    Whatever! Don't blow this shit up. Cultures ARE different. I bet his teammates who know him didn't think twice about it.

    It fucking kills me when people try to make shit more than what it is.

    TRUE STORY- Blazers in Phoenix 2 seasons ago. Players out on the court shooting around about 5pm. Coach Vanterpool sit s next to me and we start talking about how the game will go later that night. Im talking about how the Morris twins react on pick n roll situations and I use the term, "Morris Boys"........ as I say this, that ass hat Jabari Young from CSN walks by, stops, looks at me and with the dirtiest tone and face says, "YOU aren't allowed to say that!" I say, "Say what?" He says, "YOUR people aren't allowed to say the word boys!"

    Let me tell you that The HCP was heated! It took all my strength not to call him out big time on that. Just another fool in this world trying to stir up shit!

    I get what you are saying on don't make this too big of a deal @HCP but what you said before and what Adams said are two very different things.

    Cultures are very different but that doesn't also let you become ignorant when coming to the melting pot here. He apologized though so I agree to drop it. If he hadn't though then this WOULD be a big deal. And should be in that case.

    They're primates right? Just like monkeys. White people are primates too, except the rare coastal marzool.

    Seriously though, the Morris twins do act like little shits, boys. No racism intended, they need to grow the fuck up.

    Such a stupid comment. Steph and Klay are only half-monkey at most.

    Seriously though, everyone has heard that phrase before. So if it popped in his head in an interview and he just let it go without realizing it I don't see the big deal.

    Have you ever chased a monkey? Maybe Steven Adams has, and maybe it's an apt comparison.

    And race has nothing to do with it, and if you think it does, then fuck you.

    Monkeys are harder to catch than chickens IMO.

    Insensitive, but probably no malice, he realized, he apologized, end of story.

    I didn't even make the connection until people complained about it.
