Jay Bilas v Dan LeBetard

[billmac91]

How bout' Jay Bilas making Dan LeBetard look idiotic on his own Miami radio show.

Pretty funny to listen to one ESPN analyst make another ESPN employee look like a moron.

Take a listen: It's regarding race and nationality in basketball.

LeBetard is my least favorite ESPN personality, and this is a good example why.

"..then take offense, it's stupid."

His 2002 UM/OSU pregame comments were gold.

His 2002 UM/OSU pregame comments were gold.

I forget, which quote was his? I can only remember Trev and May's 40-0 at half classic this morning.

Bilas used to do a great job at the NBA draft when he would dog on players weaknesses while he was wearing a room mic. Everyone heard him and it pissed more than a few players off.

In spike of him being a Dookie, he does a great job with college hoops.

LeBetard is just a tool. Bilas shut him up.

Granderson(sp?) had a really good article discussing race and the NBA/sports, specifically Hansbrough and Love, on espn.com. I know enough about LeBetard to know, without being able to listen at work, what he was saying was purely inflammatory douchebaggery.

That was damn funny

I love the Leretard says, You can't start and sentence with don't take offense and then call something stupid and Bilas replies, fine take offense....this is stupid LOL

Nevermind, I just read below the photo. Huh?

 

[Jake]

Let's see, a Duke law school graduate versus Dan the Tard. Hmmm....how might that work out?

That was fucking great.

Who gives a rats ass?

I don't care for either of them. Just Nuke'm all.

Finally got a chance to listen to this yesterday. Hi-fucking-larious. LeBetard wasn't actually prepared to ask an informed person that question. Bilas bringing up several black players that had their athleticism questioned...even a player of the year that wasn't drafted. Then he smacked down the race argument by using LeBetard's own nationality argument was classic.

"Then take offense...it's stupid."

Well, as much as I don't like LeBetard in general, I actually sided with him back when this dispute first occurred. GM's are human so even they are prone allow superficial attributes and biases to play a factor in their opinions. However, I never thought one would admit expressly that they discriminate against a player just because he was white. From Ricky Rubio's profile on Draft Express, one GM we spoke to recently going as far as to say that he would ?never draft a white guy.? Bilas owes LeBetard an apology. I tend to think that Bilas is an overrated analyst. He's just very well schooled at being diplomatic and towing the politically correct line.
