NBA

How the mighty – and the woke – have fallen! The dominant international men’s basketball powerhouse forever, Team USA, suffered a shocking, embarrassing pre-Olympic exhibition game loss to lowly Nigeria on Sunday. The NBA’s wokeness sure doesn’t fly on the world hoops stage.

Though it seems like everything to do with the NBA is drenched in social justice, pro-BLM BS – not to mention valuing its Chinese clientele over its home citizens – one head coach proved that not every aspect of the league is infested with woke garbage. Christian outlet Faithwire reported on Friday how Phoenix Suns head coach Monty Williams took an opportunity to show gratitude…

Whiny rich, woke, pampered guy LeBron James is taking a thorough shelling from two media notables for his childish complaining. Stephen A. Smith and Shaquille O’Neal let the Lakers’ superstar motormouth have it for his repulsive attitude. And by the way, NBA TV ratings are way up since James and his team were eliminated from the playoffs, too.

On Thursday, the National Basketball Association announced it’s creating a new social justice award named after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Apparently following “Crisis Management for Dummies” logic, the league’s latest social justice obsession comes at a time of plummeting popularity.

Toward the end of a Friday discussion with the NBA's Garrett Temple and Donovan Mitchell, and the WNBA's Nneka Ogwumike, CNN Tonight guest host Laura Coates asked Mitchell how he lives as a black man knowing that, despite his fame as an professional athletes, he could be killed by the police.

Twitter refused to investigate an inflammatory tweet by LeBron James for potential violations after the NBA superstar threatened an Ohio police officer. James went after the officer who shot and killed a 16-year-old African-American girl who attacked another girl with a knife.

Almost to a team, this week’s conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is seen as a mandate to double down on social justice activism. USA Today said the verdict was centuries in the making. Sports Illustrated saw the world breathing a sigh of relief.

Following Sunday's police killing of Daunte Wright in Minneapolis, San Antonio Spurs Coach Gregg “Pop” Popovich let loose with another of his anti-Republican eruptions. The Trump hater denounced deplorable NBA owners who donate money to Republicans opposed to gun control and defunding the police. All the while, the NBA continues to demonstrate its fealty to the concentration…

Americans will have to find another credible solution to the problem of sexual assault because an upcoming cartoon movie isn’t up to the task. Deadspin suggests LeBron James and Pepe Le Pew could have educated people on the problem, but they don’t pass the smell test.

All the posturing against racial inequality by NBA social justice warriors sounds like nothing more than baseless talk. On Tuesday, the Miami Heat suspended Meyers Leonard indefinitely for an anti-Semitic slur on the Twitch stream video game Call of Duty.

On Sunday night’s CNN Newsroom, host Pamela Brown continued CNN’s ongoing efforts to fearmonger about COVID by bringing on medical analyst and former Biden Transition COVID Advisory Board member Celine Gounder to meltdown over alleged super spreader events and advocate against Americans trying to return back to normal. Brown freaked out over Americans having a “false sense of security…

The National Basketball Association just swallowed its tongue on China’s atrocities in order to restore a major revenue stream. U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) pressured the league to defend its new broadcast agreement with the ruthless communist nation’s state-run TV.

LeBron James and USA Today are declaring war on election integrity efforts as “voter suppression” by exploiting the NBA’s all-star game weekend. His More Than A Vote video portrays Black Lives Matter thugs as defenders of democracy battling against white supremacists.

In what should be considered a controversial decision if we had a fair media, the NBA's Dallas Mavericks has stopped playing the Star Spangled Banner this season. Yet when the story became public, ABC and NBC yawned and offered no coverage on Monday or Tuesday. CBS This Morning on Wednesday for a scant 36 seconds.
