TMZ ran up on Simmons and asked him about Shaq and Lebron's new TV shows...and in usual "Jealous Cac Sportswriter" fashion he hated on black athletes making power moves...video in link.

I like some of what Simmons does but dude is way slick when it comes to talking about black athletes making moves outside of basketball...In his 2013 NBA rankings he railed on Michael Jordan, the only black owner in sports and told him to sell the team. Then in another video where Jalen was talking to him about KG's brand from the early 2000s 'Original Black Family' he starts snickering and asking 'well how did that go...?'
IMO black fans need to start calling out these SWS media members, and that includes Simmons types who hate seeing black men make moves that aren't bouncing a ball.
Here's the video where he shyts on Jordan as an owner...
