Ya he shouldn't have used that term. But Phil's never said anything remotely racist that I could recall while using some funky verbiage and phrasing on the regular. It was clearly a dig at Lebron. Just don't think it was consciously racial.
In any case he should apologize because if you're not being racist on purpose you can apologize without feeling strange about it.
I mean, Phil's right about the facts of the case. But he shouldn't be opening up his mouth about it anyway and he shouldn't be using that term. Everyone knows Lebron likes special treatment, no reason to bring it up

By reilo Go To PostSo Phil doesn't vote and uses dog-whistles to belittle black players. What a man.

Entourage would have been the better word but PJ always just skims the surface of being a bitter asshole in regards to what other players do with themselves. Him constantly putting his players business out in the street for instance.
By giririsss Go To PostGet hung up on the word posse more.well alright then lol
Even if it was meant to be derogatory, which it probably was, and LBJ has been known for having a large crew. He's had them blocked by several owners. And they threw a tantrum when CLE blocked them on LBJ's first game back in CLE.
It doesn't alter that in a basketball and team sense, it paints LBJ not very well.
And selfmade? lol.
and going from ...whatever small time stuff that crew was doing before.... to managing a billion dollar athlete who's shown several times that he can act way outside of the perceived scope of a player's power isn't just amazing but bound to piss a lot of company guys off.
no other player could tear a franchise down then have that same team work at least two years just for the chance of receiving that player back, and on that player's terms as well
Like the teams and institutions dude has to strong arm aren't cesspools but saintly organizations. Ok.
By Kibner Go To PostCan anyone confirm if this is real cuz it would be kinda funny:I refuse to believe a real editor would not have caught the typo in "posse's" so I'm going with fake.
By domino Go To Postposse has a racial connotation now? learn something new every day.i don't think it was racial. i do think it was a shot no matter how you look at it
I just gotta laugh at the idea that some of the prospects will be in perpetual immaturity, given what they've seen and risen above, what a patronizing ass statement to make.
By Tea Go To PostI just gotta laugh at the idea that some of the prospects will be in perpetual immaturity, given what they've seen and risen above, what a patronizing ass statement to make.A lot of those guys grow up in bubbles. And i think that's what he means, LBJ certainly was one of them. He was crowned in his Highschool years. It is partonizing if you take it at face value though.
By DY_nasty Go To Postwell alright then lol

I mean, possse has no racial connotation. But it wasn't meant to talk them up.
I guess you and I have very different definitions of self made. Going into Nike as LBJ's sidekick and demanding you make a LBJ with your pattern on it. Or starting a company with funding obtained by his "strong arming"... isn't my definition.
By giririsss Go To PostA lot of those guys grow up in bubbles. And i think that's what he means, LBJ certainly was one of them. He was crowned in his Highschool years. It is partonizing if you take it at face value though..I didn't realize the extent of these people's experiences was only limited to high school years or just the result of their successes and none of the work that came to attain it.
By vic Go To PostPotential avi material for NOP fans.No thanks.
By Omzz Go To PostTime to beat Lebron and his possereg season calm down
By giririsss Go To PostA lot of those guys grow up in bubbles. And i think that's what he means, LBJ certainly was one of them. He was crowned in his Highschool years. It is partonizing if you take it at face value though.LBJ was born to a 16 year old mother and lived in the inner-city for a lot of his young life
By blackace Go To PostLBJ was born to a 16 year old mother and lived in the inner-city for a lot of his young life
totally off topic but the first time I read this fast I thought you said "LBJ was born 16 years old" and I thought you were making a LBJ looks old as fuck his whole life joke
By blackace Go To PostLBJ was born to a 16 year old mother and lived in the inner-city for a lot of his young lifeHey don't bring facts into this.
By blackace Go To PostLBJ was born to a 16 year old mother and lived in the inner-city for a lot of his young lifeDude slept on other people's couches for a bit, too.
He's the bubble living dude though. Not someone so comfortable with themselves they can just ignore the hardships for their own fucking agendas and ego stroking.
I mean I've found people like Dwight Howard pretty immature and the like but I'm fairly sheltered from who these athletes really are as people and what they've gone through to get to the NBA. Jackson's not. He knows exactly the stuff these players have risen through on a personal level, their work ethic and still he just talks all of this shit. Dude's an asshole.

So, LBJ goes from living on others couches to vaunted athlete getting start royalty treatment in the NBA, living the NBA bubble, taking classes about how to dispose of condoms so you don't get women stealing them, VIP rooms in clubs, and women presented to him to select from.
And we're going to pretend that isn't going to skew his attitude? That it's going to take some maturity, and time to adjust? That 19 y.o.'s aren't going to struggle with all that shit?
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
I mean, yeah, these guys aren't JUST their NBA days. But you're just throwing blinders on and pretending they're JUST their pre-NBA days.

Fuck outta here.
Jackson stays being a patronizing fuck about his own and other players.
Sessions is washed
maybe that's the part that skews his attitude, changing how much player power exists like jordan did. we need a comic sans font

By DY_nasty Go To PostSessions is washedremember when he was the answer to the lakers
By Omzz Go To Postremember when he was the answer to the lakersrazor ramon breh
also, i didn't know payne still got minutes. im sorry rodeo
So when does Rubio's contact expire? I don't see anybody wanting to trade for him, but I think the Wolves would love to just move on at this point.
By DY_nasty Go To Postbatum was a mistakeBatum is my pick for when he's on, wow, especially his passing.
When he's not, wow, especially his passing.
By Tea Go To PostBatum is my pick for when he's on, wow, especially his passing.I'd rather have paid Lin.
When he's not, wow, especially his passing.
What kills me with Batum is that he plays really underwhelming defense since he got paid too
