[NBA on ESPN] The moment Charles Barkley and the crew found out that Dallas dismissed Jason Kidd as head coach.
Jason’s firing would’ve got announced earlier if Prime had today’s game
Love how Barkley took care of the towel without missing a beat.
great comedic timing throwing the towel haha
Kenny bring me my water towel
Always wear your towel in the steam room.
Especially when a guy’s banging you.
And you can feel his body
Come on…💀
And his girth and tonnage
And then he gives you a bracelet …
Because them young boys coming
Love Charles
But I’m kinda shocked he cares enough about the NBA to have notifications on for stuff like this.
i think maybe he always has his phone on and a homie texted
I’m so confused where does this narrative come from??
I’m not saying he has rosters memorized or anything or that I would ask him GM esque questions and expect him to have good answers, but I have never once gotten the impression he doesn’t care. He definitely loves the game
Now Shaq on the other hand…
Bro he has said it himself
“Who he play for”
Did the “rosters memorized” not cover that part?
Yeah exactly I’m not saying dude is some no lifer NBA nerd like some of the degenerates on here (myself included) but I def think he loves the game and I like hearing him talk about the players, teams, and coaches he enjoys to watch.

What’s that, once a year ? /s . Chuck is part of the problem, he is more negative about the nba today
He is polite to guests, he is a people person. But for someone whose job it is to talk about/around the nba, he doesn’t have a good work ethic and he tends to tear doen the product
Eh.
Most people in sports media watch the game a ton because they have to appear to be an authority in the space. You can’t be making an argument about why SGA should be MVP over Wemby without watching any games.
Someone like Chuck is already an authority on basketball because he’s a HoFer. Sure he might have some outdated takes and might not keep up with day to day but nobody can say he doesn’t understand the Xs and Os. These journalists still don’t know as much about basketball as Chuck does, only about the peripherals
On his phone when he’s supposed to be working, one of us..
“Well here you go” is sending me bruh 😭😭
Not the first time someone has gotten fired at in Dallas.
You just blew my mind with that reference
Texas is the reason
topical reference!
Lee Harvey Ujiri from the book depository
LLONNG SHOTT GOOOOOOOOOOOD!!
Look out for jack ruby
Outjerked again god damnit
thought i was in CJ sub reading this
Is that an Erykah Badu naked music video reference?
I wonder if he would’ve kept his job if the Mavs tanked just a little bit better. Falling to ninth was pretty brutal given that they would’ve had almost no chance of falling that far if Kidd didn’t let Khris Middleton score 35 points to win them that game against the Grizzlies.
Not that it matters but the last time they had the 9th pick, they ended up taking a 7 foot German prospect.
Sounds like the type of scrub that would lose to an 8 seed warriors in the first round
I believe!
I believed that year as well
The last time they had the 9th pick they ended up taking Dennis Smith Jr lol
that’s NBA all-rookie second team Dennis Smith Jr to you
Touché.
If they find another one, we can have ourselves a classic french german texas rivalry.
this guy will never amount to anything
He was probably being fired regardless tbh. Masai most likely wanted his guy in.
Maybe but it’s harder to see him being fired if they got say the number 3 pick vs looking around and seeing that the options are kind of limited because of the way he coached the team this year.
No it’s not lmao the coach is the coach no matter where we picked. It was time for a fresh start
What do you mean? It was the coach’s bad decisions that put them in a worse position. Why do you think that wouldn’t reflect negatively on him when you’re considering whether to let him go or not?
He did awesome this year. Made Cooper win ROY with a late push but still eeked out a good tank.
Cooper made Cooper win ROY
I feel like Kon in the Play-In game made Cooper the ROY
Yeah but this year’s pick is the last the Mavs control until 2031. They needed to get it right this year.
Well they got a first pick with way worse odds last yr, silver corrected it this year
“Corrected it?” I don’t wanna hear it, that was the first and only time we’ve ever moved up in the lottery
I don’t think they deserve much credit for taking Flagg or Flagg being awesome. Want he consensus #1 pick before the college season even started?
We’re talking about giving Kidd credit for this year’s tank when some of those wins were just not necessary. There was one win at the end that probably won Cooper the award but there were others that probably doomed the team’s future.
Kenny “Oh no! Anyway!” Smith
I don’t get it
it’s funny how Kenny was like “Oh no! anyway”
That’s the comment rephrased
Domestic violence abuser got fired? He had it coming.
Abuser and drunk driver. Cop after his crash said he never saw a vehicle in that condition where the driver survived.
The Adelsons are the good guys IVE BEEN VINDICATED
[deleted]
Less that they forgot and more that it was over 20 years ago and at least to my knowledge hasn’t gotten into shit like that since.
Kenny ICE cold
gladd he got fired.
Is anyone sadd?
Nope, no one madd either.
Not even his dadd?
MADD they didn’t fire him and Nico same time
Might as well have cleaned house same day
Yes.
started watching nba regularly in mid to late 2000s thanks to YES network. After Yankees games they’d sometimes broadcast NJ Nets games. At that time it was J Kidd, Vince Carter, Rich Jeff, Brook Lopez. They were lowkey entertaining so I became a fan. I’ll always root for Jason.
b.A.A.d.d. Kidd, good city
Idk man, teaching Flagg PG like he did with Giannis might pay off huge down the line, though maybe he’s a Mark Jackson type coach that builds the foundation, then needs to GTFO, lol
This is how I felt. We keep him for two years to develop cooper then send him off.
I remember after the trade in the press conference with Nico he said they might bury us in a few years and Jason followed “or we bury ourselves”
Didn’t even take a full 2 years for them to actually bury themselves lol
I think Kidd will have no problem getting hired elsewhere
Ernie looks fly in that suit!
I had the same reaction as Chuck
Shaq: 🙂
Well this is the moment that I am finding out that Dallas has dismissed Jason Kidd as head coach
He just came on his phone
Fucking Kenny throwing the towel anyway lmfao
Not at all shocking
I had the same reaction as Chuck. Just seems late in the game for that move because the Mavs season has been over for a minute now.
Its not actually late in the game just feels that way.
Seems like Kidd wanted to go elsewhere last year.
New GM wants his HC. It was bound to happen
someone over at cj is absolutely going to clip Charles saying “breaking new, just came on my phone”
I feel like with the whole gambling thing this isn’t super shocking
Where do you stream the game? lol. I have ESPN on Disney!
Coop loved Kidd I truly hope this doesn’t mess up his development
Mike brown might just be the first ever coach replaced on the first day of the ECF
Why would the Knicks downgrade to Kidd? lol
It was reported that Kidd was one of the first coaches we were looking at after Thibs was fired
If Brown doesn’t make the finals, that job is Kidd’s
He should come on staff with JJ
So he can trade Luka again?
Mavs fans should enjoy this moment of postseason relevance in the conference finals. It’s all they’ll have for the rest of their existence
