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

[GunRanger]

How can you make a mistake on an online vote?


This is bill simmons ballot. It was done online::

What could she have messed up?


Jemele hill is a clown


These teams affect legacies and contracts. You cant just say "my bad" when youre called out

 

[Rekkapryde]

She said it was a mistake I believe her. No way anybody who covers basketball for a living would KNOWINGLY leave AD off of the all nba ballots.

On another note fukk Dweeb Gottlieb and anybody that love him

this.

So this is where it’s tricky for me because it does suck that stuff like this opens the door for trolls on social media to be misogynistic and racist.

But as well, I fully believe reporters should be held accountable for their votes on things like these.

I think you can denounce the trolls coming at Maria but also feel she should be held accountable for a glaring omission. Both things can be true.

Because if this was Skip Bayless or John Doe or whoever, the vitriol would be just as bad. I don’t think just because she’s a woman that she shouldn’t be held accountable. Some try-hards IMO always hide behind the feminist wave to complain why women should never be held accountable when they screw up.

But yeah, the other side of that is it opens the door for idiots like Doug Gottlieb to spew his crap.

Preach

I think Doug has a valid point tho

Dwade got a all nba 2nd team vote his last season.

and it was well deserved. the level of defending when his daughter son revealed itself had never been seen before

You stupid

but he's on the allnba team.
How many unanimous all nba teams kobe, Mj, Kareem, Magic,Bird etc got? who knows and nobody gives af cause it's irrelevant to a "legacy" great players get remembered for being great not unanimous ALL NBA teams.
and it aint the voter's responsibility to worry bout these guys pockets. that's on the league and NBAPA for agreeing to dumb ass qualifiers in order to get paid in the 1st place. If somebody is on the edge then that means other folks didn't think that person belonged also.

If a voter doesn't wanna vote for somebody than that's their right. as long as they vote for another player who they feel is deserving and not some bismack bimbo type nikka then aint nothing wrong with it

Nobody is talking about unanimous first team. They’re trying to figure out how he was left off first, second, and third team altogether. Again, the single vote for AI over Shaq didn’t change the 2000 MVP winner, but he got called out for a dumb ass vote. She said she made a mistake, so it wasn’t about her wanting to vote for somebody else. And like I also already said, what if her mistake was for a fringe all NBA player like Beal who now misses out on a super max contract? If she didn’t want the responsibility of having her vote matter for those contracts, then don’t accept being one of the voters. She didn’t have to be a voter. But since she did, she should be held accountable for her votes like everyone else.

 

[Paper Boi]

that thug Doug Gottleib trying to steal her vote?

 

[MustafaSTL]

Wasn't no Rona mismanagement in 2016

Wasn't no AFFH repeals going on in 2016

Wasn't no slavery being taken out of history classes in 2016

Wasn't no



In 2016...must I continue?

That's like asking black lives matter folk why they only marching when someone gets killed by police.

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.

Like I said it's not her responsibility or concern to get players paid. that's on those dumb ass qualifiers the nba has. get rid of dumb ass max and Beal can walk in any office with his own number, that's not on her or any voter.
and only reason she talkin bout mistakes cause weirdos coming at her over this dumb stuff.

you acting like she out there making up 2k players and shyt to put on there.there's no direct qualifiers on any of these voting matters so however anybody votes that's their choice and weirdo fans have to accept it and other writers have to accept it

Where's Stephon Marbury to cook this clown again?


And these nikkas better leave my baby mama alone.

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.

 

[Family Lives Matter]

She deserves the vote
She deserves to be called out
She doesn't deserve abuse

 

[Professor Emeritus]

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.

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Unless this affected an incentive AD had in his contract to get money...who cares

Dude that even tweeted and started this whole thing was some weak shiit honestly

This situation just shows downside of social media

That’s a good point but he still got first team so it wouldn’t seem to affect him at all

 

[Big Boss]

People been looking for the lone outlier voter since forever. I remember when Shaq didn’t get unanimous MVP in 2000 because of one voter and people found out who is was and trashed him. And like someone said, this isn’t some “meaningless” thing. Bonuses and legacies matter a lot when it comes to all star and All NBA teams. It may not matter for AD, but what if she made that “mistake” for someone like Beal who was on the edge of being on the team, and now he misses out on the super max because of her “mistake.” People get called out for their bad votes all the time. Same thing like in college football when some rogue voter has Bama or OSU like 25th or some shyt because of shytty reason. People call them out. Same should happen to her and anybody else. Her being a woman means shyt.

facts jordan should have got unanimous MVP in 96 when the bulls went 72-10
