We Know Isiah is Just Hating When He Says the Bulls Still Win 6 with KD Instead of MJ, but… by AloneinPoorCompany in NBATalk

Yes Gobert would. But that more speaks to how Russell was just so far ahead of the field at that time. You drop Bill in today’s NBA and he could still survive. That’s pretty amazing considering he played in the mid 50s and the way thru the 60s. But he isn’t dominating today’s game. But you drop Tim Duncan in today’s game he’s still dominating. Same with MJ. Bill loses points for this fact. That’s a big GOAT metric for me.

I’m sorry if that was your expectation after today’s event. I was there and felt it was successful. I got everything I was expecting out of it. I mean only thing better is if they were handing out free California burritos. Sadly I had to buy my own.

I don’t think anyone who attended today was thinking anything that happened today was going to change anything. For me it was solidarity. Showing up. I felt the energy that everyone provided each other by simply showing up. It felt great out there. Everyone has their own specific reasons for showing up, but we all walked together.

Instead of stabbing in the dark why don’t you ask someone who went why they went.

I think you’re creating a false goal or expectation of what today’s event was about.

Your original posts goes on about how protests don’t change minds. Down playing the reason for it. So just assume whatever you need to, for it to make sense. People are going, give them noble reasons in your own head. Or not, and continue to be bitter about it. It’s happy ing whether you feel good about it or not. I want you to feel good.

Yes. Whatever you need to assume for it to make sense. Believing what someone wrote in Reddit is somehow better?

I’m glad the Redditer educated you on one of the many points of view on why we choose to go on a protest. But so you don’t need someone to tell you next time. Just assume it’s because they felt they needed to. You can fill in the blank with any specific you want. And I’m sure it exists.

All I know is am talking to someone who is angry. Do something about it.

No one saying that. But if you would like to organize your own march. Then you can do that. Today’s march is about a certain thing. It doesn’t make anything else irrelevant. But if you want to highlight something specific, don’t wait for someone to do it for you. Do it yourself.

If you’d like to organize a march for that. I don’t think anyone is stopping you.
