So what are you suggesting? That you take the man's property? The government can't even do that so how would the NBA be able to tell the man he can't sell his team to the highest bidder? You're lucky you were able to force him to sell and get him up and out of your league.
I know that Shaq and Chuck are not leftards by any means but that kind of "this isn't fair" language is very reminiscent of it. Life isn't fair. You got server out of the league, celebrate..
what is that background
music its too dope
Man I hate to admit but I think kayne was onto something. Mazel tov
Love you all but your wrong on the Suns owner thing. While I agree if he did all those bad things that's terrible. He still owns the team and should be paid market amount. If I paid for my car then drove it into like a light pole. Take my license, ban me from driving again. But if I fixed the car up and sold it for 10x the amount that's fine. I still have no license and am still banned from driving again. I was given the license but I paid to own the car. He paid for the team and was given a license to join the NBA. Anytime in life someone tries to take what you own bad things start happening.
It's funny how they all talk about diversity in ownership but never mention it at a player level (mainly black). You know why that is? Because playing in the league is based on merit. There's a case to be made for ownership (measured by accumulation of capital) also being merit based, so imo their points are not valid since what they mean is just biased,they don't want "diverse" representation, they want black representation. Alsothe fact that he sold the team for 10x doesn't mean anything, the market value is what matters. I love the guys but if they are going to comment on sth they should at least understand how markets work.
Barkley said the same thing twice lol
They didnt even force him to sell it, he chose to. They just suspended him so there was no punishment whatsoever.
They made Kyrie perform steps in order to get back on the Nets. With Sarver, there’s no accountability for him such as forcing him to learn about the history of racism or even banning him from the NBA like they did Sterling. Instead, he gets paid more than the initial investment and sticks to his disgustingly bigoted mentality, totally unfair.
The solution is easy really. The top NBA players should pool their resources and start their own league. All profits go to the players. Teams should be owned by the players and when the player retire ownership transfers.
Players could earn a ton more money and they’d have ownership. Yes it’s risky. But they have the people that could help make it a reality if they do chose.
Forced diversity never works……
Shiiiiiietttt yalll gotta hav dat diversity make da suns bettrrr fr fr
This is America
I told yall u cant trust a mayo-faced man like Ernie. As usual he has nothing to say to back them up on this topic, but quick to cut ppl off when they disrespect Luka. #ernieisracist
Ìf only indiana Got that center i think hes happy to go out from suns and now Suns are playing ayton crazy when booker is playing
chris paul tuning out monty again
If they want to punish an owner, then the league should write some of rule saying you can only make X% of profit when selling a team after being forced to sell and the rest of the profit gets split between the other teams to be spent on specific community outreach programs. In capitalism, there can indeed be rules and regulations. But they didn't even force this guy to sell, they just gave him a slap and the wrist, because, duh he owns the team, you can't really fire him unless previously mentioned rules are in place.
What's not rite
Shut up and analyze the game
Morality police
No excellent valid points
I'm out for good, that's how markets work
It’s a free market
I’m going to punish you – here’s 4 billion dollars. For a team that isn’t even worth 4 billion.
Ayton has loads of potential, but his biggest issue is that he's still super immature. He's been immature and had the wrong mindset since college. This is the same kid when he played in Arizona, his team was the favorite to win it all but got eliminated in the first round and then after the game he literally said he's not thinking about it anymore and just focusing on the NBA draft. Kid has talent, but no heart whatsoever.
It’s not right. But this is Capitalism. This is the system you want.
Diversity of ownership? $$$$ talks. The NBA is a business not a diversity project, if it were it wouldn't be 95% black dudes running around lol.
So sick of Monty targeting Ayton, man. I’ve seen Book completely forget about his coverage and leave wide open 3 shooters in the corner. Not a peep from Monty. Popovitch used to chew out Duncan just like anyone else on the team, but Monty is so afraid/scared to hurt Paul and Book’s feelings that he exclusively exerts his frustration on DA because he is a “nice guy”.
Why does Kenny’s moustache look fake
He paid 400M in 2001. If he had to sell it at 400M today, that would be a loss. That would be closer to like $700M when accounting for inflation alone.
It's all BS! If the league really cared about Sarver's misconduct they would have taken action years ago, so the market value wasn't as strong as it is now where he's making billions on this "forced" sale.
Big respect to Ernie for not interrupting when Kenny, Chuck and Shaq spoke 🙏🏽
Remember how the suns lost badly on game 7 because ayton intentionally played poorly as he wanted to get his max contract first and instead of resting chose to play online games till 4am.
He's like a 5 year old toddler in a 45 year old body.
Bro Kenny just saying a lot of nothing that makes no sense when chuck could’ve said the same thing in 100 less words and made it make sense 🤦♂️ just tryna sound smart by saying HELLA words stop dude
