Jay Williams: "LeBron is the GOAT because of his social activism"

[Hey_zeus]

The same LeBron who didn't know anything about Tamir Rice when asked about it at the time?

That's his Gant moment imo. He fukked up eternally

 

[Hey_zeus]

Ali's whole claim is pretty much predicated on his activism.

This is kinda true. Anybody that thinks Ali is the GOAT doesn't know shyt about boxing. One of the ATGs

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

the only athlete i can see this argument working for at all is Muhammad Ali.

i have a lot of respect for brons off-the-field work.

Bron is a good nikka but this nonsense that ESPN spews does more harm for him that good people deadass annoyed of this gay ass shyt.

Big facts. Let Bron earn his love organically through the culture. Don't try to tell us WHY we should love him. The social media age is a double edged sword.

What a fukking horrible thread.

That's what happens when you have a bigger platform and use your popularity to showcase your philanthropy to help Black folks. Plus....he's still playing. Jalen did this as a retired player. More attention.

I see tons of talk by many in here about David Robinson and rarely do folks speak on his school which is almost 20 years old.

Admiral got a school?

Admiral got a school?

I’m going to start bringing it up every time someone talks about Hakeem giving him that work in the playoffs

 

[Black Lightning]

Admiral got a school?

Yep.

George Gerwin has one too.

Serious question. What’s Lebrons biggest activist statement? Or biggest statement in general?

[I AM WARHOL]

LeBron doesnt do anymore than his counterparts yet gets praised significantly more. To compare him to Ali or Jim Brown is an insult to those 2 and what they put on the line.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

It’s crazy how Bron gets so much credit for his school but Jalen Rose gets no credit for doing the same shyt

The list of NBA players or former NBA players who've built schools is probably closer to 100 than 10. But they'll never get the praise Bron gets. The thing I respect about them is they dont care. Bron would make sure Klutch called ever ESPN associate they got on speed dial to make it front page news

Serious question. What’s Lebrons biggest activist statement? Or biggest statement in general?

Wearing a I cant breathe t shirt and being vocal about things on twitter.

most of these NBA dudes “activism” is PC as fukk. Thats ESPN is comfortable putting on that show “Blackballed”. shyt is safe and is built around someone everyone disliked (Sterling)

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Wayman Tisdale is The GOAT. He had a mean guitar solo

 

[Bigblackted4]

People act like Bron is Ali on that front which is always annoying. Bron was scared to talk about shyt that was happening in his own backyard.
