Charles Barkley Rips JJ Redick for NBA Coverage Comments

Charles Barkley strongly criticized JJ Redick’s comments on the state of NBA coverage during a recent episode of “Inside the NBA.” The remarks, made by Redick in a pregame media session last month, sparked a heated reaction from the TNT analyst.

Redick stated that the storytelling aspect of the game is lacking and that the game should be celebrated more. He also argued that people are too focused on criticizing the league rather than praising its accomplishments. Barkley took umbrage with Redick’s comments, labeling him “just a dead man walking” in reference to his perceived lack of influence.

Barkley felt that Redick was trying to change the narrative without offering a comprehensive solution. He also disputed Redick’s assertion that people are too focused on Twitter, suggesting that some fans do have a strong desire to discuss and celebrate the game. The Lakers coach is next scheduled to appear on “Inside the NBA” alongside Barkley and host Ernie Johnson, which could lead to further discussion about the comments.
