Nice try, but Kiwi is still a system player :lol

[Clipper Nation]

So that's why Porker is such a selfish prick. He took Pop too literally and thinks only of himself.

Here's the good stuff:

“I think it’s sad if a person’s whole self-image and self-worth is based in their job,” he said. “Whether you’re a basketball player, a plumber, a doctor, a mailman or whatever you might be, why not try your best to live a more interesting life that includes other people, other cultures and different worlds?”

I couldn't agree more.

Here's the ridiculous stuff:

The Spurs try to exchange ideas, especially about race, in more substantive ways. In last year’s training camp, they hosted John Carlos, the Olympian who raised his fist on the medal stand in 1968. During the season, they scored tickets to the Broadway show “Hamilton,” and they had a private screening of “Chi-Raq,” the film by Spike Lee, who answered questions from the players and then joined them for dinner.

It seems like Pop's idea of exchanging ideas "especially about race" begins and ends with only one perspective. Where's the diversity in that?

If Pop wants a thought provoking guest, he should bring in Chicago Police Superintendent Ernie Johnson (a black man) to talk to the players. Have a healthy exchange of ideas after he relays the following story: http://dailycaller.com/2016/10/07/chicago-cop-savaged-by-unarmed-suspect-didnt-pull-her-gun-because-didnt-want-to-be-national-news-video/

That shits real, not some unoriginal film by a hack director with an agenda. (ChiRaq's premise was ripped-off from a classical Greek story called Lysistrata)

Maybe he could invite Reginald Denny ( a white man) to discuss how it felt on March 13, 1992 to be dragged from his 18-wheeler and nearly beaten to death in a vicious hate crime. Nah, maybe that would be a little too uncomfortable of a discussion.

I know!! He could have everyone read: "A Friend to All Mankind":Mrs. Annie Turnbo Malone and Poro College. Its the story of a woman born to former slaves who became the first black, female millionaire. Born four years after the Civil War and died in 1957. She was worth the equivalent of 167 million in her day. Annie Malone was a bad-ass who succeeded in much worse times than now. If she were alive today, I wonder if she would take a knee during the playing of the National Anthem or cry tears of joy knowing a half-black man was POTUS. Again - different perspectives.

Sure they are, that's why Pop calls every play and the back court spends the first 5 seconds of the shot clock turned around watching Pop for orders.
