"Plays the right way" phrase

[Smoking With Cigarettes]

So im watching the nuggets game and the announcers saying that about Mike Miller, no matter what kinda simple shyt he does(moving the ball like everyone else). It's whatever analysts and announcers say it about white players all the time..
Then they talk to a philly fan, and the fan says basically the same thing. Now I know the word thug is how folks call athletes nikkas, without actually calling them nikkas, but the hell is with saying "he plays the right way".

Side Note: I thought it was a veteran thing but Arthur didn't have that said about him at all. Same with Jameer and Foye

The worst is when professional athletes, black or white, get acknowledged and complimented for "never giving up on the play."



bytch you get paid millions to play a fukking children's game for a living. Not giving up is the least you should be doing out there.

they used to say that about derek fisher too.


it is usually said about white players tho and it is usually said about players that ain't shyt and there's nothing else about their game to compliment on. "playing the right way" basically means passing off to the better player.

It was hyperbole, but you get what I'm saying. They get to play a game for a living.

It's stupid as fukk when they get commended for simply doing their job and not quitting.

Only in sports is "not giving up" looked upon favorably.

"Act like you've been there before"

"Play with some class"

"The game isn't all about silly dunk shots"

"This isn't AAU buddy"

Even tho it comes with the profession. Football players are also playing with their lives.

Doesn't matter how much money you have if you are paralyzed from the neck down.

shyt, think about all the people that didn't make it pro and got hurt in little league, high school, or college.

Not only white players but also players who are on the quiet side and more reserved if that makes sense. Mostly white people tho.

Agreed but if that is referred to a black player that simply means scrub.
