Barkley is the only media person who can call his fellow sports media colleagues cowards, punks, idiots and jackasses and not fear any repercussions

[@skillethead15]

Yea because if other shows start calling players idiots and dummies y’all would click off. Barkley can say that because he’s a hall of famer. These other people can’t say that even if they wanted to. These shows are about entertainment and getting clicks, not perfect analysis.

@michaelbarnes2126 the Lakers front office is always messed up. Ham also had players that he could have played and didn't or a player start doing well he pulled them. He allowed teams to go on runs and didn't try to slow down the momentum with a time-out or anything. He could have done better.

Good luck tho smh lol

[@a.k.446]

@michaelbarnes2126 Rob hired him. Rob chose him over Ty Lue and whoever else LeBron asked for. Y'all blame everything on LeBron, but when Rob doesn't listen to LeBron, it's still his fault. How about they fire Rob. It's business, and Roba and Jeanie need to learn how to run a team. Y'all hate LeBron so much everything is his fault.

[@tspen4128]

I've been saying this for a while now... coaches today are considered more "colleagues" than "managers/bosses" by their players(particularly these "superstar" players). We've even heard this said by players like kyrie and evidenced by players subbing themselves in and out of games when they want/feel like it(lebron).Or colluding with ownership/front office to determine the direction of the team...how can any legitimate coach take full blame when the league has created this type of environment where players have so much power and so many liberties...

[@latarribell4152]

Didn’t Magic and Jordan get their first coaches fired(Magic got his coach fired after winning a chip)? This isn’t a new phenomenon, it’s revisionist history.

[@tspen4128]

@@latarribell4152 you're right, both those players had power and influence (to some degree). That's not what I'm arguing... It's well documented that Jordan had issues with jerry Krause cause Jerry wasn't going to bend to every whim and demand Jordan had(again proving my point of how different things are now)...Magic and the Westhead situation is similar but different in many ways.A bunch of players had issues with the coach and his system, jerry buss understood this and decided to go with pat. My point though is that players today enjoy much more of a say on where they can go & how these deals are formulated - due in part to better union representation and increased stake in the overall league's direction. This is heavily skewed towards the superstars...we've heard many "low-end"/"journeymen" players speak on this very topic...Players have always been primadonna, particularly the good ones. This is not new. What's new is how the league and teams in general are reacting to these primadonna tendencies. How they enable and cowtail, so as not upset to order of things. Today we have a players like James harden and Ben Simmons that can hold teams hostage and somehow still manage to find roster spots on different teams with highly inflated salaries...it's a different time

[@valjohnson7112]

Try to be an effective coach when your best player is a diva who thinks he knows more about everything than you. Then try to run an nba offense when that player refuses to cut and just wants to stand still at the top of the key whenever he doesn’t have the ball. Good luck to anyone with that.

[@JayeTomlinson]

​​@@AaronxxiI think coach Ham used the correct players on that game but other players was inconsistent like Rui, DLO, Dinwiddie and Gabe Vincent. Most of the biggest points of the Lakers was coming from Bron and AD. And also Vanderbilt was a big loss for the Lakers also. Lakers was lack of reliable players that can score and affect the play of the game, unlike Denver who has Braun, Jackson etc. It's tough to beat that team with inconsistent players.
