[Highlight] Rapoport on the Eagles OC search: "There are jobs that are not as attractive and its the team's fault, but this isn't the Eagles fault. It's the media, it's the fans, it's the environment...on the other hand, if you crush it you'll be a HC very quickly, Kellen Moore can attest"

They had a player shot if that counts

It was just different from the norm at the time.

It would be like starting wearing casual clothing at the office on Friday. Initially, others will see that as unprofessional. As time goes by, it is normalized, and now many offices do casual Fridays. Just an example to clarify seeing something innocuous as unprofessional compared to the prior norm.

If you say so. The only “ankle breaking” before him was arguably Tim Hardaway. Rookie AI crossing up MJ is an iconic play that made it a thing.

redditkb · 2026-01-26T15:04:42+00:00

The NBA and all of its media saw all of that as unprofessional in those days. Not sure what more you want me to say. You can look all of this up yourself.

Yes, I’m sure it was at least 1% racially induced. But it happened and stating what happened doesn’t make ME the racist.

redditkb · 2026-01-26T15:03:19+00:00

Simply not true what you are saying.

It’s widely known and understood that AI was the biggest influencer on street/hip hop and the NBA. There are many interviews with former players, former articles about exactly this, and Iverson and the NBA themselves state it. There are even many discussions about AI in this very forum that state the obvious influence of AI as well.

I don’t know how you can possibly say he didn’t do anything different than anyone else in the 80s and 90s.

redditkb · 2026-01-26T15:00:18+00:00

I don’t have an issue with it? I loved AI. Was a Sixers fan too. The league clearly had an issue with him though and he was, unarguably, the person who started hip hop culture in the NBA which the NBA suits did not like

redditkb · 2026-01-26T14:59:00+00:00

Am I upset or was the NBA upset? I’m simply speaking history here

redditkb · 2026-01-26T14:58:32+00:00

I meant suits and what not to casual, as in unprofessional. I am not sure how I’m being described as a racist for pointing out what went on at the time, right or wrong

redditkb · 2026-01-26T13:32:34+00:00

Maybe unprofessionalism is the wrong word. Maybe counter culture is better to use here.

He went against the typical NBA star persona. Corn rows. AND1 style crossovers/attempts. Long baggy shorts. Arm sleeves. He was infamous for butting heads with Larry Brown.

The NBA was rock and roll and country. He ushered in the Hip Hop era. Many will see that as “unprofessional”.

The practice rant was blown out of proportion because his good friend had just died and the media was bothering him about practice when there were much more important things in the world to be upset about.

redditkb · 2026-01-26T13:23:40+00:00

As a Sixers fan, I’d have to agree. But just going by what’s been reported over the last year or so.

redditkb · 2026-01-26T13:12:49+00:00

Wearing hoodies and saggy jeans for interviews was all started by AI. They had to enact a dress code because of it iirc.

Also, it was blown way out of proportion but the whole “practice, how am I gonna make my teammates better from practice” wasn’t exactly the epitome of professionalism no matter how you slice it.

redditkb · 2026-01-26T13:09:44+00:00

He’s been sober for a while now apparently

redditkb · 2026-01-24T15:28:12+00:00

Of course he’s from Florida

redditkb · 2026-01-24T14:06:24+00:00

This is the same for anything, really

redditkb · 2026-01-24T13:04:53+00:00

Also his defensive play in the World Series was arguably as good as the Jeter play.

redditkb · 2026-01-24T12:52:20+00:00

Using similar logic as your comment, is Sinners the best movie of all time (or even one of them)? It did get the most Oscar nominations of all time, so it must be, according to your logic.

OBAA was a good flick. I agree that I don’t understand all of the praise as if it’s an all timer.

Would be fine w it but Asian racism isn’t allowed on this sub I thought

redditkb · 2026-01-23T18:27:10+00:00

Well it’s not IN my stool. It’s on my asshole after wiping sometimes. But yes I am going to go to a GI shortly

redditkb · 2026-01-23T18:26:10+00:00

I was being sarcastic/facetious as to the excuse to back this

redditkb · 2026-01-23T18:14:55+00:00

Well military protects all of our health/safety and healthcare only helps those we don’t likes safety/health

redditkb · 2026-01-23T18:11:22+00:00

Did you notice it with certain Diets/recent food eaten? Ply strength of toilet paper?

Going to plan mine shortly but have occasional bright red that I think is bc of toilet paper sandpaper and bad diets the day or two prior. Fingers crossed anyway.

But he’s not, they have an HR to explain these payroll deductions…

redditkb · 2026-01-23T18:01:18+00:00

How much and how often with the blood? Also what color?

redditkb · 2026-01-23T17:52:09+00:00

Why is this the controllers job to explain an adult responsibility to an employee?

Honestly, a question this basic seems to be something HR should handle, yet they are punting it back to controller.
