NBA on TNT’s Adam Lefkoe talks ‘CNN Sports’ breaking news on Doc Rivers
"So we probably had about two minutes, and I was like 'Where is this coming from?' And they're like 'CNN.'"
"So we probably had about two minutes, and I was like 'Where is this coming from?' And they're like 'CNN.'"
"I know the Doc thing came across as personal, of course it was personal, because I played for him for four years."
"I got the impression that JJ Redick’s words weren’t just coming from him."
"Do fans actually want to be educated or not?"
"It's just very ironic and kind of weird that you have this energy toward him, in terms of him never, ever being accountable considering he was always responsible."
"Definitely seems like JJ has something personal against Doc!!"
JJ Redick blasted former ESPN analyst Doc Rivers on Tuesday. NBA player Pat Beverley responded, but so did Redick.
"There's just never accountability with that guy."
Former ESPN NBA analyst Doc Rivers now coaches the Milwaukee Bucks, but if it were up to him, that decision would have been made later.
"It’s hard, man. Like Doc [Rivers] as a player … Me and Doc have a good relationship, but I’ve never heard anybody say anything good about Doc -- a player."
"I didn’t even have to fight my own battles with ignorance, yall corrected it for me!!"
"I hope for the kid that he's able to not only play in the NBA, but play somewhere where he can branch out his own identity."
Andrew Marchand reports that ESPN might add JJ Redick to their lead NBA team, but that move wouldn't come until after the All-Star Break.
"You broke up Van Gundy, Jackson and Breen. You put together this group which still hasn’t gelled, and now he’s gone. So, what do you do?"
Breen and Doris Burke are "heartbroken" but excited for Rivers.
"Doc Rivers has been … a charismatic con man in terms of coaching."
Per Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports, ESPN is "leaning towards" a two-person top team of Mike Breen and Doris Burke.
Rivers was humble, passionate and celebratory about a league in the NBA that needs that desperately from its analysts.
TNT is reporting that TNT's reporting is wrong.
CNN hasn't had a sports presence in decades, yet somehow they broke the news of Doc Rivers coaching the Milwaukee Bucks?
"The number one ability is availability."
"Despite what was written even about some talent changes at ESPN, the league does not have a say there."
