Cavs’ Jordan Clarkson Thinks That Our Ancestors Were Giants And Dinosaurs Were Their Pets

Dent8 years ago

There’s this narrative nowadays that athletes need to just shut up and play. Nobody cares about your opinion; we just want to see how well you can dunk in someone’s face. This stance is often perpetuated by members of the media who are clearly more knowledgable about things like abortion and guns than the rest of us.

“Leave it to the pros, LeBron,” they will say. “You don’t know enough about this stuff. By the way, why did you decide to take that three tonight when J.R. was wide open in the corner? Seemed suspect.”

I tend to disagree with this take. Athletes are just as intelligent as the rest of us. Take this conversation between Jordan Clarkson and his Cleveland Cavaliers teammates on a recent podcast.

From Road Trippin’: Richard vs. Channing:

Clarkson: I don’t believe in dinosaurs either. Well no, I actually do. I believe that — this is gonna get a little crazy. I’m gonna take y’all a little left on this. OK, so y’all know how we got dogs and stuff, right? So, I think it was bigger people in the world before us, and, like, the dinosaurs was they pets.

DJ Montage: On a leash? Like a pet? So how big were these people?

Clarkson: Oh, you look at a dinosaur. They got to be three times bigger than them.

Ancient giants used to roam around casually playing fetch with velociraptors? Sure, I’ll accept that. There is no evidence to prove it, but there’s also no evidence to disprove it. I just hope they weren’t chucking bones too far for fear that the dinos would go running off the edge of the earth.

How am I supposed to trust what history books are telling me happened millions of years ago when I can’t even trust what they say about things from my lifetime? JET FUEL CANNOT MELT STEEL BEAMS!

Let athletes speak their minds, because it’s way more fun when they do..
