“Mr. Johnson was hired two years ago to help out with Knicks business operations.”

LOL! Put him in charge of promotions too!

Watermelon Night
Fried Chicken Night
Name the Childs Father Night

Can the NBA hire this genius? He would kill the league in less than 5 years.

True. For such a racially divided city, it is Ebony and Ivory when it’s time for Tigers and Grizzlies B-ball.

Separate but equal, what could possibly go wrong.

“I’m waiting for the all-black hockey league.....”

We don’t deal with race. Hockey players are a close knit fraternity. Believe it or not, in hockey, the haters are weeded out when they are kids. On more than one occasion I have terminated a players contract for throwing around racial comments. Didn’t even blink. It’s no tolerance.

Several year back, one of my best players and a kid who had a shot called one of the opposing players a Chink. Came back to the bench and said, “the F’ing Chink didn’t even see the hit. Thats because he has no peripheral vision.” By the time the word vision was out of his mouth, he was removed from the team.

re: The WNBA is about 50% white.

My point was the women’s league does not draw squat and makes no money.
I am sorry I did not explain in detail.

I really don't care if they have an all black basketball league as long as they limit ownership and attendance to blacks only. Then in a year or two when that league fails due to poor attendance, they can welcome the players back into the NBA. If, granted a huge ‘if’, the league succeeds, then they have nothing but quicksand to stand on when the whine about economic justice for the black man. Do you think they will cut ticket prices? Do you think the players will take salary cuts? Do you think the current owners (mostly white) will be allowed to own the current teams? Do you think they will allow white referees? White announcers? At what point of declining viewership does ESPN sell the rights to BET? Call their bluff and give them what they want and let's just see if they can survive.

It’s 7:20 here and much to early to laugh so hard that I can’t breathe.

I have ZERO interest in basketball anyway - so I say “go for it.”

But, if they did start an all-midget league, or victoria’s secret bikini league, I might be tempted to watch a game or two.

Had a friend who was a High School basketball coach and a good one.

Having noticed that his on court players were all black except one and the white kid was often not as bassetball skilled as the others. I asked him why would he play a less skilled white kid and his reply was “if I had a full court of blacks they would each try to keep the ball to the detriment of the team, having one white in there settled them down for more team-work and winning more games”.

Sort of says it all, way beyond the basketball games.......

This is why I stopped watching the NBA when they went on strike in 2000. They couldn’t figure out how to split up over $2B back then.

They can have it. I hope they go with an all black league, with all black players and all black coaches . . . and all black fans.

This is Bloomberg’s NYC - The Knicks hire this Larry Johnson genius to help with business operations.

Kill that goose Lar. Your Chivas is going to dry up quicker than you think, and you aren’t too old to be working the drive through at McDonalds.

Great idea
I don’t watch the trash anyhow
Not since Dr j and Dawkins
But some whites love to watch their physical Master Race.....its like gladiators in a peculiar way......average white man being so squirrely and non manly these days

White people are silly now....no wonder we only look serious with an AR in our grip and a dark ball cap backwards....ray bans required.....desert scarf optional

One day we will be known as the self flagellators
