Not sure that's saying much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that WNBA probably don't get paid well even if you are a top player losing work can't be good for you financially Good thing she can afford 64 pills a day. Imagine what the bill would be like for your average person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I don't buy that. First of all, you just aren't a Crip. That's pretty generic if you're living in Los Angeles. That'd be like saying you work at a burger chain. You probably need be more specific. Second, if you were actually affiliated, part of it is being conscious of what you're actually wearing. Last I checked, I don't think black is a neutral color where he's from. Moreover, I've haven't heard of that many ball players being affiliated because many of them get a pass if they're growing up playing and are really talented. That would pretty much take Harden out of the mix. Lastly, I would buy James Harden being lame enough to pay someone who is actually affiliated to say he is or was at one point. I'm pretty sure I talked about that type of stuff here at some time ago. Certain celebs still do shit like that. However, that he's actually a crip....you would have to convince me that it's not hearsay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he’s a millionaire that a) has no clue what something he’s wearing means and b) claims to not have internet access yet he has both a Twitter and instagram account? I think it makes him look incredibly dumb, and like he’s not even the smartest former OKC Thunder player on his team (I’ve yet to see Westbrook say anything that stupid recently, and actually I can’t think of him ever saying anything incredibly dumb or offensive).

Dolfan in NYC Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 Well to clarify what the poster meant, was that it is was a lot more likely that Harden didn't know what the fuck that flag meant as opposed to a guy who hung with Crips growing up in South Central being a far right wing conservative nutjob. (But again, now we're talking about this and not ”where were you?”) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Tracy McGrady and Jermaine O’Neal and opening a player agency with each other Quote The duo plans to call the new agency Seven1 Sports Group and Entertainment. As Stein notes, the name is a combination of the two players’ jersey numbers as NBA players — O’Neal wore No. 7, while McGrady was No. 1. According to Stein, McGrady and O’Neal are financially secure but have discussed the agency idea over the last couple years, with those talks intensifying over the last few months during the coronaavirus pandemic. The two former NBA stars view player representation as the best path for them to help young basketball players — especially young Black players. “We think it’s needed, and we have a passion for it,” McGrady said. “We’re around kids every single day because we have youth programs. It just makes sense. We see the lack of information that these kids are getting, so we would be doing a disservice to our people if we don’t lend our expertise of what we know and help guide them. This is a calling that we have.” As Stein details, the plan is for O’Neal to take the NBPA test in January to become a registered NBA agent. He would hold partner status in the new agency alongside McGrady, who would likely step away from his current broadcasting role, serving as the agency’s co-owner and as an adviser to players. Many former NBA players transition into coaching jobs, front offices roles, or broadcasting careers, but the player-to-agent jump is less common. As Stein observes, B.J. Armstrong is perhaps the most notable former NBA player to make that move. McGrady and O’Neal acknowledge that it won’t be easy to break into the business and challenge established agents for current NBA players and/or top incoming prospects, but they’re optimistic their efforts will pay off. “At the end of the day, they can’t get all the players,” McGrady said of those established agents. “Obviously it’s going to take us some time to get our feet wet and really understand how this thing works. But we’re not intimidated by anybody. We know there’s going to be a lot of people trying to poke holes into this.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
