Nahhhh lol definitely paved the way but leave Goat out when you got talents like Kobe, Kobe, Kobe

​@@iambversamusickobe is just a less efficient mj

Nothing has changed.

Can't do that w/ all of this beef & smoke amongst the black celebrities. All the black tycoons keep to themselves...

@@terrymaloka7153cause the next/current generation doesn’t care about helping they are for themselves

They still do it I’ve seen it myself personally

True that, still a lot of progress to be made. How ol' Bill Cosby doing though? Heard he had some legal troubles..

He has one

@@MiraxZorrowhat’s it called or most importantly where can I find it?

Word

Why? This younger generation could care less about the past! If you ask the younger generation who was Rosa Parks, Emmett Till, or the Black Panthers, NONE of them would know or even care!! SMDH! 😔

​@@michaeldevereux9208IT REALLY IS A SHAME ISN'T IT.

​@@michaeldevereux9208Damn, fr that's sad. What they tried to fight for their community completely took the opposite direction with this new generation and people be idolizing stupid a** rappers who only talk about guns, money, etc.

@@michaeldevereux9208Who doesn’t know who Black Panther is they made two movies about him.

@@michaeldevereux9208you gave up on the young generation that’s the issue right there. The young generation figured out a lot of you old heads don’t have knowledge and already given up on the youth. You’re the problem

yup

Damn. I’m from VA and I never knew that.

I never knew DOC went thru that-MESS-never knew.

I do. And he teamed with George Gervin.

whats Virginia

I said the Samething

@realfloxks_0637 ...Doc looks a lot like Jimi Hendrix!

❤god is good

you sir are🤡it is always bigger than basketball…✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

why the rage..

​@@vankai06 Be quiet.

​@@vankai06Respectfully.

It’s not so much the factors OUTSIDE of basketball which clearly were WAYYYY more crazy and hard than today, that’s a dumb take we ALL KNOW THAT. We’re talking the LEVEL of competition those days….. not to sound racist either but I GUARANTEE when they inter-grated most of the black athletes were CRUSHING THE NEW COMPETITION. It was easier back then, Jordan definitely had the rules changed for his benefit, the past is the past Old Head. This is the Present.

Unfortunately it will never die its been here in this country since this country was founded racism is taught an passed along to the next generation of racist peoples children an they pass their racist beliefs on to their children an so on an so on it just changes forms, it went from slavery to jim crow after slavery to the not so in your face racism it is today, but given the right opportunity it rears its head up in this country to let you know racism is still very much alive in this country, an alot of white people who aren't racist don't want to admit or recognize that it still effects black people in this country because it doesn't an has never effected them so they either don't notice or willfully over look it because they don't want to stir the pot an stand up for what is right which is part of the reason it will never go away in this country, but we are all going to stand before God an be judged for what we did an didn't do to make this world a better place to live in.

@@CharlesWilkinson-yc3dm yes even in the first century with the footstep followers of Jesus they had to fight prejudice. Peter learned a valuable lesson depicted in Acts 10:34 and it is a reminder for all of us who know God that due to our imperfection and the influence described at 1 John 5:19 we need to be unbiased . Today not only race and nationality but economic and politics divide humans, soon the words at Psalm 37:9-11 and 29 will receive fulfillment.

SAD and true

keep crying about nothing that'll help

@@samantharay6098 please shut up man. We dont need negativity like you in here. Why so worried about us

Bingo @jdagreat

​@@samantharay6098Disrespectfully, shut up.

Thats not totally true. You feel the southern hospitality down south no matter your color.

@@mohamedelmi5462 🤣 cause you totally speak for everyone 🤡

@@mohamedelmi546290% of the time "southern hospitality" = bare minimum decency and passive aggressiveness masked as being genuine.

@@hitthisloudgbeforeichangem5749black people LOVE to speak for everyone when it comes to the topic of racism….without befriending a single white person or even trying to for that matter… I’ve heard blacks claim they too afraid that a white person would be racist, that’s a racist thought to have! imagine thinking every white person is the same🤡 get out of the house every once in awhile you’ll see that’s not true, people can’t ever speak on racism without being racist themselves and then wanna act all victimized 🤡😂 pathetic, most of y’all got it better than me BY FAR

@@hitthisloudgbeforeichangem5749 lol, and you do? Keep pushing a narrative; I’m sure you’re not a loser on your own accord… 🤡

Andrew Toney !!!!

I still have all of my pictures and sneakers he signed for me over the years

Yup! TIL he showed up and started going coast to coast dunking on them heads in the NBA!

I remember seeing it in the theater. I loved Debbi Allen.

And who was making it difficult for them to make the world a better place separating something as small was a water fountain they weren't going up against an imaginary obstacle

I remember recording Shaqs college games. So when my friends came over. I could show them the future of the NBA.

Or them elders was concerned about what white people thought about them

Don't know where you were at..but baseball caps didn't become fashionable on NYC streets until about after 1980..the swat cap that was similar was before the baseball cap..and that was only worn in the winter to match your ski jacket..don't know where you was at back in the day but it wasn't NYC...it went from kangol & bucket hat to a baseball cap..and people was wearing they kangol backwards..that sideways baseball cap is late 80s..

The “honksters” don’t like to hear it because a lot of them weren’t born then and their parents were like 10 yet they’re talked down to as if they were turning on the water hose on people in the streets. That’s why they don’t like to hear it, they didn’t do it, their parents didn’t do it.

@@limitedbom2206you’re dumb if you think the hate and disgust for black people somehow vanished after slavery and segregation. For 100’s of years all these generations were thaught bad things about black people. Only 60 years ago white people were oke with segregation. white people don’t like accountability.

​@@limitedbom2206 🦝 & Honkster logic is always hilarious to me. Like racism died when their ancestors died? Or the fact you choose to be obtuse about how alive it is today? The fact honksters are working overtime to try & white wash their sins. Speaks volumes to how evil they are.

​@@limitedbom2206🦝 & Honkster logic is hilarious to me. Just skipped past the fact OP said its shameful & they benefit from it. Instead you wrote yourself as the victim lmfaoo! Really you're a victim because you refuse to acknowledge your history & culture of hatred and racism? That is still rampant till this day?

Like having to drink from a different water fountain? Wow so brave
