“Politics and Favoritism,” Cam Reddish Opens Up About His Time with the Knicks
From the Hawks to the Knicks to the Blazers: Cam Reddish's NBA Journey
Follow Us
Cam Reddish, a promising talent in the realm of basketball, has endured a tumultuous journey in the NBA. His most recent trade from the New York Knicks to the Portland Trail Blazers in March 2023 marks his second move in just over a year.
The trade to the Knicks in January 2022 initially held promise for Reddish, but he struggled to find his footing with the team. Despite his impressive stats, Reddish expressed his dissatisfaction with limited playing time and a desire for a more significant role elsewhere.
In a recent interview following his trade to the Blazers, Cam Reddish opened up about his time with the Knicks, citing “politics and favoritism” as factors that contributed to his frustration. He revealed his belief that the team’s coaches and management showed favoritism towards certain players, which led to an uneven distribution of playing time and opportunities.
Despite the challenges he faced with the Knicks, Reddish’s statistics were nothing short of impressive. In his 29 games with the team, he maintained an average of 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. He shot 38.7% from the field and 31.8% from the three-point line, with his standout performance being on October 20th, 2022, when he scored 22 points and made a clutch three-pointer to force overtime against the Celtics.
The trade to the Trail Blazers provides a fresh start for Reddish, but only time will tell how he will fare with his new team. Regardless, it’s evident that Cam Reddish is a force to be reckoned with in the world of basketball.
Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal troll the life out of Knicks for always needing that “one piece”
The New York Knicks aren’t close to becoming title contenders, according to Charles Barkley. Even though they have a strong core of players in Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, Jalen Brunson, and Mitchell Robinson who have performed admirably in the East this season.
Unfortunately, not everyone believes the Knicks are a dominant force. For instance, Charles Barkley of TNT recently made fun of the Knicks and their supporters when Kenny Smith said they were just missing one piece of being exceptional.
Kenny said, “[The Knicks] are probably another piece away from trying to be an elite team.” Chuck hilariously replied, “LeBron, Giannis, KD. … Kareem, Wilt, Magic, Bird? The Knicks are a good little solid team, they play hard and that’s it. They’re not even close Kenny…”
The Knicks go through periods where they appear to be virtually unbeatable, but these periods are invariably followed by other periods when their defense is subpar, their effort is subpar, and their decisions are awful. They have struggled with inconsistency for years, and the front office hasn’t reacted effectively.
