Lakers coach JJ Redick went on a bit of a tangent last month about how an overly critical media might be partially responsible for a decline in NBA ratings this season.
Charles Barkley, a basketball Hall of Famer and longtime analyst on TNT’s “Inside the NBA” show, apparently took Redick’s words personally and delivered a rant of his own two weeks later.
As Barkley and company were showing the highlights from the Boston Celtics’ 118-115 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night, host Ernie Johnson commented on the high number of three-point shots (96) attempted during the game.
