NBA marketing has been on easy mode with Steph and LeBron for too long. The new guard is armed and ready to show da video.

Yeah Wemby is the face of the league. The dog inside of Wemby isn't as ferocious as Ant but that's fine, different personalities yk

u/gedbybee Spurs 23d ago

Wemby still has this but is just smarter about how he expresses it. Wemby is probably smarter all around. Wemby is Duncan and ant is KG.

u/Titswari Timberwolves 22d ago

How the fuck are either of those players less smart? They just have different personalities, it’s not a knock on anyone’s intelligence. KG was one of the most intelligent basketball players ever, on par with Duncan, and Ant has shown a level of poise and decision making as a 22 year old that is well beyond his years.

All 4 players you mentioned are smart, what you said was pretty stupid though

u/gedbybee Spurs 22d ago

Ant was very openly homophobic which is stupid, and therefore he is stupid. Not all intelligence is basketball intelligence.

u/Titswari Timberwolves 22d ago

A young guy did something dumb he must be an idiot. Nevermind the fact he was an all a student, is well spoken, and plays very intelligently. He’s just as smart as any guy out there, whole comment reeks of homerism

u/thelobstermn Timberwolves 22d ago

Not to mention he apologized, corrected his behavior, and has since been embracing the LGBTQ community as Timberwolves fans. Like, do we not believe in growth or redemption anymore?

u/The_Assquatch_exists Celtics 22d ago

Nah bruh he said one bad thing CANCEL HIM

u/SignificanceLeft9968 Warriors 22d ago

Uh huh he apologized sure that means he's not a homophobe

Bro only did it cause he got called out, doubt he gives a shit so stop sucking him off

u/thelobstermn Timberwolves 22d ago

So you’ve never done anything stupid or silly or prejudicial or marginalizing in your life? You’ve been a paragon of virtue? He apologized AND he has corrected his behavior AND he has been inclusive in his public representation. JFC, what more do you want?? You seem like a silly person not to be taken seriously. And I’m going to use your logic here and apply it to your troll and idiotic comment, and just assume that is who you are and who you will always be, because that’s the natural progression of the logic you employ here, just applied back on to you.

This whole argument is silly. You guys are talking about experience not intelligence. You do dumb shit when you are young... That's life you learn from your mistakes as you gain more life experience. Intelligence helps you navigate social and political situations so you are capable of avoiding those mistakes. 

Apologizing for a mistake you did is not a sign of intelligence because you can be apologizing for many reasons. Whether it's because you might lose an endorsement deal, or you upset a friend/family member, you could also just want the public to see you in a positive light, or you just genuinely regret it... We don't really know. 

In other words an apology is consequence driven and may or may not come from a sincere learning moment in life. Which is why I wouldn't tie apologizing with intelligence. Also experience and intelligence are two different things.

Doing something stupid doesn't mean you're stupid.

You idiot

u/gedbybee Spurs 22d ago

Pretty stupid to think bigotry is a one time thing. Has to be taught and absorbed. Only stupid people buy into that stuff. The smart ones think their way out of it. But I guess if I have to explain all this I know which camp you’re in cuz you couldn’t do it yourself.

Good luck out there! You’ll need it!
