All of that may well have been part of the problem: You being consistent with your takes “for years now” doesn’t mean that you were consistent in articulating what you were trying to say here, in this thread...

Insults aside, this synopsis is the first time in this thread that you actually clearly articulated your point. Up to here, I was with COMTNDRVR: You seemed to be all over the place with your takes. That aside:

If you’re not a “new car buyer” now, what you did every other year for over a decade doesn’t matter. I…

I definitely missed the bigger message that he is sending. Unless “I logged into Instagram to play myself” was his message; I caught that part. He was right the first 20 years when he was supposedly so happy with his life and secure with his bag that he didn’t say a word. Now he’s in the “open your mouth and remove…

Except Matt Barnes invited him on the pod as a reward for his emotional outburst and he turned down the opportunity... in another home video. So, who exactly didn’t want the smoke?

I agree with you: Kwame Brown is good at talking shit. And Rodman was good at DOING SHIT. How’s that working out for him right now? His…

If you say so. All I know from this whole saga is that he’s exceptionally good at logging into IG and shooting emotional videos.

I don’t think “slander” means what you think it means...

How is this weak? What Kwame Brown is mad at Matt Barnes for having a successful podcast... That’s not weak?

Arenas did all the talking. Barnes got dragged into Kwame Brown’s anguished cries for help just because he was in the room at the time. THAT’s the weakest part of all of this. All Matt Barnes did here was tell…

For example...

This is y’all king, now! Hahahahahaha! Kwame “fun at parties” Brown, ladies and gentlemen! Master of the Streisand Effect! 

Yeah, WE see that all right. Good luck sayin’ it with your chest for a guy whose last big game was the McDonald’s High School All-America game.

I think you’re either over-drawing conclusions or not entirely open to the possibility that the locals have made peace with his flaws. [Let me sidebar here and say that if you’re inclined to compare the impact and reach of The Replacements and Husker Du to the reach and impact of Prince, you’re probably over AND…

I’d need to see a clip of this Arsenio interview to hear him say that for himself. I guess what was on my mind when I wrote that was the producer of James Brown’s Star Time box set and his anecdote about Prince’s reaction to him working on it:

Are people doing that?

Or, on the other side of the coin, is Joss Whedon’s work so unimpeachable that it’s impossible that anyone disliked his work before the allegations came out?

I’m asking because I personally know people who were bummed out by the allegations, but also didn’t throw all their DVDs in the trash. And…

That movie was overrated from the jump...

And that’s before we get to the part where the outrage train NEVER seems to stop at John Lennon station unless Yoko Ono is involved...

How old is he right now? Because what you wrote TODAY is that you want Kwame Brown, TODAY, to have an opportunity to put hands on Michael Jordan - IN THE PRESENT TENSE - as much as you want Peace on Earth. And what I’m trying to get my head around is the idea that a podcast got Kwame Brown, The Root, you, and a whole…

What traction do you think it will get in the Twin Cities? And what traction do you think it should get? Prince died like five years ago. He’s got an entire discography full of bangers that are decades old. And he literally put the Twin Cities on the (entertainment) map. The only meaningful way to support Sinead…

True, but on the other other hand, how far back in history does one have to go to figure out that the Catholic Church has zero chill?

I LOVE that this is y’all king now. Still eatin’ Chik-Fil-A and shit...

Call me on Shaniqa’s phone.

Kwame Brown can’t invite anybody to be on his podcast. Why is that?
