It’s very clear why Jaylen Brown isn’t on team USA. Because he supports Palestine, he supported Kyrie, and he stood up to Nike and called them out because they said ethically. They couldn’t align with Kyrie any longer, and Jaylen Brown tweeted about them, saying when did Kyrie actually care about ethics which is very true
Jaylen brown youngest ever teach at Harvard an M.i.t Example media is litterly devil Caucasian dont go they Mark beast system not for Agenda they want they make up stuff about you use control over media Kyrie Irving spoke freedom of speech in America millions died for us to have that Rich Caucasian aka Europeans control system Team Usa own by Nike players need wake up stop signing to Nike sell player image,likeness,use same formula Jordan sold his image like record label when sign Artist own there masters which is there Music Nike do same exact thing buy there image so if its another Lebron sign to shoe deal he great Nike sign him create shoes sell shoes Jordan brand $4b in revenue Jordan sold his self to Nike for Money 💰 Nike sold his image to people how advertise use same structure Athletes dont sign nike would went out business 😂😂😂😂
Jalen brown want to be a black panther but he is Muslim and Islam = 1st reason of slavery of black people in history This is a own goal He is hypocrite , brown is a clown
Jaylen Brown is very similar to Kyrie Irving which is why he isn’t on Team USA. They both, to an extent share the same views. This year he has been more vocal as he ever been. Definitely deserved a spot
Instead of you getting more vocal, choose your battles. You should be able to sit with what ever decisions that come with you being vocal. Though he rich, he still a player, you do write checks, you still have a boss at the end of the day. I'm not advocating for what happened but just know when you get to the yapping, it may come with consequences and they they come don't comment, just stand your ground and roll with the punches
Bronny got snubbed by team USA not Jaylen Brown. Team USA would not be struggling if Bronny was out there playing for them. Anyone who disrespects Bronny and King James does not deserve to be on a basketball court
This was a very interesting conversation, i didnt know sneaker politics had such an influence on player selection for certain teams. I totally understand why Jaylen got the snub, because they dont want to give a brother like him, with so much intellect and who will call out B.S. a bigger platform to drop thought provoking ideas. Brothers like Jaylen Brown are a threat to the status quo and i wouldn't be surprised if they send a female to try and trip him up in some way or try to involve him in some sort of scandal that gives his image & reputation a severe hit. The brother is very smart so i hope hes very cautious out there.
Rashad...why to make an insightful, intellectually honest argument. Great job, good suff!!. More of these takes, less of that other stuff -- I feel like a 15th man, when you were a lottery pick.
@@KNByam true but thats no different than the avg american bro. the avg republican and democrat criticize the country but they dont wanna leave the country. lol
I’ve been telling ppl about this about why Brown was snubbed. He thinks and speaks his mind and they don’t like it. Same thing with Kyrie. If you don’t fall in line, you’re out.
I truly enjoyed this conversation!! Very insightful... players being controlled by sponsors certainly jeopardizes the integrity of the sport altogether. honestly, it's par for the course in our society...but that doesn't mean it has to always be. 😎 keep fighting for what's right!!
Halliburton is their best true pg. Brown not on the team is crazy, he better than booker, I’d take his offense over holiday’s defense, and it’s a couple other players I’d take him over
Remember Gill this is my ideas...I want to see the first high profile kid to wear one Adidas and one Nike on each foot...meaning wear mix match shoes and don't accept a shoe contact unless they both make you a signature shoe at the same time and sign a contract with both Adidas and Nike...you'll make history and y'all don't say they can't do it, money can make damn near anything happen, look at Bron Bron. And whoever make this deal happen I just want 2% of the deal.
I'm sorry I'm taking that Nike deal,you get a signature collection you good for life ( Jordan, Dion, Barkley, Griffey, LeBron, KD etc)no other brand can do that.
@@DamianAntonio4126 man Reebok got back with Iverson a few years ago. He literally was in court talking about I can't afford a cheese burger. And that new deal isn't big anyway. Besides the 1st Iverson no one wears the other one's besides ice from jpb.
@@DamianAntonio4126 Messi and Wade shoes don't sell no where near the one's I mentioned. Messi still playing also. When you got a Nike signature line you payed for ever. Jordan sells more sneakers then all of adidas. That's a part of Nike . You see
Thank you McCants. Let them know the truth behind the disrespect. Brown is a high-key genius. Very intelligent and articulate. When he sided with Kyrie Nike corporate had it out for him and so did the owner of the Nets. If there is ANYBODY you want on team USA, as the face of the nation, it's the damn MVP of the NBA finals. They are eff'n with what they can control. They are "trying" to embarrass him. I would have newfound respect for Tatum if he left the team in solidarity with his running mate.
Nike is a billionaire company because of four NBA players (Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Mr. Durant (Kevin), and Kyrie Irving). The post Kyrie Irving posted was not enough to cancel his Nike sneakers contract because before the post Shaquille O'Neal showed the actual movie at his theater in Florida for months.
@@TheBirdman25fya You're the only one loud and wrong! Nike has an annual revenue report please review it from the beginning, and ask Shaquille O'Neal about past movies at his theater.
Don’t ever forget that they made Kyrie do a checklist and get on his knees to apologize for posting a video link. JJ reddick said a slur towards Asian people and the NBA swept it under the rug, gave a bs apology, was never covered by the media, & had to do nothing.
realest convo about the business of basketball (from Olympics to McDonald's All American) that I've heard. What they're describing is a corporatocracy - where corporations have increasing sway over matters that compromises the integrity of said matter. US politics and gov't is the most evident example of that
The fact that team USA is bought and owned by Nike is actually disgusting. Let's not take the shoe companies out of it, just take their decision making completely off the table.
He never should have disrespected the GOAT and future GOAT. If Jaylen Brown would have been honest and given Bronny his flowers, maybe he would have a chance at team USA but he put the nail in his coffin when he was on camera capping about Bronny
Dope segment. Hopefully Gil will do a reaction to this clip on his personal livestream. This is a subject that that doesn’t get talked abt enough. Wat we’re seeing in Jalen Brown is exposing a lot of conflict in the moneymaking part of the sport. Brings up a few questions for me: how has the star player and the players association affected the league, and when did that shift start to begin…? I saw somewhere that Billy Hunter was working on creating a bank with the player’s association. Is it true that Kobe was shopping his shoe, and was potentially taking the mamba brand away from Nike? And is it true that whatever his next shoe move was, it was going to be owned by the player’s association. Again, hopefully we can get a reaction piece on an upcoming livestream - as a fan of the league, a true hooper and now a basketball dad. Keep doin ya thing. 💪🏿💪🏿
I'm glad Rashad is on here, he told the truth with the Jalen Brown, Kyrie situation. Jalen also support, played for The Big 3 and the NBA is beefing with them.
HS kids shouldn't even set the McDonald's All American game as a goal or measuring stick after they selected Bronny as a McDonald's All American because they clearly sold out and picked a name over talent and loss all credibility
It was funny reading comments on different social media sites talking about why JB was not selected for the team, so many brain dead comments 🤣🤣 It is refreshing to hear the people with actual behind the scene info speak on the situation, give such great insight on how the mega corps actually operate
Tell you what, JB made great use of his spare time! Him and Taco Fall made history for themselves. How often do nba players make pilgrimages together? 😊
The all star game should be Nike vs adidas. Or Nike vs everyone else. Or a mini game tournament between all the companies. Winner gets to sponsor the Olympics.
I am on Jaylen Brown side but at the same time I also am sceptical as to why Nike USA basketball are leaving him off. If you think about it he will Nike shoes and block the logo which is very disrespectful to any brand and no brand would want their players disrespecting them on a global scale at the Olympics in such a way and if they can’t get past that as an issue, then Jaylen becomes the problem which he clearly is at some level
if you look at offense AND defense, picking curry over him or anyone else is where i knew that they dont care about picking the best for the tournament. the only reason he is there is to pad his international stats for his hall of fame resume and it is obvious.
embiid is atrocious. has had loaded roster around him but underperforms past game 82. nobody with an iq above 40 wants to "start a franchise" with a soft, injury prone regular season tryhard who is solely dependent on ref whistle.
Yesterdays game showed why they picked White. He attempted 1 shot, had 0 points, but still greatly impacted the game with defense and playmaking. He doesn’t take away from anyone around him. He finished with the highest +/- of any bench player.
