Victor Oladipo tells the story when MVP Russ told him he was gonna poster someone left handed the night he eventually did it to Clint Capela and he couldnβt believe it
βThis is the craziest story, we playing Houston in OKC one night and we both get there early for the game, Russ got the heat on his feet and we just chilling. All of a sudden he tells me ima dunk on somebody left handed tonight. I looked at him and said βyou ainβt gon do shitβand heβs like βaightβ. The very last play of the game to win it he runs and cuts and dunks on Capela and yells βI TOLD YOUβ and I literally forgot about it. I couldnβt believe it. Getting traded to OKC was a blessing cuz I learned from Russβ.
America is underdeveloped because of stupidity but mainly racism and classism. A lot of these countries yall see the cool shit in are homogenous. They are all on the same page because everybody looks the same. Same ethnicity. They are down with the greater good. The greater good here is White folks being on top with everything and suppressing minorities. Superiority complex. We are here to serve White folks. Education, healthcare, food, housing, infrastructure is for them. They have access to all the resources. We have to figure it out and make due.
