Trying to think of male basketball players who have been clowned for their looks.

Patrick Ewing, definitely. Draymond.

Can anybody name a light/white player who gets that?

With the women, I think it's not color exclusive because women are judged more for their looks generally, but I bet it happens more with the darker ones.

Let's expand it to all of sports. Anna Kournikova vs Serena-- I bet Serena's looks have been more maligned than any woman in sports history. Am I bullshitting or do you just not like the truth being brought up?

I'm not pushing an agenda like the wacko, shit is very relevant to the basketball-related tweet posted just 20 minutes ago.

A racist will say racism doesn't exist and gaslight folks for bringing it up because it makes them uncomfortable and feel guilty. They can't discuss it in a nuanced way openly because it'll force them to be disingenuous and lie.

A colorist will say colorism doesn't exist (on a porn board of all places :lol:) and gaslight folks for bringing it up because it makes them uncomfortable and feel guilty. They can't discuss it in a nuanced way openly because it'll force them to be disingenuous and lie. :dunno:



I'm expecting a big year from Zion this season. He took a shit ton of criticism this offseason over nothing. :yes:

All he did was announce he got his BLACK girlfriend pregnant. Then some porn star started stalking him on social media. People act like he caught charges or slapped some woman up. :confused:

I agree he needs to stay healthy. If he does, he's gonna have a big year.

Only posting this cuz this is crazy to me. Whether he hit her or not, she decides to put the cape on AFTER he gets traded and released? I think she lying just to save his career but damn.

These NBA dudes need to focus on ball instead of these broads.

Or focus on not hitting women. The vast majority of players don't have that problem. Plus, it's not the first time he has had anger issues that got him in trouble and none of those involved a woman.

One of the most intriguing teams going into this season is the Houston Rockets. They hired a new coach in Ime, and brought in vets like VanVleet, Oladipo, Jeff Green, and Dillon Brooks to pair with young guys like Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr., and Amen Thompson.

It sure would be nice to have a real Rockets fan in this thread to discuss the team instead of just Kobe and Mike stans that live in Texas that occasionally root for them. Their squad deserves real support. I haven't seen much discussion on the players I listed but suspect if they have early success, some folks will come in and pretend they been posting about them instead of Wemby or some white adjacent player that isn't on their squad.

Oh no doubt. I’m only speaking of the ones that do. If you can’t do right when dealing with women than chill till you can get it right and just focus on your job
