NBA great Mitch Richmond responded to Lakers coach JJ Redick's criticism of Hall of Famer Larry Bird
Hall of Famer Mitch Richmond has heard about all the videos on the Internet of fans saying they are "done with the `90s."
It is a movement that says players from yesterday are unable to keep pace with today's game. They say Michael Jordan would struggle against the new school. They feel LeBron James would dominate the 1980s."I think it's very disrespectful, no question about it," Richmond said in an interview with Back In The Day Hoops On SI.
Richmond especially took exception to players like Gilbert Arenas and JJ Redick bashing the past. In recent years, Redick has taken aim at Larry Bird. Redick, now the Los Angeles Lakers coach, said Bird wasn't one of the best five 3-point shooters in NBA history."I've heard a couple of players like JJ Redick say something stupid about the players," Richmond said. "I just think it's idiotic to always disrespect the people who came before you.
