For the first time in NBA All-Star game history there are no white players. So Dirk Nowitzki is going to boycott, right? #Oscars
Anyone planning on boycotting? I just tweeted @ Jada Pickett Smith to see if she would help lead the charge.

Hence why they chose Sting for the halftime show.

Did Larry Bird just retire last year?

Well the fans did the voting.

Yeh, for some reason I think Spike Lee will be cool with this

Well obviously it's because no white players merited being selected to the ASG. How dare you even think to compare this the the blatant racism by the Academy Awards selection committee! Clearly the fact that zero black actors where nominated was completely based upon the bias of a certain skin color rather than the merit of performance (unlike the NBA ASG selections). There is simply just no other explanation! Don't try to tell me that Will Smith's lack of a nomination was a result of anything BUT racial prejudice. I mean sure he's been nominated twice before, but that was pre-Obama, Michael Brown, etc. when the veil still remained closed to the MASSIVE racial injustices that black folks are subjected to all day, every day in this country.

It's really disgusting. I am boycotting my men's league game next Monday in protest.

This is why I refuse to watch the NBA.

Klay Thompson will only give 50% effort in protest

I would say I am boycotting the All Star weekend...except...I already dont watch it.(Havent since TMac and Vince were tearing it up way back when). The whole process has been a joke for soo long. The players dont even take the game seriously. The only time I remember something meaningful or entertaining happening was when Shaq took the ball upcourt like a PG and turned the ball over trying to cross someone up.
I only watch a few NBA regular season games a year...then binge the entire playoffs(unless its an obvious sweep matchup).
