Ernie Johnson announces that the Timberwolves-Warriors game, which was scheduled as part of the ABC tripleheader, has been postponed by the NBA after Saturday’s shooting in Minneapolis. Charles Barkley: “Somebody’s gotta step up and be adults… 2 people have died for no reason, & it’s just sad.”

  4. Really wish they spoke up more.  Just saying “you can see what happened online, sad” is severely underselling it.

  6. who is this magical “somebody” ppl talk about? chuck you are rich as fuck, could you be the somebody? there is no magical somebody coming people, we only have each other, together we can do something, alone we fail

  8. Well, 2 people killed, numerous people beat up and arrested, to make sure a certain snowflake gets to live out his power fantasy.

  9. Remember the pre text they used to send in ICE was to make America safer by capturing illegal aliens.

    Sure doesn’t feel like Minnesota is safer with ICE killing two citizens.

  10. For tomorrow? Bring it all to a halt. No one should show up. Let them play in an empty arena. Don’t let capitalism distract you from what’s going on.

  11. Remember folks. The mods here have been deleting threads until the league and Ernie talks about it.

    They’re not your friends or allies.

  12. More than two have died. Then, to say they died for no reason is missing the point. They died because they were trying to document the heartless and illegal actions of federal agents terrorizing, kidnapping, deporting, and in some cases killing, immigrants. Adults are standing up all over this country, saying enough is enough to ICE, border patrol, and the current administration. But that other side is run by and supported by narcissistic criminals that will just keep doing this over and over until they’ve rid this country of most non-white people and those that oppose them.

    I’m tired of everyone being too precious or afraid to state the truth and still try to act like this is a both sides issue

  13. This will not be played tomorrow. 

    Any thought of playing this game tomorrow will magnify the moment of today.  The powers that be will not want this game to serve as a rallying cry and tinder box.

    NBA is gonna be the catalyst for nation wide action again, despite Adam Silver succumbing to all things generally suck. This game delay brought to you by Draft Kings. Now,  here is Kevin Hart and LeBron. Enjoy 

  17. “Somebody” – Treating that motherfucker like he’s Voldemort. Call him out by name.

  18. I’m surprised ESPN isn’t advertising a prop bet for date of the next murder. Kids remember to take your ozempic!

  19. I just wish they’d use stronger language around this. Ice are murdering American citizens in the streets. Conservatives never shut up about the constitution and Alex was exercising his 1st and 2nd amendment rights and they fucking mobbed and murder him for those 2 reasons. You don’t have a country anymore, call it out! Say it with strong words. You’re under an authoritarian regime. This fuckin world man

  21. I’m pretty sure we can count on Trump, Vance, Miller, and Noem to step up and be adults and tell their Special Police SS force to tone it down. Good luck with that fantasy.

  23. #They executed a man for exercising his constitutional rights

    They had already removed his gun from his holster before they killed him

  24. I don’t know how people can even enjoy a game when its 24/7 horror being stuck in a fascist country.

  25. What a lukewarm rebuke of a horrible state of affairs. I’m certainly not satisfied. All 4 of these hosts should say “We condemn ICE and the conduct of the Federal Government. This is an assault on the American people by their own government.”

  26. Fuck ICE… Good decision by the NBA, this bullshit in this country cannot continue. I’m sick rn

  27. They shot and killed a VA nurse. Not once did he attempt to unholster his pistol (legally carrying) during the encounter. It was only when he was pinned down by ICE was his gun removed by them, then he was executed. He was attempting to protect two women ICE were shoving and tried using himself as a shield.

  28. shaq can go fuck himself. he’s just as guilty as the other bootlickers who supported a second term of this corruption.

  29. Thank you NBA and specifically Charles Barkley. Alex was my son and ICE murdered him while he was trying to protect a woman whom ICE just knocked down and was pepper spraying. He has his phone in his right hand and his left hand is empty and above his head when ICE attacked him. Video doesn’t lie. ICE does!

  31. Guys, your country is a joke and you are being taken for fools by the government. It’s literally becoming Nazi Germany in front of your eyes. Get up off your asses and do something FFS. Mind boggling how this was allowed to happen but not time like the present. Come on – the world is counting on you
