What's up with these Black NBA players shytting on majority Black Memphis?

[Voice of Reason]

Are they keeping it real or going too far?


Should they be trying to organize stop the violence and community investment efforts?

 

[Piff Perkins]

We haven't seen this type of concerted effort in awhile, and the fact that the NBA is about to announce expansions might explain it. They're manufacturing consent for a potential relocation of the Grizzlies.

 

[MoshpitMazi]

Memphis wild as hell
IONT BLAME EM
Come down to the A we dont got dem problems

 

[Tribal Outkast]

I don’t get singling out Memphis. If this is true then all kinds of players would be trying to go to Salt Lake City Utah and shyt lol. Why did Stephen A even say that??

 

[Bar Razor]

I mean it's unfortunate but......

Memphis has a high murder rate compared to other large US cities, although it has seen some decreases in recent years. In 2024, Memphis experienced a decrease in homicides compared to the previous year, with 296 homicides compared to 397 in 2023. However, Memphis has been referred to as the "homicide capital of America" and has a history of high homicide rates

Wouldn’t surprise me if they try to move them to Nashville

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

You know Koalabama could use some NBA bawlers

 

[2 one 3]

Memphis is a try hard Atlanta

It’s not a good look when you have rappers gambling and shooting dice courtside at games

It’s also not a good look when you have your star players, father thinking he’s the main attraction

SAS says what he said on ESPN
The local news covers it.

All we need now is the “we need to expand the arena and make the taxpayers pay for it” type shyt. You made good points.
