Jerry West wasn’t too happy about JJ Redick “ plumbers “ comments

[ryanmussell]

Thankyou for posting this. The Logo just ended JJ street cred.

[Ummm]

JJ made a career on 3s. He wouldn’t even have a career if he played in the “plumber” era. No one would even give him a shot

[connormacleod]

JJ should thank the pioneers of basketball instead of belittling them.

Jerry West is right let's take away all these new rules, Like dribbling with hand on side of the ball taking a 0 step before the 2 steps aka a 3 steps. Let's take away the 3 point line too. Jj wouldn't even make it.

Jerry woulda put 50 on em with no 3’s 💯💪👏

I have not seen Jerry West so mad in all these years. But this and that show has him tight.

[maximostiberius]

Bottom line is West has been retired since the early 70s. Hes still relevant. Is anyone going to be talking about Reddick 50 years after hes been retired?

What JJ Redick and people who refer to older players as "plumbers" don't understand is, 50 years from now people will make similar ignorant references about Stephen Curry and LeBron James. There will come a time when those guys are irrelevant. I automatically block/mute anyone I see using the term "plumber." People need to stop arguing with these idiots and just ignore them. It's usually just a troll anyway, purposely trying to rile people up.

Finally some context, he was privileged with perks that comes with todays game, and still was a six man at best😂 … stay humble and always respect those who came before you. Zero chips and had the audacity to criticize champions. You can’t make this up

[driveby]

the lesson is show respect and if you are best, you will stand out in your era

10 to 20 years later. No one will remember JJ Reddick. But they will remember Bob Cousy, Jerry West and all those legends who made the NBA possible today.

Counter criticism doesn't take away from the message!

[princeamu]

It’s a problem with a lot of the youth. American culture as a whole doesn’t have a lot of respect for older people.

[jimkuhn]

Can you imagine if Jerry could of carried the ball and traveled like the players of 2day ??? And in Jerry's day they played defense.... Just think of the $$$$ a at best average player like JJ has made in 2days over paid players. What a joke...

[whodatjt]

Jerry West would have made JJ cry like his b**** a** did in college

[quincybryant]

You want a dude to support his family on 5 to 10 thousand a year? Even with inflation that’s 50 to 100 thousand. What about end of the bench dudes. Or second rd dudes who became stars who signed bad deals. Willis Reed was a second rd pic out of a HBC.

[gregorymaxwell]

Cousy would have broken JJ's ankles if Reddick had to guard him.

[mclovinjwst]

This is such an interesting take. JJ made such a disrespectful comment, some ppl don't understand they laid the foundation. It's because of them the NBA is even as popular as it is today.

[larrytaylor]

The players today made me stop watching.

Even your mobile phone started with buttons before evolving to what you enjoy today same with sports like NBA so stop comparing and belittling your elders who faced the hardships and paved the way for you to enjoy the improvements and good things you enjoy in life right now those "plumbers and firemen" are getting less than the guys mopping the floor in a game nowadays
