    Spoken like someone who is rational and never been near poor from birth, but stepping on egg shells to maintain his "black card"
    I agree with that take. Rivers isn’t talking for the celebrity players and is going to get shit for his upbringing but Doc Rivers came from nothing and the NBA made them generationally wealthy. Appreciate what you have and help others in need seems to be the point.

    Duke basketball is all about the education. Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett, and Cam Reddish all got their Duke degrees in one semester. Prove me wrong!

    In Austin River's case it's his half-black card and not that it matters but his girlfriend is white. The horror of growing up the half-black son of an NBA player and living in an upper class white neighborhood. I can't imagine the troubles a kid with a famous NBA player Dad would have in a school where NBA players are generally worshipped. I wouldn't be surprised if some small old white lady once asked him to get something off the top shelf at the grocery store. Nothing says systemic racism like that. What a bunch of poseurs and useful idiots.

    Participants of an obviously racially discriminatory profession complaining about systemic racism is funny.

    NBA is 75% black!? As a systematically abused white man in America, that percentage is way too high and reflects the bias that has held white males off the court for decades, and has torn this great nation apart!

    OK so since only race matters all professional sports must be manned/womened by the percentages of population by race.

    Gonna be some big changes!
