re: Diversity In Basketball Continues To Trigger Players And Commentators

Im talking about the content of the article you clearly judged based on a headline without actually reading. The hallmark of a discerning, high IQ mind.
You also yet again answered a question with a question, simply implying you're better informed without actually giving an ounce of substance.
Is globalizing basketball meant to whiten the sport, or not? If so, is that a problem?

Why don't you start by looking up the question KD was asked that led to that response.
How does the original question (which I can’t find btw) matter?
KD went off because of the discussion around AAU ruining bball. He says everyone say the white Europeans do it right. Literally no one says that.
He conveniently leaves out that people actually say the same thing about travel ball ruining baseball.
He brings race into an issue that’s not about race. AAU and travel ball ruins their sports because they magnify adults making money off kids.
But please tell me how KD isn’t being blatantly racist.

No one really wants diversity. Some people just think that they do. Typically one look at their own life will show them otherwise.

How does the question asked matter when evaluating the response? Are you being serious

You are literally proving my point. You don't even know what he was responding to. Hint: it had 0 to do with anything AAU related.

JFC, why do you keep bringing up AAU ball when that was not even remotely being discussed.

First, look up the question he was responding to and tell me if you think his response is a reasonable one.

Dont forget Max McClung. Best dunker in the world and didnt get to do the dunk contest because nobody else wanted to if he was in it.
....and they had the worst dunk contest ever.

The fact you think KD was addressing the globalization of the sport again illustrates my point. You have no idea what he was referring to in his response

I am speaking of Stephen A Smiths rant that was embedded in the article you didn't read. I already said that in this thread.
You are a half wit parading around as a superior mind. Keep posting without saying anything. I'm sure you'll convince other dullards.

You responded to my post regarding KD’s out of context quote. I made no reference to SAS. Nice try though.

I don’t know why any self respecting white person watches the NFL or NBA. Every so often, their employees literally admit that they don’t like you and are sick of you for being white.

What was KD talking about in that quote? Have you made any progress figuring that out?

You just described 80% of black athletes.

Black players can dislike all they want, but the league will become more white over the coming years. The emphasis placed on the 3 point shot has been somewhat of an equalizer for white players. It plays to the historic strengths of many white players who have to rely on ball handling and shooting accuracy over raw athleticism. Cooper Flagg is a unicorn and would flourish whether the 3’s had become more important or not.

I asked for your take on the article. Since then you've projected your low intellect and have yet to post one substantive observation. You came here to condescend. You have no position. Prove me wrong.
Did you read the article?

What am i making up?
Mac McClung says he chose not to enter the dunk contest because several NBA players didn’t want to compete if he was in it:
“I think there was just back and forth of us being like this, and then they were calling me, being like 'People didn't want to do it if I was doing it', and I thought it's best if I just sit out this year and let it be, no matter what.”

So, if I am reading this correctly...
Them damn Slavs of the former Yugoslavia put out some pretty good players.
Other than that, it is sports. I got no time to worry about anything anyone said.
Let me know how it turns out.

The list of top 20 most career 3 pointers made in NBA history is 19 black dudes and Kyle Korver.
Maybe 18.5 depending on how you want to classify Jason Kidd

Do you think KD has a point when pointing out a disparity in the criticism Jokic and Luka receive regarding their effort level in ASGs compared to some other players?
Posted on 2/26/26 at 11:09 am to EvrybodysAllAmerican
He “didn’t get to” implies it wasn’t his decision. He chose not to compete when most of us were hoping he would. That’s what you made up.
