“Do you think people don’t look at your overall game—your defense, your rebounding, your assists—do you think you’re disrespected in that aspect?” asked the Boston Globe's Gary Washburn, directly referencing the online discourse that had consumed Boston Celtics media following the Game 2 loss.
Washburn knows that NBA players, specifically those of this generation, cannot possibly avoid online discourse, nor can they totally block out the noise, judgements, or demands.
