This have to be one of the most uninformed, racially-charged, ignorant remarks I have seen on this board in a while. So much for Bisme’s request for calm. Going along nicely till you started tapping away on your keyboard.
I accidentally pressed and-1.

Now, frame it this way...you've got that minority group (yours or otherwise) in mind.
Someone does something 'crazy' (ripping their jersey, supporting a political leader...or jumping into the crowd to fight fans...or pick another 'crazy' behavior) that belongs to your minority group.
Do you say "Let's understand the possible reasons WHY someone did this thing?"

"Must be a [minority] thing..."?
Just asking the question, I won't answer for you.'
We've argued a lot in the past, I'm trying to understand other peoples perspectives more now and encourage others to do the same
Luka's not Serbian though.

In all seriousness, does that game even ‘count’ for MVP discussions? In reality it shouldn’t. It’s not a ‘regular season’ game.

He's 7th in EPM, 6th in BPM, and has an on/off for the season of +0.3. Jokic, SGA, Embiid, Haliburton, and LeBron have all been better by any objective measure.
