Fans getting on Maria Taylor for not voting AD on her All-NBA ballot

[MustafaSTL]

The issue is that Greg Logan's ballot is FAR worse than hers. There's not just some accidental omission, those are just insanely stupid picks across the entire ballot.

Yet you know as a fact that because she's a Black woman, she's gonna take far more derogatory abuse on social media than he ever will.

It's one of those things where I WANT to call the person out, but would be smart enough to hold my tongue once I thought through for just 5 seconds what the consequences would be. Of course anyone who wants to know will find out on their own. So what good does it do to amplify it and wake up the trolls?

GamerGate trolls literally created Candace Owens and we want to pretend this shyt doesn't have consequences.

He’s getting roasted on Twitter.

nikkas would hate me if I had a vote.

entire Hawks staring 5 being voted for my All NBA team


If one of y’all try to expose me on Twitter I’m telling you to pull up

Since we are already discussing this, this man needs to be banned from covering any sports

i thought the voters names get released all the time when it comes to all nba teams and awards???

pretty sure they do, but i guess jemele is arguing the way it was posted specifically to call out who didn't vote for AD and draw attention to them.

usually people just don't pay attention when it gets released or you gotta dig for it yourself because nobody cares to post it like that.

 

[Cynical Thoughts]

how do you leave AD off all 3 all NBA teams???? fukk doug gottlieb and IDC if she a man or a woman but thats a pretty bad mistake




Sidenote......anyone know how do they pick who gets to vote for the all NBA teams and MVP and shyt? like why they dont got shaq kenny charles Cwebb Reggie as voters but they do got Jalen and Dennis Scott and Marv and Greg Anthony and EJ?

It’s only a mistake cause it got out.

What’s crazy is these are the clowns and other nba’ers that started the narrative “best player on the best team”. 1. Cause they are to lazy to actually watch games and 2. For fear or offending a certain player.

How easy is that, pick the best player on one of the top 3 teams or just follow the media’s narrative. That’s proly how they got the job anyway.

It’s mvp of the NBA not mvp of the best team. Cause it’s obvious all organizations aren’t built the same.

If you can’t tell the difference from a player who is really good on a bad team from a player who only looks good cause he gets more shot cause he’s on a bad team, you don’t need a vote.

Coli should get a vote if this is the criteria

 

[rbksNgirbauds]

Look at asianthoughts trying to derail the thread after getting called out for his bullshyt

I thought he was black? He promptly showed me proof a couple weeks back

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

You don’t think real world shyt was going on from 2015-2018? Real world problems just came about in 2020? We can name thousands of things going on in the world from 2015-2018. We can also enjoy our sports if that’s what we choose to enjoy. You choose to care about the real world now when your squad is shytty. I live in St. Louis where the city was on fire in 2014 for the world to see after Michael Brown. I saw real world shyt on my door step. So don’t come do that shyt.

nikka I'm not telling you what to be outraged about so don't tell me what to be outraged about and I'm not outraged over this dumb shyt.

Lakers fans asked question and someone gave us an answer. Not our fault she doesn’t wanna own up and call it a mistake when she picked him #2 on DPOY.

Why the fukk does she have a vote

 

[PortCityProphet]

She took on the responsibility when she accepted being a voter. The only weirdos are those being misogynistic or racist. The rest are holding her accountable for an important vote. And it’s not just the contracts. But also legacies on the line for these teams. If she didn’t want that responsibility, then don’t accept being a voter.

Bruh legacies are made up hogwash that are 100%dependent on who you ask
End of the day the dude is on the team so everything about this irrelevant. She isn't the only voter to decide who does and doesn't make the team so her individual vote doesn't actually have the weight you're trying to give it. How 1 person votes does not override the collective, and if the collective is that close for 1 vote to make or break a player chances then it's not an obvious pick in the 1st place so the "outrage" would be unnecessary just like it is now.
She's handling her responsibilities just fine. You're making way too big a deal out of it my guy.

You’re literally doing that yourself. Trying to tell people this is nothing and to not discuss it because real world things are going on. And since this is your stance, I shouldn’t see you post in a single non political/rona related thread from here on out. Real world shyt will be going on forever.
