@patbev21 Pat Beverley after losing the series but making sure JA didn’t get 47 😂

Now we are being called weird for spreading the word of God 🤦🏽‍♂️

@survivalmanna @Clayd28 As soon as they start doing growth stuff yall will then say it’s being gentrified and then be mad at that smh.

What you said @Clayd28 . I like Nashville, but folks need to be informed as to why growth and development have occurred among the cities in the state of Tennessee over the last 20 years.

@NBAMyke Why do yall keep throwing Nashville in it lol just fix what need to be fixed in Memphis. We got a few players who never even played a pro nba game here staying here. But focus on Memphis that’s the problem mad at everybody else but don’t want to work on yall on self

i hope mike has a good word with his friend lebron and let him knows he’s wrong for saying what he said. mike miller played for seven teams (including orlando, miami, and denver), zach randolph played for five (including new york and los angeles), tony allen played for three (including boston), and tayshaun prince played for four (including boston)… and somehow, they all chose to live where after retiring? joakim noah said he loved being here, matt barnes said he loved being here, vince carter said he loved being here… multiple guys who played in countless of the “big cities” and markets who, as millionaires, chose this city as their home… not LA, not miami, not orlando, not boston… sure as hell not nashville… MEMPHIS.

@GregWaz24 @MikeHerndonSk1 If I was talking about places I would absolutely not want to live at with co workers or other people talking about my job that’s my opinion

@DPinkston14 @MikeHerndonSk1 Oh so is the point of your work trip to work or eat dinner at a restaurant? It’s to work. And if you’re demanding your company stops doing business in a city because it’s not entertaining enough for you then you’d be an entitled brat. Just like LeBron.

Would love to know what LeBron would do in Nashville on a random Thursday. He’s surely not going out on Broadway or dealing with obnoxious college kids in Midtown, so do we think he’s an East Nashville hipster? 12 South hipster? My guess? Arrington Vineyards.

@GregWaz24 @MikeHerndonSk1 If I’m on the work trip and I don’t gotta work 24hrs from the time I arrive do you think ima be in the hotel the entire time?? No lol teams actually go out to eat and places

@DPinkston14 @MikeHerndonSk1 Isn’t his job to play basketball. Isn’t that what he’s supposed to be doing in any city he’s in? Pampered entitled and arrogant is how this comes off.

@locowithdough @xolliexo And pride and ego will always be anyone’s down fall

@xolliexo @DPinkston14 Memphis fell for everything already, bad bad bad city. Y’all got pride though😂😂

@xolliexo I understand you, but man we gotta sometimes look At ourself and see what we need to do to change.

@DPinkston14 It’s not for everybody to understand. Stand for something or fall for anything.

@1Lemaar @Real_JPIII @MLVNPRDY Bro who are you talking about steve Harvey wife or his wife daughter? And no celebs just moves and lives in Memphis if they haven’t already lived there or have ties to Memphis

@DPinkston14 @Real_JPIII @MLVNPRDY It’s because her parents live in the city and they bought a house in the city. Just like other professional athletes, notable people, and actors that call this area home.

And these NBA players do not be in Nashville like that except for Grizzlies and Bulls training camps that one year. They just wanna go there and fuck some white girls im like you can go around the corner from your house and do that 😂😂😂

NBA players don't have a lot of complaints about heavily Black locations like: Atlanta New Orleans Chicago Detroit D,C. Houston Philly Brooklyn or even Milwaukee... It's Memphis. This is not rich Black athletes being anti-Black. A more nuanced discussion is needed here.

Gilbert Arenas agrees with LeBron on Memphis and says if NBA players could pick where they was drafted from, the players that was born in Memphis wouldn’t pick Memphis: “This is just to everybody in Memphis that’s upset and say you forget where you came from. NO, WE KNOW WHERE WE CAME FROM AND WE KNOW WHERE WE WANT TO GO. YOU THINK THIS is Memphis and another bunch of cities? You think basketball players are training every day to get out the hood to go to WHAT CITIES? WHO’S OUR IDOLS? ARE YOU THINKING HOW A basketball player think? Who’s our idols? Who are we growing up wanting to be in life? MICHAEL JORDAN, big city. Kobe Bryant, big city. Bird, Magic, big city. SO, EVERY NBA PLAYER COMING TO THE DRAFT, YOU WANT TO be in the big city. Because we know the big city gets the big promotion, gets the bigger contract, get the big shoe contract. That is what happens. Unfortunately, there’s other cities in between that has a chance to pick us. YES WE’RE EXCITED THAT WE GOT DRAFTED IN the NBA and whatever city takes a chance on us, obviously we’re going to hold it down.” (Via @NoChillGilZero)

@OGbuckjoe @KillaKreww All the nba players have basically violated Memphis but yall only mad at bron.

@DPinkston14 @KillaKreww He ain’t disrespect Memphis tho lebron dissed the city

Stephen A Smith GOES OFF on LeBron James about his comments on Memphis and the Grizzlies with a “bunch of white boys around him” 😳👀 “It’s a bunch of white dudes on a golf course knowing the camera rolling and videoing you without any regard for what kinda effect that would have on the Black populace.”

@carnepierre199 Do they not do 50% anymore?

Incoming comments “ you must be down a lot to be getting $2,000 deposit match “ 😂

@SymoneBeez That’s everybody down here in Nashville quick getaway right there gatlinburg lol

I'm not a big fan of Memphis or Nashville. Gatlinburg is where the real fun is in Tennessee lol

@1Lemaar @Real_JPIII @MLVNPRDY That’s cause that’s steve Harvey’s wife home town…..

@DPinkston14 @Real_JPIII @MLVNPRDY Memphis isn’t his vibe, but there are scores of athletes and celebrities that have selected to have a home in Memphis or one of its suburbs. Steve Harvey’s wife had some trees cut down that were obstructing her view of the river.

@Trogers901 @staciemontero Would kinda make sense for Tatum to be there he’s from St. Louis so he probably use to go to Memphis a lot growing up

@DPinkston14 @staciemontero Mike Miller. Rudy Gay is here a lot but don't know if he has a home here. Jayson Tatum is here a ton in the off-season. Penny Hardaway never left. Katt Williams lives just outside of Memphis.

Y’all want us to cut slack for visiting NBA millionaires who complain about staying in a Hyatt but think that guys like TA, ZBo, Rudy, Mike, Marc and the entire Gasol family’s voice shouldn’t carry more weight when discussing living in Memphis? With NBA pedigree? Oh ok

Don’t let the pressure of the World stop you from praising Jesus, whoever denies him in front of others, he will deny in front of the Father who is In heaven.

@WillLewis_1976 @MattLeinartQB Jacksonville not far from a beach either and other great places let be surprised if anyone said Jacksonville

@MattLeinartQB I have to laugh at all the people saying Jacksonville. Florida has no state income tax. Players will tolerate a WHOLE lot from the city in order to save a ton of money. 😂

Seems like there’s a consensus that Memphis is the least desirable city for players to go… What is the equivalent for the NFL??

@Romellz_ And that’s why I don’t see Memphis changing anytime soon we don’t look In the mirror and start with us and if you agree with LeBron you anti-black now 😂🤦🏽‍♂️ instead of trying to improve the city the mad at everybody but themselves

@DPinkston14 Bruh the shit insane they shooting everybody else calling Bron a Coon, saying Nashville trash, instead of taking the criticism and bettering the city. 😑

I ain’t never seen this many upset people from Memphis in my life 🤣
