It has been about a month since a former NBA player has come forth with a hate diatribe. This time coke head Micheal Ray has professed his hate for all things Jewish. From yarmulkes to gefilte fish, he has had enough. Could this have anything to do with David Stern (he’s kinda, sorta Jewish) suspending Micheal Ray 83 times during his playing career?

Here are some of his comments:

“I’ve got big-time lawyers,” Richardson said, according to the Times Union.”I’ve got big-time Jew lawyers.”

When told by the reporters that the comment could be offensive to people because it plays to the stereotype that Jews are crafty and shrewd, he responded with, “Are you kidding me? They are. They’ve got the best security system in the world. Have you ever been to an airport in Tel Aviv? They’re real crafty. Listen, they are hated all over the world, so they’ve got to be crafty.”

And he continued, “They got a lot of power in this world, you know what I mean?” he said. “Which I think is great. I don’t think there’s nothing wrong with it. If you look in most professional sports, they’re run by Jewish people. If you look at a lot of most successful corporations and stuff, more businesses, they’re run by Jewish. It’s not a knock, but they are some crafty people.”

And then, of course, Micheal was suspended once again.

“It’s terrible and I don’t think it’s fair,” Richardson told the Times Union regarding the suspension. “But I want to make an apology if I offended anyone because that’s not me.”

Even though I am pretty crafty, I don’t think adding any commentary is necessary. I will say I think the guy is getting high again and he will have to endure the struggle to stay clean, if that’s what he wants. Suffice to say this will probably be the last we hear of Micheal Ray.
