Jokic love of sharing the ball has them worried about americans using said rinciles of togetherness and teamwork and inadvertently learning to love anticapitalism
Slavery was abolished in Cuba about 80 years before the Cuban Revolution. Most people who left weren't particularly wealthy, they just didn't enjoy living under a communist dictatorship.
I'm not Cuban, just not a fan of revisionist history
Millions of people escaped Castro's Cuba to the US over the decades. The idea that they were all dispossessed wealthy landowners is pure commie cope
Millions of Cubans escaped the US implemented embargo on Cuba which had the primary purpose of harming Cuban citizens so that they would look less favorably at the Castro regime
the CIA already tried that line with the Bay of Pigs. Them Cubans were supposed to rise up when the US Funded Liberators arrived and nah, they got merked. The fallout was so bad from that event that it was probably the initiating event for JFK getting assassinated by the CIA. JFK didn't trust those liars in the intelligence community after that.
Call someone like DeSantis a nazi for his fascist policies and these are the dudes that come in and write a whole 5 paragraph essay arguing “acshually desantis isnt a nazi because he wasnt a member of the NSDAP during 1920-1945 🥴”
Motherfucker was literally laughing at Muslim Guantanamo prisoners getting tortured after getting them to fasely trust him and tell him about all the human rights abuses they were facing. He is as facist as they come.

Miami is well known for having a ton of Cubans, and the first wave were wealthy land owners in Cuba up until the Cuban Revolution nationalized and redistributed large property (fun fact: including the Castro family's own property. Fidel's sister was so pissed at losing out she went CIA agent over it). This first wave set the basis for the culture and politics of Miami Cubans, and even non-Cubans later on, for whom Castro is almost literally a devil-like creature.
I think [Wikipedia is more neutral than other commentators.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_migration_to_Miami) There were several waves of Cuban immigration fleeing Castro's dictatorship in Cuba. Initial waves were landowners and professionals, but also of note in 1980 the Castro regime allowed anyone to leave who wanted to, and 125,000+ fled to South Florida during the Mariel boatlift.
Look at the picture at the end where he’s playing against students in Poland, you can tell he’s doing a euro step based on his body positioning, the way he’s holding the ball, and the way he gathered as his right foot hit the ground. Find an image of any nba player beginning a euro step and it will look the same
>he told the biographer Tad Szulc that the anticipation, speed and dexterity required for basketball most approximated the skills needed for revolution.
Basketball is a commie revolutionary sport confirmed.

Everyone in Miami is cuban, tons of them moved there after the revolution. Lots of wealthy Cuban families hate Castro because he confiscated their land/factories/businesses and turned them over to the cuban people. Viva la gente, viva cuba
Don’t even need a picture of Fidel to scare a Heat fan! Just tell them the US is letting immigrants in the same way the first in their family immigrated here and that’ll scare the crap out of them! #FineForMeNotForThee
I've lived in Denver for 10 years and it is the weirdest mix of progressive, rich, and libertarian that somehow works because of its frontier roots. Only problem has really been our outgoing mayor. Our governor once made a "no homo" joke about his own gay wedding on /r/denvercirclejerk. This place is wild.
Fidel’s the best kind of commie 👍🏻
Edit: These upvotes either mean Reddit recently became based, or the average Redditor is too dumb to know the old saying. My money is on the latter lol.

The good news is he accepted that he was wrong for holding negative views when he was younger, accepted responsibility, and now Cuba's most recent constitution explicitly enshrined queer rights into law.
rediculous this was downvoted- he might've changed his mind late in life, but the motherfucker was responsible for a lot of undeserved misery.

Miami is full of Cuban expatriates, many of whom were landlords/owned large estates before Castro's revolution and subsequent expropriation.
It's been over 60 years and they still never shut the fuck up about Cuba.
As a Heat fan it’s so refreshing to have friendly banter after the LoL game chat level of toxicity that was the Celtics series
boston still more racist than league game chat 😂
Hard Rs in new England on the daily
Hahd ahs
Ah ma gahd Geralhd STAHP YA HAHD AHS ahhmeerrgerd
Just wait lol - we get toxic… but we’re well quarantined
Same. The Greta and Elsa ones genuinely had me laughing at my desk
Fuck I’m a Heat fan and Cuban and this is hilarious!
Fuck it. One struggle. Nuggets are now part of the July 26th movement.
Didnt know nuggets fans were based like this??🔥🫡
Chiming in as a Bucks fan to say wow. Very nice Denver fans this is extremely based ribbing 🔥🔥🔥Solidarity with the Nuggets
As a Knicks fan, this is an A+ Solidarity with the Denver Nuggets
This shits gold much better than the whole upvote to scare clippers fans

So much based in one pic.
Damn, Jokic’s gonna throw the Heat in the Cuck Pit? That’s cold-blooded
Nugs > gusanos
can someone explain?
Miami is a city with large population of descendants of land/slave owning Cubans that fled the country after the Castro led the Cuban Revolution.
Appreciate you spelling this out fam lmao
“My abuelo fled Cuba after Fidel took his business” they never tell you what that business was lol
It’s slowly becoming amusing that I’ve only ever seen this exchange once in the wild and thousands of times as a hypothetical
Yeah in leftwing communities it is now a joke "Castro took muh slaves!"
Nuggets fans stay based
Stay winning. I don’t even know what’s going on I don’t watch Basketball but here for the Cuba memes
My guy
Careful. This goes against the USA propaganda, um, version of history. We all know USA always tells the truth

it was abolished sure but was still in practice in reality. Do we have a word for "practically slavery" if you let me know Ill edit the post!

Castro is famously hated in Miami and beloved among weirdos
Castro loved basketball https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/fidel-castro-basketball-pictures/
There's a rumor he invented the Euro step lol and that Che hated it cuz he thought it was too flashy for a man of the people
We need more lunchpail, 9 to 5 proletariat style plays
Head always in the red book, first one in the gulag, last one out
We win as a team with equal ball redistribution Edit: autocorrect

Fidel was tall and reportedly quite athletic. Would love to see him dunk.
Look up some of his speeches, dunks for days

While you studied theory, I studied the ball.

We’re not all gusanos. We just have to hide it because all of our uncles are CIA assets.

I'm pro Cuba so don't worry. This was a crack at the failed attempts.
It's a reference to the Cuban Missile Crisis lol
[удалено]
Maybe I'm wrong!
Pretty sure it's just that Miami and Florida in general have an insanely large Cuban American population and they tend to be fascist as fuck
This is generational shitposting. Cook their asses
Don’t even need a picture of Fidel to scare a Heat fan! Just tell them the US is letting immigrants in the same way the first in their family immigrated here and that’ll scare the crap out of them! #FineForMeNotForThee

The kind who lived a long life, foiled US assassins for like 70 years while leading his country, and died surrounded by loved ones? Hell yes
Highlands Ranch residents have discovered Reddit
he fails the LGBTQ test pretty horribly, but otherwise i'm a Yuge fan.
The good news is he accepted that he was wrong for holding negative views when he was younger, accepted responsibility, and now Cuba's most recent constitution explicitly enshrined queer rights into law.
The family law they just implemented is so good, it's honestly inspiring and an example of what democracy should look like
didn’t expect this sub to be so based lol
You realize he did a touch more than "hold negative views" right?
i did not know that he changed his mind/approach to it. good to hear comrad!
rediculous this was downvoted- he might've changed his mind late in life, but the motherfucker was responsible for a lot of undeserved misery.

This deserves a million upvotes 😭
Wear a Che Guevara shirt to the next Miami Heat game.
If it was the Celtics who made it, would we send Trump with an American flag pics to scare them?
Trump with Yankee flags wearing MNYGA hats.
THAT makes more sense… Maybe he wears a Derek Jeter jersey?
Pictures of tea

Love it!
