Kyle Lowry of the Toronto Raptors was shoved by privileged white billionaire. The billionaire wasn't charged with a crime. |
Toronto Raptors and the Golden State Warriors are in the NBA Finals. The Warriors are hoping to secure a fifth championship. The Raptors are hoping to score their first title in the franchise history.
So far, the Raptors haven't went down like punks, yet. They are up in the series 2 games to 1.
The Warriors are without their top player Kevin Durant and it's been seen throughout the game.
Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Dreymond Green need that extra arm of support in order to finish the series. But given that the Splash Bros are struggling through the series, T-DOT is lit.
The largest city in Canada is hoping to make a mark on NBA. The Eastern Conference Champions have been getting very good these last four years. Matter of fact, they gave the Cleveland Cavaliers the runs during the King James time.
Enter point guard and top shooter Kyle Lowry. The Toronto Raptors have Lowry, Jeremy Lin, Leonard Kawhi and Malcolm Miller. They are on pace to winning the series if Game 4 is in their favor.
Tonight's game is on ABC and the Raptors and Warriors will duke it out.
One person who will not have an opportunity to watch is Mark Stevens. This is a billioniare who is minority owner and investor for the Warriors. He is the co-owner of Sequoia Capital in Menlo Park.
He was ejected from Oracle Arena after he verbally assaulted and initiated a physical altercation with Lowry. He was banned from the finals and had a year long ban from the NBA. He also had to shelve out $500,000 for the incident.
No arrests were made during the altercation.
Lowry had did his presser and had to address this. He also had to tell the public that his sons have to face a reality where folks like this exist. The incident made people of color think.
Had it been the other way around, Lowry would have been suspended and sacked from the Raptors.
He would have been arrested and criminally charged. He would have been fined by the California courts and NBA for the whole encounter. He would be forever known like Ron Artest (aka Metta World Peace) who went into the stands to confront a white guy who threw a drink at him.
This type of behavior is typical of white people and Black athletes. They instigate fights with the players and then cry when they get a karma moment.
Lowry is above the fray. Thankfully. He could have served that asshole a hot plate.
The fan who shoved Lowry in Game 3 was a venture capitalist. A privileged white man who felt the need to put his hands on a Black man. Mind you, he's the guy who buys companies piles on debt and forces the company to go out business when they can't pay the debt.
