Grant Hill’s Response to Jalen Rose

[yroholla]

Would it have been any better had Jalen said SOME of the black players in Duke were Uncle Toms as opposed to all? Lets be real here, he had to have met or heard of a couple "Uncle Toms" that went there but generalized it to say all of them were Uncle Toms...just sayin

I'm black, i understood and have stated i understood what jalen was saying and the age he said it at..bottom line it was still ignorant..whether your 18 or 38...it's an ignorant comment and doesnt just plague blacks but ignorances plagues our youth..that's my point...
and i seen the documentary, not hating on dude but like i said..I'm being real too by saying it was ignorant..i'm not given katz a past cuz he had a rough up bring..he was still playing ball for michigan and the last time i check'd that is a top division one school..it wasnt like the Fab Five was from an all black college...sorry no pass.....and i again i get where they were coming from.

you're acting as if Jalen Rose was criticizing the school Duke...he wasn't...he was criticizing the basketball program and it's methods of recruiting players... which is what most people seem to be missing...which is why he himself brought up the fact that Michigan is a top academic school as well...what is so hard to decipher about that

the people highlighted were team b niggaz though

and your photo is even sillier because grant hill was marketed to be the next mike.

like it or not all those so called team A niggaz were ridin g hill when he was supposed to be the next mike (who ironically was a team b nigga by your criteria)

i think you misunderstood what jalen was saying too.

jalen as a youth was confused as to why top talent from the inner youth wasnt considered for recruitment by duke.

and as an adult he shoulda been able to better assess the situation and place the blame where it belonged. on the duke coaches and recruiting staff.

but like a true crab in a bucket ass nigga, he attacked other fellow young black males trying to get ahead.

enny? point of motivation? or just plain grime jalen was wrong and even worse got played like a lil dancing monkey by espn who milked this bs fake controversy for ratings

misunderstood what he said? Ngga if the references in my post dont clue u in enough, i AM what he said lol

Like i said, its certain elements of black culture in the 90s that, if you dnt acknowledge or werent a part of, you CAN NOT possibly be of the same cloth as me, of Jalen Rose.

UNLV, GTown, Michigan caps...FAB 5, Hurraches. If you didnt respect that at the time you are team b. Less than 1% of NGGAS disliked the Fab 5.They were us! Nggas HATED Duke.

Only on the IC, when team B nggas go back and reconstruct history, do people question this shyt and the reasons for it

And Jordan was 'team b'? Mike came in the league gettin banned for his shoes, shut out by vets, bald head, tongue out, deemed 'too cocky', HE ROCKED A FUKIN GOLD CHAIN IN THE DUNK CONTEST

GTFOH Lmao Fab 5 wanted shorts LIKE JORDAN. Yall nggas is the worst. If ur too young to have lived that shyt, or just didnt experience it... Okay. But dont try to reconstruct history to a ngga who was bred by that shyt.

How can you look back and question shyt that birthed who u are today?

Answer: 'Im a team B ngga, and i never related to that shyt anway'

Chris Broussard is going in...

btw if you're white this is none of your concern...Skip Bayless should shut his face...

My goodness, to say I Co/sign doesnt say enough...Sheesh shyt is annoying

 

[S2J]

It's called striving to be man..just cuz you blk dont mean you gotta think your against the world..there's nigs in the ghetto trying to come out the ghetto...

it's not white to be educated and doing well for yourself...it's a goal for all man

I watch the cosby show and never paid attention to their jobs on the show, just thought the ish was funny.

BULLSHYT smh

My goodness. Ngga how old were you when the Cosby Show was on? Im 28, and i was no more than 11 or 12.

Yall r looking at a 1990s issue through the lens of 2011, when SOOOO much has changed.

Sure, NOW its easy to say 'cant we all just get along', but forget about the moment in time (Rodney King, Reginald Denny) that brought about that saying and ultimately the heeling.

It took controversial racial moments of the 90s, INCLUDING THE STORY OF THE FAB 5, for people like yourself to be comfortable to post like that.

Damn, Jalen Rose' pops was drafted #1 overall in the '67 NBA Draft & the last pick in ht e'67 NFL Draft

lol i think you a slave to your own mentality and marketing
you talkin to a nigga who lived through the eras u speak of and u def have an fucked up view on history.
jalen used uncle tom, when he meant to say suburban. at the time he did whats very common amongst stupid niggaz, trying to use phrases and sayings they dont quite understand.
his thought process was from a young rebelious standpoint where he wasn't fuckin with a place that obviously wanted no part of him because of his upbringing.
thats all good, but again he just worded it wrong.
and yes jordan and g hill were both team b niggaz by your criteria.
when grant hill got to the league he was a cocky flashy nigga too, the nigga was slated to take the reigns from mike as the next big marketing poster boy

clown niggaz are comical acting like its more than just entertainment and niggaz bein niggaz. some were bold enough to be themselves others were coo just goin with the flow.
props to the niggaz who switched shit up and did their own thing but these niggaz were no revolutionaries or folk heroes, they were just niggaz that sheep in the hood followed and could relate to and that made alot of other non "team b" niggaz rich
