KD’s comments are victim-laden ridiculousness, this isn’t a race issue. American basketball at the grass-roots level is filled with unqualified people “coaching” young players the game. They aren’t emphasizing fundamentals, how to block out, how to make an impact without scoring, how to move without the ball, how to react to double-teams, how to play defense with your feerand all sorts of stuff. Its not just bad black coaches, its coaches of all races. Ignorant doesn’t have a color.

J Will is a billion % right. These retards like Steve A just keep peddling racism. Somehow in their brainwashed minds racism in sports has gotten worse since Jackie Robinson. 😂. Sure, America was so racist when Jordan ruled. He was so oppressed. The world hated him 😂.

Stephen A will jump on anything to do with race. Morgan Freeman said it best. How do you stop racism? Stop talking about it.

S.A.S. has always had that racist mentality. You cannot call every player of his path a BROTHER, while the others are “good, but never brothers”. Racism in action, nothing else… It’s a shame, considering the place where he sits and his many years of work on TV. Nikola Jokić is an example. The man from 2019-2026 (almost 7 years) has the most points, rebounds and assists!!!, he is the best player that S.A.S. sometimes HAS to ADMIT it, but he also always says that he will never vote for him for the MVP award. Why? What is wrong with him,and why nobody ask him about that?

Thank you Jay Will. Bring some maturity and balance to the conversation, instead of adding on to the pathetic group think victim narrative.

If KD says they smacked them, then of course the expectation is going to be on the American players. It took a foreign player (Wemby), to put some validity back into the all star game. Stephen A. Trying to get back right with the black community after a terrible year.

JWill doesn’t even value his culture. He’s appears to be a sell-out, & ignores and tries to justify covert racism & reading between the lines. He’s always minimizing the truth.
