@FAN BOi That's what Kenny is talking about. The mentality isn't there. You could say being in NBA isn't a job (which it is...), but the mentality of just putting your head down and getting to work isn't there. Remember, most of these new players ain't coming from places that they had to struggle in their life. Take Kemba Walker for example. He's from New York (The Bronx to be exact). NYC isn't an easy place to live, especially where he is from. You have to work to get where you want to go. He has improved tremendously since he got into the league. To the point that he is a top ten player right now and is in consideration for MVP.
@FAN BOi Just because the season is only six months long doesn't mean they only work for six months. Being a pro athlete is a grueling year-round process that forces you to stay in peak physical condition so you can keep your spot. What defines a "job" isn't what you do or what you get paid. Sure, pro basketball isn't a conventional job, but it is a job.
FAN BOi The NBA is a job being first off you have to be qualify. Then you have to be wanted by the company of Organization. You’re talking about a free application like every real job in America has the same rules on how to get the job. NBA is literally one of the most physical demanding jobs in the world, and one of the stressful jobs because out of 6 months of the year (the season) your work performance is Displayed for everyone to see and criticize and many people would criticize you directly if you have a bad game. You have a bad day at work you boss may know about it but your boss doesn’t have 1,000’s of people saying cut this guy get him out of here either. So that brings lack of privacy in your daily life normal working people wouldn’t understand. And the NBA season is 6 months. These guys practice year round. Sure they might take a trip for 2 months but minicamp/training camp starts in July and the season just ends in May. And a day at practice is probably harder than a day at work. Sure it’s a game but the shit is very physically demanding and that’s why they get paid so much because must people can’t do it. They can’t go thru a whole off season. To even get in the league you have to be qualify which most people aren’t. And a team has to want you over millions of other people trying to get a shot in the NBA. Grow up kid.
“That dude had to go home to his wife and kids and say, ‘I got fired.’” I’ll admit, I never ever saw things from that perspective. I should probably hold my tongue next time I want to blame a coach or a player and make stupid statements in anger like, “Fire that man!” That really does suck.... props to Chuck for having that heart.
Kenny actually spoke facts this segment. These kids feel entitled and they never had a job, so the responsibility isn't there. Work ethic is non-existent.
It'd be nice to think they care about the fans, but I don't think that factors into their mindset. All about money and flexing power. If you can get a coach fired, then they'll just keep pushing that envelope until someone mans up and puts their foot sternly down (David Stern pun not intended).
idk i mean i feel like most student athletes who are that good to go pro probably never had a job. like for example kobe grew up balling in italy and was drafted at 17 😂 idk maybe it was different in the 70s and 80s tho when sports weren’t an industry in themselves
good segment, interesting how much smarter the conversation is with KG instead of Shaq lmao edit: no hate to Shaq ofc he's a great broadcaster and is an entertainment genius
Shaq is a freaking clown and half of the time you cannot understand what he's saying. Is crucial to learn how to talk. Peace! Especially when you're on TV.
@@bizarrerideii832 I'm pretty Jordan still has love for the city of Chicago an the time he spent there winning 6 tittles, an still disappointed on how the Chicago bulls organization has been a disaster since the days he was playing there, if you love the game as much as he does you think about things like that, I'm sure he's not losing any sleep over it but I'm sure he sometimes thinks about it.
No matter what team he owns or has stake in, Michael Jordan will always have a special love for the city of Chicago and the Bulls. He himself said that.
Sid Jones its not as much about loosing but the way you loose. This group has no pride. Getting players in there that will scrap and claw and fight, is what hes talking about.
Now you see why Jimmy Butler felt the way he felt about these little soft ass players specially Jimmy Butler worked hard to get where he is and I would give Kobe an personal invite to the Bulls practice I bet you they would step the it up then
@Russell Johnson he is now days that he's is a star but the young humble tenacious defender Butler was great he had to work hard for being a bench player on a team with a superstar(rose) and an all star center(noah) and a future hof(gasol) to being the guy
I agree with Kenny for the most part. I didn’t pursue basketball in college but up until then I didn’t have to work. My whole life was basketball summer league, AAU, tournaments, etc I loved it so much but you best believe if we got whooped, we would have been in the gym the next day.(You don’t practice you don’t play)
Jack Salonsky I means that I was blessed enough that I didn’t need a job and if I wasn’t home I was at school, if I wasn’t at school, I was playing basketball, and if I wasn’t on the court, I was back at home. Eat. School. Basketball. Sleep. Repeat.
Jack Salonsky Idk if you liked basketball like I did but I loved it. I didn’t. Whatever I got for my birthday and Christmas was my yearly allowance and my parents paid for my living expenses lol
@@mygaffer OP is making a point. Height is given to you and there are people who pay to work their ass off in a gym. These guys were given height and millions to play ball but there's little effort.
Just imagine Jordan probably didn’t see 100 million until the tail end of his career but you take Zion Williamson who had a 60 plus million dollar contract with Nike before he even played a single game and on top of that did not even play a whole season and is on the cover of a video game. Like this kid could retire right now and be set for life
I remember Kobe, the Lakers lost to Miami (with Lebron, DWade and CB) in Miami. He had a bad shooting night. Right after the game he went back to the gym and practiced his shooting till 12AM. Miss that NBA...
Joker does an hour in the weight room after every game, win or lose. His presser is always late because he won’t compromise on that extra work out. MVP.
Charles Barkley was genuinely starting to get emotional talking about costing another man his job, and how that affects their family. That's real respect for your fellow man, especially coming from someone who has said many times over the years "I've never had a job and I don't want one". And I have zero belief in my heart that KG really meant what he said, as well. That man is a certified maniac about basketball, and he's talking about "we come from a different era, practicing after a back-to-back, blah blah blah". Rest and Recovery are the Yin to Competition and Training's Yang for an athlete. You need both to succeed, but if your team isn't cutting the mustard, it's rarely because you're not rested enough. That toll unfortunately tends to manifest in the form of injury, which can be avoided by load management, but losing by 50+ points? Even if you're PLAGUED with injury on the WHOLE roster, the opposing team can still send out their bums to give their stars a rest, so to hear KG parrot this weak shit from office goons MAKES ME FUCKING SICK. We can all be working harder towards our goals and dreams, but rarely do we have a metric in life to determine our personal progress. Sports do, however, offer several criterion for measuring skill and success - because men lie, women is, but the numbers don't.
i swear 99% of the dudes in the nba only want the money, fame and image of being on tv that comes with being in the league. i can count on two hands the players that have the drive and work ethic to want to be great. mj, the goat, said it best, he said that practice was extremely important because it helped him develop a routine and when game time came around he has already experienced it and saw it play it in practice so it was just a matter of him executing.
Exactly what I be saying these players let social media n highlight videos on RUclips dictate how they perform its more players playing cuz ppl told them they could make millions then guys actually trying to be the best
Stockton didn't even rest during the off-season, so when the season started back up he wouldn't have to get back in shape like a lot of other guys struggled with. Which makes sense when you see that he played 17 full seasons of not missing a single game. These guys are too afraid that if they do well then the current management will get credit; They'll have to have a 'players only' meeting and decide to play basketball for themselves and for the fans instead of making sure the franchise stays in the toilet.
Kenny makes a great point. Most of these NBA players have never had a real job before playing in the NBA. Even though the hours, effort, and sweat you put into basketball is like work.
Funny seeing this from 5 years ago. Pretty coherent and to the point. The generation is just very different. Amplified even more so 5 years later. Guys like KD or James, still playing, still getting coaches fired. And the no practice thing is weird. But players are different today. They don't even want to try to play the 82 game season.
Can we fire shaq? People like KG and CWebb are much better at this type of role. Shaq does not articulate his points that greatly. Gets very defensive and egotistical and resorts to bullying barkley whenever he can
The things said in this segment were words of wisdom. This generation should really listen to what was just said about their attitudes and whining. Be responsible, pay your dues, be respectful, be mindful of others, and don't always think about yourself.
Kenny made an excellent point. I’m not sure if most if not all of these guys have ever had a real job or real responsibilities before. All they’ve really had to focus on was basketball and school. I imagine that at a certain point you can develop a selfish, entitled and shallow outlook on everything.
If you can't figure out how to foul hard without getting a Flagrant 1, then maybe you shouldn't be in the NBA. Or maybe you should get a flagrant 2 and be ejected, just to fire up your team like Jason Smith did for the New Orleans Hornets against the Clippers in 2012.
I wouldn’t want to practice on that team either but I also wouldn’t want to sign with a team that’s known to have an awful front office. The fact they paid Lavine shows that. He’s not a star. Charles always says the league needs to keep more old guys around to teach incoming players to do things the right way like Moses and Dr. J taught him and he’s right. I know it’s hard to waste spots with the cap but I think it’s important at least for young teams.
KG sums up why those older teams actually could compete with and beat today's teams. Sure, today's teams are more versatile, better shooters, and better ball handlers, but IQ (some from practice), killer mentality, and work ethic are lacking.
I said that after he let go of are winning team... really felt that way after tibs....like how did he get the job anyway he was average af in the league
100% TRUTH. Are these Bulls players kidding??!....Entitlement. Immaturity. Naive. Selfish. Poor work ethic.....they have the AUDACITY to refuse to practice!! Especially day after losing by 56!!!! DISGRACEFUL. SHAMEFUL. KG/Chuck/Kenny said everything right. These Chicago Brats players NEED to hear this and deserve ALL the criticism they're getting. Serious reality check.
There's no context, the Bulls played a game, then they had a practice with heavy conditioning the next day, then because they were so tired, they lost by 50 points against the Celtics. This is the Jim Boylen Bulls, and he has no idea what he's doing, I feel these retired players are shitting on the young ones cause they wanna spin this narrative of this generation is soft. It's not like the Bulls lost by 50, then they said no to practice cause they're lazy, they lost by 50 because they were fatigued by practice.
@@AirunDevon garpax has killed the team by not making any moves for years. Who is the last big name free agent they signed that wasn't a bum when they got there? Ben wallace? Carlos boozer? They got lucky lucky when they got the 1 pick for rose, amc then didn't build around him which led him to having to do everything and getting hurt
@@AirunDevon One of the jobs of a GM is to set the tone for the entire organization, and the tone that John Paxson sets is one of total petulance and lack of personal responsibility. John Paxson is a man who punches his coach and then sweeps the incident under the rug, in an incident that would've gotten any other GM fired. He's a man who hires Gar Foreman to act as as puppet GM to take all the criticism for him, while he pulls strings behind the scenes in secret and without accountability. This is a man who has kept his unqualified useless brother on the payroll for over a decade. This is a guy who once had the toughest, hardest working team in the league and would still constantly undermine them by questioning their toughness in the press whenever they were injured. This is a man who passes on great players and coaches because they don't fit some bizarre idea of "Bulls culture". This is a man who blamed Derrick Rose for not being a good enough salesman when free agents gave the Bulls a pass, instead of taking responsibility himself. This is a man who tried to recruit spies on the team who would secretly report back to him everything that the players were saying among themselves. This is a man who spends more time time covering his own ass than trying to build a champion. This is a man who makes excuses for losing, rather than making a plan for winning. Say what you will about Krause, he was a man who was willing to put everything on the line -- including his own job -- to build a championship team. John Paxson is content to play it safe, keep his job, and to build a team that will win 46 games every few years so that he can keep his job. Fuck John Paxson. That dude should've been fired five years ago. And since you keep asking this question in multiple threads, I'm gonna answer you in multiple threads.
This segment was miles better with KG instead of Shaw. Please make this a permanent change. They were all bang on too with everything they said about entitlement. It’s ruining the game and society in general.
KG putting in work on television. He came a long way from his first Area 21 segments. Hope Shaq expands Shaqtin as a whole show with maybe 3D and his guys, and let KG take the reins on Inside.
kenny was spot on here. if i decide to randomly not show up to my job one day i'm screwing over all of my coworkers cuz now they gotta cover for me and figure out what to do etc. it's the same for basketball

All sports have changed greatly, especially the big 3 (MLB, NBA, NFL). This is not unique to the NBA at all, but it feels more prevalent because the league is growing. Even soccer is getting that way to an extent, but we don't hear about it because it's not big here.
Playing professional sports is one of the hardest jobs in the world period point blank. Also alot of athletes in every era no matter the sport has issues with not working out and entitlement. Shaq did not work out and did not practice and he said that in interviews and Kobe got pissed at him for it so it is not a new school thing it happens no matter what era you grew up in
@@kingaustin6985 no it hasn’t been. It’s hard to become a professional athlete, but their jobs are not hard. There nothing hard about showing up to a 2 hour practice, high school and college kids do it everyday Those are two completely different things🤡
I could run the Bulls franchise better than their current owner. I may be a Bucks fan, but there should be no excuse for any NBA team to lose this badly let alone have their player(s) boycott practice. Whoever tried to boycott the practice shouldn’t be in the NBA playing on any team and should be cut from the team.

These guys are too afraid that if they do well then the current management will get credit; They'll have to have a 'players only' meeting and decide to play basketball for themselves and for the fans instead of making sure the franchise stays in the toilet.
when KG put on a coat why he speak differently than area 21. he high AF on area 21, here he just high
KG looking like a bond villain
PLEASE KEEP KG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
area 21
Hell naw Shaq is way better funny, but add a next seat for KG I enjoy his insights.
J Brown it takes practice, Shaq wasn’t perfect at first, Charles still don’t know what he be talking about lol
shaq did’nt get better a bit since years man! it takes kg a month to make up for inexperience
Qmusic & EricPapilayaTV he’s already there.....he has his own segment. This your first time watching basketball Tony Parker?
Kenny makes a great point. Most of these NBA players have never had a real job before playing in the NBA. Even though the hours, effort, and sweat you put into basketball is like work.
Holy shit I forgot how much weight Chuck lost. Looked like a different person 5 years ago
Funny seeing this from 5 years ago. Pretty coherent and to the point. The generation is just very different. Amplified even more so 5 years later. Guys like KD or James, still playing, still getting coaches fired. And the no practice thing is weird. But players are different today. They don't even want to try to play the 82 game season.
i was about to say shaq looks a lil diffrent
mark Davis he got skinny
This is what happens when you have a league full of one and done babies…..the path to the league/money got easier and the passion is gone.
and an having a basketball association that has stripped away defense. Defense has always been about hard work
Bro Zach Lavine has been balling out. Don't blame him
Vincent 2099 true.
@@Vincent-ld2bp Have you been actually watching the games or just looking at the stat sheet?? 2 different stories
@@kyleholcomb8115 No and I can't. But he's young dude. He's one if the only guys that's a totally worth his contract
Kobe would’ve just shook his head in disbelief.
You know you're old when you find it amazing that KG is saying "these kids"
Love listening to these guys! Damn shame the way these young bucks are coming up not just in the NBA...
Chuck is always right. Laurie Markennan, for example
Yeah, I definitely wasn’t expecting him to end up being this good
Can we fire shaq? People like KG and CWebb are much better at this type of role. Shaq does not articulate his points that greatly. Gets very defensive and egotistical and resorts to bullying barkley whenever he can
STOP IT KENNY, STOP IT
Gambit chuck I got rings
Shaq has always been awful. Nothing new.
I don't think I'd watch this without shaq bullying chuck
Connor Mack how many rings you got? I got 4. You never been to the finals back to back like i have.
The things said in this segment were words of wisdom. This generation should really listen to what was just said about their attitudes and whining. Be responsible, pay your dues, be respectful, be mindful of others, and don't always think about yourself.
Give Zach his props he’s putting up 20+ a game !!!!!
And ?
Someone has to..
And playing GREAT defense, right?
Damn, they always sleeping on Zach
Look how the tables turned 🤗
KG was really good in this segment
Kenny made an excellent point. I’m not sure if most if not all of these guys have ever had a real job or real responsibilities before. All they’ve really had to focus on was basketball and school. I imagine that at a certain point you can develop a selfish, entitled and shallow outlook on everything.
5:42 Wow powerful comment
It’s so weird seeing them sitting so close together now
bro right
I thought I was the only one 😂
Hard foul? Players get ejected because they stare at refs. Come on man be real.
@Kat Williams so hitting a dude because you're getting outplayed is better?
Had you been physical the whole game maybe you wouldn't be losing.
@Kat Williams I know. But the context seems suspect.
Play hard the whole game.
Also there's a fine line between hard and dirty.
If you can't figure out how to foul hard without getting a Flagrant 1, then maybe you shouldn't be in the NBA. Or maybe you should get a flagrant 2 and be ejected, just to fire up your team like Jason Smith did for the New Orleans Hornets against the Clippers in 2012.
I wouldn’t want to practice on that team either but I also wouldn’t want to sign with a team that’s known to have an awful front office. The fact they paid Lavine shows that. He’s not a star.
Charles always says the league needs to keep more old guys around to teach incoming players to do things the right way like Moses and Dr. J taught him and he’s right. I know it’s hard to waste spots with the cap but I think it’s important at least for young teams.
KG sums up why those older teams actually could compete with and beat today's teams. Sure, today's teams are more versatile, better shooters, and better ball handlers, but IQ (some from practice), killer mentality, and work ethic are lacking.
Agreed 100 percent
One of their best segments
Kenny nailed it!
I'm sure steph and klay back in the gym after that grizzlies game
Thank God we have the Bears to make up for the Bulls...and Blackhawks.
Lmao
It's so nice to hear chuck talk without getting cut off
NBA is a lower quality than before.
This segment was cleaaaan
and now Jim Boylen has been fired...
Holy shit i didn’t notice KG was in Shaq’s spot until he started speaking 🤣🤣🤣
The suit looks like’s Shaq’s too lmao
Fire John paxson
I said that after he let go of are winning team... really felt that way after tibs....like how did he get the job anyway he was average af in the league
He hit da game winning 3 in da finals against Charles Barkley. Bulls not firing him
I don’t even follow the Bulls, but I can’t think of a GM worse than Paxson. He legit sucks ass.
@@JoshuaFrick3 jim paxson is bad too 😂
@@gambinoblu1589 yeah I know been in charge since 2003 it's time to go and he didn't even hire thibs reisndorf did.
Chuck deserves an Oscar for this one he's exactly right about the culture of today....thank round mound of rebound
an oscar is for movies. an emmy is what you mean.
LOL I swear Barkley cracks me up 7:33 "he's coach of the year."
100% TRUTH.
Are these Bulls players kidding??!....Entitlement. Immaturity. Naive. Selfish. Poor work ethic.....they have the AUDACITY to refuse to practice!! Especially day after losing by 56!!!! DISGRACEFUL. SHAMEFUL. KG/Chuck/Kenny said everything right. These Chicago Brats players NEED to hear this and deserve ALL the criticism they're getting. Serious reality check.
There's no context, the Bulls played a game, then they had a practice with heavy conditioning the next day, then because they were so tired, they lost by 50 points against the Celtics. This is the Jim Boylen Bulls, and he has no idea what he's doing, I feel these retired players are shitting on the young ones cause they wanna spin this narrative of this generation is soft. It's not like the Bulls lost by 50, then they said no to practice cause they're lazy, they lost by 50 because they were fatigued by practice.
#GarPax have killed this team, the sooner they go the better
Please explain how GarPax have killed this team.
AirunDevon I’m not sure he has the time to fully explain, it would be a novel. What hasn’t GarPax done to kill the team is the better question.
@@AirunDevon garpax has killed the team by not making any moves for years. Who is the last big name free agent they signed that wasn't a bum when they got there? Ben wallace? Carlos boozer? They got lucky lucky when they got the 1 pick for rose, amc then didn't build around him which led him to having to do everything and getting hurt
Ilias Mavromatis Big Factz💯💯💯
@@AirunDevon One of the jobs of a GM is to set the tone for the entire organization, and the tone that John Paxson sets is one of total petulance and lack of personal responsibility. John Paxson is a man who punches his coach and then sweeps the incident under the rug, in an incident that would've gotten any other GM fired. He's a man who hires Gar Foreman to act as as puppet GM to take all the criticism for him, while he pulls strings behind the scenes in secret and without accountability. This is a man who has kept his unqualified useless brother on the payroll for over a decade. This is a guy who once had the toughest, hardest working team in the league and would still constantly undermine them by questioning their toughness in the press whenever they were injured. This is a man who passes on great players and coaches because they don't fit some bizarre idea of "Bulls culture". This is a man who blamed Derrick Rose for not being a good enough salesman when free agents gave the Bulls a pass, instead of taking responsibility himself. This is a man who tried to recruit spies on the team who would secretly report back to him everything that the players were saying among themselves. This is a man who spends more time time covering his own ass than trying to build a champion. This is a man who makes excuses for losing, rather than making a plan for winning.
Say what you will about Krause, he was a man who was willing to put everything on the line -- including his own job -- to build a championship team. John Paxson is content to play it safe, keep his job, and to build a team that will win 46 games every few years so that he can keep his job. Fuck John Paxson. That dude should've been fired five years ago.
And since you keep asking this question in multiple threads, I'm gonna answer you in multiple threads.
KG was very well spoken....👏👏
This segment was miles better with KG instead of Shaw. Please make this a permanent change. They were all bang on too with everything they said about entitlement. It’s ruining the game and society in general.
KG putting in work on television. He came a long way from his first Area 21 segments. Hope Shaq expands Shaqtin as a whole show with maybe 3D and his guys, and let KG take the reins on Inside.
Shaq only sometimes works because of Chuck.
It’s starts with the owners
Damn! I want more KG on here but not at the expense of no Shaq! KG's just great :)
Don’t mind me, just watching this seeing how our Bulls have changed and we got rid of those clowns Gar/Pax and Jim Boylen
The only good point I’ve ever heard from Kenny
I love Chuck man after a 50 point loss you ain't gonna have a day off ANYWHERE shit
kenny was spot on here. if i decide to randomly not show up to my job one day i'm screwing over all of my coworkers cuz now they gotta cover for me and figure out what to do etc. it's the same for basketball
I love what Kenny said: how many of these players have worked a real job?
Too bad Allen Iverson wasn’t in the studio
I always love Kenny's insight
Hey Bulls players, get used to saying THESE words : “would you like fries 🍟 with that?”
KG on the court is a dawg, KG in a suit is a full on caballero
Minnesota messed up so bad not putting KG in the front office after he retired.
NBA players are 80% kids who knows nothing about anything but think they know cuz Twitter. what a news.. like it was new.
vulcainI80, more like 97% including many superstars.
And 99.9% of people on RUclips love saying shit like this as if he/she actually knows the 80% of nba kids who don’t know anything. Just shut up if you don’t know what your talking about.
@@tristanbuchanan27 This person probably doesn't actually know that 80% of NBA kids don't know anything but I agree with their thought that a majority of kids and young adults think they know more than they really do because of social media platforms like Twitter.
So everyone
Bulls fan here, we’re gonna need another segment like this with the current state of the team.
NBA ain't the NBA anymore. You heard it here, folks.
yes. and add the other leagues.
Best point Kenny has ever made on the work responsibility
I literally would've traded the entire team after this.
Kenny speaking straight facts!!
Anyone peep the the moment of silence for the fart at 48 sec lmao 😂😂😂
Chuck predicted Lauri Markannen's future here
KG meanwhile just falls back on criticizing younger generations, no wonder he wasn't given a org position.
Nah KG was right, these players have been spoiled too much for a while now
@@MoralesCornerye the league is kindan spoiled rn because most of these players have money growing up
Yea, like wtf we have paul george getting paid 50 million mfer has stars and complaining, and be like omg i had this and that these dudes are just getting paid too much, too much money to do nothing @@MoralesCorner
@@dxtremecaliberyea just goi pvt jett in aau imagine damn
Why I don’t care for the NBA today. I grew up in the 80s and 90s, no sport has changed more then the NBA.
Jimmy K more than football
All sports have changed greatly, especially the big 3 (MLB, NBA, NFL). This is not unique to the NBA at all, but it feels more prevalent because the league is growing. Even soccer is getting that way to an extent, but we don't hear about it because it's not big here.
The stupid 3 point line is killing the sport
The Bulls Gordon had a triple single!!!
Bulls are soft as hell. no pride no self respect
Playing professional sports is one of the hardest jobs in the world period point blank. Also alot of athletes in every era no matter the sport has issues with not working out and entitlement. Shaq did not work out and did not practice and he said that in interviews and Kobe got pissed at him for it so it is not a new school thing it happens no matter what era you grew up in
No it’s not
@@Butterratbee yes it is and that has been proven Statistically and everything else by the way 👍✌️
@@kingaustin6985 no it hasn’t been 🙏
@@Butterratbee yes it has been 👍✌️🙌
@@kingaustin6985 no it hasn’t been. It’s hard to become a professional athlete, but their jobs are not hard. There nothing hard about showing up to a 2 hour practice, high school and college kids do it everyday
Those are two completely different things🤡
Kenny talks like a real estate agent!! Mr NYC in the house 🏠... ✊🏽✊🏽
I could run the Bulls franchise better than their current owner. I may be a Bucks fan, but there should be no excuse for any NBA team to lose this badly let alone have their player(s) boycott practice. Whoever tried to boycott the practice shouldn’t be in the NBA playing on any team and should be cut from the team.
Gamer Guy Joe maybe in 2k lol
If the players quit on you, you can’t
@@sixpack1385 You can always send them to d-league and call up those boys. You're loosing every-night anyways, at least you'd make a statement.
Charles is 100 percent on par.
