CJ Are the World

That's what I believe I posted. Gets weird though when you try to start grouping people into races.
I believe a person from France could be considered white, but are people from Spain? Or are they Latin? Ginobli looks white, but is he? I'm half Polish and half Mexican, but on all my documents from when I was born and growing up, my mom always put Hispanic.

You should tell your mom that officially "Hispanic" is an ethnicity, not a race. And I'm pretty sure you have to speak Spanish to qualify.

You're whitey-white-white dude.

Funny you should mention this, when we were all at BBF before the migration here, I started a thread asking the exact same thing. Could a team of white players win a gold medal in the Olympics.......I got fucking SUSPENDED FOR A WEEK!

Of course they could!

Fun fact, Jews have a natural advantage in basketball.

Fun fact, Jews have a natural advantage in basketball.

From the Say Something Nice About Meyers thread:

In elementary school, one day we had to play a similar game where you had to say something positive about someone else (I forget now how people got paired up). I just remember one kid saying about another, "You're short, which probably means you can run fast."

Everything about that answer was great, including the dubious science of it, so it's stuck with me.

From the article:

Moreover, he argued, Jews were rather short and so had “God-given better balance and speed.” Yep. There was a time when we thought being short was an advantage in the sport of basketball.

Apparently, my elementary school classmate that fateful day was none other than Paul Gallico, sports editor of the NY Daily News in the 1930s.

Beautiful pass by CJ!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

It would be pretty politically incorrect but I'd love to see what a "team white guys" vs "team black guys" would look like.

This seems relevant:

So it looks like Oladipo has a bit of a chip on his shoulder. I think he's going to have a pretty good year for a pretty shitty team.

How many half Mexicans does it take to screw in a light bulb???

The term white is a construct. The term was made up to separate blacks (another construct) from the Irish and Italians so that they could integrate. No one is white.

Yup. Race in general is a social construct--there's no good scientific definition for race.

Arms looking like he put about 10 lbs of lean muscle on his upper body.

...was going to say, he looks much bulkier! Hope that extra mass is a good thing

 

[Orion Bailey]

Is he on the Juice????

Doesn't seem to be bothering his shooting stroke any.

 

[theprunetang]

I'm calling it now. CJ with a 50/40/90 this season.

 

[dviss1]

I know you're not serious. But it looks natural. Like he could be listed at 205+.

He's just growing into his body. Even the commissioner is noticing. Listen to Adam Silver's first comments.

 

[theprunetang]

CJ SMASH!!!!

 

[THE HCP]

I'm not sure CJ bulking up would be a good thing. His weight this last season seemed perfect.

4....one to screw it in and then the 3 piece mariachi band to make it a party

I personally change pallor with the climate...have been mocha, pink, lobster red, copper toned and pale blue

Meh. It's natural. It's only like 5-10 lbs.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Yeah. I would hope he isnt. He is way too smart for that anyhow. He is a hard worker. I'm stoked for this coming season. I think he is going to be the guy the other teams cant get to now when Dame and Nurk are going inside out demanding double teams. CJ is gonna get the ball and like Prune said... SMASH!

I disagree. I don't think it will hurt his offense, but I think it will help his D. He wont be as easy to push around in the post and he wont be as easy to get around when he stands his ground. He is slightly taller than Dame, but still less bulky than Dame it looks like. I think he will flourish like never before with this increased muscle mass.

...sound/volume control should be in the lower right corner of the video player the sound is crucial for this because his driving is going off!
