Stephon Marbury has a problem with analysts that never played pro basketball

He’s right though

I understand what he means but I disagree. That's like saying you can't be a great coach if you never played the sport.

I mean it's a funny quote that makes some sense.

But athletes who can't speak or make sense bother me as analysts and announcers too.

 

[PortCityProphet]

Seems like he's talking about himself personally, not in general. And he's right "analysts" who never played cant tell a pro shyt

Trying too hard breh.

Siragusa and Collinsworth bother me more than Webber and Reggie Miller.

 

[Piff Huxtable]

Well he has a point

 

[L&HH]

The game has changed a lot since Marbury was playing... I'm not saying his opinion isn't valuable but what exactly can he talk to us about the modern game?

I don't agree, it's like telling LeBron to shut up and dribble because he's never ran for office he should shut up about politics.

If the criteria was you had to play the game at a high level to be able to talk about it and analyze the game. Y'all need to go ahead and shut down the coliseum

Right, but we aren’t being paid by billion dollar networks to provide our analysis on the sport.

Dumb analogy. Bron was speaking on social issues which we all deal with and experience. He wasn't talking about the ins and outs of diplomacy or making treaties. If that was the case then your analogy might hold water.

Marbury is right. Unless you played in the NBA you shouldn't be an analyst. You don't have the experience or knowledge to talk about the game.
