Jay Williams calls out the NBA players complaining about the bubble

[Versa]

Every single one of you who brought up his motorcycle accident are absolute fukking bozos.

"This person made a poor decision in the past so that automatically disqualifies them from being right in the future."

Goofy asses.

You can’t have 200+ millionaires who regularly get what they want, when they want living in a bubble and not expect people to complain. The entire NBA bubble is a farce.

If you have to play in a bubble, maybe it’s tone death to have sports in the first place. Jay Williams is an idiot.

Jay Williams was on First Take for WEEKS arguing they should NOT play at all. The players AGREED to go to the bubble.

So why are you mad at Jay but not the players?

 

[NOSaintsFan02]

Not mad that they're complaining. Context is everything. NBA players live a different lifestyle than 99.99% of the population. Jay should know this.

And EVERYONE's lifestyle was flipped upside down with this pandemic.

So what did the NBA do? Hold countless meetings where they told the players if yall want to come back, things won't be as glitz and glamours as we are used to.

And what happened? I'd say 90% of the players were all down for it, even though a few quipped along the way. The NBA straight up told them "We can cancel this thing if yall want" and the players said No, led by the biggest player in the world who went notably quiet on social media about the whole debate but was behind the scenes saying "Hell yeah we are going to finish this out".

So again, to the "NBA players have a right to complain about the logistics" crowd, I still don't follow yall logic when THE PLAYERS VOTED THEMSELVES TO RETURN KNOWING WHAT THE NEW LIFE WOULD BE.

It’s unrealistic to think a bunch of young, highly successful millionaires would adapt easily to potentially living in a bubble for 3 months.

The same issues happen with soccer teams during World Cups. You can’t house highly successful professional players in accommodations that don’t match the standard they’re used to with their teams and regular lives. And that doesn’t factor in, we’re in a pandemic and they’re away from their families for some potentially a month.

Jay Williams had the cruise ship idea back in April. That was even worst.

During an appearance on Golic and Wingo, Williams suggested that the NBA take over a couple cruise ships, build basketball courts, isolate the players (and their families) and hold the playoffs on the cruise ships. It wasn’t quite as bad as the idea of the NFL building an isolated city in Nebraska, but it was close.

Complain in a group text to people who would Actually sympathize with you then. They really thought your average 9-5 person is gonna feel bad because they have to eat food not up to their standard for 48 hours

Some players love social media and there’s a ton of intrigue into the bubble. All you need is a handful to complain for it to be news.

Again, these players are used to a certain standard. Any deviation from that, you’re going to hear an outcry.

Why are people acting like it isn't only a handful out of hundreds that are complaining? Like did anyone expect any better from a nikka like JR either?

Why are people berating the whole League for the actions of a few?

Some are just getting jokes off, most are saying it isn't as bad as advertised.

People regurgitating players are whigning in mass is some sort of Mandela Effect thing.

Goofy asses.

People will bring back anything remotely negative from someone’s past as some sort of counterpoint. He’d probably go back and live in a bubble like bubble boy to see what he could’ve been and make that real bread anyway.

yeah almost everyone is just joking or talking about how weird it is, which it is. It’s 2020 and weird is the new normal and we’re all joking about it.

I’m mad I laughed

 

[the cool]

To be fair, I only saw maybe less than 5 players complaining; most seem to be cool with it. Check this nba bubble follow

Yeah I been following. Good follow. A lot of the players seem to be having fun

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Sports should be a reward for a society.

And this ain’t the time for it honestly.

 

[mbewane]

Not a big fan of the idea of the bubble itself, that being said how many have really been complaining? I saw J.R, which I put down to his usual fukkery. I think I caught another tweet or whatever and that's it (Pat Bev maybe? Don't remember the player tbh). Everything else I saw is them looking happy, training, settling down, etc. How many players have really come out and complained?

Their jobs pay them millions... there is complaining and then there is whining. shyt comes off as whining

Because they generate BILLIONS. Nobody complains when regular nikkas complain about conditions at yall jobs. You think a nikka without a job wanna here you bytch about single ply toilet paper or not enough PTO? Dont stop yall from doing it so why shouldn't they voice their issues. Yall saying "if you dont like it, dont play" can take your own advice. If you dont like it, dont read/watch it. Yall nikkas weird.
