Lakers Video: Charles Barkley Responds To JJ Redick Calling Out Media For Criticizing NBA

A couple weeks ago, Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick spoke about the state of the NBA today as there has been a lot of criticism over the on-court product. Redick pushed back against many of the critiques, expressing his belief that teams are not all doing the same things along with the idea that the increase in 3-pointers is ruining the game.

Redick also called out the media as a whole for the constant criticisms, especially as it pertains to dwindling ratings. The Lakers coach feels that if fans are constantly hearing on TV that the NBA sucks right now, they’ll believe it too and stop watching.
