I haven't watched yet, but this just dropped. I figured there would be lots of interest in it here and probably more on MSB than MTV.

Surprised they haven’t protested the racism yet

When his memory dies, they will replace it...

Most likely with Kobe Bryant.

That would be stupid. Even Jordan himself has said it should stay as Jerry West.

The rape thing probably disqualifies him from that. I could see Jordan but the air Jordan logo is already arguably more famous than the NBA logo. I don’t really see a need to change the logo?

That's because you're not a liberal arts major from Seattle or Montpelier.

Just watched it. I thought it was really good. Gave me some white pride seeing all the black players talk about how badass this country boy from West Virginia was.

His character in Winning Time was pretty intense

The rape thing
What rape thing? The thing the accuser admitted lying to authorities about? And wouldn’t testify? Cause that’s not keeping him from being the logo

When he died and people reflected on his life, there wasn’t a “yeah but he raped that girl.” Not even from the woke insufferables. Everyone knows it was bullshite

Fine. Maybe you’re right. I would also say the NBA logo shouldn’t feature a guy who was busted cheating on his wife in a way that it became front page news.

I mean Jerry West cheated on his wife too

The CO thing is memory holed to a lot of people to begin with. Kobe’s legacy today is as a family man

I had to google to discover that. Maybe the NBA needs to go the way of MLB and NFL and create a shield or have a generic player?

One of the most impressive PR jobs of my lifetime.

This is what I believe. The fact that she didn’t testify doesn’t mean shite when you realize many accusers don’t follow through. Going up against Kobe and a team of all star lawyers probably wouldn’t have ended well for her either way.

She was paid off to disappear entirely. A mutually agreeable outcome if you're eager to put a matter to bed, regardless of what actually happened

Though showing up to the rape examination a day later with another guy's DNA in her body suggests extracting both fluid and money from men is a core competency
