****The Official 2013-14 NBA Thread****

Anyone who has payed attention to my comments about this story on here or Facebook know that I'm angry because Sterling has always been a ****bag and I think he should have been punished years ago. Bomani Jones basically says everything I think in this clip.

Is that THE Paul E Heyman in the bottom left corner? The 1 in 21-1 ?!?! The one whose client....brooooockkkk lesssnarrr conquered the streak?!?!?

 

Yeah no **** it came from me, I was beyond rip**** at the time.....at the time thats how I felt because that first report about his fine was a godamn joke. It would have been the case of the good ole boy network once again. Thank God it wasn't true and Mr. Silver did what he did, it is refreshing to know there are still some leaders around in certain areas.

Grow up with the psuedo "you're offended" crap.....smh.....

 

Nailed it. Bomani had also written an article back in 07 about this.

Money Mayweather likes to gamble too much. I doubt he has a chance.

 

I am just relieved that poor girl is free to post on social media and if someone don't like it we can sell off their personal possessions without their consent. God bless America. That scumbag almost set back civil rights 200 years. Thankfully the NBA self appointed bastions of justicr are protecting us from crimes against humanity.

 

Sterling gave his consent.

If you consent to be recorded for purposes of Recall, it is not illegal to make those recordings public unless there was monetary gain from the release of the recordings. Then you can be sued for a part of the proceeds.

 

In all fairness, it's not a PoFo thread until someone gets called a fascist/commie.

 

And adding a third person into the room you pretty much give up any presumption of privacy anyways.

 

If you believe that your hypothetical is in any way analogous to what happened to Sterling then it's clear that you have no understanding of what happened.

 

There goes our chance too then..... ..............

 

Yeah, sorry, anti-semitism offends me.

Why you would leap to the conclusion that this has anything to do with Silver and Sterling both being Jewish is beyond me, unless you're an anti-semite.

 

Ripped or not, joke or not, that was clearly an anti-Semitic statement. It's sort of ironic to bash one person's racist statement by making a prejudiced statement.

 

There is nothing Anti-Semitic about it...it is the establishment I have a problem with....whether it be black, white, jewish, catholic, republican, democrat....I dont like when things aren't called down the middle for what they are....

 

Durant gonna get a pass because Crawford "Iced" him. If it were Lebron.... "CHOKER!!! CHOKER!!!"

 

Melo to Miami makes more sense each passing day? He got em all, again? Discounted, again?

 

Why couldnt they do anything about it? According to everything going on now they have the right to do anything they want because he is part of a franchise. If they wanted him out they could of removed him back then

 

It was public record at the time in 2003. And regardless...why couldn't the NBA ban him for exhibiting racial discrimination? It's not like any legal issues got him banned this week. He's just a racist jerk. He was a racist jerk back then too. But the NBA didn't do anything because TMZ didn't blast it to everyone and because it had nothing to do with basketball.

 

Being stupid is not against NBA rules. Otherwise half the owners and 3/4ths of the players would be out of the league.

 

All I'm saying is that people who claim this week's incident is the proverbial straw that broke the bigoted camel's back are kidding themselves. His history of racism meant absolutely nothing to his getting banned. People ignored his racist behavior for years...and that stuff was far far worse. These tapes alone, because they got blasted to the public and named Magic Johnson, did the job.

 

They could have banned him. There was a much smaller backlash toward him in 2003 however.

Also, TMZ wasn't even around in 2003.

 

Agreed on those points. It's pretty sad that audio is what's needed to convince people that something should be done.

 

I was poking fun at the media trolls

 

So hes no longer your favorite player just because he changes teams? #BandWagonForDayz?

 

Should have just named him Oakley, like I suggested.

 

They don't really need the full story to kick him out of the NBA. The problem is that in 2003, information didn't spread nearly as fast. I don't even recall hearing about this. People were much less informed back then.

 

Pacers lose by 25 tonight.

 

That's impressive since they don't play tonight.

From what I've seen in these playoffs, they're very capable of that accomplishment.

I think it shouldn't be overlooked that in this madness (Sparta!!!) of a first round, Miami has taken care of business, and moved on a professional manner. While all the upper seeds either losing (OKC, Indy) tied (Toronto, San Antonio, Clippers) or lost (Chicago) Miami is sitting at home and looking pretty. It's not about just beating an inferior opponent, it's about being professional and taking care of business, one area that so many people overlook. How ****ing professional of a organization it is and how the players carry themselves. They supported the Clippers, they didn't overlook an opponent that could of easily stolen a game from them, and they say and do all the right things.


I guess all I'm trying to say is that it feels damn good being a supporter of this fantastic organization, especially compared to what we have here on the other end with the Dolphins
We need to enjoy this, HEAT fans. Because once this ride is over...we will not see this type of basketball again, and I don't think it's an overstatement.
Flying Death Machine.

 

You really should have bet him that Hibbert would drop an egg on points and boards again tonight.

 

Damn, I could have made some money
