NBA playoffs

  • No Comment, No Problem

    Once, when I was covering the Chicago Bulls, Scottie Pippen decided to boycott the media.

    It took several weeks for anybody to notice.

    It wasn’t that Scottie didn’t speak to us before that. He did. But we recognized those who were especially quotable and those, like Scottie, who were somewhat deficient.

    I bring this up because much has been made by what two NBA players have not said over the last few days.

    LeBron James has drawn much criticism after he walked off the court without congratulating his opponents following his Cleveland team’s loss to Orlando in the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday night. He was taken to task further for not speaking to reporters after the game.
