Jerry West calls JJ Redick’s ‘plumbers and firemen’ comment ‘disrespectful’ to Bob Cousy

Jerry West isn’t happy with J.J. Redick. The Hall of Famer took offense to Redick’s comments in April when Redick downplayed Bob Cousy’s accolades by claiming Cousy “was being guarded by plumbers and firemen” when discussing the Boston Celtics guard’s legacy versus that of Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul on ESPN. West went for the jugular in his rebuttal of Redick’s claim by pointing out Redick’s career relative to Cousy’s. “I know J.J. just a little bit, he’s a very smart kid and everything, but… Source link

Antetokounmpo made it clear he wasn’t a fan of how the refs officiated the game, but wisely did not get into specifics so he could save some money. Is that enough to warrant a fine anyway?

Sean McDermott clarifies comment on Bill Belichick

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott respects New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick. McDermott attempted to walk back a quote from earlier in the season where he appeared to take a shot at Belichick after the Patriots beat the Bills.  Following Buffalo’s loss in Week 13, McDermott said, “Let’s not give more credit than we need to give credit to Bill Belichick in this one.” It came off as petulant considering Belichick’s Patriots just won the game.  McDermott said he never meant it… Source link
