The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[DLF]

Remember when NT laughed as this guy was blackballed out of the league bc his protest would hurt the nba and the shoes on their feet

Internet activists are something else. Was his process flawed? (teaming up with Fox News) sure. But the message is what’s important

Having to meet with Joe Tsai to show understanding is wild man

Midas whale meet all the requirements then take the meeting with Joe and bring up all of his laundry

Full blown power point and everything

Well this game sucks now. If yall ever get a chance, go see the Grand Canyon. So fire

did the 16 mile out and back trail to see the canyon. stupidly only packed like 10 bottles between like 4 homies. really had me contemplating if i was gonna have to drink my own urine

the view was incredible tho. hella vast. something that's hard to put into words other than surreal and legitimately grand.

If he has the patience. He should do EVERYTHING on the list

Then a week or two after playing and playing his heart out…

Come out and say he learned a lot about hate and how it must be stopped. Then bring up china. Drop the mic moment. Come with facts. Ask the league and tsai publically to denounce hate in china. Boom

Is one of the leaders he has to meet with the Ambassador who said he was “put in his place”?

supporting antisemitism is stupid.. it's great that they're "asking" kyrie to get more informed.

that said, next time an nba player says something racist towards any community, gonna need the NBA to keep this same energy.

 

[tomdiginson]

It's very Rich of Tsia telling Kyrie he needs to do XYZ when he hasn't condemned the religious persecution taking place in his home country.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Like M Mark Antony said, it is hilarious people are invoking Malcom to defend Kyrie.

It doesn't even make sense given what Kyrie did.

It is a bad comparison on so many levels

Is it the tequila or is it getting harder to ignore CP3 in the MVP convo?

Kyrie is a Jew.... He also denounced the "antisemitic" parts of the doc. They're trying to "put him in his place" and send him on that same antisemitism world tour that they made Nick Cannon go through. Also, you and I both know they're not going to keep the same energy. NBA wouldn't even allow players to publicly denounce China.

watchin the suns/blazers game and they got fans racing to make human hamburgers during the break

The first Jew to partake in Ramadan

The first Jew to partake in Ramadan

Not true at all. Plenty of people, who aren't Muslim and may be of another faith partake in fasting either during Ramadan or random other parts of the year.

In fact, here's a link to an example.

I’m Jewish, but the Ramadan fast deepens my connection to God

The hunger that comes with Ramadan teaches lessons about poverty and charity. It also reminds us that we should put our faith in God.

I specifically said JEW. Do a poll on this board and ask any Jewish people if they've ever observed Ramadan and watch what answers you get.

Go reread my post. I gave you an example. Judaism isn't solely an ethnic religion. So, if you go through the proper process, you can be a JEW too.

When I lived in Bahrain, it wasn’t uncommon to see non Muslims partake in Ramadan

Some man gonna tell you NTer's don't do it, so must not be true as their reference.

He's not the first and he's not the last. Are there any points you want to make or do you just want to antagonize? We get it, you and that rustyshackleford dude don't like Kyrie.

This has nothing to do with what I'm saying. I said NOTHING about race/ethnicity. I simply said to ask how many people who are Jewish (whether it's their "race" or religion) observe Ramadan.

 

[RustyShackleford]

This has been one of the weirdest and funniest parts of this situation that has gotten near zero attention. That Kyrie is supposedly a devote Muslims but this "Blacks are the real Jews" thing he seemingly believes in comes from whole other religion. And the only way to really reconcile the two is for Kyrie, and in turn his supports, to act like the teachings of the Black Hebrew Israelites are historical fact.

Seen so many people defending Kyrie ignore this contradiction. And tacitly expect others to as well

I don't "like" none of these ******. I watch these ****** play basketball and Kyrie is a wizard at it. FOH

I told you that there are Jewish people that observe Ramadan. Then you said "JEW" . I provided you with proof of someone who is Jewish that observes Ramadan and now you're just having a melt down and arguing for the sake of.
