Won’t matter. Basketball is a global sport and there are plenty of other leagues if players need money.

-In China the average player now makes a million dollars

-In the EuroLeague Alexey Shved is making 4,000,000 dollars right ( with food and housing) a NBA named player would easily cake in the EuroLeague.

-Sneaker endorsements ( Every NBA player has one and they start at 200,000 annually as of 2017)

Nba players have so many ways to make money outside of the NBA.

Alexey Shved plays in Russia.
Playing for white Russian owners is no better than playing for white American NFL owners.
lol at NBA players going to Russia to cake. They'd rather negotiate and play in America I'm sure.

NFL owners and NBA owners for the most part come from the same demographic, so not understanding why he thinks their beliefs would be any different.
I wonder how Stan Kroenke, an old white man who owns the Rams and the Nuggets feels about this.
NBA and NFL share an owner, but this guy wants to go in on the NFL like his league is different.

More like the NBA is all about the players as the best players are just a lot better to watch. The NFL, outside of the QBs, no one else really matters to the owners
Because guys get hurt too much. If football players lasted 10+ years like nba stars, they would have more leverage.


Nfl teams have 53 man rosters + 10 man practice squads who make 7,300 a week. It's not comparable

I'll say this; I'm glad he speaking up, but, I'm gonna need something a little more thought out than that.

I just scared he isn't based in real information.

He sounds like twitter/thecoli user. Granted, he ain't Charles Barkley, but, I hope he expanding on this knowledge.

The "white NFL owner thinks this is a plantation" thing is about two years late.

I've heard ppl say it; Lebron typical waits til stuff like this is popular opinion to say it.

I still find it weird he's never acknowledged the Tamir Rice situation.

Salutes to him.

First and most importantly of all... the NFLPA is weak as fukk and can’t leverage their way into any fair agreements.

But lowkey he’s right. The nba is more liberating, but they also had their fair share of owners wilding (clippers & hawks). shyt even the Cavs owner had a “slave mentality” the first time lebron left for Miami
You said that as if its past tense

All this shyt is, is a numbers game and nikkas too dumb to see it.

NBA is a much smaller league so of course they’re going to have much more solidarity, make more money, have more leverage etc...

Lebron once again with the clown move like all these rich as fukk crackers ain’t on the same page. If it was legal, dam gilbert would’ve lynched this dumbass nikka when he left the first time yet he came back and made that cac and his cac assortment in Cleveland more money than ever.

Half steppin ass bullshyt, call all these mfs out, not the ones you don’t have to deal with fakkit...because they all cut from the same exact clothe

The only difference between NBA and NFL owners are one league has more players therefor the players of more expendable so owners Have more “rope” to act out with whats inherent in them. Beyond that, they are both one in the same.. On the other side of the spectrum, because the NFL has more numbers you are going to have more rebellious players.

He's right in the sense that black NBA players and stars have much more power than most NFL players. Even the cac players.

NFL full of 55 man teams, nikka if you ain't a QB you are disposable--the game favors them too much now. Even trash QBs stay starting or on the bench of a team for fukking years. The culture around football has always been racist as fukk, ESPECIALLY in the South around high school/college football teams. You know Urban Meyer wouldn't let his daughter fukk with any ordinary nikkas... Gotta be a baller brehs.

Gilbert's punk ass talked all this shyt bout Bron when he left, nikka won 2 chips in Miami and Gilbert still rolled out the red carpet for a nikka like nothing ever happened. :lolbron::lolbron::lolbron:. Bron left again, and Gilbert had nothing but "nice things to say" and kissed the ring he won for his garbage ass franchise. :russ:. Tell me how many black players can stand up to an owner like that in the NFL and keep their job... I'll wait... shyt Kaepernick will wait too. People in this thread really trying to act like black players do not have more power in the NBA. Yeah that former Clippers owner is a racist bytch, and there are probably more of them in the shadows, but what we can only focus on what has come to light.

Bron is on some GOAT level shyt for this, he could punch in punch out, go home to his millions he makes on and off the court, spend time with the fam, and call it a day. But every now and then he spits some game that gets cacs sweating and I like it. I guess aging and that Finals record got a nikka looking at life differently lmao.:mjlol:

Kneel or don’t...who gives a fukk

What I have noticed about The NFL is the amount of nikkax who have gone out of their way to hate on Kaep..pretty sad but it speaks to that “We’s sick boss” shyt they do well...

Even if I didn’t agree with how Kaep why would I as a black man go out of my way to attach myself to any story talking down on the man?

Victor Cruz
Ray Lewis
Lesean McCoy
Jerry Rice
Josh Norman

I’m missing names Lord Knows

Ben Mclemore came out popping shyt If you want to keep it balanced lol

People do not realize how many active and former players are c00ns.

Shannon Sharpe is one of the few real nikkas out there, and he was raised in the South. The rest of these fools are too busy breaking bread with owners and shyt. Ray could've went about the Kap thing better, but that thing got messy quick and Ray was sounding like he wasn't trying to piss off cacs which made me lose some respect for him.
