Damb, Nate Duncan and Danny Leroux still have the commentating gigs. Watching the Cavs Knicks from the weekend

Crazy to see how far they've come

When they can move Levert to the bench (or trade him) and get Garland back... got damb

“Sex Intentions”

Not the actual title of the movie, but probably should have been.

How is Joe Tsai still in the NBA? This is the same league that allowed someone like Sterling to move with impunity for 30+ years. I think most people would say that Kyrie is an example of how you can be charitable in certain respects and still clueless at best and harmful at worst in other ventures. Some of these owners are no better. Hypocrites. And for whatever reason they have no media obligations

In the United States, Tsai donates hundreds of millions of dollars to combat racism and discrimination. In China, Alibaba, under Tsai's leadership, partners with companies blacklisted by the U.S. government for supporting a "campaign of repression, mass arbitrary detention and high-tech surveillance" through state-of-the-art racial profiling.

Tsai has publicly defended some of China's most controversial policies. He described the government's brutal crackdown on dissent as necessary to promote economic growth; defended a law used to imprison scores of pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong as necessary to squelch separatism; and, when questioned about human rights, asserted that most of China's 1.4 billion citizens are "happy about where they are."

A former college lacrosse player with investments in the WNBA, Major League Soccer and professional lacrosse, Tsai sees himself as a bridge between two increasingly polarized cultures, according to sources close to him who spoke on condition of anonymity. He believes China's restrictions on personal freedoms have paved the way for economic development that has improved the lives of millions of its citizens.

But his positions and association with companies implicated in human rights abuses have drawn criticism from a bipartisan collection of U.S. officials, human rights activists and academics focused on China.

"Joe Tsai is emblematic of U.S. sports and business figures who are critical of American imperfections, as we all should be, but who make excuses for human rights atrocities committed in China, where he makes money," said Matt Pottinger, a former deputy national security adviser and China specialist in the Trump administration. "We're going to self-censor or even compliment the policies of a totalitarian dictatorship that's committing crimes against humanity?"

Tsai declined to be interviewed for this story.

Lol dude

You can’t post that in here.

People on NT love to ignore certain things and promote others.

This is on the ignore list. Need twitter to tell them what to be upset about first.

ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THE WARRIORS.

 

[antidope]

Lol at comparing geopolitics to things that the basketball player said… in the basketball thread.

Things that the owners do a far removed from what the players do.

You guys want to suffer through endless dialogue about the the vile things people do on that level go ahead. Start the dialogue no ones stopping you. Loop in all the owners too I am sure they’re all by and large terrible.

Or just post it in bad faith still

The atrocities committed by the Chinese to the Uyghurs people are absolutely disgusting and should warrant way more backlash.
The Shoah was absolutely disgusting and mentioning Hitler and his sinister endeavors and/or beliefs is unacceptable.

Two things can be true

Had a mvp type season with Russ
Should have been top 75

My initial thought was PG can not possibly be Top 75. Did my due diligence per usual....7X AS, 6X All-NBA, 4X All Defense, All Rookie MIP, 1X Steal Champ. 20/6/4 over 743 games. Looked up Dame....6X AS, 6X All-NBA, All-Rookie, All-NBA. 25/4/7 over 716 games.

PG might really be Top 75 material

100% factual. I’ve got guns, but would easily give them up and not think twice about it if it meant less shootings. But the majority of people here will strongly disagree with that. That’s why I’m all for the Cali people moving here to turn this **** blue. Just stop running the home prices up.

Texas is different bro. First time I went there was for work with my boss. We got scooped up art the airport and for the first time there were bodyguards to accompany us and I was thinking WTF. Maaannn we showed up to the corporate offices and there was everyone from employees to executives with holsters on em. I was shook as hell because I was talking to greasy to some of them before I saw how they roll in Texas firsthand. I was quiet as a church mouse the whole trip

It could've been worse.

At least he isn't mocking his death like @titang545

How was he mocking his death? He was just making a comment about how folks should move at a certain point. I don't think it was directed specifically at Takeoff either. It is applicable to folks of all walks of life
