NBA brotherhood between players. Why is it so poor?

[NYC Rebel]

Its literally one of of not the hardest sport to make it as a professional out of the 3 major sports. Yet the brotherhood and ability to stay on code between each other, young to young, old to young…that shyt is in the toilet between the players.

Never seen a group of players tear each other down the way they treat each other. I just dont get it.

That Draymond-KAT shyt is disgraceful.

Just seems like an extension of where Black folks are generally. We aren't really unified besides being into the same things culturally (generally speaking). Plus hating and talking crazy on podcasts is lucrative so it isn't a huge mystery.

I thought one of the reasons to why people said the NBA was getting bad is due to the brotherhood being too strong. Like everyone is buddy buddy, not enough fierce rivalry?

Not that I agree but I feel like I've seen that notion being pushed

NBA haters will find any reason. Aint my point . But NBA players are far more slanderous towards each other than players in other sports.

The NFL is majority black and we don't see the disdain between players like we can say in the NBA

Something inherit with the game of basketball man

There are many things about the game, starting at the AAU level, that is just trash

Can’t really put my finger on it..

NBA has a higher percentage of black players though. Is it cool if you expand upon your post?

Folks coming from different backgrounds which can breed contempt. You got a lot of players coming from wealthy backgrounds, upper middle class backgrounds, working poor backgrounds, foreign backgrounds...you clash these different experiences, perspectives, and cultures and you're bound to get some "disagreements".

Also, the modern day media has created a toxic environment which some happily feed whenever they can.

players have alluded to or flat out said there’s guys in the league who don’t love the game

Hmm . . . I recall Jalen Ramsey having issues with Golden Tate and someone else. Multiple people don't like/talk shyt about Russell Wilson. Richard Jefferson likes to shut on random Black players as well. I disagree.

Its like I don’t know

The not being a brotherhood old to young shyt is real

Listen to Walt Frazier or Dr.J talk

shyt is just dumb the things they say

Oscar Robertson on the other hand doesn’t do that

The NFL also has 53 man rosters as opposed to 15 in the NBA. Meaning there are more black players in the nfl than nba. Not based on a % but in total.

I dont think we can pinpoint this to how black folks act outside sports. I think its a lazy easy way out talking point. Outside of the lockeroom you have black folks of differnet genders a wider range of ages, likes, dislikes etc... In the lockeroom you're a unit your supposed to be a team so when something negative happens you really have 2 look at it closer

Big O recently took a dump on Draymond actually. lol

The NFL brotherhood knows the game is a hurt sport so young & old players alike have a level of respect for each other. Yet Its harder to make the NBA than any professional sports league and players dont seem to share a unity around that.

Oscar was right though
