      First off Jaylen brown said in the same interview that he believes fixing the disparity in the wealth gap for blacks uplifts the entire economy. Entire. Not just blacks. You're worst than Stephen A with the false narratives.
      Athletes get paid to drink a drink in a commercial. And that helps the brand. Kids and people don't have to see or hear anything else but that. Brands do it all the time. You're making excuses for injustice. So every black player that wants to help their own black community should be shunned and blackballed. Imagine that then you would have true black voices drowned out and looked down upon as last place. Oh wait that explains the racial wealth gap. You still think it's cool to undermind black people voices that stand for black uplifting. Then you're part of the reason for the disparity in the racial wealth gap for blacks and why America is falling.

      This whole thing came about because Jaylen had a problem with himself not being on the all NBA TEAM and thought it was wrong. They talked about the uproar on it, trying to find some answers or DIFFERENT views on why some may think he shouldn't be there. Or perhaps other reasons. That's where all this is springing from. SAS echoing what some of the league is saying that he pointed out that he doesn't agree with. If you really think about it. Him not agreeing with the text(which he states)in the original video, he actually takes up for Jaylen Brown and let's those doubters know about how he disagreed those views letting the league know that.

Whoever goes public with their comments first should reach out, particularly with comments like this. Give them a heads up at the very least. Sounds like they were both surprised to hear it, which leads me to believe Stephen A didn't bring it up to them beforehand, which is messed up.

    They don’t like Jaylen brown because he’s a literal genius. The guy was taking graduate classes and on the varsity chess team as a freshman at cal. He teaches at MIT, was the youngest NBAPA Vice President EVER. When he was being drafted. Teams were worried that he’d get bored with basketball because he’s so smart. That being said, I’m not surprised “people around the league” don’t like him. Nothing scares folks in America like a black man who is exceptionally smart, and knows it.
