Now we'll see how the NBA deals with this.
The guy on the right in the picture above is the San Antonio Spurs' star point guard Tony Parker, who is - you guessed it - French. And he's a friend of Dieudonne, who is pictured on the left....
According to Fox News, the Simon Wiesenthal Center is demanding on Monday that Parker, the star point guard for the NBA's San Antonio Spurs, apologize for making the "quenelle," a hand gesture which is considered the Nazi sign in reverse.
The gesture was made famous in France by controversial comedian Dieudonné, whom French authorities are considering banning due to what they say are his repeated insults of the memory of the Holocaust. A picture of the comedian and Parker doing the quenelle has been circulating on social media.The Spurs are at home the rest of this week, but the next time they go to New York or LA, Parker should get quite a greeting.

Now I'm confused. So there is a hip-hop gang sign type thing that look the same? The photo of Obama, Beyonce, Jay Z, first does not look like they are in motion. And second, looks exactly like Tony Parker's Quenelle position.
So does that mean the French guys took the hip-hop gang sign? Or the other way? And where did the hip-hop thing start? What have they been saying it means? I saw another link with a string of photos of that revised NAZI salute being done at Auschwitz, in front of an Anne Frank poster, etc.
Stop taking these people's $lu$h. Please.
Another good reason not to watch Basketball. Hate the game.
This what quick.
Let's be fair.
