I like Brown's answers a lot. He is totally right. It deserves attention, it can't be ignored. Racism is much more than racial slurs.

But turning it in a game matter may even turn against the cause it highlights.

Good job Brown.

Jaylen is too Smart to fall for Kyrie's crap.

Such a great response from Jaylen.  Jaylen wasn’t buying into the Kyrie broad brush crap.

Very thoughtful statement from Jaylen as always. Thought he was spot on with everything. Didn't take away from the scourge of racism that many folks face every day, far more than the catcalls in a basketball game, while managing to make Kyrie look petty, insecure and self-serving at the same time  :police:
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

Spot on.

I said this a couple of years ago, but I suspect the reason Kyrie and Jaylen were rumoured to have not got on when Kyrie was in Boston was that Kyrie was intimidated by Jaylen's actual intelligence and that he saw through the pseudo intellectual act Kyrie puts on.

I'm pretty sure we've all faked something in our lives at some point or another and there's nothing worse than, when you do, that feeling you get about someone and suspect "they're on to me".

Yeh look, I don't think I'd really get along with a flat earther either :')

Like, legit. Sorry, but, just, that'd be difficult.
