The sad thing is that a basketball star has to help raise up a community & fund a public school, food pantry, & GED program instead of the government who should bare the responsibility across the nation & not just in middle class+ communities.
On a side note the "cheating" seems to be something practiced in multiple sports & likely a taught behavior to get extra time back, penalty shots etc in baseball, soccer, basketball & many more sports. Football teams run out the clock or kneel out a win all the time instead of going all in. I think this is a problem across sports with teams, players & coaches playing the rule book more than the game. #imo #opinion #philanthropy #sports #community
I definitely agree that the school system needs to be fixed. There is far too much variation based on socioeconomic status.
There are supposed to be rules in place to punish flopping but sadly they are rarely enforced. I hope they figure out a way to deter it because it is terrible to watch elite athletes flop.
