Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving isn’t afraid to speak his mind. And like many others across the league, Irving wants to see change when it comes to the NBA logo. Los Angeles Lakers legend Jerry West has been the symbol of the league since 1969, but Irving believes that the league should do whatever it takes to make the late Kobe Bryant the new logo. "Gotta Happen," Irving wrote on his Instagram. "Idc what anyone says. BLACK KINGS BUILT THE LEAGUE."
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban told TMZ Sports that he’s on board with changing the NBA logo to Bryant. He said that he "would support it."
"I just think it's so much more than basketball," Cuban told TMZ. "He brought so many people together."

There are a lot of old games available on youtube.
“Is this sarcasm?”
In today’s world?...
What can they do to a silhouette to infer race?
There's no action, no life, no joy at all in basketball any more. It is literally almost as boring as baseball.
I can ignore it just as easily on the current channels.
Given that the NBA sees China and the CCP as the future of the league, they should switch to an Asian.
I know that there’s at least one Chinese player, but I have no idea of the players name, and I don’t really care enough to look it up.

(or something to that effect)
Bob Grant certainly made an accurate observation that remains true to this day...and will forever & ever.
The arrogance of blacks with their failed culture is exceeded only by their intellectual stupidity and inability to grasp reality.
