Thank you for keeping it real about the racism in other countries. They be writing fairytale narratives
They already don’t like Americans…AND on top of that he black 🤦🏾♂️
Facts
Racism is everywhere you don’t need someone to tell you this 🤦♂️
I hate the fairytales
Asians I grew up around love blacks but I am in Toronto so I don't know
We should all donate support Cube on that Big 3
Give me money to give him
Cube also needs people to support his cause. Since he came out strong as an independent thinker, especially as it relates to topics affecting political positions, he’s being blacklisted real hard. The woke mob doesn’t let anyone think for themselves, and I’m so glad Cube is like f that. He’s seeing firsthand how many in the black community won’t support you if you go against the political machine.

@chrisokogwu3164 what are you smoking?
@@samoryTure Truth. You should try it.
There's alcohol in Kuwait. You have to get invited to the compound parties. Lenny wasn't in the loop 😂
Plenty of alcohol there.. and you right.. he could've got it knowing the right people..
I live overseas now and for years due to my job. I'm in Greece now and it's pure racism overseas but the dudes won't say it, they'll just ignore you or act up a little funny in the taxis until you correct there asses. I lived in Kuwait 10 years from Mahboulla to Salymiya. You can get alcohol in Kuwait if you know the right people because Arabics wild as hell and the Arabic women love us especially us darkskin Brothas. Bottom line overseas is dope once you figure it out and us darkskin Brothas can be Kings overseas once you figure it out. As for as catts playing ball overseas, just get a job because I know a few catts that quit there jobs to play ball. Get a job fellas and use your resources by learning the right people
Man them Arab women something different lol
@@amancalledhawk5575 Yes indeed, lol
Great advice
You not really telling the full story bro. It’s not that they hate black people in Europe , they hate Africans because of the migrant situation. Once they know you American they treat you completely different. Been to Greece many times , and never had any issues…..
Man you a lie about Greece being racist. I was treated better in Greece than in the U.S.
Da Phillipines love Lenny, da gyal dem flockin🔥🔥🔥🔥
You D riding him crazy
@@dukeblue3793 huh looool...dats your department🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@DonniesWrld35 you already proved that’s how you get down with your sus comment. And then you making Caribbean ppl look sus
My bro played in china for fujian and he said the same thing happened to him with racism. Got into it entering the arena before a game where fans was calling him the N****. That also wasn’t the first time and he was in the league before going to China. Lenny’s is not lying about the contract situation. Some dudes don’t get paid on time or at all and depending on the owner when playing certain teams you can get cash bonuses as well. Once again all depends on owner!!!
Jordan Crawford is going through this right now
Nigger/ Nigga is an English word. It’s learned from the white man.
Great episode family, keep pushin, salute!
Salute! I love that you guys are still rocking with good conversations in face of a some adversity. I just subscribed. Double Salute!
The guy seems like he has wanted to be bum celebrating and drinking off the court. Damn I miss Kobe
The Big 3 Season is in direct competition with the NBA sponsored WNBA. The Big 3 is also proves that true Basketball fans would rather watch retired NBA players than active WNBA players. For these reasons the NBA cannot support the Big 3 and has actively and passively taken steps to insure it's ultimate demise.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 That makes complete sense. Never thought about it like that, but I think they could figure out how to separate the 3…. And then that could big the big 3 lol
I live in the Philippines, great place, they love American basketball 🏀
I was only a year older than Lenny's son, I remember watching him live when, I was like 5 years old in Pba 😂
Lenny just came to listen to them talk because this is a interview
they be talking so much. I forget who's being interviewed
This was very useful information ! 👍🏾
Call me crazy but Lavar Ball was a dangerous figure to the corporate structure regarding athletes and endorsement contracts. There’s a reason why he didn’t get the push he needed to make the Baller Brand successful. Having his own high quality product would undermine the power and influence companies like Nike, Adidas and others had over athletes.
Lavar Ball was definitely a threat to the establishment. He was showing players how to brand themselves without the major companies getting most of the money. Stephon Marbury was a threat as well. He made more off his $15 sneakers than 95% of athletes get from Nike. Lavar Ball was dropping major jewels and showing guys that they could make bigger money without Nike. Which is exactly why he was being portrayed so horribly in the media, they had to discredit him. They even sent the house negros like Shaq to talk down on him. Lebron has gotten 200mil from Nike, while Nike has made 20billion off of him
Except his product isn’t quality, that’s why Lonzo kept getting injured in his own shoe and they kept falling apart in game
@@Lucciii32 First off this conversation wasn’t for you, this is a black economics discussion. But since u wanna be nosey, I”ll give u a few facts. The average pair of Nikes only cost $4 to make, then get shipped to the US and sold for hundreds. Every sneaker company uses the same materials from the same overseas sources. Lavar was showing athletes that they can make their own sneakers and sell them for the same marked up prices that Nike has been doing for years. Last I checked Lonzo has a knee injury. Only an idiot would blame a sneaker for the reason a player gets a knee injury. Especially when guys get career ending injuries wearing Nikes all the time. Somehow Nike doesn’t get blamed for those that. Only when a black man tries to sell his own sneakers does the sneaker get blamed for injuries
@@pattycakes1439 stupid bitch I’m black, 2nd off you can’t name another pair of basketball shoes that literally falls apart in game, you’ve problem never even played a sport. Dumb bitch what are you talking about? Have you ever worn those shoes? Huh? Bitch i didn’t think so
@@pattycakes1439 I’m not expecting a response after that thorough dismantling. Salute to you sir.
My man Randy P. Keep doing your thing kid💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
We need more like it !!! Good job BagFuel !!!
He using the PAUSE in unnecessary situations 😂😂
his mind stay on it
this was really good
I forgot bout you guys … keep it up I’m sure it’ll catch eventually
Love the B.I.G. t-shirt, perfectly represents NYC.
100% keeping it real
While in the Corps in 1988 or so myself and several black Marines had the nerve to walk into a "Chinese Only" restaurant in Hong Kong for dinner once That's like my parents walking into a "Whites Only" restaurant when the were growing up. It was my idea, but I couldn't help it. They wouldn't provide menus and we sat ourselves. Each of us, one at a time, walk by adjacent table, pointed to a dish on someone's table and pointed to our table. We even ate from the Dim Sum cart. We ate, and since they didn't give us a bill, we paid what we thought it was worth and added 50%. That was the only "race" issue that I recalled, but that "Chinese Only" sign in the window short circuited my brain. Good experience though. I would DEFINETELY consider relocating to the Philippines though. Beautiful and warm people.
I was in the Corps in Hong Kong in 96, and it was the same. The locals treated me terribly. I had been in Japan for a while and loved it. China was a culture shock.
I was there. I think it's AMERICANS that some of them don't like. I don't think it has anything to do with race for some. I have seen signs that say no AMERICANS aloud.
@@maxxastrothat's a shame because we treat them well in the states.
I'm done with Chinese food
Earned a sub!
When it comes to playing overseas, you are a gun for hire. If you play well, you get paid, if not, you are out. If you are unknown in China, you will see the full racist side of the country. Yet someone like Dwight Howard will see far less of that if any. Starbury was one of the first guys with name recognition and still had gas left in the tank. So he got treated exceptionally well. China gave Starbury permanent residency which is extremely rare.
Yooo that’s Lenny cook? The legend? Breathe healthy again and doing good. Boom
Yeah bruh speaking facts. My homie played overseas and his stories were identical to his
Where do all the overseas people learned the n-word from? White american media
“They not going to start a war for you Draymond because your black” 😂😂😂😂😂
Lenny Cooke. My man
The word “nigha” is a word in china that is similar to using the word “that”
Yey! Philippines is missing you! Imports favorite destination is PBA
The pause thing is childish. But y’all don’t want nobody to play with y’all because you a grown man. How playing childish games.
Damn .. I hope they make after the Math issue !! I really do !
just came back frm dat marbury vid lol bruh i aint even know about that
Da 👑 king
Truth
Prolly ate some 🐀🦇🐶 in the process
This is the barber shop where no one knows what the are talking about
I understand clearly.
Exactly! These niggas sound retarded. Bad takes and all😂😂
When he said I quit, I did too😅
The pausecast
Real talk ... FACTS
He better be glad he didn't make it to the league. Because of his bad habits and being undisciplined, he would have destroyed himself way worst.
Agreed, I still dont think he wouldve had a career similar to Lebron, Melo or Wade
John Witherspoon had a name way before the Friday films
The Most High put the fear of his chosen children into the hearts of every other nation. Don't be surprised if other races look at us with astonishment and use bywords to describe us. It was already written.
Dudes from the streets taking the money ,they been around killers and shakey people their whole life 😂😂
Old school cats because they was really raised from the gutter. Not these new School cats they are wannabes that's privilege
Shit ah be lit if he go to the Big 3. Even coaching if he didn’t want to play
He cool 😎
They love them some Starbury though.
I c why math dropped them
I thought this was about Lenny and they went left dumb
Explain what happened I just want the tea 😂and I had a feeling I seen him somewhere else
Respect legend
They are scared because cube is a wizard frfr… Big 3 has the potential to be just as big as the NBA.. seeing the NBA legends play 3 on 3 was a great idea..
As big as the NBA. I mean....i like em too but cmon now. 😂
@@LS-pv4dh my rebuttal to that is, old heads don’t wanna see these young kids play street ball.… the 3 on 3’s gives the mass a chance to reminisce on the old times
@@ChopFromDaBlock 🤣😂 plz revert to my initial comment.
@@LS-pv4dh I said what I said, you don’t have to agree… I see the potential of the Big 3… if they are stopping him to go to certain arenas what does that tell you?.. yea keep thinking small over there 😂😂
@@ChopFromDaBlock i really like the big 3 too. And i do believe they have big potential. Now the problem is his scheduling. The NBA feels he will totally kill the WNBA, which the NBA has big investments in. He knows that and kept pushing to the point of near blackball. He never once tried to compete vs the NBA and thier timing and scheduling....but you are right. Ppl loved to watched. Kinda left the hapless WNBA without much food left on the table to reach for. The reason i laughed was because even ice cube did not try to compete with the NBA....which seems to have blind followers at this point. So i actually agree with you on a couple points. But the true problem is the big 3 kills the NBA's investment. Waaaay better option to watch.
The Bang Bang dude!!! PAUSE 😂
He actually offered him 1 billion! The reason why Messi didn’t sign was because his wife said no
Because she knows it comes at a cost.
I dont like the Starbury slander... bro had a sore throat and was doing an old traditional way of easing the pain that his grandmother taught him.
Dont they have wild ass house parties in kuwait, and drink tons?
They love Steph in asia
Steph the same shade as them lmaoooo
lol @@woodah7
Those China men Kris crossed on him and said nigga lol dammmmm 😭😭😭😭
Great content
Lost me at the 7:00 mark. 🤦🏾♂️
I heard the horrific things they were doing to black people in China during covid
@@pertburton5586 That had to be over 15 years ago
What about our majority black athletes that enslave their people to make shoes for Nike so they can make a billy. Never learn their culture, embarrass their fans, just take the money, fuck their women, leave them fatherless, and go back to the states with their money first chance they get. China is just using washed up players until they run the NBA which is close and will be making the players just circus animals. Come see the show.
I respect your space but you guys need to learn how to interview. You can’t ask a question and then answer it for the guest.
It’s always about race. What about the kid who died when he was released back from North Korea? He died after being tortured in North Korea for defaming Kim. Did we go to war for him? His “skin” “black” it’s crazy how people who travel the world still see it so small.
Anti black racism is global
He stole a poster while in North Korea and got dealt with. White privilege isn’t global
he pivoted off china with the quickness....must be really bad over there and no one ever calls them out
Ok sooo hearing this "PUASE" shizz on every pidcast after every other sentance is getting annoying...when is this trend gonna be over.
I think a lot of those people are secretly homosexual and they say things and they think we also think it's homosexual. I don't understand why they have to say "pause" after saying " ball dominant guard" or "blackballing".
@GodSonBlessed sooo it's a homophobic phrase that they commonly say? Openly?
Never ! Harlem
@@GodSonBlessedNah. I just heard Dame Dash explain his crew started it decades ago. Its a game that if you say something Suspect you have to say Pause before somebody says Ayooooo. If they say Ayooo before you say pause. The crew OD clowns you for what you said.
Its a Harlem New York game played amongst friends
Yo...u se that dude on expert opinion, who seems like he at the starting line at a race Waiting to say pause
Stephon is mixed. He went and played for his ppl that’s diff than AI
What your man in dreads said about the Saudi guy offering a footballer 700M is very misleading. Jesus Christ!
Don't Play Then and Just Leave....
That All....
Y’all too old to be talkin bout ‘pause’ lmao. Great conversation tho
You need to do your research, the amount of misinformation about the ''Saudi arabian mercinary dude'' and why Mbappe didn't accept the contract is staggering.
Nah eff that. There is no reason to be this ignorant of geo politics racism when it comes to arab and asian countries.
Only thing I didn't like about the interview is how everyone kept saying pause after things they said. I mean when did it become a thing to always reassure others you weren't gay🤷🏽♂️ you're talking about basketball.... I don't get this new culture
Know what I mean
🔥 but yes eating Vaseline 😩😁
Nobody asked him what his dating life was like overseas. They're not asking the right questions!
He there to make paper, you don't think them asian girls was on him? worry about getting your bread up the women will be there brody trust me
First they are going to stop anybody who brings comp to there money 💰 or brand 💯 the NBA is like you are not playing for anybody else but us 💯
wait is this the guy that was supposed to be better than lebron?!?!?
Hynaken think someone paying Bron 2 billion to play basketball at 41 is hilarious
Bruh
Do you know his likeness is what you're paying for. You really don't understand the business of professional athletes.
@@FloydWhoElseTV ok bro
@@xman0216 go somewhere and learn something instead of writing ignorance and using excuses like "it's my opinion".
@@FloydWhoElseTV you ok bro? I said ok
Esso stop cutting the guest off. This y math pk u out. Think u no everything… studding buster
The word you in China is pronounced negua
He’s acting like making a billion dollars is nothing 😂
The term is White Balling him.
China is a nice place if you can learn Mandarin. If you can pick up Mandarin and Cantonese, you can do a lot in China.
Has nothing to do with how ur treated as a black person
Guanzhou, China is a place where there are many African Businesses. Knowing their language and culture can go a long way for black people. Their language, it often sounds like they are using the word nigguh. But that word means something totally different in their language. An American black visitor in that country who doesn’t know that would just assume that they are insulting him(like the basketball player in this video) PAUSE! Smh. They are actually not, you are just ignorant!
@@marcusb.3038Chinese practice anti black racism. That doesn't mean that there are no black people. Stop it
Must be a NON-FBA talking about this babble!
@@wisdommasterreviews4712 very much an FBA, but unlike the norm, an intelligent FBA. Not a "I think with my skin color and not my brain" FBA.😒
Big 3 is not a threat to the nba an never will be.
FROM OG ALLEGEDLY TOOK 350,000 AND ALLEGEDLY PAIR AIR JORDAN KICKS WEARING THEM TO CHAMPIONS GAME AGANIST LEBRON JAMES AT ABCD HIGH SCHOOL CAMP WHICH COACH DID NOT PLAYED/DIDNT PLAYED IN THAT GAME THAT WOULD BOOST HIS RESUME AS BASKETBALL PLAYER FOR SURE
all facts overseas is cut throat
If LeBron went Overseas and Dominated over there too like in The NBA..Would be crazy tho..That would be a Dope Career run..And have his Son Dominate The NBA..And think too..If LeBron was to play Overseas, that could be another way for The NBA to Merge there Business over there too and Create Oversea NBA Teams…
Lmao
LeBron just visited Saudi yesterday 😂😂😂😂
This dude is crazy. Getting 2 billion at one time....To Lebron that is major and no Americans disappear in Saudi. Sorry this guy has not travelled.
Nobody business
It's no different from what Mayweather when Mayweather goes around with his exhibition boxing matches all around the world making big purses with the NIL now in student athletics there's going to be a lot of money to be made in sports globally
Marbury the Truth
Bronx can go anywhere
This dude never learned 🤦🏻♂️
This dude said these guys are worth trillions? Is he for real?
Exaggerating Fam
Sauds money is endless. Not sure if its 233 trilly but 5? yep. them and their brothers/cousins.
@@TopShotta2.23 I don’t know. He sounded serious to me.
Phillipines women only wanted a passage to America.
Nah he was became famous here in the philippines because of his iconic freethrow and reverse dunk before.
And Africa thinks the Chinese is there to help...
L.c.
I'm Chinese and I live in Shanghai. When Lanny came to Shanghai, he was really good at scoring. But never pass the ball. Showing up late for practice arguing with the coach and hitting him. In the end, because he was fighting with his wife for custody of the children without communicating with the team, he went back to the United States by himself and took all the Adidas sponsored sneakers and took the whole team. I was about 12 and it was all over the news. I remember him kissing the tattoo on his right arm every time he shot a free throw like it had an image of his kid on it. But to say that all Chinese coaches are racist is ridiculous to me. The coach was born in the 1950s at a time when few Chinese could speak English. Even less likely to know some racist words. When Rush Hour was released in China, Jackie Chan used racist language in the movie that no one in China understood. I thought that Laney was just an American player who wanted to get back to the nba by scoring more points in China. Maybe he played basketball in a selfish way. But he was such a hypocritical person. People who are not professional and blame the team for racism 20 years ago no one in the Chinese team could speak English. I'm not saying there is no racism in China but I don't believe what he says.
I guess there’s always more to a story.
Yeap, always 2 sides to a story and the truth somewhere in between.
All know, most yes, you can tell he wasn't just talking about the coaches, he was talking about the country. I've been there, it is racist as hell. I hate that country just as much as I hate India. I also hate Italy, and England. Racist racist racist.
Cap ..it the truth yall don't like paying on time and yall don't like blacks
Dude said “ Ima drinker” that should let people know everything they need to know.
Lenny cook was supposed to be lebron before lebron
Why do people envy blks🤔🎶🚬☕️this like a never ending stories and people should focus on god and their selves and we would be ok.
you are all just talking **** there are a handful of very dark skinned African CZcamsrs in China that get showed mad love. The Chinese show more hospitality to blacks more than what they get where they come from. I'm taking about getting stuff for free and being treated like a celebrity.
U crazy if u think Bron turning down 2 Billie of Saudi blood money 😂😂
LeBron is a billionaire boss, why would he leave his family, and work for somebody else
