its democracy, just like you had the right to vote for that disgrace of a human being, they have the right to decline an invite to the whitehouse

the thing is you complain to the point of being aggressive and violent if anyone criticizes your decision, so why dont you practice what you preach and stfu

or if you want to call the warriors dumbasses for their decision, then dont get upset when we call you dumbasses for your decision

Priceless.

This is what makes America great and the most respected and powerful Country in the World.. The one Country that all others turn to for help and need when shiiit hits the fan, America is the one Country that fuels the entire world economy also..

That's my take anyways..

i couldn't give two shits if i met any of these presidents. Jibby they shit the same way we do. Stop being mesmerized by other men for goodness sakes.

**Thor4140** · 06-13-17, 07:21 PM

Jibby always spouting off about fake news serves up a a dish full.

Presidents come and go, but the white house is historic and there is a history there.. I don't expect you to understand this Thor because you don't give a shiiit.. You are self absorbed and just care about your own little world but yet you do live and enjoy being in this Country...

I don't care personally for many of the Presidents or politicians but if I see one or few that seem to want to better America then I'm on board with that.. I think Trump is trying to make America great again.. Dip shits on the left aren't giving him a chance like you so far...

they make money from you tuning in, so you are their target audience

even if you dont go to games, they make more money from tv rights than they do from ticket sales, so the term target audience fits you better than it fits the people that go to the games

so, thank you for playing, stevie

The problem here is your reading comprehension skills are on a fifth grade level.

The operative word here is 'target'
In this case the word 'target' means to make one influenced by an event.
I don't go out of my way to watch the NBA, I'm not being influenced to watch, I am not a target.
Believe me, if there was anything more compelling on TV I wouldn't be tuning in, I did not go out of my way to watch that series.
I don't go out of my way to watch any NBA regular season game either.

Now if you want to say I am a MLB target, then yeah, NBA no.

Now go brush up on those reading comprehension skills. (or lack of thereof)

I would only go if they changed the name to The Yellow House.

Is it possible to have a love of your country when you don't love all those who live in it?

Give me a scientist who cured a disease and i will gladly meet them. I have no need to be in the same room as a politician. Jibby i know u get excited when u meet a celebrity. A couple of years before i worked at the job I am at, that asshole from the jersey shore show came to my work. I know you would have been weak at the knees. WTF was his name? This asshole had instructions that nobody that worked here could have eye contact with him lol. I wish i was here at the time. Jibby i could see you staring down at the ground when this douhebag came into the room. Does "The Situation" or some shit like that sound right? Fukin clown.

Here's the thing about The Situation though, and I am not arguing what you just had to say, he was the only one in that ensemble with a half a brain.

He knew he had only 15 minutes of fame, and he knew a little about marketing, he made some money off of that Jersey Shore character of his.

The rest wound up in jail for a bit, or got knocked up, or whatever, The Situation used the money he got from that crap and invested it.
He's doing OK from what I hear.

**Jayvegas420** · 06-13-17, 08:21 PM

I'd rather be Steve Nash than the Situation

**nyplayer33** · 06-13-17, 08:23 PM

U can win all tournies..champs..but if u r black..you never will be equal to white..ever.

**nyplayer33** · 06-13-17, 08:24 PM

Kids of players don't belong in photo..ghetto bs.

**marcoloco** · 06-13-17, 08:29 PM

why do pro sports teams do this anyway? seems like a waste of presidents time...but then again, when has politics ever cared about wasted resources.

I live in LA, California Thor in a good area and I've seen and or met more celebrities/athletes in my lifetime then most and am never star struck.. I yawn and get bored.. If there is a week that goes by that I don't see a celebrity then I am surprised just put it that way..

Just because a person is famous in film or sports doesn't make them better then you or i, doesn't make them smarter or more informed either.. In fact they probably have more personal problems then most. It's lonely at the top as the saying goes..

The famous Hollywood bubble of celebrities are out of touch with the real world which is disturbing because they carry such a loud voice and large following...

Upper Class? Give me a break just because they have millions does not make them classy. If these guys couldn't dribble a basketball they would all be crack dealers or some other type of ganster wanna be trash. They are uneducated idiots that are good at basketball. They are far from being upper class though.

Show me an NBA player without tats and chances are he paid attention in college, got good grades, is smart and classy...

**Shute** · 06-13-17, 08:44 PM

Sick of the BS. Prez invites you to his house you attend; you are an American First; you are a democrat, republican, independent, Green Party, tea party, libertarian, etc. second.

Do u feel he deserves no eye contact when he is doing a function? This clown? Maybe Tyson in his prime could make me look the other way but not this asshole.

Just so we are on the same page, it was he who did not give you eye contact?
If so, that's bush.
I met Jeter and Jason Sehorn when he was with the NY Giants at Joe's Pub in NYC one night.
I went over to Jeter just to say hi, this was like 1998 I think, he looked right down at the floor, totally ice.
No eye contact, nothing.
Sehorn was pretty cool, Jeter, total jackass.

If you are in the public eye, and you are at a music gig and don't want that, than stay the fuk home.

Trump is rich and shows no class but cant play basketball and we know people of his ilk are the real gangsters.

Odd that you'd state this considering Trump is/was one of these celebrities. Not to mention how out of touch most if not all of the 1%, he's probably in the 0.01%, are in this country. What's disturbing about them is the loud voice (a.k.a. Lobbyists) they have in their corner writing laws and regulations to benefit them, not the folks in the other 99%.

NO no. My boss told me that was a condition he laid out when he came here. I work at a casino. He told the head of marketing that nobody that works here should have eye contact with him. There was one more and i think it was Kathy Griffin lol.

**CWD** · 06-13-17, 09:44 PM

# 1 the article says they deny having made the decision not that they have declined, as the post reads

# 2 they have not even been invited

why waste everyones time with this post?

same people complaining about fake news are now posting it here

**dlowilly** · 06-13-17, 09:48 PM

Everyone thinks the other side is corrupt, unfair, stupid, etc.

We just need to separate. Trump supporters, conservatives, and reasonable independents in one country. Democrats, illegals, blacks, social justice warriors (sportsmushroom, thor4140, etc.) in another. Whoever is thriving after 100 years gets to take over the others' land and kick the losers into the ocean. I give the latter group about 5 years until they are all begging to switch over or at least for a seaworthy boat

Trump was never in that celebrity bubble, he worked with contractors and mingled always with public Joes his entire life.

Do your Trump research before posting please.. Trump did mingle with politicians always, Clintons as well back in the day.. Trump was a Democrat like myself for the longest time when the party was legit...

You obviously haven't been to a game in quite some time. Ticket prices are out the roof in the NBA. They are having huge success all over the world, not just the US. Their TV ratings have shattered older numbers as people are watching in record amounts. Season tickets here in Houston are ~ $60k each for good seats.

The NBA's target audience today is "affluent". They're not catering to the poor.

I can't tell another man what they should sit or stand up for but I've always felt the only way to voice your concerns is to have a seat at the table. What better way then at the White House? I'm really surprised this would come out so soon and I would hope they would reconsider but it's their choice. I respect anyone's choice no matter how bad I think it is.

Thats true enough,went once to a Raptors game,wouldnt go again.

**nyplayer33** · 06-13-17, 10:30 PM

Wake up..athletes care about themselves...blacks cry aboutvwhites..who btw support nba more then anybidy. Ghetto bs...rather watch golf

**nyplayer33** · 06-13-17, 10:33 PM

Ticket prices are crazy..and it's people in this thread who go to games. There is no sport that matters to me...horse racing a bit..key word bit. I can watch fox news and other cap n care less. You idiots in thread pay 35 bucks to park for a game..lol

Your asking ghetto blks to act civil..curry with his towel over his head like a schmuck..n that mouth guard chewing like downs syndrome. Guess what..you can be a trillionare...but as a.black u will.never equal whites..just like LeBron graffiti think in la...
