In particular, Hall of Famer Charles Barkley and Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick were involved in a back-and-forth regarding this topic. Barkley and Redick have a feud over this, but the Lakers coach isn’t giving it any thought.
Redick’s remark regarding the NBA’s current state and dwindling viewership sparked an argument with Charles Barkley. Redick clearly stated to the media that if ‘he was a casual fan,’ he would not have watched the NBA because it ‘sucks.’ These words did not go down well with Barkley. He stated that the Lakers stink and called Redick a ‘dead man walking.’
Now, Redick claimed that although he received the video of Barkley reprimanding him, he did not watch it through to the end. JJ Redick told the media, “Literally, don’t care. I have other thoughts but don’t care.” It looks like the Lakers coach is more focused on his side’s upcoming game against the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA.
