Hello Rod, Karen and Justin, can we just appreciate the pettiness of the game announcers reminding us every 5 minutes that Seth Curry is Doc’s son in law and that Doc paid for the wedding? meanwhile they leave out the juicy parts of the whole saga **cough cough Paul George**
Speaking of Doc, I did not know that his house was burnt down in a white neighborhood by the white folks, you could definitely feel the emotion in his voice when he spoke the other day .
Love the podcast and keep up the good work
What’s the word, rod , Karen and J earl Thomas
1. So another Nîgga joins the employment line, as the ravens say bye bye to earl Thomas. There’s talks that the problematic cowboys don’t want no parts of him. Will he get another job or is this it for him??
2. Seems like the under card for mike Tyson vs Roy Jones jr, is George Karl vs mark Jackson.
3. Major shout outs to the nba leading the charge as usual as Wednesday night, we expected to see 3 games and such was not the case. This trickled down to the WNBA, MLS and a small piece of baseball. They got the bubble right and it seems as if other sports are starting to take notice and follow the nba’s lead. Wednesday night the rumor mill was hot! From saying the playoffs are done to now saying the players want to play. And I feel like they gone this far, no cases of the rona, good competition for the most part, I say let the show go on. Playing or not playing isnt gonna fix the issues this country is facing. The nba and these players have a platform, they have to use it off the court as well as on. And real talk, lebron better go win this ring!! Ain’t no telling what year 18 holds.
4. Lastly, looking into the future, rod and Karen, would you like to see steph and or Seth come home to Charlotte and possibly play for the hornets, before they retire?
Until next time
Fyahworks out!
Happy birthday kemdoc! All the best!!
Rod, Karen, and Jerena Williams,
Y’all were recording on my bday so that’s why I was missing! But I’m catching up on BDS right now. Aww man. I just heard the bday shoutout! Love to y’all niggas! That’s so special. That why I Fukk with y’all. My lil heart is full.
Watching Serena Williams play tennis and struggle is the most infuriating thing ever. Not because of her, but because these white commentators get out all of their micro aggressions by criticizing every single point. Something was clearly wrong with her when she lost in three sets this week. They normally would talk about any other mediocre white tennis player (or even a darling like Coco Gauff or Naomi Osaka) with sympathy and be gushing with inspiration that they didn’t quit. The mediocre girl she was playing and lost to had like 10 match points and couldn’t finish Serena off. It was almost like Serena was trying to quit the whole third set but then started playing scrappy because she just go out like that and lay down. They even criticized that. They do not want her to break the grand slams record. She is already the greatest female tennis player of all time and they won’t give her that until she breaks it. I hope she can get back to herself for the US Open because she looked haunted on that court.
Aight lemme say this: If Lebron James decided in the year where he could win a championship in these conditions to forego this playoff shyt and sacrifice the championship to open up voting places across the country (if they allow it) his legacy would be untouched, revolutionary, better than anything we’ve ever seen. We praise Kaep for his sacrifice but he was perhaps on a down swing physically at that point. I am really hoping Lebron steps up and says ‘Look, we’ve tried to create this bubble for safety in order to finish our season, but we cannot continue to play in this bubble while those outside it need us to do work within our communities to heal our country. We as a league have decided to forego the rest of the playoffs in order to focus on activism.’ The league goes as he goes. There’s stars but he’s the big dog point blank period. We’ve already seen what the Milwaukee Bucks having their game cancelled in protest did across sports. Even America’s fake ass past time baseball cancelled games the day after the killings in Kenosha and had black pitchers writing BLM near the pitchers mound in camera view. By the way, I would love to know what White people think about a white kid killing two people on the street and having Swat let him pass when there are people screaming that he just shot two people and is giving himself up. Not to mention the cops pushing protester groups toward the paramilitary (that are frankly white terrorist groups) in order for them to intimidate the crowd. Cops giving them bottles of water while destroying the water of protesters. Are you loving those blue lives more each day as we see them terrorize citizens? Did you hear the piece of shyt Kenosha police chief droning on and on about nothing for a half hour when the news affiliates were waiting to hear about the 17 year old that gunned down people in his streets or the cop that nearly killed Jacob Blake? It’s right in our faces now. We have to do all that we can to almost live without seeing it or hearing it. White people are so afraid of a revolution but some don’t act like it. They bring the smoke. And get away with it.
There is something happening in this country that they cannot deny. And there’s a void of black male leadership that perhaps athletes could try fill to inspire. Where’s Steph and Klay? Draymond? Kyrie and KD? Get these guys together and shake shyt up. Niggas are ready to listen to what y’all have to say. ESPN and all these sports shows would stop everything. I feel like Noname lol. I understand what she was saying. I definitely be wondering: where the hell is Kendrick?
Even Naomi Osaka didn’t play her tennis match. I don’t know what that’s like to have to go out and perform during this time. I am at home fighting for my own mental peace to get a few hours to work in. The moment is bigger than a gold trophy right now. Lebron legacy would be meteoric and the league would elevate. I’m only saying all this because I have lost a lot of faith in black men (never by my own doing) and this could restore faith and good will. I’m sure they’ll take some days off now that they have the power and the owners can’t press them, but I think they’ll still play.
Just my wishful thinking. Something bigger is happening here. Let’s all step into the moment. Solidify your voting plan. Request that ballot and mail that shyt right back. Don’t let them take this from us. Fight for your vote the way they fight for their fukking guns. They fight without shame. Vote without shame.
Sorry for how long this was.
Love to y’all and the chat and many thanks,
Kemdoc
