White House claims the video depicting Obamas as monkeys is from “an internet meme” where Trump is the King of the Jungle and Democrats are “characters from the Lion King”

Trump’s reposting of a video superimposing the Obamas’ faces on apes is undisguised racist. MAGA, when will you admit you voted for the wrong person?

Was Dirk’s 2011 playoff run the BEST ever? He beat B. Roy & Aldridge, Kobe & Pau (Bynum), KD, Russ & Harden, and the Miami superteam w/ Bron, Wade & Bosh — w/ ZERO All-NBA teammates. EIGHT Hall of Famers. Avg. 26.0 PPG • 9.7 RPG • 52/46/94 splits

I can’t bite my tongue anymore. The way the Dallas Mavericks organization has acted since the trade has been disgusting, disrespectful,immature and unprofessional. Dorrough? Awesome. Sean Heath? The man. Putting up a hype video that was shot for the playoff run last year before regular season game 57 while sitting in the 8th seed, and going out of your way to use an elementary level video edit to take out Luka Dončić is so, so embarrassing and petty. Couple that with a shirt being released at tonight’s game with the slogan, “Ride till Death Do Us Part” is insane. I understand the shirt is part of collab, and was agreed to months in advance. Given the circumstances, you simply pay the brand for those shirts, and you scrap them from the release. Did the Mavs have blemishes with the past regime? More than a few, but they always tried to find a way to make it right, or at the very least limit the damage. With this new regime, somehow, someway, they continue to dig theirselves into a PR hole. The reality is, the Mavericks have 3 outsiders in charge of running the organization now. They haven’t been here, they don’t know the culture, and most importantly, they do not care about the fans. I refuse to believe there are employees in the organization that don’t see the PR nightmare we are watching before our eyes. My fear is that they are scared for their jobs and afraid to say “maybe that’s not a good idea.” We saw a glimpse of this with how the Mavs treated fans after the trade by kicking fans out if any non - Mavs positive views were expressed. If the fans are getting that treatment, I can’t imagine what the employees are going through. An idea for the Mavs, although highly unlikely due to egos, would be to make a Mavs small council. The council would be made up of 10 - 20 fans that went through an application process. You would not be an employee of the team, but rather a voice outside the org that can speak freely about the pulse of the fan base. Any moves involving the roster would not be a topic, but anything having to do with media releases, and how fans may receive it would be the main job of the council. These would not be “yes” men/women. Tonight’s game? Flexed out of a national tv spot. Christmas Day games going forward? Unless against the Lakers, probably not a thing anymore. Season ticket prices? Likely to go up again after a substantial increase in price last year with less perks and a smaller merch discount. it’s safe to say the MFFL era, an era that was not perfect, but provided a great experience most of the time, is dead.
