Casual racism
> I have this funny thing
Yes Iggy, very unique take of white people not being good at basketball?
The best player in the league is white
Cue the triggered nephews
Iggy is just genuinely a stupid person, doesn’t surprise me he supports Mark Jackson getting another job as a HC and also wouldn’t be shocked if he was a closet anti semite
Some casual racism from a absolute moron not surprising.
This is gonna be one of those threads where the top posts are all about the brigading that’s apparently happened with no brigading happening.
oh
Iggy is a fucking clown.
[Its anti-italian discrimination T!](https://c.tenor.com/l9ZUJLNHdd8AAAAC/sopranos-italiano.gif)
Lol what did he say that’s not true? It would be the same for something like the NHL. Just search too 20 players and not a single black person. Stop being so butthurt and soft.

Guys the difference is supposed to be that White folks just hear these comments and laugh em off because it doesn’t really effect us or our livelihoods, ideally it should be like this for everyone but it isn’t
My fellow Mayo Men need to sack up and take a joke
Ah, racism, a good old funny thing
remember, iggy thinks kyrie is a top 20 player in nba history.
Igoudala on DiVincenzo: “I have this funny thing with white players. It’s like im racist but he’s good.”
Donte and the warriors is a great fit. Happy for him but miss the raguuu
As a white former player (almost 20 years ago, during highschool PE class), I feel somewhat offended.
If the roles were reversed the league would’ve been up in flames and I say that as a poc
My favorite genre of r/nba outrage is a mild at best comment about white players turns into the number 1 post of the day. Prime nbacj material
I don’t really think this is racist, just a weird ass comment. Don’t really see the point in saying that, but it’s Iggy so I’m not at all surprised. This is kind of tame compared to previous shit he has said tbh.
He’s not wrong lol
This sub wont like this one lmao
I have the same thoughts when I draft my fantasy team.
Iggy has said way dumber stuff before, this is pretty tame for him.
“The one thing that always bothered me when I played in the NBA was I really got irritated when they put a white guy on me,” [Larry] Bird explained, according to an ESPN write-up. “I still don’t understand why. A white guy would come out [and] I would always ask him: ‘What, do you have a problem with your coach? Did your coach do this to you?’ And he’d go, ‘No,’ and I’d say, ‘Come on, you got a white guy coming out here to guard me; you got no chance.’ … For some reason, that always bothered me when I was playing against a white guy.”
“As far as playing, I didn’t care who guarded me— red, yellow, black,” Bird continued. “I just didn’t want a white guy guarding me. Because it’s disrespect to my game.”
This wouldn’t sound so bad if he didn’t start by saying “I have this funny thing with white players”.
Like nothing’s wrong with pointing out that white people aren’t good at basketball in a joking manner. It’s a common thing to joke about, especially when you’re talking about a friend/teammate.
But when you start by saying “i have this funny thing with white players”, it gives off a weird connotation…
He’s joking around, let’s not blow this out of proportion
I love Iggy as a player but he is so damn unlikeable.
He skipped “sneaky athletic” and went immediately to “you’re pretty good for a white guy” 😂
I don’t know why he can’t just lie like a normal person and say DiVincenzo is good.
that seems unnecessary
[yeah, you guys got andre’d](https://youtu.be/3UdOXODdPjY)
White Ballers Matter
Is he wrong? Not really, no. Should he have said this? Not really, no.
so many white kids in this sub do not understand racism
This is gonna piss people who don’t watch or care about basketball off. Everyone else is gonna say ya that’s kinda true lol.
I prefer not to speak, if I speak I’m in big trouble
Look at all the ppl angry at the paste hate. Lol.
“White guy, you’re good at basketball”
r/nba – “So can I call black people disgusting, sub-human thugs?”
Absolute comedy
oh look, more ignorant things coming out of coach Iggy’s mouth…
Iguodala on Chick-fil-A: “I have this funny thing with fast food restaurants. It’s like ‘Yo, it ain’t too many of y’all that are really good.’ But it’s good.”
He’s also wrong about Donte being good
Ppl in the comments finna be like “but if i say black people shouldn’t have rights I’d be labeled a racist”🤣🤣🤣🤣
When white players are good there good,il expalin later
Luka breaking his ankles this season for sure
Iggy is a walking “imsosmart” post
That’s racist
