running the Knicks than Phil Jackson.

Did I loving say Phil was racist?

I've only said I get why Maverick and LeBron would be pissed about Phil just carelessly dismissing his business team.

How can a baller not call his people anything but Inner Circle?

Also, Phil had the amazing timing to coach Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Guess he feels like he has to come out with a phillipic about the next generational talent guy, even if it's stupid.

I'll see myself out

I'm just glad everyone has clearly finally come along to Pop always having been better and cooler than Phil in every way :)
I even guarantee he'd be more fun to get high with, Phil's no Bill Walton he can't hide his obvie nonchillness behind incense and yoga mats or whatever he fucks with

Hahaha gently caress yourself x4

The first thing a black person who gets wronged is asked to do is forgive and forget. To bite their tounge. Or get an appeal to their religion and Godliness. We always are forced to be above the fray and be the bigger man. While people continue to say and do offensive poo poo to us. I'm frankly tired of it.

Hell yeah you sound motivated! What's step one? I mean aside from saying "gently caress you" several times to me personally

Is Derrick Rose going to be able to get a contract next year? I feel like he's going to try to hold out for way more than he's worth, because he thinks he's worth more than a bench guy, and then get passed over in free agency.

Don't worry I caught it.

I'm doing my best with what little platform I have to tell people who are being offensive assholes that they are being offensive assholes.

Also it's not really on me, the oppressed or the offended to stop assholes from being offensive. Kinda on the assholes themselves. All I can do is tell them they are being assholes.


So I mean. Go gently caress yourself on a pentagram.

He'll take a 1 year minimum contract to join a playoff team or the Mavs or something under the narrative that he is doing it to get his career back on track (nevermind no one else offered him a real deal). He'll then either do well enough to get a longer term deal from someone trying to hit the FA lottery or do poorly enough to end up with a nebulous injury then either retire or sign a middling deal with the Kings or Nets or someone who is trying for a few headlines because what the hell else are they going to spend their MLE on?

The dresscode is racist bullshit, but in hindsight it eventually led us to the hilariously dumb poo poo athletes are wearing now. So I guess it's a wash.

Dumb racist bullshit and backlash to George Karl dressing like eminem led to some unexpectedly amazing fashion. Beats the hell out of the boxy Big and Tall suits you'd see athletes wear in nice occasions/broadcasts before that.
