Murphy and Khalid Green’s </span><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/up-next/id1534338992?i=1000494096644" style="color: #0563c1; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">Up
Next</a><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;"> podcast, former Arizona and Xavier assistant basketball coach, Emanuel
“Book” Richardson speaks candidly on his role in the FBI/college basketball
recruiting scandal that took down four assistant coaches, while letting the
head coaches at those universities off the hook, criminally.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">In an article last year for <a href="https://theundefeated.com/features/black-assistant-coaches-were-scapegoats-in-the-ncaa-recruiting-trials/" style="color: #0563c1;">The
Undefeated</a>, Murphy described how the entire investigation effectively
scapegoated Black assistant coaches and low level sneaker company employees.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">During the Up Next podcast, Richardson rehashes the trauma
he endured during and after his arrest by the FBI. They burst into his house at
“6AM with battering rams,” and Richardson “was a mess, I was in tears, I was
hurt, I was crying. I don’t wake up past 6AM ever in fear that at least I’ll be
ready if they come this time.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Richardson stated “in a 36-month span you lose everything,
you lose your family, you lose your wife, you lose your career.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">As far as the crime that he pleaded guilty to, Richardson
still doesn’t know what he did wrong. “Let me know what I did,” he said, “I
didn’t see who I bribed, I also didn’t see who I harmed.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">“No kid was ever hurt,” Richardson continued, “when you say

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Finally, Richardson talks about his battles with depression,
including thoughts of suicide, since the recruiting scandal. “Am I just
perishable? Am I the dude that you just throw away? [The NCAA] want me to go
away, they want me to wither, they want me to die. And I’m telling you, I’ve
felt like that at times. Why don’t I just die, just put a gun in [my] mouth and
pull the trigger.”</p>

Oh, yes.”<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Zarba’s words proved prophetic. Yesterday’s Game 1s had at least normal playoff intensity and they again had the feel of NCAA Tournament games, with the uniform neutral courts and the sports fans’ dream: games starting at 1:30PM eastern time and ending just before midnight.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">The first game of an NBA playoff series is usually the tone setter, maybe even more so now based on the condensed end of the regular season. Here are some thoughts from yesterday:<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b>Jazz/Nuggets<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b> </b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Coming into the series, it seemed obvious that the current iteration of the Jazz was strikingly similar to their playoff teams the last couple years. Without Bojan Bogdanovic (wrist) and Mike Conley (paternity leave) it would again depend on Donovan Mitchell to do everything and more on the offensive end.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Mitchell did that yesterday, dropping 57 points to go with 9 rebounds and 7 assists, but even that was not enough. Denver is just too talented and deep to let one man beat them.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Jamal Murray put on a show of his own, with 36 points, 9 assists and 5 rebounds.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">He and Mitchell are similar in that many fans and prognosticators are hesitant to put them in the up-and-coming superstar category, but my bet is these two will continue to force their way into that category.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Denver’s Michael Porter Jr., struggled a bit in his first playoff game. He scored 13 points on 5/13 shooting, but did grab 8 rebounds in 31 minutes. Welcome to the playoffs, young man.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b>Net/Raptors<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b> </b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">There’s really not much to say about this one. The Nets are overmatched. They have a team resembling a G-League squad, thanks to many of their best players missing from the bubble. The Nets play hard and could sneak up on a team less prepared or less scrappy, but Toronto is not that team. The Raptors play just as hard, pay as much attention to detail and just happen to have much better players at the moment.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Fred VanVleet had a monster game with 30 points and 11 assists.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Caris LeVert was still impressive, however. He finished with 15 points, 15 assists and 7 rebounds. It’s all about health for LeVert.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b>Philly/Boston<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b> </b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">The 76ers did show last night that this will not be an easy series for Boston just because Ben Simmons is out. Philadelphia is still a physical defensive team with heart. They will force Boston to beat them.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">But, Boston just has too much fire power, led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, two more budding superstars. In order for Philly to have a real shot at this series, Joel Embiid will need to match the scoring of Brown and Tatum combined and he was unable to do that in Game 1.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Embiid did post 26 and 16, but if Donovan Mitchell can drop 57, Embiid has to get you at least 40.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Gordon Hayward’s ankle injury is scary, however. Boston will need him in order to do anything serious, such as make a run to the NBA Finals.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b>Dallas/LA Clippers<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b> </b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">This game was marred by the controversial ejection of Kristaps Porzingis early in the third quarter. KP was playing well and the Mavericks were up five at the time, but I’m not sure the Clippers wouldn’t have won the game anyway.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Kawhi Leonard and Paul George showed up as expected, scoring 29 and 27, respectively. Marcus Morris Sr. was the third scorer, hitting some big shots on his way to 19 points.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Montrezl Harrell got his feet wet in his first action in the bubble. He logged 15 minutes and had 6 points and 2 rebounds. Expect Harrell to become more and more comfortable in the next few games and eventually become the factor he was pre pandemic.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">The Clippers are deep, but their backup guard situation looks shaky, as both Reggie Jackson and Landry Shamet looked terrible last night.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Luka Doncic was unstoppable as usual last night (42, 9 & 7), but he is prone to mistakes. The Clippers forced him into 11 turnovers.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Getting back to the Porzingis ejection, the referees may be more prone to overreaction in the bubble because of the quiet gym that allows them to hear everything at an amplified level. You may see more technical fouls because the referees hear more than they would if there were 20,000 fans drowning everything else out.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">“You can now hear so many more things that the crowd might normally drown out,” Zarba said. “You know, we have to learn not to be so sensitive, because a lot of it is passion and wanting to win.”<o:p></o:p></p>Jamal Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14947166565206322287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605975511818484936.post-79224433581260878542020-06-26T12:32:00.000-07:002020-06-26T12:32:39.519-07:00Sports Are Not Essential And Athletes Are Not Essential Employees<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States, we have been introduced to the concept of the essential worker. The essential worker is one who must be on the frontline of this battle versus the pandemic in order to provide necessities to others or themselves.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Some examples come to mind: emergency room doctors and staff, public transportation workers, grocery store employees, restaurants and delivery workers, Amazon warehouse workers, and of course NBA, NFL, MLB and college football players.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Wait, what?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Yes, that’s right, if you listen closely to some fans, league personnel, players and coaches, and even government officials, professional and college sports and the athletes therein are being described in ways previously reserved for the traditional class of essential employees.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
The most popular argument for this designation is that entertainment is essential to the public, particularly during a pandemic that has forced most of our smart and responsible citizens to refrain from activities that would provide entertainment in normal times.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Some have gone even further, claiming that sports are actually essential to the well-being of sports fans and even casual fans because entertainment would increase the public’s morale and would keep the public safe by giving us a reason to stay inside in order to watch sports on television.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
“Work out the economics, if you can,” New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said referring to professional sports teams in New York.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
“We want you up,” Cuomo said in May. “We want people to be able to watch sports. To the extent people are still staying home, it gives people something to do. It’s a return to normalcy. So, we are working and encouraging all sports teams to start their training camps as soon as possible and we’ll work with them to make sure that can happen.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
While the sentiment may make some sense, it unfairly puts substantial pressure on the athletes. What other multi-millionaires do you know that are being pressured to put themselves in harm’s way for the benefit of others? Every other multi-millionaire I can think of can work in the comfort of their own home or vacation home, insulated from any possible exposure to Covid-19.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
At least one professional athlete has caught on.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
“Football is a nonessential business and so we don’t need to do it,” New Orleans Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins said on Thursday. “So, the risk has to be really eliminated before we, before I, would feel comfortable with going back.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Jenkins will undoubtedly catch heat from a segment of society that believes he is essential for their entertainment and therefore expendable.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
On the other hand, professional athletes are not being paid to sit out, so playing may be essential to some in order to feed their families, which is another category of essential worker, akin maybe to the Amazon warehouse worker.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
That is a different issue.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Players should be encouraged to make up their own minds when it comes to participation and should not allow themselves to be pressured into believing that self-sacrifice on the field or court of play, for other people’s entertainment, is akin to the emergency room physician.<o:p></o:p></div>
