Are these threads really necessary? Honestly?

If I was black, and played for that asshat owner, I'd probably say the same damn thing.
At least I'd say let's take a few days off as players, and let the league consider the relative value of a dried-up POS bigot vs the players fans actually pay to see.

The owner's product is dependent on talent he cannot reproduce.

Johnson has been saying this sort of thing for years. To make matters worse he is an executive with the Knicks.
quote:

During the 1999 NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs, Johnson caused a stir by saying: “We’ve got a lot of rebellious slaves on this [Knicks] team.”


quote:

When asked at the time why he referred to his teammates as slaves, Johnson said: “I’ve got to explain that to you? We don’t go with the mainstream.’’

Johnson was hired by the Knicks two years ago and serves many roles as a basketball and business operations representative. It’s unclear what his role will be under new team president Phil Jackson.
