  • [BORU] Regarding the anti-Kobe bias on this sub

    Regarding the anti-Kobe bias on this sub

    We all know about it, and we all see it. It's obvious. Nobody ever wants to admit it, but it's there.

    People on this subreddit hate Kobe Bryant.

    The first question to ask: why? Why do you all hate him? The obvious answer: you didn't watch him in his prime.

    Likely explanation: I know that most of you are around 14 or 15 years old. That means you only got into basketball in the last couple years. So you never watched Mamba in his prime.

    And because you didn't watch him in his prime, you try to compensate for that by diving into stat sheets and analyzing box scores. But here's the thing: basketball isn't played on Excel spreadsheets. The moment somebody brings up "true shooting percentage" or "win shares" I know they know nothing about basketball.

    Kobe's game cannot be encapsulated by one stat. He's the second greatest SG ever, and one of the 5 best players to ever play the game.

    So when I hear somebody say that LeBron James is better than Kobe Bryant, I laugh, because I know that anybody who watched Kobe in his prime wouldn't think that. Unlike you guys, I have watched basketball for a significant amount of time, so I know that Kobe is better.

    You might be jealous of Kobe's five rings, or jealous of his status as the greatest scorer in NBA history, or whatever. Unless you're a Bulls fan who watched basketball in the 90s, or a Lakers fan who watched basketball in the 2000s, you don't know what real, cold-blooded, killer instinct, will-to-win basketball looks like. And there's nothing wrong with that.

    This sub would make you think that Kobe isn't even a top 100 player ever.

    So don't go spouting bullshit about players you didn't watch. Talk about your "greats" like LeBron James The Best Player in the World™, but leave the Kobe talk to the adults. Fair?

    Captive Labor: Exploitation of Incarcerated Workers | ACLU
    www.aclu.org Captive Labor: Exploitation of Incarcerated Workers | ACLU

    We examined the injustices of prison labor nationwide — and lay the foundation for a more equitable path forward.

    Captive Labor: Exploitation of Incarcerated Workers | ACLU

    Any Country that mandates that Prisoners work for little or no pay while incarcerated is supporting institutionalized Slavery.

    I'm putting the ACLU argument forward as the Pro position as it is very well written and touches on all the points that I would simply be restating.

    Have fun!
