Three year contract for Jason Kidd.
I'm sure he'll retire before then, but still.

Boston is a racist city yet the Celtics were the first team to start five black players , though.
What does one have to do with the other exactly? In Eastern Europe, you have fans shouting monkey noises and throwing bananas at black soccer players that play for their teams, but I guess that doesn't mean they're racist because after all those black players do actually play there.
I can't remember what documentary it was exactly, but I've seen an interview with Cedric Maxwell talking about the Celtics in the 80s. The amount of racial undertones in the Lakers-Celtics rivalry of the 80s was staggering. This wasn't the time of slavery or segregation, but of Michael Jackson and Eddie Murphy - the friggin 80s.

The Red Sox were the last team to integrate to add on.

So I guess I'll ask the same question : what does what happened in the 80's have to do with happens in the 21st century. It's common knowledge Boston is perceived as a racist city and possibly rightfully so; all I was saying is that I've never experienced it (granted I grew up/reside in a black neighborhood) and I don't at all think it's relevant as to whether or not Ray comes back to Boston. David Ortiz and Paul Pierce are Gods in Boston.
Walk down the street and no one is going to call you a %$!+#! or throw slurs at you . No one is going to look at you sideways because of the color of your skin. No one is going to deny you a job in Boston bc youre black. Can you say the same for certain areas in the South?
Cedric Maxwell loves Boston FTR.

How many of those people were actually from Boston, though ? Bruins fan =\= resident of Boston. The Bruins are huge I would bet majority of them were from Western Massachusetts and New Hampshire. And it's hockey, bro. 90% of the people who play hockey have no contact with black people, ever. What can you expect? Pretty poor example.

He scored 50 points in ATL off the bench. He shot 40% last year. And I'm pretty sure any contender could use his production. Like I said, you have to take the ball handling responsibilities away from him, so he cant just decide when he wants to shoot. I think with a facilitating point guard he can be a pretty deadly weapon

You're right. I wouldn't expect any Bruins fans actually being from Boston.

Jamal Crawford signs with the Clippers, three years-$15.7 million.
Chauncey Billups re-signs with the Clippers, one year-up to $4.3 million.

Maybe y'all are right. My judgement is obviously clouded due to the fact I've been able to do decent for myself in Boston and have never felt any kind of oppression. And no black people at Fenway? I've never met a black dude hyped to go to a baseball game around my way. No black dude wants to overpay to sit in those old, stiff !+# chairs to watch a game we can watch on NESN at the crib
Another poor example. A lot f white people in Boston ? Yes. Blacks being oppressed in Boston? No.
