Best of the new former hoopers turned analysts out
Iman Shumpert goes off on anyone calling for the NBA to shorten its 82 game season, arguing that players should focus on conditioning and changing how they play instead of reducing the number of games.
Shumpert points to legends like Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, John Stockton and Gary Payton, who played 82 game seasons, questioning why today’s players need fewer games. He believes the league should bring back more physical basketball, with players attacking the post, taking midrange shots, playing through contact and cutting down on flopping and exaggerated moves.
He also questions how much extra time players would actually gain from shortening the season, arguing that changing the way the game is played may be a better solution to the injury problem.

Reminder that MLK’s movement was not as long ago as people will make you believe. His granddaughter just turned 18 this year.
Martin Luther King Jr.'s granddaughter voted for the first time yesterday in Georgia.

He got hurt the game after his 20-20 game where it legitimately looked like he was seeing the source code of the defense like Neo. He's not lying
Brandon Jennings says he would’ve made $200,000,000 and been a multiple-time All-Star in Detroit under Stan Van Gundy if he hadn’t torn his Achilles
After starting the 2014-15 season 5-23, the Pistons went 12-3 over their next 15 games, with Jennings averaging around 20 points and 7.2 assists during that stretch before tearing his Achilles.
“He's one of the greatest coaches I've ever had that prepare you for a game. I've never been prepared for a game from any coach like Stan Van Gundy. I'm talking about he know everything about you and it's going to be all the things that you do. Then he's going to get this board. The whole board is going to be filled with everything that go into the game. So if you fuck up, you ain't paying attention”
“It was so detailed and dialed in. It was some of the best game planning I've ever seen in my life. That's why when we was 5 and 23 and we hit that stride, it was because people started dialing in and then of course I tore my Achilles. But that little stint with Stan Van Gundy… If I don't get hurt with Stan Van Gundy, I'm $200 million in and 2-time 3-time All-Star. Let's stop playing. I got Andre Drummond, KCP, Greg Monroe. Jodie Meeks over here, Kyle Singler”

Remember that “theory” about music head elites coming together to monopolize hip hop and exploit every aspect of it all the while keeping the participants as just workers and not decision makers? Crazy theory huh?
Never forget this video of Lyor justifying his exploitation of black violence and drug addiction as “having a family to feed too”. He has killed the career of anybody who showed any sympathy for Palestinians. The music industry is filled with leeches like this who exploited black suffering to make 9-10 figures. The man who invented the ultra exploitative 360 deal is the son of Israeli spies. Dame called all of this out when I was a kid.
As the head of global music at Youtube, he is the filter for what gets pushed onto playlists and what should go to die. Just like the other expose on UMG, the imperialists are controlling what is pushed to your ears at every level. Palestinians had families to feed too but he has used his power and wealth to further their oppression. This is how easily global struggles are intertwined without you knowing it

I adore Marvin’s music, but yall are not being honest about that man’s state at the time of his death.
We are not very honest about Marvin holistically tbh.
Marvin Gaye was shot dead by his own father - one day before his 45th birthday, in the $2 million mansion he’d bought his parents in 1973. His father never spent a single night in prison for it. The court decided Marvin had brought it on himself
He was one of the greatest voices American music ever produced, fresh off the biggest comeback of his life with “Sexual Healing.” He died on his parents’ floor, killed with a .38 he’d given his father himself - a Christmas gift, so the old man could feel safe from intruders
He’d moved back home in 1983 to care for his sick mother, and his father couldn’t stand having him there. On April 1, 1984, an argument became a fight. The old man walked out, came back with his son’s gift, and fired twice
In the footage below, his father stands in court - where the murder charge was cut to manslaughter because Marvin had struck him first, and the man who pulled the trigger walked out with five years of probation
Here is where it becomes about money. Marvin had spent his life pouring his fortune into this family - he bought them that mansion, he came home to pay for his mother’s care. His success was supposed to protect them all. Instead it drew him back under the roof of the one man who resented everything he’d become, and he died owing nearly $1.9 million, with no will. The royalties that cleared those debts arrived only after he was in the ground
So remember this, because it’s bigger than one singer and it will find you too. We spend our lives braced for the intruder at the door - the stranger, the danger we buy locks and guns to stop. And we hand the key to the person already inside. The partner we give signing power. The relative we put on the account. The parent we could never imagine fearing. The threat is almost never the one you prepared for. It’s the one you armed yourself, because they were family and surely not them
Marvin gave his father a home to live in, a gun to feel safe with, and the trust you hand only to blood. His father used all three the same afternoon. So before you spend another year protecting the people you love, ask the question Marvin never got to: the ones you’d never think to fear - are you sure they aren’t the only ones standing close enough to end you?
