Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye would be amazing.

He just didn’t have “it”. Can’t blame ESPN

Not my typical evening but I dont care one way or the other about this too much.

Sure but “not illegal” might not be ESPN’s expected minimum standard of conduct.

I have no doubt he's in hot water at work because of that. I did say it wasn't a good look to put that stuff on Instagram.

In this age of social media, if you can't be discrete with your private life, good luck.

Edit; Nvm he's fired lol. Didn't notice the update. I'm not surprised.

I’m sure they didn’t need much of an excuse at this point. He’s always been an atrocious analyst.

He should have been fired for his terrible analysis, not for this IG crap.

ESPN owned by Disney, more relevant.

Virtue signal cancel culture. Is that supposed to be meaningful as social critique? Sounds like urban dictionary bullsht.

There’s far worse things to signal than virtue. Such a lazy catch-all term for people that can’t articulate their thoughts. In my experience, people who promote virtuous things are generally the ones that also do them.
