Have to love these guys who pin a stake in the ground about a player before they even see them play and then no matter what the player shows they claim their prophesy has been fulfilled. Prime exampl tholdren. Expect him to be trashing Walker for the duration even if he makes all NBA.

If they’re judging off one game then damn.. That was their first real game in forever.. some players adjust differently than others and may take a little time to gain rhythm. He knows he could have done better and I expect his performance to increase each game.

i'm not going to judge a player on a 3 for 16 night, patty mills has given us plenty of those. even manu has. it's a process that is compartmentalized as far as i'm concerned. and while i think he will have stints in austin, i think he won't spend most of the season there.

I hope you are right since I prefer to watch a younger Spurs. I still expect him in Austin a lot, and tbh most of the season. Unless there are injuries or something unusual.

Ronnie better understand the history of San Antonio and the demographics very soon. ESPN will probably blast it the tweet to the world as a triumph, but locals will not be especially on board with this Social Justice Warrior stuff given the deep ties to the military. The document signed on that day set in motion a country that is still the envy of the world. Our government goes to great lengths to preserve and protect the DOI. The version of our history being taught to many young kids like this one is quite slanted to a particular worldview.

USAA won't be interested in a Ronnie walker endorsement any time soon.

Don’t understand the backlash... he’s just pointing out that African Americans were SLAVES for almost another 100 years in a so called land of the free. Can any of you even imagine what slavery was like. Working for free, getting beat to do your work with no opportunities at advancement or happiness. A lifelong of servitude with no gain. Your women raped. Your children with no future and no matter how hard you worked you couldn’t give them a better life than you had. What hope was there? What joy to be had. Just misery and anguish. How can you say you make millions in a free USA when it wasn’t always that way. Nothing was given to this kid. He’s from Reading Pennsylvania. He’s earned everything he’s got. He’s a beacon of hope for his community. If the NBA wasn’t in the USA he’d still be making millions outside of it. African Americans fought in the wars too. Some were forced to fight for slavery to continue. Freedom of speech is ok. You think he’s disrespecting the flag cause it seems patriotic to say, but African Americans weren’t freed this day. The country became free but only these people didn’t. You guys want peace than you have to learn understanding. Understanding unites cause when you see others from their perspective new light is shown.

Trade him to the woke Lakers tbh. Hope he’s included with Kawhitter tbh...

[raybies]

he owes the people before him that paved the way for him to be a legal usa citizen and also the other blacks that played basketball
This is my country too man. My family line came on the Mayflower but I’m not biased. I see things for how they are and to make the arguments your making is flat out wrong. He doesn’t owe nothing to anyone. That would suggest he’s in debt and thus not free. You know the same free that people died for...

[Pavlov]

if he can not take some bashing on his public take on his politically view then he should not tweet it
I wonder if he has donated any of his time to help the blacks...Who says he can't take it?

Up til now he's been a dirt poor kid. What are you saying he should have donated to black people?

[SpursBills]

What he's saying isn't wrong and he absolutely has a right to voice that opinion. But if his goal is to make more people listen to him and his message, then he's best served by playing better. Otherwise it's too easy for people to point to his poor play and discredit him. That's not how things should be, but unfortunately it's just the way things are.

Don't know him personally nor he me so we don't need to care about each other as an individual.
Privately he can do whatever he wants so long as he's not a criminal.

Of course Pop cares about him privately and as an individual, and he's an employee.

I only care about the athlete. If he has game then I care about him a little more, perhaps get more invested in him, perhaps get to know him more through interviews, etc. And some guys I get to admire. He's too early in his career to care much for before he shows me he has some game.

This is literally what you said. If he shows some game, you’ll be fine as to whatever political opinion he has? Sure sounds like a precondition to me. Not critical of anyone’s views but he can’t speak his mind because he shot 3-16 on his first Summer League game? Ridiculous :lol

Most of the time I even skip every thread that revolves into politics here. Why should I care about his anymore than anyone here? I really only know of him bc he's a player and that is all I care about him right now. Mugen was sarcastic and so was I.

It’s not even political, it’s just basic free speech. If he shot 11-11, grabbed 10 rebounds, and logged three steals you’d be fine with whatever came out of his mouth, no matter how egregious? That’s how ridiculous your position is. Damn. No wonder you make those kinds of takes.

Why does someone's stats make him/her more or less an expert on their political surroundings? Just because LeBron is the world's greatest bball player doesn't mean he's any kind of expert on anything outside of bball. LeBron uses his fame for political gain, as does Pop, Kerr, Curry and all in that same ilk. They need to cut it out, quite frankly.

I agree with the thought that when Pop started ranting on Trump and politicians this past year, I hated it b/c there's no point to it in basketball. Plus it showed his true colors and I lost even more respect for him due to this.

I don't pay to come hear Pop's rants or see athletes sit during the national anthem or any protests against guns or cops or authorities. I pay to see professional athletes play a game I love, that's it.

[Chinook]

Pop didn't give his rants during a game. Neither did Lonnie. They can say or think whatever the hell they want on their own time. It's completely un-American to think otherwise. Even if you don't support what Kaep did, this isn't the same thing.

[mando6599]

Pop didn't give his rants during a game. Neither did Lonnie. They can say or think whatever the hell they want on their own time. It's completely un-American to think otherwise.

If they say such things they must be ready to deal with the good and the bad. Hence the term "snowflakes". You've got to be able to support claims, do your own research, and defend yourself and your stance or don't say anything that will catch you flack either way. They melt...hence the fact that he deleted the tweet shows he can't defend himself and doesn't want to lose any more chances at making American money.

Lonnie said nothing that would be "proven wrong" with research. Someone likely told him to cool his tweets, which is a good idea because people easily get offended when you say something that doesn't affect them. Him realizing that isn't a sign of weakness. It's just part of growing up.

Of course no one charges me to read someone's idiotic tweet. But if you say something like that and it gets backlash, then defend yourself and I can respect that. And in a pro sport such as this, I do come to question someone's heart on the court when they can't show some respect to the country they live and make a healthy living in. Let's be truthful, his agent probably told him to take it down because it's all about the bottom line and making money, especially for such a young and new player.

That's probably true. You do have to ask yourself why you hold these tweets against him, though, if he provides you with exactly what you pay for. Like I don't pay to see Lonnie tweet either, so him saying whatever doesn't affect me nearly as much as him not playing well. I certainly don't put this into his "heart" just because he doesn't love the US the way others do.

I get it, he’s young and has an interest in more worldly topics and is passionate about it. You can’t fault him for that. I’m sure he has a reasonable explanation for his feelings on the subject, but he might want to think about expressing himself in a little bit more diplomatic manner....imho

Spurs need to step in and tell him to leave the political and social rants to Pop (I'm sure they did). No disrespect, but belittling July 4 is asking for the wrong kind of fireworks. If you think people consider the National Anthem to be symbolic of the military, imagine what will happen with controversial statements about the 4th of July. I'm not saying he can't have his opinions, I'm just saying that it's best if a teenager with his platform not engage in an argument that will be difficult to defend, easy to misconstrue, and ultimately as Colin can attest, career killing. Now the NBA isn't the NFL, it's a more liberal league, but it's still susceptible to a costly backlash over stuff like this, especially in this climate.

Don’t understand the backlash... he’s just pointing out that African Americans were SLAVES for almost another 100 years in a so called land of the free. Can any of you even imagine what slavery was like. Working for free, getting beat to do your work with no opportunities at advancement or happiness. A lifelong of servitude with no gain. Your women raped. Your children with no future and no matter how hard you worked you couldn’t give them a better life than you had. What hope was there? What joy to be had. Just misery and anguish. How can you say you make millions in a free USA when it wasn’t always that way. Nothing was given to this kid. He’s from Reading Pennsylvania. He’s earned everything he’s got. He’s a beacon of hope for his community. If the NBA wasn’t in the USA he’d still be making millions outside of it. African Americans fought in the wars too. Some were forced to fight for slavery to continue. Freedom of speech is ok. You think he’s disrespecting the flag cause it seems patriotic to say, but African Americans weren’t freed this day. The country became free but only these people didn’t. You guys want peace than you have to learn understanding. Understanding unites cause when you see others from their perspective new light is shown.

It isn't freedom from slavery day or anything like that. It was the birth of the United States of America. If you are black and want to celebrate freedom from slavery day, then just fucking do it and shut the fuck up about the 4th of July. That is the beauty of what we all got right now. If you want to celebrate it, then celebrate it. Nobody is stopping you. So just shut the fuck up and talk about basketball. NONE OF YOU WERE SLAVES!!! Your ancestors endured it so you don't have to. Is that so hard to understand? If you experience racism, then endure it and eventually the future generations will build upon the foundation that you set for them. That is where progress is made.

If you are black and want to celebrate freedom from slavery day, then just fucking do it and shut the fuck up about the 4th of July. That is the beauty of what we all got right now. If you want to celebrate it, then celebrate it. Nobody is stopping you. So just shut the fuck up and talk about basketball. NONE OF YOU WERE SLAVES!!! Your ancestors endured it so you don't have to. Is that so hard to understand? If you experience racism, then endure it and eventually the future generations will build upon the foundation that you set for them. That is where progress is made.
God, what a stupid fucking post.

Blacks didn't get their independence on July 4th like you did, inbred boy. Also, why does he have to "stick to basketball"? Do you have to "stick to corn farming"?

Actually, they did...from England. See we celebrate the 4th of July as Independence from England. We celebrate the civil rights movement on MLK Day. See, it's okay to celebrate winning a war that got us independence from England. Not everything has to be seen from the lens of how can we stop people from enjoying their day off.

Most blacks in the US were still enslaved during independence. If anything, Juneteenth is the celebration of manumission.

Yes, but celebrating the 4th has never been about universal freedom. It's only been about winning the American Revolution, i.e., celebrating independence from England. Not sure why this has to be turned into a conversation about slavery. I guess it's because some people don't want others enjoying their grilled hamburgers and fireworks.

It's because of what Walker posted. People are saying 'freedom' has not always been there for large populations in the United States and he has a right to say so.

I agree.

How many fans are the Spurs going to lose because of him and Poop's antics? It might be time to cut ties.

Ok. So what's the point? Everyone knows this. Its the equivalent of some redneck stating we shouldnt celebrate mlk day because civil rights have come further today. Ignorant post from a kid.

Stop fagging it up fags.

It's not ignorant from him. Your posting and confusion is precisely why it's being discussed.

[Leetonidas]

Why do any of you pasty ass mayonnaise loving faggot care what holidays a 19 year old celebrates? Quit being a triggered snowflake faggot tbh

[Chucho]

LOL, who cares what his feelings are?

If you're gonna knock his beliefs, knock the batshittery of him thinking the moon landings were faked and that we are all part of an illusion that he isn't "certain of yet and needs to research more". Where's Fat Freddy and Cosmo?

[BSfromTX]

LMAO, doesn’t matter anyways, we are all slaves now. Research how money is created and how it affects our government and personal lives... people think freedom is just getting to go to the movies when we want. It’s waaaay more than that and we lost it over a hundred years ago... what the 4th represents doesn’t even exist anymore..

so so in reality the kid may know more than both sides fighting in here

Jesus did he really post all of that?

[Chucho]

He got the last page on Sports Illustrated two weeks ago (my personal favorite issue of the year- the "Where are they Now" ish- had an awesome story about Run TMC) and SI calls him the Most Interesting Rookie. He thinks the moon landings were faked, the earth and all of us are part of an illusion but still needs to "research it further" and hangs out with people who think we devolved from giants.

This dude has more issues that could easily be picked on and laughed at the way Cosmo is universally laughed at for his bat shittery. Why can't everyone find common ground and laugh at this dude because he's fuckin insane?
