Ex-Celtics assistant, player Evan Turner calls out the media

Former Boston Celtics player and assistant Evan Turner recently shared his frustration with reporters who critique players and coaches without having an in-depth understanding of the game via having played it. In the conversation on the Athletic “NBA Show” podcast, Turner pointed out the hypocrisy when such reporters expect players and coaches to accept their criticism without having access to all of the information that may be involved in a given situation.

He suggests that while players and coaches should share information to help reporters better understand the game, journalists should also accurately convey the insights they receive. ET acknowledged the necessity for a balanced exchange of insights between athletes and journalists for fair and comprehensive coverage but believes the status quo needs improvement.
