This sounds like "all lives matter"

please explain how you are interrupting what I'm saying.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Are you guys seriously reacting to this? He could have said anything. Make sure you know 100 percent what a guy says before you drag him

He should be suspended. It was a racist comment. No place for that on a basketball court.

Why, because you declare it so? :roll:

What is with the hostility, I just stated my opinion. There was nothing universal implied. But you honestly think that is going to have the same impact or significance to Luka than the reverse would have on a black player.


If we're going to live in a moralist dystopia at least make said moralism consistent. Racism is racism, believe it or not white people get that same courtesy too.

I hate to play this card, but...in the time where the NBA promotes social justice and BLM so hard (and rightfully), you cant close your eyes and ears to such things.

No, he cant yell "bitch ass white boy" all over the court. Or someone calling Hachimura chink etc.

So yeah, the league has to react when a player includes skin color into a slur

Luka is not white he is transcendent and he is not a boy he is your father.

He may have said b**chass, but it doesn't look like he said the word 'white'. It looks more like he's saying some word with an 'O' sound.

Do you know what the word typically means? Have white people ever been marginalized? Are white people a minority in the NBA? And above all, do you disagree that white people should be respected?

Racism is a relatively modern concept, arising in the European age of imperialism, the subsequent growth of capitalism, and especially the Atlantic slave trade,[1] of which it was a major driving force.[7] It was also a major force behind racial segregation especially in the United States in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and South Africa under apartheid; 19th and 20th century racism in Western culture is particularly well documented and constitutes a reference point in studies and discourses about racism.[8] Racism has played a role in genocides such as the Holocaust, the Armenian genocide, and genocide of Serbs, and colonial projects including the European colonization of the Americas, Africa, and Asia as well as the Soviet deportations of indigenous minorities.[9] Indigenous peoples have been—and are—often subject to racist attitudes.

Hopefully that's not what he said. I'm a big fan of both players and emotions run high in the playoffs. Tempers flair in the playoffs, it's as competitive as it gets during this time. If Trez did say that, I doubt he meant it from the heart. It was probably just what came out of his mouth. Still...not cool during sensitive times like this right now. Hopefully that's not what he said. The media loves this ****.

Is there audio?

I seriously doubt someone would be dumb enough to say that

If that is what he said, he obviously should hear about it from the league. just a difference of opinion on the impact and significance of this versus that.
