The conflict I’m reading about is between the coach and the club president. The coach openly spoke about the president signing players without discussing with him, refusing to charter flights, refusing to pay for business class for his players, and at one point not talking to the coach at all.

Some additional context is:

1. The team is half black (8 of 16 players)
2. The team’s top 7 players by MPG are black. They account for 88% of the team’s minutes.
3. The coach is considered the greatest in Euroleague history while the players haven’t really accomplished anything

It seems reasonable that they would take the coach’s side. And if they are going to boo people, it’s probably going to be majority against the players playing nearly 90% of the minutes.

What are you talking about??? I hate Obradovic but he has never been accused of any kind of racism or discrimination (as far as I can remember anyway)

Do you know something i don’t or just pulling it out of your ass out of nowhere? Because the team has like 6 or more ex NBA players who are black and fans were booking 3 of them specifically afaik

you cant just throw stuff like that around, especially because its not true.

Y’all are insane. The players were not really the biggest target, rather the board.

That’s not an intentional thing I think. Could be a mental block, could be chance, idk

He’s durable af and has given effort even in horrible situations. Plays through injury whenever he can. What more can the fans want, he tries his best

Maybe because of league pass and how accessible games were but I think the OKC big 3 is where we first saw “Stan culture” take over basketball where fans cared more about players than team success.

Harden and Russ are two of the best regular season players ever but I remember when Harden had people saying he was better than Kobe. And for regular season play there’s definitely a case. I see a lot of people have Russ over CP3 all-time which is crazy to me.

The ringzzz culture has shifted so far where it seems like people don’t care about winning basketball and more about regular season stats.

Playoff basketball and regular season basketball are almost two different sports. Bill Simmons says a lot of crazy shit but his “82 game player” and “16 game player”is absolutely correct.

Players don’t care as much in the regular season but I’m pretty sure basketball is the only one where Vegas prop odds will change substantially if a player is playing a former team because he will probably try harder.

Heat-Magic over under is 241.5. If this was the postseason the over under may be around 200.

That’s true. But I think he grew from that.

White people really do age like milk 🤣

Putting this whole situation to the side, Jabari is abymsal this year.

He’s a cone on defense who gets lost on nearly every play.

On offense he shoots and misses a lot, even good looks, and got blocked by the rim on a dunk attempt more than once.

He’s way out of shape and unfocused, and out of all the players who get consistent minutes, he’s the worst on both sides of the ball.

Yea but he doesnt have any friends

Like 7 years ago? I don’t think one rough interview when he was 23 suggests attitude issues

With the recent Chris Paul debacle, the nba has a HUGE accountability problem. Head coaches are more diva personality managers than anything else right now 

I remember when the Bucks had Bud and some idiot kept spamming in the Bucks sub that they should ditch Bud for him.

What flies over there will definitely not fly here.

Yeah, you generally have to win over the players at least a little bit.

He is not the only one though https://youtu.be/w_2vwOngzls?si=nGfXFaNrn7sqjYWy

JJ screams at his players all the time. Including Lebron

Željko Obradović has won a record nine EuroLeague titles with five different clubs: Partizan (1992), Joventut Badalona (1994), Real Madrid (1995), Panathinaikos (2000, 2002, 2007, 2009, 2011), and Fenerbahce (2017). He is the most decorated coach in EuroLeague history, bringing the first title to Partizan, Joventut, Panathinaikos, and Fenerbahce. 

He’s just a phenomenal coach as he has done it in multiple environments with different players.

Seems like they are jumping to conclusions though. I really doubt a few washed up NBA players have the sway to get rid of a legendary coach like that. It’s more likely something management related.

Even LeGeNdArY CoAcHes can lose the locker room.

They clearly feel the coach is more dedicated to the team, it’s very refreshing to see how engaged and community based euro fans are.

Just telling you how europeans think you fucking clown.

Learn to read.

these arent good things but yr argument still makes no sense lol

I meah sure there’s a possibility that one of the greatest coaches ever is washed

or there’s another possibility that the ex nba players are being divas

im saying that I’d place my money on one possibility being a lot more likely than the other
