The tweet supposed to imply he’s broke ?

I heard Trev on All The Smoke and Barnes was trying to ask him about his different business and entrepreneurship. Trev deflected it and said “if you know then you know” or something like that. I guess that’s why he was being discreet

I prefer to listen to basketball from people who actually play/played basketball.

If they don't/didn't play basketball.....I don't listen to their basketball takes.

It's that simple for me.

Have you seen First Take? SAS played basketball like Bill.

nope don't watch first take.

I'll say it again, I only listen to basketball from people who play/played basketball.

SAS is a journalist.

 

[jpzx]

nope don't watch first take.

Okay. Well some people can play basketball and talk worse about it than people that have not. Btw Michael Jordan is the best player of all time.

No. 22 Virginia at No. 23 Memphis on ESPN2 > stupid *** Memphis at the Pelicans on TNT

Don't get me wrong, I'm going to watch Celtics at Warriors in the late slot...

Man aint no one trying to see if Virginia barley crack 60

If you never played basketball professionally you can't tell people how to play basketball professionally....

but yet, they try very very hard.

I was never painter, so you don't see me going on TV critiquing artists how to paint.

But the Grizzlies are going to the show

Not everyone who played hoop can talk hoop. Take Paul Pierce for example.

 

[executive76]

Would love for Luka and Joker to play on the Nuggets.

 

[wavycrocket]

SC Wild Boiz

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Some good game

 

[SORIANOTRON]

but he played hoops his takes are based off HIS FIRST HAND experience

I can't take 2nd hand OPINIONS over first hand experience.

and thats a crazy statement......just because you don't agree with his takes don't mean he can't talk hoop....brother he's a NBA champion, Finals MVP, 10x All Star

you telling me he cant talk hoop?

YOU sound foolish

There's a few guys that were the last cut (or Summer League'd / G'Leagued) from all 30 NBA teams for decades. But they never played real, professional basketball, and don't get to talk about basketball.

What’s your thoughts on coaches that never played in the league?

 

[SORIANOTRON]

they get a limited amount of respect from the players....

that's why those teams usually have OG's to be the conduit from coach to player

 

[jpzx]

"Oh Erik Spolestra is terrible."

 

[jpzx]

they get a limited amount of respect from the players....

Yeah, from you

 

[SORIANOTRON]

"Oh Erik Spolestra is terrible."

Haslem was the voice on those teams

Spolstra draws up the plays and does the post game interviews, does it well too.

 

[los2187]

Dame with 20 before half time

 

[jpzx]

Let's draw from a player pool only, and act like we wouldn't miss out on coaches that didn't play in the league. Yeah, great sample size to prefer.

Herbert been falling off of late. Murphy return really impacting him like that?
