Jaylen Brown keeps running into controversy.
Nike dropped him after he spoke out.
He was left off Team USA despite being an NBA Finals MVP.
Even Beverly Hills had to apologize for shutting down his party.
This is a man who interned at NASA, negotiated his own contract, and represents the kind of educated, independent Black man people say they want as a role model.
Yet look at how he's treated.
@BlaqKobra@HisGloyalty Yeah at least they taking a step forward in letting us get a bit more of animations but I still don’t know y we can’t customize everything bc I swear in the past u could just do more to your player yk
I think it’s insanity to say a small guard using screens takes no skill and actually mean it.
There’s so much reading of the court and multiple defenders at once, while controlling dozens of inputs in a matter of seconds, and sometimes even having to tell people what to do all at the same time.
There’s also a tremendous amount of trust put into someone to play big with you while playing that way to do their job properly. An awful center will sabotage even the best guard if they’ve got no idea what they’re doing. Hence even hidden skill in that role where the best at it clearly set themselves apart from others.
It’s either blind hate or dudes playing narratives to sit there and say there’s “no skill” behind any of it.
@Koster2k Has been for 3-4 years now and it’s so sad especially in rec when you’re dominating and in the last 3 minutes it just completely disappears like all of you are new to the game and get turnovers never seen before
