Consistent, clear communication should be the hallmark of any government or civic project. This school facilities plan process has not been that. Council demands a seat at the table. Our constituents need answers, so do we.

The district plans to close 17 schools beginning in 2027. But members of the City Council say they plan to keep fighting the proposal. chalkbeat.org/philadelphia/2…

Reading some of these national takes on the Sixers and it's clear a lot of people didn't watch the Sixers last season and have no clue how Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe are wired.

Surprised at how much is being made over a report that Nick Nurse will have LeBron James play point guard. Yes, of course. That's why you get LeBron James.

Allen Iverson was more famous than Kobe for like 3-4 years.....then once China and Lebron rehabilitated his image during the 2008 Olympics....Kobe became a global icon...something Allen Iverson never became

@NoMoreMatrix @george22443 Simply Google search looking at 2003, 2004 and 2005 and you can see outside of Ron Artest it’s Kobe. I’m not even going to get into the race dynamics that were taking place at that time. No hate… all facts.

@candidateTHOMAS @george22443 For you not to be a Kobe hater. You're fighting tooth and nail trying to throw dirt on his name. I've already addressed that in previous posts. And please don't call your opinions facts. That's loser shit

I’m with Rich Paul on this one. Shaq was popular and well known but Iverson influenced cultural. Kobe was extremely unpopular at several points during his career before the back to back championships and shouldn’t be included in this conversation.
NBA Courtside@NBA__Courtside

Rich Paul believes Allen Iverson was a bigger superstar than Kobe Bryant and Shaq: “Who did people rather be like? Kobe or Allen Iverson? — Allen Iverson brought all these things to the NBA. People wanted to dress like who? He had white American wearing cornrows and headbands!” (Via Game Over)

@Ajaytwentyone Do you know the story behind how he got clemency? I think that helps my case… but it happened before the NBA which is why I didn’t bring it up.

@candidateTHOMAS Inversion was arrested in high school and convicted of a felony before getting clemency by governor, this allowed him to get the scholarship from GT and be mentored by John Thompson jr. So mentioning Kobe's legal issues without mentioning AI's is wack.

@NoMoreMatrix @george22443 It’s a well known fact that Kobe was the most unpopular player in the NBA at this time for so many reasons 🤷🏿‍♂️

@candidateTHOMAS @george22443 I'm highlighting an example of the media making you bow down when you cross one of theirs. Shaq was under no legal pressure so it doesn't matter. None of this negates anything I've said about his popularity with fans at the time which is what this is about. Anything else?...

@borrachoestamos I think that proves the point around the global icon Kobe was… no argument from me there… but I don’t think it shows his impact on American culture especially in the early 2000s.

@candidateTHOMAS Watching the 2008 Beijing Olympics opening ceremony really puts it into perspective. Kobe was arguably the most popular athlete in China, and he was sharing the stage with Messi, Phelps, Federer, and so many other global icons. Rich Paul is crazy.

@NoMoreMatrix @george22443 That’s a terrible example for so many reasons. For starters, one apology has to do with basketball and the other apology is based on statements that came from a serious court case. Legit no comparison!

@candidateTHOMAS @george22443 What's so hard to understand? I gave you an example of this happening before when the media decides that you've offended one of their favorites. And Shaq was most definitely a media favorite.
