Grant Napear’s €œAll Lives Matter€ tweet elicits strong replies from former players

In the wake of protests around the country, Grant Napear's tweet drew responses from DeMarcus Cousins, Chris Webber, and Matt Barnes.

In the wake of nationwide protests following the on-camera killing of George Floyd, former Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins asked Kings play-by-play announcer Grant Napear for his thoughts on Black Lives Matter. Napear’s response was “All Lives Matter”:

This sparked a backlash from former players, beginning with DeMarcus Cousins, but then Chris Webber and Matt Barnes also chimed in:

Grant added addition tweets to clarify his position, but they only served to increase the backlash against him. As of this morning, Napear apologized on Twitter:

 

We will continue to keep an eye on this story to see if anything develops further.

UPDATE 2:00 PM:

Grant Napear spoke with the Sacramento Bee’s Marcos Breton and apologized for his words.

€œI’m not as educated on BLM as I thought I was,€ Napear said to me. €œI had no idea that when I said €˜All Lives Matter’ that it was counter to what BLM was trying to get across.€

 

Napear was emotional on the phone and was sincere.

 

€œI’m in pain,€ he said. €œI’m 60 years old and I still have a lot learn.€

Napear also says he will apologize publicly on his KHTK radio show later today.

UPDATE 3:03 PM:

An easy way out of this, Grant, is to say Black lives matter. It’s better than the apology you offered!

Literally could’ve just replied with “Black Lives Matter.” Instead he has 20 tweets trying to justify “All Lives Matter.”

he’s not going to do that. as he was ‘raised’ to parrot racist counter slogans.

If it came across as dumb I apologize. That was not my intent. That’s how I was raised. It has been engrained in me since I can remember.

He was given the softest of soft ball questions by Demarcus and he couldn’t even help himself in the face of the greatest time of mass uprising and protest since the Civil Rights Movement. That’s how you know it runs deep for Grant.

Boogie was a fun player to watch. Grant is a great broadcaster, but I’ve soured on how rude he is to fans who call in to his show and how literally he ties the company line, even when the team makes awful decisions.

America needs more Jerry Reynolds, that’s what I know.

So I’m confused here. Grant is many things but I don’t see the controversy here. Grant only said ALL lives matter. Doesn’t thst also include black lives too? Why is this a controversy?

You aren’t confused. Either you’re being disingenuous or you’re being obtuse. Either way, I’d advise other posters to consider your past statements and consider if this deserves earnest responses.

Wow, really… those are his only options: being obtuse or disingenuous? Some people like myself (in the past) needed to be educated on the difference of the 2 slogans and its meaning. For a time, I didn’t know saying All Lives Matter in response to BLM was a negative until I educated myself on the topic. Not everyone has bad intentions. But from the rest of your post, it sounds like Nem_Business has had a ‘history’ of stoking controversy, so definitely not defending him here, Or Grant for that matter. From Grant’s tweet, it definitely felt like he knew what he was saying and knew the responses it would illicit. So I have no sympathy for ppl like him.
 
But I am curious to know, what does Grant mean when he says: “That’s how I was raised. It has been engrained in me since I can remember.” I don’t know him and don’t listen to his radio show. But if it means what I interpret it to mean, then I think he’s done.

Read my statement again:
 

Not ALL LIVES are being taken by racist cops.

 
The statistics you point to show that all races get killed by cops, which we all already knew. That has nothing to do with my statement.
 
Do you believe there are black racist cops killing innocent white people because of their skin color?
 
Otherwise, I don’t see where you are finding a problem with my statement.

Another thing you need to consider when looking at statistics is how many people are in each category.
 
Your chart only shows the number of people in each race that were shot by cops in these years. Do you know what percentage of the US population those groups make up? There are not the same amount of white people as black people in the US, obviously.
 
White people made up 76.5% of the population in 2019, while black people made up 13.4%. So, how do your numbers look in that context?

Yeah that’s not how statistics work. If the data isn’t proportional based on the population size of each subset then it’s irrelevant. But I suspect you already knew that.

NB, i’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and reply in the hopes that you are being earnest and if even if you aren’t, perhaps someone else will see this who might be willing to learn. “All Lives Matter” is something people say when they don’t want to admit that black people are treated any differently than they are. It’s a way to deny that systematic racism exists.
 
It goes without saying that most sane people know and understand that “All Lives” should matter. Saying #BlackLivesMatter doesn’t mean you don’t matter, it’s an acknowledgement that black people have never been treated like they do.

Thank you very much.
Being from Europe, as I asume NB is too, it´s impossible to understand BLM/ALM without this explanation.
To make things even worse ALM would have been my exact answer, not knowing what it means in this context. And I was phrasing the same question as NB about being confused.

Even if he really didn´t know and I asume he knows. – in his job, he has to know and to be aware of.
 
I just tried to explane that, for me being a non-US- American, it´s quite hard to understand the phrasing and meaning.

1. It’s not a real apology if you say €œIF it came across as dumb€ because it means he doesn’t really believe it does and is putting it on how people are interpreting it, not what he said.

2. He posted that last night, not this morning. He is choosing to be incredibly silent this morning and not address everyone speaking out about it

Thank you–I totally agree about point #1. (classic Non-apology)

Also:

I’ve been doing more listening than talking the past few days.

Who is he listening to? (Is Doug Christie softballing things to him?)

If Grant still hasn’t admitted “yes, black lives do matter–I understand the statement now” after doing ‘more listening than talking’, then it’s time to just ignore him completely.

I’m guessing KHTK and the Kings have told him to STFU for a bit because when he speaks on this subject he puts his foot in his mouth. This is also why I think KHTK has put him on leave. It’s to take his mic away he doesn’t completely kill any credibility he has left.

€œIf there is any player in the NBA that should not be talking about fan behavior, and about how to treat athletes as opposed to people, it’s DeMarcus Cousins,€ Napear said on his radio program he hosts with former Kings star Doug Christie back in 2019. Cousins had called out Toronto Raptors fans for cheering when then-Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon injury and Napear wasn’t having it.

€œThis guy is the crudest, most vile player that I have ever been around in my 31 years in the NBA,€ Napear said.

And yet, nary a negative word about Cousins while he was here. Spineless.

Dave did retweet the bee article about grants “apology” but I guess friends will support friends.

It really is a shitty defense he raises. Are we really supposed to believe that a guy who’s active on social media, and/or even just around NBA players & staff is supposed to not know the background of the ALM idiocy?

Thanks, G-Naps. That’s what I thought, but I don’t know how this stuff works. I wonder if this indicates some chemistry issues on the team. I’m 100% taking Fox’s side on this. He seems far more mature in his early 20’s than Bagley’s dad is in his 40’s or whatever.

I like that no matter how badly we think a Kings draft pick might turn out it’s usually worse than we can imagine. How funny would it be if this ended with Bagley being gone and Fox wanting out? That’s Kangz style right there.

Silly. This team has no business venturing into politics.
 
€All lives matter€ is a general, conservative comment, not particularly racist at all
 
the team has no business censuring someone for middle of the road conservative views
 
And as a non €œprogressive€ white male, the fact that the team is involving itself in €œsocial issues€ just means alienating itself from me, as much as some of you feel that way about Napear
 
Sports is for getting away from politics. Teams have no business involving themselves in certain sides of the political spectrum

This situation is a lot of things, but €œsilly€ is not one of them. And while €œALM€ may be inoffensive to you, it is wholly offensive to those that saw €œALM€ created as a direct response to €œBLM,€ and it was seemingly created solely to demean the €œBLM€ movement.
 
My guess is that it’s not the Kings’ political involvement that’s eating at you here. It’s their point of view.

Nice to know what was clearly made to mock BLM is ‘middle of the road’ conservatism in a nutshell. Since the extreme end supports genocide I guess you have a point.

I’ve got some bad news for you. The €œsports have no business in politics€ ship has sailed. The ship has sailed for two important reasons.
 
The first is that people of color keep getting murdered by the police. If you can’t see the inherent wrongness and inhumanity of what is happening I would recommend looking deep within yourself to examine why you are ok with the senseless deaths of innocent people and the stripping of dignity of a portion of the America’s population.
 
The second is because Donald Trump made a conscious decision to actively engage professional leagues and athletes on social issues in the most unproductive way possible. By attacking them. He wanted to pick a fight with the sports community over players kneeling or speaking out when young people of color are murdered with no repercussions. Well now there’s a real fight and he’s so clearly out of his depth I’m legitimately worried that he’ll start executing protestors in the street.
 
Here’s another fun fact. I’m not a progressive white male. I’m generally more conservative on a lot of economic issues. I’m a pastor at one of the largest church’s in the Bay Area. The Kings stance on social justice issues makes me MORE likely to support them in the future. Do you want to know why? Because what is happening in this country should have NOTHING to do with your politics. The sight of innocent people murdered on camera shouldn’t be a right or left issue. It’s about good versus evil. What happened to George Floyd was evil. Systemic evil. 400 years worth of subjugation for black Americans kind of evil.
 
Grant doesn’t like DeMarcus Cousins and he decided to really stick it to him when he said All Lives Matter. He knew exactly what he was doing and that was trying to hurt a black person during a time of great pain for people of color. That is a despicable thing to do. It is racist. It isn’t a €œconservative€ thing to say. It’s a racist thing to say.

Quote:

€All lives matter€ is a general, conservative comment, not particularly racist at all

  
To my understanding:  
 
Black Lives Matter is a recognition that unarmed black people have been repeatedly killed by police and that this is not right.
 
“All Lives Matter” is pretending that we’re all treated the same, effectively denying the above is true.
 
To a person who has seen the videos of George Floyd, LaQuan McDonald, Eric Garner, Walter Scott, Tamir Rice or Stephon Clark and dozens (hundreds?) of others not caught on video, and thinks that could easily be them, this is dehumanizing.
 
I’m not going to argue that this isn’t a middle of the road conservative position. I just wish our “society,” such as it is, could agree on the basic humanity of our neighbors, fellow citizens and other human beings. It seems clear to me that the value of a life, whether it’s an old person who might get COVID, an immigrant kid in a detention facility or an unarmed black man killed by police, is a political decision and not a moral imperative.

It’s so weird that the play by play guy of all people manages to be so polarizing. Like your whole job is to be the guy that doesn’t provide color commentary.
 
Also, what are the chances that Grant resigns/gets fired over this? This specific thing doesn’t appear like it’s a fireable offense, but I don’t see how the kings can claim to support BLM while employing a guy that is being accused of being a closet racist by former black players.

Probably true. I used to be so dumbfounded that the Kings would allow one of their employees to tell Kings fans to stop being fans because he disagreed with their opinion. Then one day I just realized Vivek tolerates it because Grant is just saying what Vivek is thinking. This is a obviously a bit different, but I still think Grant survives. He hasn’t technically said anything that’s overtly racist.
 
To be clear, when someone says “all lives matter”, “I have black friends”, “but Donald Sterling hired a black coach and GM”, and “I believe in standing for the national anthem” then I think it’s very easy to infer that, at the very least, the man has a very antiquated understanding of race relations in this country. I’m just not sure if that’s considered a fireable offense these days for a man of Grant’s stature.
 
Coded language is so effective because of how easy it is to have some level of plausible deniability regarding your true intent. All lives may matter to Grant, but he wouldn’t treat people the way he does if he truly believed all lives matter equally.

Good stuff. They seem to be more bullish than I am. A couple of things I thought it were interesting:

  • JJ’s assertion that he believes Grant’s treatment of former players, and his perceived closeness with Vlade, can/does hurt the Kings in free agency
  • There are actually people within the Kings organization who understand how bad it looks for the voice of the Kings to call Kings fans idiots

I’d guess he won’t get furloughed. But depending on how much blow back the king’s get from this he may be let go.
 
 
And one doesn’t have to dig too deep to find a pattern in grants behavior.
 
 
But remember Grant is a genuine individual and all his co-workers have nothing but nice things to say about him.

Kangz1960 from the old site here, finally found my way over.

I always thought Grant was like this, but was smart enough to know when to stay quiet, as he frequently did over the years. DeMarcus exposed him. If he had any chance of surviving this, it evaporated after his pathetic effort to explain his understanding of All Lives Matter while refusing to acknowledge Black Lives Matter.

I also think that Kings management was waiting for an opportunity to be rid of him, and he finally provided it.
