Social Controversy over ESPN article on Jokic that some label racist

[GoldenWolf87]

I wasn't surprised by the racist article that one of ESPN author.
Had posted earlier this week.

What i am surprised off is how ESPN is actually tolerating it.
Balkan Slavs and Slavs in general are actually minorities.

The fact that this went with their approval to pose the racist article.
There are many sites talking about this even MMA ones.

This is another reason i can not stand ESPN.

Yikes. From the article:

In March, Kendrick Perkins, the former NBA player turned television analyst, committed the unpardonable sin of suggesting that racism played a role in Jokić being pushed for a third consecutive MVP title. Perkins mentioned stat padding, but the comment that put him in hot water was that racism — Great White Hope-ism — contributed to Jokić’s elevation. Perkins’ assessment was not entirely wrong, and the intense pushback he received was evidence that Perkins pricked a familiar nerve of race and racism in the United States.

So if you challenge an incorrect stance, you're proving it right. Just lmao. This guy is a hack.

ESPN is the biggest woke/racist POS content out there, I'm not surprised.

Yep, can't be that Jokic is just that good. Obviously whites aren't allowed to be good at basketball.

This is coming from a lifelong Bucks fan who absolutely loves Giannis.

Jokic was notch better this season. I hate to say it but it's true and Giannis could have won the MVP for about 4 years in a row

How about some LITERAL stat padding for the defensive player of the year this year. Memphis Center Jaren Jackson was given extra blocks & steals at home games this year from Memphis' stat person.

of course, the article has ridiculous strawmen:

My issue is not with proclamations of Jokić’s greatness but with the premature coronation of Jokić as the greatest ever, the greatest of all time, the best center the NBA has ever seen — the best of all time.

“Of all time” encompasses a vast universe and can only be assessed at the end of a career. There are many more miles to travel before Jokić sits atop Mount Everest with the greatest of all time.
​

i've never seen a single reference to goat wrt jokic. so yeah, no shit.

The beautiful thing about the internet is that there is always a group of people saying some ridiculous shit.

I’m sure he can find some morons posting that on Facebook or Twitter (people who aren’t even huge basketball fans) and so he can defend his shitty journalism by pulling up the most fringe opinion.

"Perkins assessment was not entirely wrong."

ESPN literally had to correct his statement live on the air, for being entirely wrong.

Unintentional irony at its best.

The other day JJ said that Jokic was better than Shaq or something to that extent.

Who claims he's the best center of all time. He's the best center in the league though.
