A black NBA player appeared to make a racial remark to a white NBA player after a hot confrontation during a game on Friday night while the players wore jerseys that had special social justice issues on their backs.
“LA Clippers ahead of Montrezl Harrell and Dallas Mavericks Slovenian star Luka Doncic arrived yesterday in a break that ended with Harrell calling Doncic a ‘b *** ha * s white boy’,” wrote Outkick columnist Gary Sheffield Jr. “The solution here is simple, even if many do not like it: the NBA must suspend Montrezl Harrell and send a message that race-based nonsense like his on the basketball court will not be tolerated. The NBA has already put this president on the court with gay sloppiness, why not with racist insults as well? “
Comments by Montrezl Harrell have already received a million calls ‘If the races were reversed’ on social media and there is no doubt that if Luka Montrezl had referred to Harrell as a ‘b **** a ** black boy’, that the condemnation on social media would have rained down from the sky on Luka, ‘Sheffield added. “In fact, Luka would probably be suspended for the rest of the season. He would be crushed, a social pariah in all sports. ”

Former NBA player and current ESPN host Jay Williams slammed Harrell for the alleged remark, noting that if Doncic said anything like that, it would be a big deal.
In a video posted on Twitter, Williams said:
I’m not a lip-reader, but damn, Trez, damn, Montrez. I can only imagine if Luka Doncic had such a thing for you, and it was recorded on tape. I can only imagine in the Black Lives Matter how much of a big deal that would have been, given the climate and the present time. It would have been a massive story. Luke would have lost all credibility in this space; everyone would comment on it. People would have asked LeBron about it, people would have asked her [another player] about it. Everyone would have had some sort of statement about it, but it’s not that big of a story because Trez said it to a Caucasian person.
It must be a big story, because it’s not acceptable, man. And lo, I’m a hooper, I’m talking trash, I’m cursing people. We can intervene on the nuances of whether that’s good or bad, but what you said, if you’ve raced in it – and I’ve told people this is back in the day during basketball scenarios and playing hoops in downtown, I found it then then still not acceptable. I do not find it acceptable now. Especially if cameras are on you 24/7. Get lost in your battle, man, but do not lose and say such things. You do not have to say such things, Trez. Make your achievements speak for themselves; you can talk trash in different ways. You do not have to say such things. Well, I’m not a lip reader, but I know what I saw came out of your mouth, man. We do not need that in today’s game, especially with everything we fight for as it relates to equality. Even if you get lost in your emotion, not acceptable. Not acceptable.
