J.R. Smith says Sam Dekker only teammate he disliked: "Talking some Trump s—"

J.R. Smith and Sam Dekker spent just a few weeks playing together on the Cavaliers in 2018. Dekker got injured then traded to the Wizards, who were the last NBA team to take a flier on the former first-rounder out of Wisconsin. Smith got long-term deactivated by Cleveland (then eventually joined the Lakers this season).
But Smith spent enough time with Dekker to form an opinion.
Smith, via “All Things Covered“:
Throughout my whole career, it’s only one teammate I really don’t like. And he know that. And everybody else, I’m just cool with.
This dude Sam Dekker, dog. I can’t – this dude. He did some bulls— on the bus one day, talking some Trump s—, and I just wasn’t having it.
For what the question he asked, it’s a thought pattern. You’re taught that. It’s not like – it’s the hate you give. And I feel like it’s something you’re taught. It’s not – the privilege he has was taught to him, and he took heed of it and run with it even further than somebody who was not – who was oblivious to what they have and what the life they lived. Because some people just go through their life – not not necessarily knowing, but not aware and privy to somebody else’s circumstances. He’s a person who’s just very aware of somebody else’s circumstances and want to keep them there, as opposed to try to help him elevate up. And I don’t respect anything about that.

This makes no sense. Most of that didn’t make any sense.
ETA: his heart is in the right place. There are people who are less fortunate and JRS seems sympathetic to them. That’s admirable. But did he ever consider that his former teammate wasn’t intentionally trying to hold them down but rather trying to leave it up to them to raise themselves up? He assumes that the other individual is malicious in their views when he likely isn’t.

Is that English?

I couldn't make it through the quote. The guy that wrote that piss poor excuse for English is a millionaire and talking about others' privilege?

Sounds like he needs to go back and graduate 6th grade

I hate J.R. Smith along with every person that has his mindset. It's nothing but constant diarrhea of the mouth.

Why do I get the feeling J.R. Smith just learned to speak English this past week?
Posted on 10/26/20 at 3:58 pm to Wally Sparks
I have no idea who either person is. I haven’t watched the NBA in about 7-8 years. Why is this news? Why should we care?
Posted on 10/26/20 at 3:59 pm to Wally Sparks
J.R. Smith is the Forrest Gump of the NBA, so this doesn’t surprise me.

What first thought when reading that quote was the confused Nick Young meme.

Smith was a priveliged black kid who came out of private school and got drafted straight into the league.
Being in the league turned him into the tatted up half-literate a-hole he is today.

I’ve never heard of JR Smith.
Why should I care what he thinks?

A guy who gets paid millions of dollars to throw a ball through a hoop and wants to lecture us on privilege.

Is there an Ebonics App in the App Store?
