This weekend, the Clippers traveled to Dallas, and it was the third outing of James Harden in its new colors. On arrival, one more defeat for the Clippers, and on the microphone, a consultant from the Bally Sports channel unleashed himself on the Clippers rookie. Here is an extract from the editorial by Brian Dameris, former manager of the Mavericks, very angry against James Harden. This goes on two minutesand here is just the conclusion.
“Look, James, have you ever had friends who had bad roommates? They constantly complain about their bad roommates. Like, “This guy is terrible!” “. Except they didn’t realize that they were the bad roommate, that they were the problem. Well, James, YOU are the problem! If it doesn’t work this year, in this system, with this team, you’re going to point the finger at everyone else again, then go home and start going to another team. There will be no one left because James, you are not “The Beard”, you are not the system, you are the problem! “.
This footage has been viewed millions of times on social media since this weekend, but it no longer appears on official Bally Sports accounts.
A strange mix of genres
For what ? Because the channel has decided to remove it from all its platforms! Strange since it went viral, and the journalist is not insulting, and says out loud what many are thinking quietly.
Sports Illustrated reports that the Harden camp hasn’t even contacted the network for pressure. Nor the NBA. This is an internal decision at Bally Sports, official broadcaster of Mavericks matches. We explain that this editorial goes against ” values ” of the chain, and that it “does not reflect the Dallas franchise”.
A rather strange argument since the channel is independent, and covers the matches of several franchises: Atlanta, Charlotte, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, Indiana, LA Clippers, Memphis, Miami, Milwaukee, Minnesota, New Orleans, Oklahoma City, Orlando and San Antonio. That’s half of the NBA teams.
