    Do you think Trump will invite Marc Gasol to the Whitehouse?

    Gasol is Spanish, not Mexican.

    I know. To Trump though he probably looks like the sole white guy on the team

    I'm guessing burgers and pizza won't be enough to lure a wealthy European to the WH

    Trump MUST demand that our treaties with Canada be renegotiated.
    For every NBA finals between an American and a Canadian team, the American team must be guaranteed at least 10 FTs more than Canadian team. All referees must be USA Americans ... we can never allow Canadians to beat us on own soil again.

    I don't think he's worried the public caring.

    What we know for sure is, our thin skinned, whiny, man baby president cares.

    We also know for sure that he drives the angry, hysterical loonie lefties out of their minds, which is so much fun to watch.

    I don't buy that Trump is thin-skinned. That orange tan thing he does has to have thickened his skin up to the consistency of an old catcher's mitt.

    Some reporting from Toronto newspaper that seems more in depth: "However, The Globe has interviewed three men who were sitting within 10 feet of the altercation, and each says they never saw Mr. Ujiri strike the officer’s face."
    And on how the police are really trying to milk this: "Police have said the deputy suffered a concussion and jaw injury as a result of the incident and he is currently off work. Sacramento-based litigation lawyer David P. Mastagni says he has been retained by the officer and that his client has not ruled out suing the Raptors, the NBA and Mr. Ujiri, who is already facing a criminal investigation."

    My guess from the beginning was that the officer was embellishing on being hit just to get "paid".

    But this article does suggest one thing that I asked from the beginning: in the confusion with people rushing the court what is security looking for? Was there a specific color of badge that helped them distinguish who was allowed on the court?

    "According to police, Mr. Ujiri did not have the specific credentials needed to enter the court. The Raptors executive appeared to be holding a red badge, but only officials with a purple badge and gold arm band were allowed on the court."

    This could be bullshit and Ujiri could have had the right credentials, but it is a huge factor on why the guard tried to stop him. That was his job. With people rushing by to join the celebration, the security guards are pretty much just looking for one thing, the color of your........ badge. And if Ujiri was holding the badge in his hand and it wasn't even the right one, of course he was going to get stopped if he tried to rush by.

    Body cam turned off before altercation. Wow, so unlucky for the totally in the right deputy!

    The police also claim to have footage showing the incident as they described it which they are not releasing.

    Witnesses saying Ujiri, showing his credentials, was shoved, and retaliated. Shame the deputy is so badly injured and traumatized. Ujiri should be locked up.

    The people that advocate for racists are the fuckin' loonies and the people who cheer them on are worse than them.
