James Worthy, NBA Hall of Famer, does not like what he sees from the game today.
and voiced is frustrations with modern professional basketball, saying the “rush” of players spending less time in college is hurting the sport at the next level.
“So you learned the fundamentals,” Worthy said. “Not only that, you learned how to live. You learned how to balance your freaking checkbook in college, there’s a lot of things. When you don’t get that, guys are coming to the NBA who are not fundamentally sound. All they do is practice threes, lift weights, get tattoos, tweet and go on social media. That’s it.”James Worthy blasted the modern-day NBA.“So you don’t have that sound player; you have an athletic player.
“The Lakers, I think they have refused to build over the years,” Worthy explained. “We’ve had some good players: [Brandon] Ingram, Randle, [Lonzo] Ball. We have tried to win quickly. In Kobe’s last few years, we brought in [Steve] Nash who was a little bit older, Dwight Howard came in with a back injury. We traded away draft picks to try to win immediately and I think they’re going to have really think about how they need to build.
