Did anyone else hear Rick Barry DIGGIN' IN ROB PARKERS' CHEST TODAY??

[Taadow]

I heard this live, and YIKES...

Chirbit [HMWLM] RIck Barry goes in on on-air personality Rob Parker

The meat...

Rob: "C'mon Rick - you gotta stop-"

Rick: "No, YOU GOTTA STOP because you don't know the game. If you're saying
that, you don't know the game and you should be ashamed of yourself."

Rob: "Rick i'm not - no no no, if been covering basketball forever-"

Rick: "I don't care HOW LONG you've been covering it - you didn't play the game. And if
you make that comment you don't know the game..."

Rob: "...and you know what? You don't know radio, and you don't know journalism...

Rick: "No, I know radio...i've done radio for years, I have more experience broadcasting than you have..."

Rob: "NO YOU DON'T, NO YOU DON'T...you're a basketball player. You guys kill me.
It's always the same thing (mocking): "you didn't play basketball, so you don't know basketball"...

Rick: "...oh yeah, that's exactly right - because you didn't play the game, and that's your excuse
and you're gonna wail about the fact that I bring that up...

Rob: "that's ridiculous, Rick. It's RIDICULOUS, Rick. No. No, respect journalism and respect
the fact that people...

Rick: "You're a LOSER, forget it."

Rob: "No YOU are. You're a loser, Rick. HANG UP ON HIM..."

 

[Taadow]

Later, Rob said he's been watching basketball for 31 years...
Rick said he should go to church and light candles in thanks that somebody is paying him for that
because his opinion isn't better than anyone elses' who's watched basketball for that long.

They were talmbat Game 3 of course, and they got to whether or not Bron should've kept the ball instead of passing
it to Korver.

Rob was like: "Bron shoulda kept it, he's the man, Jordan would've never, etc....
Rick was like: "Korver is one of the greatest shooters in the league and he was open, Bron made a good basketball decision
so get off his back..."

Two things from this after listening.

1.) That was not cornball Brotha Rob Parker, guess nobody was gonna point that out? I also envisioned Rick Mahorn for some reason

2.) Rick was WRONG. Reading the transcript I didn't think that, but he sounded in the wrong when I listened. Rick shouldn't have gotten emotional over an opinion, in my opinion, which I feel is more of a fact than opinion but whatevs...
