Bronny made the Lakers roster. Just entered the game and played with his dad. “History being made” the announcers, I believe, reluctantly had to say. Mac with a minor league deal......Keep an eye on Duke when it comes to college....Flagg getting all kinds of respect.

The Lakers are playing the Twolves and again Minnesota refuses to play Luke Garza. The guy was the national player of the year but that
darn white skin always hurts him. The do have Divencenzo and at least he starts but this team sucks bad! Only 2 of our guys and they
won't play one of them.

The Miami Heat open up their season against the Orlando Magic tommorow. Will Mac McClung get any minutes late? Doubtful but I hope
he gets a chance to show his skill at some point. I really don't want to see him get sent back to the G League after he won the MVP last year.

For the Heat I'm excited that along side Tyler Herro they will be starting 21 year old Nikola Jovic. He jumped over Jamie Jasquez JR. They still
have Duncan Robinson. Kevin Love and also Pelle Larsson on the team now. So the Heat will be fun to watch.

It didn't sound like it, if junior came out as transgender the announcer would have had the same glee in his voice too...

It almost seemed like I was watching an off brand version of pro wrestling and seeing another "cousin or nephew" of the Maivea family being introduced to seal like fans.

Luka looks good. He’s lost some weight.

Yeah but with Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson on the team his scoring average will probably go down. They both shoot so much and then the other players on the Mavs too. Glad he got the scoring title last year after it being stole from him 2 years ago!

Christian Braun starting for the nuggets this year. But they’re just having him stand in the corner.

Hopefully over time that will change. We all know how athletic the kid is as he can dunk on anyone. Braun is way more than just a shooter. I'm just happy he is finally starting in his 3rd year in the league on a very talented team!

Braun finished with 11points and 7 rebounds. 4 of 6 shooting. I’d like to see him take double those shots, especially when they are falling.

Westbrick was 0-8 shooting. Cut that bum and trade for McClung!

Reed Sheppard only getting 12 minutes a game, 3 games in. Play the man at least 15-20 a night! It’s early but I’m not liking it.

At least its better than the NFL where guys like Will Shipley are barely getting any snaps, but yeh it is concerning that the Rockets No.1 draft pick isnt getting as much time as he should considering his perfomance in the summer league and the preseason

Not only a first round pick but the 3rd overall pick in the 1st Round. He should be starting but the white skin makes him invisible.

Always good to check in on the NBA thread. NBA is unique in that every day, there are multi games where whites perform at an elite level. It’s almost like if the NFL had multiple white WR or RB who had 100+ yard games all the time. Also any given day, a white NBA rotational player may pop off for a big game.

Also many teams start 2 out of 5 white guys. Sometimes teams have 3 of 5 for a majority starting lineup. Then whites off the bench.

For me, the NFL was more watchable than the NBA as long as the vast majority of quarterbacks were White, just because of the sheer importance of the QB position. Now that it's been affected by the Great Replacement just like everything else in this country (last week had 16 black, 15 White, and 1 Polynesian quarterbacks), things have changed.

NBA borderline seems the opposite, they’ve escaped the anti white dark ages. The NBA isn’t some sort of great pro white product, but way better than the NFL. Theres an huge uptick in talented white euros which the league has caught onto, and there’s a decent uptick in American white talent being drafted high. Cooper Flagg could be a game changer for the culture.

Too bad I just don’t care much aside from keeping up with great white performances and players.

If I’m lucky Seattle will get an NBA team, have some good whites on the roster, then maybe I’ll care a bit more. Not sure how easy it is to get excited for a new sports team as an adult. I mean Seattle just got an NHL team, stacked to the brim in talented white (like all NHL teams) but I just can’t seem to care much.

Between the poor qb play, lazy schemes, constant flags and ghetto fabulous commercials the nfl has become a very tough watch. Redzone helps bc the product has deteriorated so much over the last few years

Thanks for the stats Carolina Speed. What I like is how many American Born Whites we are seeing in the NBA now. A breath of fresh air.

Grady Dick is taking his game to the next level in his second season. He is only 20 years of age. Another Herro type player. He does need
to add some strength but his body will fill out as he gets a little older.
