Well tell that to many successful people then. Don't single out Steph. Who the hell does he want their role models to be? Who would he suggest come talk to these kids then? Can't be anybody who had any type of advantage in life. Can't be any leaders of society cause its only a few of them.
Dude wrote a trash blog post with a bunch of generic talking points and unnecessarily centered it around Steph with bullshyt reasoning, plain and simple.

Steph is relevant right now though fam. It's social commentary. The larger meaning applies to everyone.

And You serious? Any productive member of society can talk to them. Especially one who didnt grow up with a silver spoon as it means more and shows them it's possible. Athlete's would be fine too if 99.9% of them didn't have things out of their control such as genetics working for them. Look at most communities. Ballers and entertainers are not who young black men and women should be aspiring to be. What about our scientists, professionals in healthcare and industry, etc. Seeing young doctors that look like you can have a string effect on a young mind, just as seeing your favorite sports hero.

So the teacher would rather have Marshawn Lynch come talk to the youth?

Of course he would. :beastswag:

I hear what you saying, and those are good points about Steph as a role model....but at the end of the day does being polite and doing the responsible thing of NOT having illegitimate kids put these kids in a stable career or on their way to being productive members of society? Not really. The guy in a round about way was basically saying in the Bay these kids only role models are athletes or entertainment. Two industries where it is impossible for the vast majority people to break into. They need actual role models and goals that they can really strive to attain. Steph worked hard, nobody is saying he didn't, but he started way higher up the ladder than most kids in the country to get to a height that none of them will probably ever achieve.

Yeah, the obstacles Steph has had to overcome pale in comparison to those kids who are growing up in poverty.

But I think it's wrong to frame Steph's entire visit the way the teacher has. To suggest that any sort of interaction with those kids would be detrimental is a shytty view to take imo.

I remember Dale Davis said something to a similar effect to a bunch of kids at City College. He was on some "99% of you guys are not gonna make it" type shyt. That whole time he wasn't stressing basketball. He was 100% on that fall back and have something to lean on which is education. While this teacher's dead on, why would the teacher assume Curry wouldn't keep it 100 with the kids there?

suge knight said it the best about teachers, they teach because they cannot do

a person who cannot will never say that you can, and if I was a parent who had a child at the school I would not want him teaching my child

I agree, but it was done to draw attention to his point. Writing trick. I'm sure he wouldn't be salty if Steph had a chance to speak to young kids at his school.

Teachers can't do what they teach?

Huh? What the hell kind of quote is that?

Another thing. If you ask a bunch of 3rd graders what they want to be. They might say an NBA player a NFL player. But by the time high school rolls around unless that kid is already playing ball for the school, he prob has moved on from that notion. You add up freshman, jv, varsity bball squad at most that's less than 100 kids out of maybe 2,000 in a high school. And of those 100 players many of them Dont realistically dream of going pro. This teacher is acting like the entire black population of his school is tryna be a pro baller

And Its low key racist to assume every young black person wants to be an NBA player, anyway.

Teacher should be fired.

Huh?

No, if they could do would doing what is their teaching as a PROFESSION not teaching it

If he to enter a fighter in a tournament to save your life, would you choose a boxing trainer or a world boxing champion

People teach because they never made it or they are retired, past their prime
