An NBA Discussion

The Bulls lost last night and are out of the playoffs.

Donald Sterling has been banned from the league for life yesterday. He’ll likely wind up selling the team.

Larry Johnson said that blacks should have a league of their own.

Say what?? Ok, let’s have that (national) conversation:

S:   Yeah, LJ2 thinks we should have a league of our own man.
R:   All brothers?
S:   Unh-huh.
R:   Coaches & players?
S:   Unh-huh.
R:   Refs?
S:   Unh-huh.
R:   How ‘bout the owners?
S:   Maybe not right away but, yeah, sure, why not?
R:   Right, yeah, why not.
S:   It’s beautiful man, we should do it.
R:   We?
S:   Yeah, we need to do it!
R:   Where would we start man?
S:   Right where we are. Just convert over.
R:   What about the white players?
S:   Dey gone.
R:   Latin players?
S:   Ha! Get serious man! I’m talkin’ hoops not kickball!
R:   Where do they go?
S:   Maybe form their own league.
R:   Wouldn’t that be racist tho?
S:   Um, yeah maybe. Still, if we said it was ok, that we were cool with it and all.
R:   So an all-white league.
S:   Yeah and all-black league.
R:   And they could play each other in a Superbowl or World Series kinda thing!
S:   Uh, yeah,,,um..heeheehee…
R:   Why you laughin’ man?
S:   Imagine the best all-black team against the best all-white team.
R:   Yeah, I see what-
S:   Might be cool if you had a no-jumpin’ rule! Ha!
R:   Ok, ok. Seems kinda like segregation though.
S:   Yeah, ok, but they done it to us and we can do it right back.
R:   And then-
S:   Hey wait, hey wait!
R:   What?
S:   We could even allow the “N” word in the league- total “in yo face NFL” move, you know?
R:   All black..
S:   Sure man.
R:   Would whites be allowed to watch, to come to the games?
S:   Good question but sure, for awhile I guess. But later on-
R:   And what companies would be allowed to endorse the leagues?
S:   Like the fans man- white companies for the AWL and black for the ABL.
R:   You got names already?
S:   That’s the easy part bro, c’mon!
R:   How do you define white and black companies?
S:   Simple man, by who owns them!
R:   What if they are public and owned by everybody?
S:   Huh? Ok, maybe by who runs them then- the CEO, y’know?
R:   And if a black CEO replaces a white one the company would have to switch leagues?
S:   Yeah yeah yeah man. You getting’ it!
R:   Sounds real complicated.
S:   Not really man.
R:   Is there enough black money to support the same salaries?
S:   Huh?
R:   If only blacks can watch and only black companies can sponsor then is there enough money?
S:   Sure sure sure man.
R:   I’m not so sure man.
S:   Why not?
R:   It sounds complicated.
S:   It ain’t.
R:   Sounds kinda racist.
S:   Not if we say it’s cool.
R:   Sounds like we movin’ back to segregation.
S:   Cept we in the house now.
R:   Not sure the money and support would be there.
S:   It would, it would man! Why you so damn negative?
R:   Just sayin…
S:   Look, Mr. Larry Johnson knows what he’s talkin’ about.
R:   You sure?
S:   Sure I’m sure. LJ2 ain’t no dumb nitwit bro…

The Bulls lost last night and are out of the playoffs…

…and I think I am finally off of the NBA for good.
