I think it would be interesting to see the percentage of black people going into broadcasting majors compared to white people.

Also, not fair to say Mark Jones “clearly has to whitewash” his voice. Did he admit to that? Is that on record somewhere? To me, he sounds like Mark Jones and no one in the industry sounds like him.

He sounds the same when speaking off camera or off the job. He didn’t codeswitch when he was on a “black” podcast. He sounded like Mark Jones.

What the hell does “black” sound like anyways? If someone doesn’t sound like your idea of black does that make them less black or whitewashed?

I’ll believe it when I see it. He needs a Batman to actually get there.

👆🏽 this. UCLA fans are not surprised. I think his basketball feel has allowed him to make up for his non-elite athleticism. I was concerned as well after seeing him get torched in the USC game. Shout out to Don MacLean for getting Jaime ready for the league. He’s leveled up and I’m so stoked to watch him succeed in the NBA. Hope Jaylen and Juzang get there.

Yeap. Any of the elite teams really

Lonzo coming back from injury, signing with a contender, and then winning a chip as a meaningful roleplayer like Shaun Livingston would be the perfect story
