I just think it’s stupid to say you want a man with a six figure salary and then say you also only want a black man. The numbers are not remotely in your favor there you better want all races lol
All this love pouring in for Russell Westbrook, and I don't know, part of me is torn on it.
People clowned 0 for years. Got so nasty his wife had to step in and speak out, and he didn't want his own kids at the games anymore. Now he retires and here come all the flowers.
Would've hit different for him hearing some of that back when the whole internet was booing him, you know?
I dunno. Just a thought. Anyway. Be good to people while they can still hear it and while it still matters.
a 20/20/20 game intentionally in honor of Nipsey Hussle is probably one of the greatest feats in sports history. basically Babe Ruth pointing his bat to the stands, but for Crips.
Russell Westbrook retired today with the most triple-doubles in NBA history. The name written on his wrist for all 18 seasons belongs to the kid UCLA actually wanted. That kid died at 16, and Westbrook spent two decades playing for both of them.
Westbrook was a 5'8", 140-pound freshman that no college recruited. The call UCLA's head coach made to his high school in 2004 was about Khelcey Barrs III, Westbrook's best friend from across the street in Hawthorne. A 6'6" phenom pulling scholarship offers as a sophomore. The two had a pact to play at UCLA together, then the NBA.
In May 2004, during a pickup game at LA Southwest College, Barrs collapsed on the court. An undiagnosed enlarged heart.
Westbrook walked across the street every morning after that to do his friend's chores at his grandmother's house. Then he grew 7 inches, averaged 25 a game as a junior, and took the UCLA offer they were supposed to accept together. From that point on he played like a man carrying two careers.
The numbers he put up look like typos.
209 triple-doubles is the most in NBA history, and it took breaking Oscar Robertson's record that stood for 47 years. In 2017 he averaged a triple-double across an entire season, something no human had done since 1962, then did it three more times. 27,176 points, 14th all time. 10,351 assists, 5th all time, behind only Stockton, CP3, Kidd, and LeBron. He did all of it at 6'3" in a league of giants, and outlasted the franchise that drafted him. Seattle picked him 4th in 2008 and stopped existing before he played a game.
And in every one of his 1,301 games, he wore two wristbands. One said KB3. The other said "Why not?"
People spent 18 years asking why he played every possession like the building was on fire. He was playing for two.
Niggas still play dumb about what "Talking white" really means cuz Denzel Washington is very articulate and would never be told he "talks white" lol...it's in the accent and vernacular.
If you think like this, I am immediately and indisputably better than you as a person.
LeBron and Drake anem ain’t even got a shot with my lady because my lady loves ME for ME, and she can’t get ME from nowhere but ME. To think ANYTHING else is an act of subconscious submission.
