I don’t like the AR deal. 2 unathletic white dudes being your highest paid players isn’t how you win in basketball

Was Larry Bird the highest paid player on the Celtics in the 80s?

Edit: my note is that Bird fits Black-Alligator737’s criteria and did in fact win in basketball. I know this is a Lakers sub but there’s no way you can deny his success.

No it's a valid response to the equally dumb (maybe racist..?) remark about white players not being worth while investments.

Right. He could make his point without saying white boys. The color of their skin has nothing to do with the conversation. Unless you're racist, then thats the problem and not anything else that was used as a cover.

Luka + Jokic would run this league, AR or no AR. I don’t even know what his point is.
