The Rockets have to come out to this next season. Granite witb John Wallets on payroll, they're not going anywhere

thought it was some Afrobeats from the thumbnail and dude's name

Nigerian from Houston. I'm sure they'll use Da Baby's nursery rhyme, every verse sounds the same *** cadence though. The Thunder came out to "Swiss! Dun dun dun dun dun, dun dun Bring'em out, bring'em out" looped for as long as I can remember. Not gonna get a local anthem with national appeal, but they could update too. I still hear Marx Morrison Return Of the Mack in the backgrounds ar arenas though so

EYE think Wiggins could get frustrated tonight by No. 6 defensive rating Grizzlies

This is fire. I saw that he had a song with Black Thought and a song about Jesus in the suggested so I'm good off the rest of it, but I mess with this.

Got outbarred by his wife badly.

I like his song on 2k20. Mostly the beat. The lyrics are whatever to me.

Yup. I mean, it’s fair to be critical of AAU. They have their own problems. But a lot of the stigma and criticism is racialized. And it isn’t particularly new (like everything). Hubie Brown was saying the same thing in the 70s. But instead of AAU…it was “urban blacks”

This is word for word almost the same as what mark Cuban was saying….50 years later. And a lot of this has been internalized. Even by black older folks and players etc. Kobe, Chuck, Pop, and them etc be saying this too.

Mark Cuban Says American Players Only Know 'How to Taunt and Put Together Mixtapes'

Mark Cuban's delight with Luka Doncic led to some pretty dismissive comments about American basketball players.

But in their minds….they’ll tell you basketball was fundamentally sound in the 70s, NOW

“they’re so damn cocky”...

them folk HATE when we confident

 

[finessence]

America praises 13, 14 or 15 year old geniuses who go to Harvard or Yale, or MIT... but let a kid at 17 or 18 want to skip college and play in the NBA. Crazy

 

[HIM]

And there’s still people that get mad at me when I say **** Hubie and get him off the goddamn tv

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

Wow, thats amazing, what is the current state of today's Houston Rockets?

Are yall in the play-in?

I heard it gives pitiful teams a chance to make the playoffs.

 

[Based Jesus]

Pitiful teams like.....the Lakers?

 

[WASHED KING]

Yea especially when yall were all on that "Pure PG Phenom" Ricky Rubio's nuts.........

Many people on this site told me Lamelo would be a bust.

 

[HIM]

I’m assuming I’m late on this so pardon my Freeze if so. But Jimmy’s agent doesn’t seem to care for the Shamgod

 

[friscostylez]

Not here to start something but this tweet is the most "He reads NT" thing I have ever seen

not a single lie was told

 

[P C H]

Ready for tomorrow. Was at the play in game Wednesday and I been on a basketball high ever since.

Feel good about my picks this year

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Ready for tomorrow. Was at the play in game Wednesday and I been on a basketball high ever since.

You sure you ready..?

 

[P C H]

You sure you ready..?

Clippers in 5, 6, whatever one of those two. Easy

I’m not familiar enough with how things work in other countries to comment on the whole world, but I definitely agree with this as to the US.

So many things wrong with our higher education system and the cultural narratives that help perpetuate it.

Part of why I’m putting no pressure on my son at all about college. If he eventually wants to go so he can experience what it’s like to be in college, cool. But I’m never going to tell him that he “has to” go to college in order to be productive, fulfilled and happy adult.

This is the epitome of white privilege.

You should sit this one out.

[ballinsam23]

Am I the only one that thinks the Grizzlies can actually win this game?

 

[Based Jesus]

This is the epitome of white privilege.

You should sit this one out.

But he's right. We shouldn't tell kids if they don't go to college the rest of their life won't be worth living.
And we should definitely change the narratives around what it means to be "educated".
I can make a website but I can't fix a leaky faucet. Does that make me more educated than a plumber?
