Marv Albert Sparks Major Controversy With Apparent ‘Racist’ Statement During Bucks-Nets Game (VIDEO – TWEETS)

Marv Albert’s name is being thrown in the mud this week after his latest comments involving Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

During TNT’s broadcast of Game 7 between the Brooklyn Nets and the Milwaukee Bucks this past weekend, Albert made an eye-popping comment while describing the super star players.

Listen for yourself:

You can’t make this up. They just announced something about George Floyd and Juneteenth during the Net vs. Bucks game, and maybe a minute later, Marv Albert calls Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant “valuable property.”

No…I’m not overthinking or overreacting. pic.twitter.com/DrC70MF01L

How Twitter reacted:

Attention all NBA commentators Presidents, GM’s, Governors and everyone else: Don’t ever refer to a Black Man as “valuable property” like Marv Albert did last night when referring to KD and Giannis. It’s beyond disrespectful and insulting pic.twitter.com/7MF0h4nNBl

Not Marv Albert calling two NBA players “valuable property” on Juneteenth. I’m sure he didn’t mean it that way. But sheesh.
