This was last spring in Salt Lake City as Russell Westbrook said no more to some racist comments from a white couple in the stands.
No more. I don’t blame him or any of the athletes.
You wanna talk that trash sign a waiver release and come down to the bench and handle it in person.
At what point in society do you stand up for yourself if you’re black?
Russell did and though it was an ugly scene…I think in the end he probably in privte had a talk with his young son and said we don’t have to take this from anybody.
It’s been close to a year now since Russell was traded and it turned out well for both Russell and Chris Paul. I’ll be pulling for the Rockets to go as far as they can in the NBA post season.
It will be interesting to see how both Russell and James Harden do with all this unaccustomed rest their bodies have gotten during the shutdon of the NBA season.
For me, the Rockets are one of the compelling stories as we ‘maybe’ get back to NBA basketball.
I still think Adam Silver’s plan is far too complex. Sixteen teams. Best three out of five in the first two rounds and reduce the human numbers as much as possible and get this done by mid-September or don’t do it at all.
Russell and I are in complete agreement on Donald Trump. It’s pathetic. We all know fourth graders who speak more intelligently than Donald Trump. Russell pretty much says this in public and seems at ease within himself as a man. Not just a black man. A young man.
Russell spoke at the Juneteenth ceremony in Tulsa with Kamala Harris and other black leaders.
It’s good to see Russell take a leadership role in this. He has a young son. Russell knows this is not the world he wants for his son as my son knows this is not the world we want for my grandson.
