R U woke?

Either someone wrote this for him or Korver genuinely thinks that he, making $7.5MM a year, has more in common with his spectators than his colleagues. One is annoying, the other is alarming.

I thought he was going to discuss being discriminated against being a white basketball player in the NBA. Jeremy Lin certainly showed how white and black people say nasty things about Asian players.

Yeah, especially since they keep trying to turn hip hop into pasteurized "pop" music fit for morning drive on B96, and pass off shitty barbeque as "competition" quality.

Korver should give up his Mercedes, mansion, give his 30 mil net worth to the cause, and go live in the ghetto. That would be heart felt.

What an incredible bubble. NBA players, and really every athlete at this level are separated from the pack at a very young age and told they are special. I would love to see any high level athlete spend a week in a cubicle.

Lebron James was driving a decked out Hummer to his private high school, and he's here to tell us about oppression.

Yes, but this line in particular:



Do you really, though? This is a weird sort of twist-and-a-half on Joakim Noah saying he plays for the guys in the 300 level, which gave Dan Bernstein a conniption fit because to him this meant Noah wasn't playing on behalf of, like, Rich Melman or something. Kyle Korver seems to think the white bourgeoisie are his people more than his black peers are. NBA tickets aren't cheap, anyone who's at a game is probably doing fine, but there's still a pretty big gap between some Salt Lake City car dealer at a Jazz game and a guy who has made tens of millions of dollars, and not only that, has made those millions in much more proximity to black people and black culture than the aforementioned SLC car dealer.

Bernstein got upset about that? That's SO Bernstein.

There is absolutely zero chance that his statement is true. One of the noble things that sports was supposed to do was to bring people together, show them that we are basically the same if we have the same experiences. Now Kyle Korver an NBA veteran thinks that he has more in common with Tom Smith who works in sales, and is worried about his next mortgage payment than Steph Curry.

JFC, it was a joke. Do you have to get so triggered in every exchange based on race?

Sarah Spain has a tweet embedded in that article about how awesome it is . I always love when Ivy League educated people who used her own “ privilege “ to whore hersel....errr break into the sports media and live in million dollar homes in the city lecture me about how important it is to listen to minorities and the marginalized.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Somehow these people feel impotent without a government guiding them (or forcing them at gunpoint). Jim Carrey, for example, is constantly on about income inequality. But he apparently wants someone else to "DO SOMETHING!" about it. As if he couldn't shed all but, let's say, $500,000 of his vast wealth by sharing the rest with people who have less.

I remember seeing an interview with him years ago where when he first started out in the industry and was broke he wrote himself a $20 million check and how proud he was when the day came that he could finally Had enough money to cash it .

Jim Carrey has been irrelevant and unfunny since he hijacked "In Living Color". Sarah Spain is flat out useless.

The SOMETHING they should do is go away.

I guess you can say it’s harmless by itself, but it’s part of a wave that’s entered our politics. We are getting away from judge me by my accomplishments not what I look like.

I dont know what to say about Korver and this overall.

But I think this is what he meant about having more in common...

In other words, I can say every right thing in the world: I can voice my solidarity with Russ after what happened in Utah. I can evolve my position on what happened to Thabo in New York. I can be that weird dude in Get Out bragging about how he’d have voted for Obama a third term. I can condemn every racist heckler I’ve ever known.

But I can also fade into the crowd, and my face can blend in with the faces of those hecklers, any time I want.

nice white people feel guilty about not doing something, short of giving away all their money. so they post SJW platitudes on the internet.

There aren't black people in the crowds of NBA games heckling people? Police don't injure or fuck up the lives of non-black people?

It's pearl clutching nonsense. Kyle Korver has far more in common with Russel Westbrook than he does with you or I. They are famous multimillionaires.
