NBA is alienating its white fans. They may get away with it in Portland and L.A. but that stuff isn’t going to fly in Middle America. It’ll be interesting to see how Oklahoma City, Indiana, Utah teams all do in a year from now.

Boycott Basketball and make these dummies work real jobs for a living - like something that requires brain talent and ingenuity (not that they’ll qualify).

They should televise a game with a bunch of old white farts. Skins and shirts.

because of sports betting. I watched a kid in his 20s from Illinois win over a million bucks a couple of weeks ago on Collin M winning a golf tournament

nba players encouraging resisting arrest, getting unruly citizens paralyzed from the waist down or killed, doesn’t seem very productive.

Are they basketball players or community organizers? Professional sport is over.
