    That was a bad draft pick.

    He could have robbed teams blind for a few more years if he was a good boy. The guy made millions by being tall.

    I see Meyers filling in for Red Panda and performing at NBA halftimes this season.

    He wasn't just tall, he was a great shooter. But in a funny way where his shot was so slow he'd never be able to get it off unless the defense completely ignored him.

    He also had an amazing ability to look somewhat athletic while being a lumbering slow clueless big.

    I'll never forget all the posters defending him, saying we should max him, and later praising his stupid 4 year contract we signed him for.

    That would be a great thing to carve on his gravestone one day.

    Like when Butters said that antisemitic slur out and loud for everyone to hear then lied about knowing what he said even though he said it in context?

    Yeah... And Kyrie had to do all of that hoop jumping just to get back into the league for sharing a link to something you can watch and purchase on Bezos platform...

    You know you can (right now) purchase Hitler's Mein Kampf at the Amazon Bookstore? Nobody says anything about Bezos...

    Butters don't get a pass from me...

    No, he doesn't get a pass. But I question whether he lied or not. I think he might just be that unintelligent and not realize what he was saying/doing.

    But the thing is D, I am really really truly trying to subscribe to love, not hate. Happiness, not anger.
    If anything, I know the hate and the anger does no one any good at all and is a waste of my ever decreasing energy.

    Whether valid or not, it feels like society more and more, are looking for things in people to hate, instead of finding things to love in people.

    Its eating me up pretty good watching everyone around me devolve into the angry, emotionally driven response to anything some disagree with.

    Im watching people feed into this and then lash out at those around them and its leaving a growing pit inside of me.

    He knows EXACTLY what the K word is and who it's about. He used it in context. I think he's lying.

    Hate and anger? We had WAY more hate and anger for him when he was a Blazer bro...

    I know what race the K word applies to... but honestly I'm not sure what it actually means, if anything.

    Frustration? Yes. Hate and anger? not me anyhow. I did offer up his jersey for sale though. Can you believe no one made an offer? LOL!

    The "k" word comes from the Yiddish word for circle and immigrants at Ellis Island who couldn't write in english made an "X" mark for name and the Jewish folks thought that was a Christian symbol and drew a circle, "K word" instead....it was also traced as a derogatory term for Russian Jews who's names ended in "ki".....two different uses of the word
