Enes Kanter, where are you?

November 18, 2022November 18, 2022 Brandon King

To basketball fans, the gentlemen pictured in the title image should be quite familiar. As you may recall NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom had a lot over the past couple of years, going on national television to daftly finger-wag at Lebron James as he laid responsibility at the feet of the NBA Superstar for the skepticism of and reluctance to take the COVID-19 vaccination. Freedom was also critical of Lebron and Nike for the, according to him, their complicity via their silence over the plight of the whygars in China.…

When he decided that he no longer to wanted to play with LeBron James in the summer of 2017 , that was the genesis of the shift of how he was perceived , particularly in the sports media. Since then , and at times partially because of his own actions, has been a consistent target of derision from the media and that rancor has spilled over into the…

When it comes to Lebron James there seems to be a lot to like- good husband and father, phenomenal basketball player and pretty decent human as you don’t hear about him being involved in any type of shenanigans. However what should cause Lebron to be looked with the most Adiscerning of eyes is the fact the mainstream touts him as a black “leader” and “activist” that speaks out on issues of “social justice.” While he does talk, a lot, on social issues, when one listens what becomes plainly obvious is…

I never thought I’d see the day…

November 4, 2022November 4, 2022 Brandon King

For a variety of reasons, there are truly bizarre times in which we currently inhabit. In many ways up is now down and right now left. The Kyrie Irving has exposed a lot of black personalities in sports as the buck broken company me. They truly are. Surprisingly, unbelievably a voice who has run counter to this narrative is Jason Whitlock-yes you read that correctly. To be clear I have multiple disagreements with Whitlock but his recent monologue in which he raised the question of why Amazon and Jeff Bezos…
