"The state of racism will never die, but what we cannot do is allow it to conquer us as people. We can't allow it to divide us," said James, the four-time league MVP. "The guy in control has given people and racism, and negative racism, an opportunity to be out and outspoken without fear. And that's the fearful thing for us because it's with you, and it's around every day. But he's allowed people to come out and just feel confident about doing negative things.

My favorite was Dr.J because he NEVER complained to the refs, unlike the spoiled brats of today’s NBA.

Lew Alcindor came to our uni to give a talk. He wanted to talk politics. We wanted to hear about basketball. He was creepy. Same thing here.

____

Lew has been over the edge for a very long time

Now he's just a blathering old fool with a tired, flat hook shot.

Calling everyone you disagree w/ a racist isn't divisive.

Calling for the murder of policemen isn't divisive.

Disrespecting the American Flag isn't divisive.

Accusing every white person guilty of "white supremacy" isn't divisive.

Did you ever hear of Connie Hawkins?

He was spectacular too. He had some trouble early in his career which screwed up his professional career. But what an ARTIST ON THE COURT!

I watched him here in Pittsburgh ...for the Pittsburgh Rens and the Pipers back in the 60's.

He was as fine on a basketball court as Chopin on the piano.
