He could have spoken up for truly oppressed people ( the Uyghurs ) effectively slaves working at forced labor for the Chinese communist party and Nike. Instead, they chose to take a knee to Chinese communist party and not speak out on the Uyghurs behalf and continue to profit and shill for Nike while this truly discriminated minority continues to suffer. All for the sake of the almighty dollar! Shame on them!

Simple solution that preserves the best of both approaches. Limit the # of 3 point goals per game. Maybe 3 per game would be about right. Use them early or save them for the 4th quarter. Take as many from beyond the line as you like. But after the third one, it only scores 2 points. That preserves the 3 point shot for critical moments, but returns the importance of the post up game and the paint. You can at any time get 3 points from a 2 in the paint + 1 from the foul line. That also gets a foul on your opponent. That keeps the importance of the 3 point line, and returns the importance of the post up game.

@@Mrd9960 The way I heard HIM describe it was that he was having trouble with the injury and that his personality was kind of low key and not inclined to making a big deal about what he was going through, but that he was working on it and trying to get better. He became aware of some of his teammates' judgments that he wasn't taking it seriously or working hard enough and that he'd given up and he insisted there wasn't anything to it. Misperceptions. I believe him. The amount of bragging and self promotion he does on these shows substantiates how important his career and achievements were to him and that he wasn't inclined to giving up on himself or his team. I have nothing against him as a player: I've seen him on KZfaq, mostly, but he seems great. I suspect that if he'd been around when Mychal Thompson showed up, the Cs would've done a lot better in '87, but that's just from watching tape of the games. In any case, I'm not a big fan of the humble brag and Maxwell seems to have perfected it. Cringe.

Believe me, they’ll due their self-flogging for everyone to see just so they can show the world how enlightened they’ve become. Red drafted the first black player into the NBA. Red had the first all-black starting five in the league in the mid 1960’s. He hired the first black head coach in Russell. This was done in BOSTON! Bill Russell had some terrible things done to him while living in Boston. The team faced racism on the road and they still managed to win 11 titles with Russell.
