    Harden's a pretty chill guy, doesn't seem like a public speaker to me.

    The cause is great, respect to him for using his platform to stand up for others, but man I can’t help but think in the back of my mind; the virus is ****ing rampant in LA.

    I don’t see how the NBA can resume any time soon if the players aren’t quarantining.

    she should’ve slapped her harder and left a palm indentation on the side of her face

    I’m always amused at how easily triggered these “go back to your country” idiots get over someone who’s different from them

    He damn well deserves to speak after all of the apparent vitriol that has been said to him at Utah games over the years. If I were ever at one of those games I would have some fun talking to their fans.

    Great cause, but please be safe Brodie. Don't catch the virus.

    Hope these racist Utah , Phoenix, and Minnesota fans get a short leash when fans can attend again.


    It's going to be ugly with players like WB if they allow racist Karen fans to talk crap like they have been

    You couldn't be more wrong. Get out more and quit listening to the media and other BS.

    I'm white and both me and my Native Houstonian(Black) Wife have lived in Utah for over 4 years, in a rural and very conservative part of Utah.

    I wanted to move back home(Texas) this past year, but guess who didn't? My black wife who hasn't lived anywhere outside of Houston until we moved to Utah. She loves it here, and within the first month she was amazed how nice people were here. Once again, I'm over a hour north of the liberal city of SLC. I'm a conservative dude, she is more apolitical. Our mixed kids have no issues in school here etc.. I could go on on and on.

    We went to both the home games here in SLC last year, wearing rockets gear... once again, no issues. You're looking for an issue that isn't there. Only thing we noticed is how much louder and more into the game they are. We've been to plenty of playoff games in the TC over the years and there is no comparison

    And the white karens are the ones into the BLM stuff, lol. You can have them.. Long post, but some people need to get out of moms basement more.

    Glad you, your wife and kids don't experience racism.

    Now, if only your personal anecdotes and experiences was true for every single Black person in this country and around the world.

    But, it's not.

    Good for you and your wife that there is zero racism in Utah and NBA players have never experienced racism in places like Utah, Phoenix, and Boston!!!

    I have one question.

    Does Nina Westbrook approve of the message?

    If Nina not worried why should Westbrook be worried. Just saying?
