    I don't think it's kosher for a white guy like Gumbel to talk this way.

    And Bryant Gumble doesn't have a dress code?

    It seems to me that Bryant Gumble has a deep seeded problem with the fact that the nba is just like any other business and the poor players, which he seems to view in a microscope of being only black, should be allowed to do whatever as long as they make millions for the greedy owners who use them as 'chattel'

    I just think that Gumble can only see the nba as a model for a plantation, which is a problem.

    So, what is the solution for Mr. Gumble, to only let white players be exploited? Of course not.

    It is to let the players do exactly what they want. Any perceived rules be placed on the players, as basic and fundamental as they might be, like a dress code, only perpetuates the notion that he pre-regards the nba as a plantation and stirs up the feelings that he must lash out at the system figure-head, David Stern.

    Loaded words like "Plantation" and "Boy" clouding the issue. I understand the sentiment but damn he went too far. Ratings Gold!

    The word "slave" gets thrown around like its a natural everyday thing...Millionaires cannot possibly be slaves... Anyone with a 9 to 5 cant possibly be slaves...Its a disgusting,unjustified mockery of the word.. Make your point but dont incorporate the word "slave" to do it... Its nowhere near the same
