these type of posts make me sick...this is the most idiotic thing i have read... stop playing the race card... u are just trying to make a statement and causecontroversy.... u fail...... god..... the intelligence level of this post is probably at the level of myself... when i was unborn......quit trying to becool....

and btw... even chauncey billups said birdman was his favorite player.... even his daughters said the same thing... so hop off and ban urself

 

[vendetta]

Portland 74% White

I'm pretty sure we all went crazy for Ruben back in the day.

 

[misterp0315]

Nah. He's a character but comes off like a regular guy who made some mistakes and has his !$@% together now.

Plus...he's an energy player.

Pretty much.

 

[young halo]

i lightweight agree wit OP


no flamesuit needed

 

[ramzs8906]

OP IS....

 

[gunna get it]

even if they are rooting for him because he's white, who cares.

for all we know, they could be rooting for someone they relate too someone theyre familiar with, someone they share somethign in common with...

but its the same way all u dudes who never played or followed golf root for Tiger Woods, or how yall be pullin for Venus & Serena , so really whats thedifference?

 

[irishbaz]

I don't agree with the OP but I do think JR Smith needs to tone it down a bit if the nuggs are to win. He had a great game 4 but the series ant over yet sodon't behave like it is.

God shoes for birdman

Fixed

[wstcoastgotti]

boston loves scalabrine
Boston fans used to make fun of and taunt Scalabrine as early as this season.

Denver also loves JR Smith when he gets it rollin, so whats the difference?

Its not like many people in that crowd can relate to Birdman anyways b/c after being white, i think the similarities end there.

Hes a different cat and people love his hustle... straight up

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Being white does play a part however, people would love him no matter what because of how he plays.

He's white Ben Wallace IMO.

I think its funny how no one had commented on it.

 

[duba169]

yeah that made me crack up^


white people on NT are mad sensitive. There is obviously some truth to what the OP said... Especially with players like scalibrini and madesn

I mean dudes dressing like him, making signs and cut-outs. Just because he brings "energy" please!

Dude sticks out like a sore thumb on that team.

In a league dominated by African American Males you can't deny he gets put over that's the way it go's.

No Hate just sayin.

[de phx jose]

I don't even know why some of yall are offended.

yall acting like there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY they like him is because he's white.

y'all living in a dream world.

[dunkfan84]

he reminds me of dennis rodman..cuz the hair trends.

 

[mercutio]

Nope. They love him because he hustles, has a distinct look, and is an inspirational story.

 

[f3djam]

Birdman is involved in the 2 best things in the game (argueably). Swatting shots and dunking.
Being white probably helps. But its the swag...
