Nice try. Urban means city. And basketball is most popular in cities, because it’s cheap to make, and small, and made of asphalt. Unlike baseball fields. You’re the one that brought “hood” into the conversation. Why would you assume that basketball players are from “hoods” and why would you assume that they would beat kanter up?
Kanter was out of line, but did it more for show than anything. Got the crowd hyped. Young teams can build off something like this. He was out of line, but what does he have to lose.....Bron doesn't respect him, so in his eyes, why not.
I just rewatched it. Not only did James grab the ball after the shot (delay of game) he intentionally ran into the rookie as he was picking up the ball, then stood there in front of him, trying to antagonize something (instead of getting back on defense). Then he pushed Kanter, when kanter never touched him. I won’t assume that basketball is a thug sport, played in the “hood” but at any park I’ve ever played at, I’d say James would be the one getting his ass beat.
Kanter was defending his teammate and telling Lebron not to bully a rookie. Don't see how you think he's a punk for that.
He's saying it because Kanter was NOWHERE near the situation. It had been settled and cleared up and THEN he came running up and got in Bron's face. Had he been in the middle of it, I would bet dviss would think differently of it. But he ran all the way over AFTER it was over. Thats like that kid when we growing up that waits till the fight is broken up and 8 people are between the two dudes and THEN they start talking shit!
He probably took exception to the 6’8” 250 lb lebron James, trying to punk, and antoagonize, a 19 year old pg. If Kanter didn’t run over there and say “hey wtf are you doing lebron?” He would be a shit teammate, and a bitch. Why would Kanter, let Lebron, punk his own PG, in his own building....
Anyway Lebron wasn't down there to play defense on in bound pass if you think that then keep on thinking. Lebron properly haven't never challenge a in bound pass from the back court in his life.
Kanter did it because he is a technical terrorist according to the Turkish govt lol gotta keep that rep
How did he bully him? There was no bullying at all. WTF are y'all talking about? Lebron was literally just standing there.
They are fun to watch for sure. Their problem is that they are not really good enough to do well in the playoffs if they make it there and are one young piece away from having a properly bright future and maybe being able to recruit better next Summer. Tanking for someone like Michael Porter or Luka Doncic could elevate them to a very high level 2-3 years down the line but they are way too good to tank this season plus it could annoy Porzingis to lose for the third season in a row. Ntilikina and Porzingis is great core going forward IMO. They might be a player in free agency next year. They are my quiet favourites to get Cousins.
This. This. This. Reminds me of the time I prevented a fight one time between Cleveland and Jesuit Varsity Boys. I could tell the whole story but I don't have enough time right now. The PG from Cleveland, after I had the situation WELL under control, sprints from half court and then.... Stops... Then starts breathing in the kids face that I just gave a tech to. I step in between them and physically separate them. I T'd him up and Jesuit ended up shooting free throws. His mother yells from the stands "DON'T YOU PUT YOUR HANDS ON MY SON!!!" First of all... Cleveland is MY ALMA MATER... Her son is completely disrespecting MY gym... (plus EVERYONE there knows me. I played on the same team as the assistant coach in 93') So I'm taken a bit aback by his idiotic behavior. I responded: "Your PUNK son, didn't want to fight in the first place! Why did he run from half court and stop?? He had every opportunity to throw a punch but he stands there breathing like a FOOL." "If he stayed his PUNK BUTT (wanted to say punk ass) at half court like he was supposed to, Jesuit wouldn't be shooting free throws right now! I'm SURE you came today to see your son play basketball not fight right???" I then turn to the crowd (they're completely on my side) and ask "Now, is anyone fighting???" I take a slight bow and say "you're welcome". Moral of the story: If you're gonna fight fucking fight. Don't be a PUNK and run up to talk shit. You run up to fight...
He grabbed the ball after he scored (delay of game) then ran straight into nk, then stood there in his face and did nothing. So nk shoved him, and kanter ran over cause he wanted to know by lebron was bein a bitch. Kanter did nothing wrong. You’re blinded by racism.
