Charles Barkley was in for a rude awakening when he wanted to hear about the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Final on ESPN on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the day, ESPN\u2019s Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news that the Lakers were \u201ctargeting\u201d UConn basketball coach Danny Hurley for their vacant head coach job \u2014 a stunner given there had been no smoke there previously and all signs had pointed to Wojnarowski\u2019s colleague JJ Redick being the guy \u2014 and it became the primary talking point on the network for much of the day.<\/p>\n
Barkley appeared on OutKick\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t @ Me\u201d with Dan Dakich on Friday and when asked about Hurley, he immediately launched into how upset he was with ESPN for fixating on him so much during their talk shows. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not going to lie. I love Dan Hurley. This has nothing to do with Dan Hurley and good luck with him if he goes to the Lakers. But I was so pissed,\u201d Barkley began. <\/p>\n
\u201cWith Game 1 of the Finals and Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals coming on [Saturday] \u2014 for them to spend the first hour talking about what if Danny Hurley goes to the Lakers? I was so pissed yesterday. I had to turn my TV off. I\u2019m not going to lie. I\u2019m like, this is how stupid they are. <\/p>\n
\u201cY\u2019all got The Stanley Cup Finals and the NBA Finals and y\u2019all are talking about a team that\u2019s irrelevant. And I\u2019m like, whoever\u2019s doing that programming have got to be the stupidest, most bone-headed people in the world. I\u2019m like, if he goes, [then] we\u2019ll talk about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Barkley continued to question the people who were making the call to discuss Hurley instead of the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut to just go in there and blow air for an hour and then say, \u2018Oh, by the way, we got Game 1 of the Finals coming up tonight.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Who in the hell is running that programming over there?’\u201d he asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cI was like, OK, there\u2019s nothing but speculation. But you got Game 1 of the Finals and you got Game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs, which I\u2019m really pumped about because, you got Florida, who lost in the finals last year, and you got a whole country of people [in Canada] and you got those games as a network, and you spent the whole time talking about what if Danny Hurley goes to the Lakers? <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m like, what kind of idiots are running this network? I said, that was crazy. Like I say, I love Danny Hurley. I love his family. I love his story. I love it because he\u2019s a basketball purist, but I just thought it was so stupid of ESPN yesterday. It\u2019s like, wait a minute, y\u2019all got the biggest game of the NBA season coming on tonight. And y\u2019all spent the first hour talking about if Dan Hurley goes to the Lakers. I was like, come on man.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
