Always cracks me up when the Celtics are up 20 and put 4 or 5 white dudes on the court to rub it in

I had some dangerous thoughts when Hauser got 2 stops on Luka when he came in ngl

The funniest thing about this is that I’m not even sure he said that tongue-in-cheek. It was just a matter-of-fact statement.

Sam Hauser surprisingly did well guarding Luka. Did not need help at all.

Hauser quietly fist pumping in the corner after that shout out.
Seriously though – Hauser is a very good defender against larger wings. He’s not unathletic but he can’t hang with quicker/smaller guards. But his size is a huge advantage that will go a long way against Luka. Being able to throw your 8th man at Luka for a few plays a game is massive.

he just meant Derrick, guys

Genuinely was convinced Guillermo was going to guard Luka at some point last night

OK, but can any of them jump?

The comedy from his statement comes from the Larry Bird days when he’d be upset if he was guarded by a white player. It’s funny by itself, and the “is this racist?” angle goes away if you know it’s a nod to Larry. I think it shows that Jrue is a true celtic.

“Even our black guys pass”
That sounds weird right?

White guys that defend and black guys that can shoot. They’re tough to beat.
jetpack_operation
lmao he said it so deadpan too
edit – lol white dudes crying about a black dude saying something like this about his friends/teammates is pretty funny. i’m not black or white, so let me just say it doesn’t quite have the same oomph without the context of black people systematically oppressing white people for generations in this country behind it and leave it at that.

And even the black guys can shoot

time for the same people who spent all week calling me a white supremacist to cry uncontrollably about how much jrue hates white people or whatever

Even the players in Boston are racist.

Kills me that the Bucks pretty much gave this guy away. He’s the missing piece and the Celts are going to win easily

It’s not racist if it’s mean towards white people.

I don’t have any problem with Jrue making this joke, but it’s amusing how this comment is brushed off by the same people who act like it’s a hate crime to compliment an athlete on being well spoken.

Yeah they got some of the good ones

That was racist

Luka still got 30. Need Kyrie to have a better game though.

More racism against luka and it’s so casual and just out there.

I didn’t know white people didn’t guard LMAO this is educational for me

Cool casual racism

I know this is just a joke but this sort of casual racism has always bugged me. We’ve seen some really great white defenders and some really bad black defenders. Honestly, the ratio is probably the same for each race there are just way more black dudes in the NBA. I really wish we’d collectively get over this sort of thinking

I’m guessing this is a joke that people say in the basketball community and probably shouldn’t have been said to the media. It’s pretty common in sports cultures to have stereotypes based on race and culture.

Everyone else in 2024: People are more than just their skin colour and we need to stop being racist.

How does racism just happen and no one bats an eye? Mention black or any other race as a response and you’ll be called racist. Bring up race like they are different people or are bad at something, as long as it’s white it’s a ok
>b-b-b-but we’re being racist to everyone in the comments!!11 so its fair!
You can’t say shit publically against any race except white. Let everyone bring up race on TV or none at all
