Oscar Schmidt, the OG Brazilian baller and Hall of Famer, kicked the bucket at 68. Back in the day, this guy knew what was up. He could actually shoot, and he wasn't afraid to let everyone know it. “There was not a shot I didn’t like,” he said. Can you imagine any of these woke NBA players saying that today? They'd probably get canceled for toxic masculinity or something.

This guy actually liked to shoot the ball. You know, the POINT of basketball? Nowadays, it's all about virtue signaling and BLM jerseys. Give me a break. Schmidt was out there dropping buckets, not dropping to his knees for the latest leftist cause.

He turned down the NBA to play for Brazil. Back then, that meant something. Now? Every foreign player is just trying to cash in on the American dollar. Patriotism is dead, folks. Just like this legend. He was based. Seriously, how many athletes these days would CHOOSE to not make millions of dollars so they can represent their country? Almost none. That's how far we've fallen.

This guy was a freakin' scoring machine. He didn't need no participation trophies. He knew that the only thing that mattered was putting the ball in the hoop. And he did it with style. His death is another reminder that the world is going to hell in a handbasket.

And the three-pointer? He was nailing those before Steph Curry was even a twinkle in his daddy's eye. He understood that shooting was the key, long before analytics nerds ruined the game with their spreadsheets and efficiency ratings.

Oscar Schmidt represents a bygone era, when men were men and basketball was about winning, not wokeism. He should be a role model for today's generation of athletes, but they're too busy kneeling for the cameras to notice.

I bet his ghost is currently triggered by the current state of the NBA.

Let's be real, this dude would probably get banned from the NBA Twitter today for wrongthink.

Another one bites the dust. RIP, Oscar. You were a real one. You'll be missed by anyone who still remembers what basketball is supposed to be about.

I wonder how many pronouns he had?

His refusal to bow to the NBA cartel of the time is a testament to his character.

The details surrounding his death were not immediately available. Probably because the MSM doesn't care about real heroes anymore.
