I went to college at K-State while Josh Freeman was there. We were playing his team in intramurals my senior year. Josh was a freak athlete and was a really good basketball player in high school. I am 5'10 and am strictly a spot up 3 point master. Josh was on a fast break and I was the only one back on defense. It was…
I've been dunked on several times and they were all during my sophomore year of high school and all by the same person. I was on the JV team at a private school in Fort Lauderdale. We had a few guys on the varsity team who were on scholarship and were insanely talented. Then the rest of the team was filled out by us…
Despite years and years of playing basketball, I had never been the best athlete. I was always tall so despite my relative lack of athleticism, I was able to dunk with relative ease, but it was never anything worth getting excited about. However, one day that was all about to change.
In college at South Carolina I was playing basketball at the gym on campus when Sidney Rice and some other football players claimed "next." My team won and it was time for a good old-fashioned honkey bloodletting. On the very first possession, Sidney dunked on me, then swung his junk right into my face, literally…
Summer, 2014: In a competitive local league that attracts considerable talent, I am one of a couple of guys shouldering the worst team in the top level. We're a joke, but for a few occasional instances where myself or the other primary scorer were left alone on the perimeter. Per usual, we are being manhandled, but…
I haven't been dunked on, but I got chase down blocked from behind by a little Brazilian kid (we called him Brazil....because obvious). This kid could jump out of the gym. Probably 5'8" but could dunk.
Jason Giambi is retiring. At age 44, the slugger announced yesterday that his gradual disappearance from the…
I'm surprised she knows what a pass is considering she's been married to Kobe Bryant for all these years.
Malone: Give me your best shot, Kobe
Dude I'm totally convinced. Thank you for showing me that Johnny Storm doesn't count because you said so.
I don't get the point of changing the races of people just for the sake of changing the race and making that define them.
The biggest issue I'd imagine is Spider Man is a pretty mainstream hero and even regular Joe knows that he is (usually) Peter Parker. Going with an alternate universe character feels like the general audience would be thrown for a loop (and sadly not the good kind). Would almost be the equivalent if the new Batman…
gotta be Parker.
Forcing an established character to take on another race just because that race doesn't feel represented enough is simply undermining both races.
No thanks I prefer the usual Caucasian Peter Parker and I believe Marvel will follow through with that as well.
As a black man that loves Spidey (fav superhero forever) and LOVES Miles Morales (thanks to Bendis), I'm not for this. It's unnecessary for the MCU. the idea of introducing a Spidey with some experience to a bigger universe is enough. And I like Peter too and would like to see him done right for once on the big…
What a horrible idea! Black-washing is ridiculous and offensive.
As a black-cuban male: The premise of this article is condescension incarnate and its frankly disgusting.
NO.
Miles Morales would be cool for Spiderman, but you can't replace good 'ol petey. He is the one and only spiderman.
