Steve Adams Calls Warriors Monkeys

Steve Adams called Curry and Thompson "quick little monkeys" in a post interview, and the quickly apologized, claiming he's still assimilating to the culture of the United States...wow

 

[THE HCP]

Whatever! Don't blow this shit up. Cultures ARE different. I bet his teammates who know him didn't think twice about it.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

This sucks. There was likely 0% malicious intent in this comment.

 

[THE HCP]

It fucking kills me when people try to make shit more than what it is.

TRUE STORY- Blazers in Phoenix 2 seasons ago. Players out on the court shooting around about 5pm. Coach Vanterpool sit s next to me and we start talking about how the game will go later that night. Im talking about how the Morris twins react on pick n roll situations and I use the term, "Morris Boys"........ as I say this, that ass hat Jabari Young from CSN walks by, stops, looks at me and with the dirtiest tone and face says, "YOU aren't allowed to say that!" I say, "Say what?" He says, "YOUR people aren't allowed to say the word boys!"

Let me tell you that The HCP was heated! It took all my strength not to call him out big time on that. Just another fool in this world trying to stir up shit!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I get what you are saying on don't make this too big of a deal @HCP but what you said before and what Adams said are two very different things.

Cultures are very different but that doesn't also let you become ignorant when coming to the melting pot here. He apologized though so I agree to drop it. If he hadn't though then this WOULD be a big deal. And should be in that case.

 

[Mediocre Man]

So many jokes to make, but I don't want dviss to hate me again.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

They're primates right? Just like monkeys. White people are primates too, except the rare coastal marzool.

Seriously though, the Morris twins do act like little shits, boys. No racism intended, they need to grow the fuck up.

 

[Sinobas]

Such a stupid comment. Steph and Klay are only half-monkey at most.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Seriously though, everyone has heard that phrase before. So if it popped in his head in an interview and he just let it go without realizing it I don't see the big deal.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Have you ever chased a monkey? Maybe Steven Adams has, and maybe it's an apt comparison.

And race has nothing to do with it, and if you think it does, then fuck you.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Monkeys are harder to catch than chickens IMO.

 

[crandc]

Insensitive, but probably no malice, he realized, he apologized, end of story.

[riverman]

nobody takes offense to the Damian fish jokes

I didn't even make the connection until people complained about it.

Check your privilege white boy!

 

[drexlersdad]

they should howard cosell him.

I immediately thought of Cosell when I heard this.

 

[drexlersdad]

as would anyone old enough to remember him id guess

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

Steven Adams is at least half Maori. I can guarantee you he knows what discrimination is. And I can almost as certainly guarantee you he meant absolutely nothing by his comments. If he had called them "quick little bastards", would he have been roasted by that segment of society whose mothers never married their fathers??? It's a freakin' expression and nothing more. What a crock of horseshit. Move on folks, nothing to see here.....

[ripcityboy]

Dis he also mention that Andrew Bogut looks like a shaved Hill Troll...... is that racist? I'm sorry.

IMO you should have laid into him for being a racist ass hat.

HCP should have said "what do you mean, YOU PEOPLE?"

Tell Jabari to fuck off. Sounds familiar though, at least in the OT forum. :kappa:

HCP has the George Zimmerman problem, he became white when he did/said something someone didn't like. It looks like Adams has that problem too, he isn't Maori anymore, he's just white. I need to watch what I say or I'll become full white too.
