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

[Chrishaune]

It started white and they have worked hard to bring it back white. Europeans being promoted. Asians getting their skills up. Rules put in place to take the physicality out of the league. Players from the hood have a small chance of getting anywhere close to the League now. They don't mind a few Africans, but they hate giving a bunch of spots to black Americans.

The nba is gentrified now

Damn near everyone got a white mom or white girlfriend in the league

 

[Chrishaune]

This is also how they like to keep good things from black neighborhoods in the South. Memphis is basically a big black neighborhood. They talk bad about it until they can get it moved to the white area. Same thing happens with Birmingham, and despite all of that the major attractions are still in the city.

Like people have said in this thread I wouldn't be surprised if the team eventually gets moved to Nashville. Especially after the new Indoor stadium is built and Nashville gets that Super Bowl pop. They already have the Bridgestone arena downtown for them.

One of the most Sambo and try hard things I've ever seen

Coli clowns would probably call it FBA culture and empowering

Players from the hood get scooped up early by private schools. They just don't goto public schools anymore.

And most black people live in the suburbs now anyway.

If it wasn't for the grizzlies and Young dolph I don't think I would even know of Memphis lol. Such an irrelevant city

Say you're dumb as fukk without saying you're dumb as fukk brehs.

Im pretty sure Memphis has some good suburbs where u can live

Cleveland, Detroit, New Orleans and a lot of NBA cities are heavily black dominated but all have suburbs

Let Memphis signed me to a 6 year 200 million dollar contract, I’ll be there in a minute

If i want to go to the hood for some good food, then I’ll hire a couple of top notch security/officers to roll with me..

I know a lot of majority of black cities have violence and economic problems but there is still other areas u can live with that type of money

Memphis is Glowed-up Little Rock

Yeah I was just in Little Rock last week. All I can say is.... holy shyt lol

 

[Piff Perkins]

How is this pertinent when he got set up by his ex-wife. It's not like he was chilling around the city and got targeted by random thugs - which is the type of violence SAS and others are alluding to.

 

[Schadenfreude]

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

This is what's probably going to happen. Nashville is growing massively.

 

[King Poetic]

So you as a black player with only 2 teams looking at signing u for 100 to 200 million dollars

And it’s Memphis and Utah…. Where u going

Whole Memphis including the burbs isn’t stealing and robbing

 

[Ozymandeas]

Don't speak on it if you haven't been to Memphis.

Memphis is like New Orleans if you took away 90% of the fun spots.

They should relocate the team to Nashville.

 

[Ozymandeas]

Those dudes are just trying to talk up relocating the team from Memphis to Nashville. I don't know if that is how Nashville ended up with the football team, but I do remember the Titans playing in Memphis for a while during the stadium being built in Nashville. It is only 190 miles from Memphis to Nashville, but I think Ja Morant would miss Memphis, because he is a real Memphis fool if I ever saw one and he ain't even from Memphis.

They should. Nashville is like Tennessee's version of Dallas. It's the wealthiest city of the state. I'm surprised it wasn't put there in the first place.

 

[Animal House]

SA started the conversation saying he was told by some players they don’t want to play for Memphis and I don’t see anything wrong with that. Now other players are speaking up and saying they didn’t want to go live there either.

Oh no nba players have preferred locations they want to live and non desirable places they wouldn’t want to be in, what a shocker

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Yeah man. I’m sure Nashville could support it. That place stays packed. I go there once a year and I hate driving there especially on weekend nights.

Memphis was the bigger, more populated, and more historic and relevant city up til recently.
