Black people and other minorites shouldn’t be stereotyped and disrespected by using them as logos, on pancake syrup labels, on rice boxes, etc. /s

Basaball is a Wite mans game , invented by a white man** and played inside white man designed buildings.

Black Kings did not build the league, they took their million dollar pay checks from the white man and then betrayed the hands that feed them.

I am not paying them any more. I am boycotting them.

Basketball is a white man’s game now played by a collective of spoiled, unAmerican ,black millionaire Uncle Toms.

(**James Naismith (November 6, 1861 – November 28, 1939) was a Canadian-American[1] physical educator, physician, Christian chaplain, sports coach, and inventor of the game of basketball)

Kyrie Irving is an ignorant bigot - if it wasn't for Jerry West, he wouldn't have a damned job.

The NBA was a minor sports league until the late 60's - up till then, you either rooted for the Celtics, or the "Washington Generals".

public school logic.

Which reminds me ...

Let's change the IDENTITY of public school to;

GOVERNMENT INDOCTRINATION CENTERS FOR THE CONQUEST OF THE U.S.A.

You’re a “king” because you can jump around and throw a ball through a hoop? And a white person who can do that isn’t a king, just a black person? WTF. Kobe Bryant is a racist.

Won’t work. Imagine they select Kobe as the new logo. His estate is still contracted to Nike I believe. That would give Nike claim to be the official shoe of the league. It would create much controversy and legal challenges I’d imagine.

What’s with the red, white and blue? The colors of both the Confederacy and the racist 1619 nation?

Make the logo green, red, and Black.

The “black kings” are also up in the rafters sitting up in the cheap seats while the whites and asians pay the freight with expensive court side seats.

How about “Go To Hell, NBA”

You guys is just a bunch of Black Kings who, if not playing basketball, would probably be in prison.

About 25 years ago the National Hockey League completely decimated its history by eliminating many of the iconic names of its past from its organizational structure. For decades, what is now the Eastern Conference was called the Prince of Wales Conference, and the Western Conference was the Campbell Conference. Within these conferences were the Patrick, Adams, Norris and Smythe Divisions — all of them named after NHL founders, previous league commissioners, etc.

The NHL ditched all of this because they wanted to market hockey to casual sports fans who have no appreciation for the game’s history and culture.

The NBA probably has the same challenge right now. It just doesn’t know it. I’ll bet most black NBA fans — and even most NBA players — have no idea who Bill Russell and Oscar Robertson were. They couldn’t tell you anything about Joe Dumars. In ten years they won’t even remember who Kobe Bryant was.

“I just think it’s so much more than basketball,” No, it’s still just a game.
“He brought so many people together.” Only to watch him play.

Yeah, the NBA should definitely take its lead from an overhyped player who went AWOL from the Brooklyn Nets for a week & a half last month, offering no reason.

He didn't even have the decency to notify his head coach prior to his disappearing act.

BTW, the Nets happened to go 5-2 during his absence.

Who cares about sports? The, “Black people built America” revisionist history is far more insidious.

Keep digging, the eventuality is they will be televising these NBA events at the local urban basketball park where it all began
