Black skin isn't a threat

All these guys have something in common nun of them could stay healthy when bron needed them the most 💔💔💔💔

A white mother in this Black and Proud group shared a photo of her son with all of his Black friends and said she never worried about his safety around Black people.

That stood out to me because so many of us were raised to love, protect, and treat people like family. We’re often portrayed as violent, yet so many people say they feel safe and welcomed in our communities.

It’s just sad that many people can confidently say they feel safe being the only white person around Black people, while many Black people can’t always say they’ve felt that same safety being the only Black person around white people.

Rui Hachimura went for $14 mil a year. Smart for $7, Kennard for $6 and Hayes $6.

All those are bargain deals and the team with the most money going into free agency couldn’t retain one of them.

Lakers meanwhile, do not have one contract on a bargain deal.

He’s an ugly fat bitch! And he had the nerve to say he’s the healthiest president! 😂😂😂

At some point, the NBA is going to have to face a reality it has avoided for more than two decades: a league without LeBron James. For an entire generation of fans, LeBron has been the face of basketball. He came into the league as a teenager with impossible expectations and somehow exceeded every single one of them. Watching his career slowly approach the finish line feels surreal because he has been dominant for so long that people almost forgot what the NBA looked like before him. Every season now carries that feeling that fans need to appreciate the moments while they still can, because once he's gone, one of the greatest eras in sports history officially closes.
When LeBron retires, the impact on the NBA will be massive both on and off the court. He has been the center of the league's biggest storylines for over 20 years, whether it was his time with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, or Los Angeles Lakers. TV ratings, Christmas games, playoff matchups, and even international interest have revolved around him for years. Beyond the numbers, LeBron gave the league a constant sense of relevance because every season felt connected to his legacy. Once he's gone, the NBA enters a completely new chapter where younger stars will finally have to carry the pressure and attention that he handled for decades.
What makes LeBron's retirement feel even bigger is that there may never be another player quite like him again. It's not just the championships, records, or longevity - it's the fact that he stayed at the top through multiple generations of players and adapted his game every step of the way. Fans watched him go from explosive high school phenom to unstoppable athletic force to elite playmaker and basketball genius late in his career. The league will still have incredible talent after he retires, but the aura surrounding the NBA will feel different without him. For many fans, LeBron retiring won't just mean the end of a player's career - it'll feel like the end of an era they grew up with.

I don't get the appeal of Cleveland for LeBron other than the fact it's home.

James, Mitchell and Harden is an awful fit. Not enough D, not enough off-ball movement. Not enough spacing with Allen and Mobley either. A flawed bench. Their coach just blundered big-time. I just don't get it.

If he's going to Cleveland for a homecoming, sure, that's a great story for the final chapter. But compared to the other options on the table, Cleveland's roster needs a lot of work to make any sense for basketball reasons.

[73-9 and THEY LIED @CuffsTheLegend]

Cavs should be doing everything possible to make this happen!

Bring Japanese Jordan to the LAND

[Tony Pesta @Tony_Pesta]

Dream scenario:

🏀 Sign LeBron for the vet min
🏀 Harden takes a discounted deal
🏀 Salary dump Schroder
🏀 Rui and Kuminga split the NTMLE

Probably won't happen. But let a man dream

[73-9 and THEY LIED @CuffsTheLegend]

i would 100% love to see a Cavs Trilogy for LeBron if JAMES HARDEN WASN’T MEDIUM WASHED!

Find a pathway to move Harden for KYRIE (dreaming out loud) AND NOW WE TALKING CHAMPIONSHIP 🏆

[L.T @_logicaltakes]

@Fullcourtpass What does this even mean 😂? Its called life, enjoy and celebrate the accomplishments. Dudes be acting like you cant have fun and growing up in a different era has nothing to do with it😂

[🦂THEE Auntie with no kids♏️ @prmade313raised]

They swear they love this country, but they’re too pussy to show their faces. If you’re so proud why hide?

All I see is a bunch of mediocre white men who are hiding behind a mask like a BITCH!

[Raphouse TV (RHTV) @raphousetv7]

Cardi B went on CNN on 4th Of July to talk about how Black Americans fought for everyone's equality and should be thanked for it. She also pointed out how people are trying to wipe that history out of schools today.😤🇺🇸🏫

@Meu_amor786 If I’m lucky at least one on the weekends

[BGN Hoops @BGNHoops]

41 year old LeBron has most of the teams in the league holding off on making moves waiting to see what he does.

Even at 41 years old he is a needle mover.

Shows you his greatness.

After sitting here watching NBA free agency this year and overall NBA movement over the past 2 years somebody has to say it....

The new CBA was sold as parity, but the first and second apron are starting to function like a hard cap on player value, team continuity, and player movement.

Teams are no longer making purely basketball decisions. They’re making fear-based apron decisions. That means good players get squeezed, homegrown cores get broken up, fan-favorite teams lose their identity, and the overall product loses some of the nostalgia and continuity that made people fall in love with the NBA in the first place.

This isn’t about players not understanding business. It’s the opposite. We understand that the NBA is a business. That’s why the @TheNBPA has to operate with elite business acumen, elite negotiating strategy, and real foresight.

The owners and the league walk into these meetings with killers that continue to run circles around us time and time again with elite lawyers, economists, cap experts, media strategists, and long term business operators. Players deserve a PA that is just as sharp, just as prepared, and just as aggressive about protecting our upside.

Too often, it feels like players are informed after the fact instead of being truly educated and empowered before decisions are made. That cannot continue.

The next CBA is a do or die moment for us as players. It's only going to get worse for us. We need transparency, accountability, and a serious re evaluation of who is representing us and how they are representing us.

This is not anti parity. This is pro player, fan, and product. The league is strongest when players are valued properly, great teams can stay together, and the people representing us are operating at the same level as the people sitting across the table.

2 things:

One, if this happens I’m buying this jersey faster than you can blink.

Two, if LeBron goes to Philly and they win a championship for the first time 44 years, he will be loved by the fan base forever.

[BGN Hoops @BGNHoops]

Fit wise, the Sixers would be a perfect team for LeBron.

He can run pick and rolls with Embiid surrounded by Maxey, Brown, and Edgecombe who can all shoot.

[Freddie McCoy @RealMcCoy23]

the City of Philadelphia will embrace LeBron and show him MORE LOVE than any other possible destination on his shortlist of teams (did the Cavs thing already)

Best Starting 5 in the NBA without a doubt! #StriveFor5 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆
