OT: Already Posted Please Lock. 

Post#1 » by 22haytham22 » Tue Jul 22, 2014 6:47 pm

EDIT SAW IT POSTED. MY BAD.

I am posting this because we are Canadians and since news have been slow thought I would share this. Mods you can lock it up if you think it is not important.

Jason Whitlock, for you who don't know him is a sportswriter for ESPN. This is what he said.

Andrew Wiggins is from Canada, and Canadian athletes (I think, among NBA players and NBA people) perhaps don’t want it as much as even some of the Europeans and certainly the American players.


Go to minute 3.20.

Go to minute 1.30.

Instead, Whitlock expounded on the idea that “NBA people” had lingering questions about the overall work ethics of Canadian athletes. He also professed admiration for Canada, but still, when was the last time you heard an ugly Canadian stereotype?

Hockey people have said the same over the years about non-Canadian players and their desire for the Stanley Cup.
