No, clown. You made the original claim that the issue was being misframed. Defend your own claim, don't be lazy and ask others to do your homework for you.

You are what those of us with IQs above 75 call a "useful idiot." Congrats for falling for an out of context quote, not understanding any of the background, all bc it affirms your worldview and keeps you angry.




Why not instead of deferring to ad hominem attacks, you provide the evidence to defend your original claim? Who knows, you may even be correct once we see the evidence to support your claim. By insulting people and telling them to go find the information that defends your claim for you, you're actively hurting your own persuasiveness.

I don't watch basketball so I'll accept that it is indeed a fair take, but what does that have to do with his other wypipo comments?

Well lets start there. If you are willing to concede it is a fair take, then what would be your explanation as to why Luka and Jokic don't receive the same level of criticism as "the old heads." KD's theory is just that: his theory. I don't personally think its race driven, as much as we give our foreign athletes a bit more "grace" in this regard, and hold the Americans to a higher standard when it comes to acting in ways that are "better overall for the game."

What's your theory?

Got it. You've already submarined your own arguments by refusing to support your own claim and ad hom attacking people and you've now added smugness to the mix. You're a real winner at presenting your opinions.




Btw, you may want to eat your own vegetables here because it's been incumbent upon the claim maker to defend their own claims since the dawn of time. It's not the job of the audience to prove your claim for you.

To be fair, Luka doesn’t seem to give much effort in a lot of regular games, either.

My entire point is that when it comes to the ASG, effort is pretty minimal, and it’s not a race thing. As usual with practically any topic, a clear effort is being made to MAKE it a race thing.

Oh, so this is one of those times where context matters?

Funny, that same leeway was never given to a certain person your ilk shot in the neck, then danced on his grave like the demons you people are.

NHL has been my top sport for 20+ years now. I was one of the few people that paid for the NHL package every year in this part of the world lol

Definitely does on offense.

Minimal effort is commonplace across the board. But criticism isn't leveled equally across the board. That was KD's point, and its a fair one. His theory is racial. Mine is more to do with nationality. You are free to present yours

Let's be honest. Blacks are super racist. If they were in complete control. They wouldn't afford us the same programs of inclusivity. One could argue that it is a Western Culture thing to Champion minorities.

More predictably lazy deflections. You're educating others on how to intepret evidence by refusing to do so. Solid work.
