    Technically every point the Nets scored in the bubble was all bench.

    How is this not a bigger deal? Luka would be cancelled and suspended if it were the other way around

    https://www.si.com/nba/2020/08/23/montrezl-harrell-apologizes-luka-doncic-bubble-bits

    On Saturday, Jay Williams, the former NBA guard, went on social media and condemned Harrell’s comments.

    “I can only imagine if Luka Doncic had said something like that to [Harrell] and it got caught on tape,” Williams said. “I can only imagine, during Black Lives Matter, how much of a big deal it would have been, considering today’s climate. It would have been a massive story. Luka would have lost all credibility in this space. Everybody would have been commenting on it. People would have asked LeBron about it, people would have asked Kawhi … it should be a big story. It’s unacceptable, man.”

    Nuggets also had an opponent should almost 20 more free throws than them. Seems to be an issue.

    What would Luka have said that was equivalent to "White Boy" MM?

    Is it weird to hate a franchise that hasn't won anything ever and has historically been the heel of the league?

    I think it's because they have been the whiniest team in the league since Doc Rivers took over.

    He's trying to get MM to say the N word, and then say that calling someone a white boy isn't nearly as bad as the N word.

    Those two are NOT actually equivalent. The fact that you and millions of others in this country think this way is the very reason for protests all over.

    There is no equivalent to "white boy". "White boy" means, essentially, pampered brat. There's no black equivalent.

    Not defending Harrell - he absolutely shouldn't've said it, and absolutely needed to apologize, but all this pearl clutching implying it's as bad as the N-word is bullshit.

    EDIT: Black people out here coopting white culture:
