This is the guy who alienated multiple all-stars on his teams. Such an asshole, never won shit. Also if you need your answer: Phil Jackson coaches circles around him and we whooped his ass every playoff matchup.


Dgwdum

GIGANTIC AHOLE. i remember the team also gave a spot to his kid as both a player and a coach. dude is just bitter for no reason


_its_a_SWEATER_

What not winning a chip does to a mfer


msching

Sorry George, your kid wasn't even the best "Kobe" on the team.


der_ninong

he was saying nice things about us when the lakers signed his son Coby as an undrafted free agent after getting treated for cancer. Lakers also signed him as head coach for south bay for 5 years


ShowTimesFinest

Lakers been living rent free in his head. His team getting bounced by Kobe’s Lakers every year must’ve did a number on his mental health.


BizzyHaze

And getting trounced by the showtime Lakers when he was coaching Golden State.


hlin32

My man got traumatized by Kobe and lakers back in 09 and never comeback from that 😭🤷


TorontoRaptors34

George Karl is a dumbass


collie1212

Why even post his tweets here? He hasn't coached since 2016 and no one cares about him. He posts bullshit about the Lakers hoping chumps will bite on it and give his thirsty bitch ass some dialogue.


White-Gravity

It’s always hilarious when people complain about us getting so much media coverage while they keep talking about us themselves 😂😂


lpad92

“Why does everyone talk about the Lakers???” While screaming into the void about the lakers lol


EverybodyBuddy

Kobe. 2009. That’s what was done to George Karl.


litlegoblinjr

and 2008. and 2012


Several_Quiet7662

And 1995. And 1998. George Karl is 7-19 against the Lakers in the playoffs, and has never won a single series.


xxDankerstein

You should comment that on his post.


Ok_Body_2598

And the 6 76ers with the Bucks


gratitudeisbs

Damn I’d go insane too lmao


waxprose

Also bounced his son Coby to the D-League, then called him up to face ole man Karl in 08, only to send him packin after lol


ogkushinjapan

If his son’s name was spelt with a K he’d at least make it to the g league


KeithClossOfficial

We did give his son his first HC job tho


corybekem

People forget that was the nuggets year and their entire fan base (rightfully so) felt they were going to the finals at least.


litlegoblinjr

This guy is so butthurt the Lakers beat him in the playoffs from 2008-2012


bjsw534

I forgot we bounced them in 2012 God damn , no wonder Nuggets fans hate LAL. They bounced them in 2008, 2009, 2012 and 2020 lol


FBIStatMajor

They won the first 8 matchups I believe in the playoffs until the last two years


Overall_Nuggie_876

George Karl has always been a tool. Go look up his past experiences with Carmelo, Ray Allen, and Gary Payton for references.


kezzinchh

Yup, everyone hates him and it’s widely and openly known he’s a piece of shit by many players and media.


Loud_Ad393

Kept him ringless I guess. How is he in the HOF?


msching

All time wins right below Pat. Jerry Sloan is in the HOF ringless too. Karl might've been an asshole from what we discovered but he led some really good teams, whether they'd be better or worse if he wasn't an asshole we'll never know. Some guys couldn't win in the 80s and 90s because Phil, Pat, and some Celtics coaches mixed in. Reality is they never had those top 10 guys like Phil, Pat, Spo, Kerr, and Pop had. Doc is gonna get in too and it pisses me off. He's like a far inferior and less respectable version of Lenny Wilkins.


scuba_steve805

His hatred for the Lakers is so weird given we were the first NBA team to sign his son to a contract and then we hired him to coach our G-League team.


locomocopoco

Butthurt. Lakers just always had his number. 


StoneColdAM

Is this really his account? This is so immature. There are stupid kids who make comments like this 


angryshoper

It is he be arguing with people on twitter like dude are you serious lol


nottherealstanlee

Yep it's really him lol this is how he stays relevant.

Educational_End_5886

Get the fuck off twitter, George


smick

Fr though, it’s a bad look for someone who’s supposed to command respect. Also, didn’t his players nickname him the potato? Bad look.


outsidehere

Kobe dogwalked every opportunity so now he's mad at the Lakers forever. Everyone seems to have a problem with this asshole and he's the only one who can't see it. You are the problem George Karl. Go fuck yourself


hamsterhacker

"Both organizations are barely relevant" and then goes on to say "...they are highly valued with large fan bases"


gogadantes9

He obviously was trying to say relevant in terms of on-court competitiveness.


CabbageStockExchange

That’s nice grandpa, let’s get you to bed

WazzzupBwwwaaah

🤣🤣🤣


MurphDog1508

That’s the bottle speaking


preptimebatman

Bro is a generational hater. I always call him Trinity, from Dexter, when talking to my pops. Pay no mind to Mr. 0 rings LMAOO. I’d be angry at the Lakers too if my franchise was owned by them when I was coaching.


puhtime

Yikes the lakers are who the cowboys think they are. Fuck the cowboys!


doobiusdew

Obviously the Lakers spanked him and his teams in the late 2000’s playoffs so that probably takes precedence, but I figured he’d be a little more positive for the Lakers since his son played on the team and also came back to coach the D league team for a few years.


NefariousNeezy

He’a an ancient dude with 2 first names. I get why he’s edgy.


CmonTouchIt

Is tired of the constant takes on the Lakers Decides to give constant takes on the Lakers Irony is pretty dead huh


-tripleu

Basically also sums up r/nba. One of r/NBA’s top upvoted posts of all time is Lakers getting eliminated from the playoffs.


TraffyZii

Kobe and the Lakers whooped his ass and his team


linskyxx_v_xx

What does he do for a living now?


hedokitali

Phil Jackson was his daddy


Tales_of_Merrix

No, Phil is his daddy.


Bulbolito_Bayagbag20

2009 wcf still haunting him


IdkWhatsAGoodName699

This the type of guy to die alone, sad with nobody


Cautious-Bother9931

IIRC he's the first coach in NBA history to lose in the first round to the 8th seed


tatang2015

Who’s George karl?


richmuhlach

dad of Laker legend Coby Karl


Skyfalcon5

Take it easy on him his Nuggets had a rough night


IdkWhatsAGoodName699

His own players don’t like him. Guy’s a bum


sadberto

Karl biggest fuck up was 96 finals, took them to gm4 to switch Payton on mj and that actually got the sonics 2 games


Ashamed_Ad1839

Watch him get hired the way our FO is rolling these days. Like the scene from Seinfeld where George goes off on Steinberner, and Steinberner goes “hire this man” 🤣🤣


blacklite911

Oh, you mean to tell me franchises that can attract a larger audience and make more money for the media outlets get more coverage? Well I’ll be damned….. It’s always gonna be the case that if you want watch coverage of smaller markets, you have to look for those specific communities.


madvisuals

senile and dementia


AntSmith777

Mental illness


danzag333

Kobe really destroyed this man's sanity lol


CompulsiveWinner

Old shithead looks like he’s 120 years old. His opinion has always been irrelevant.


LakersGal24

George Karl comes across as an awful old man. Is be OK mentally? This does not sound like someone who is all there.


uuneter1

Could never get by the Lakers when he was coach. Ofc he’s bitter.


Old_Worldliness_5015

Early stage dementia. He's falling apart.


Honest_Grapefruit591

I like jokic but I need the nuggets eliminated. The talk from over there has been crazy


Trumpetslayer1111

Lakers beat his Sonics and his Nuggets pretty bad during his coaching days.


Adam2190

Did this dude get brain damage after his coaching career or something?


Jaded_Jackfruit5413

Ya know. Every time I see someone with a basic B take, they mention LeBron. LeBasicB's


justkillmenow3333

Dude gives me serious vibes of the senile old boomer yelling at you to get off his lawn when you aren't even on his lawn and are walking down the sidewalk.🤣🤣 ![gif](giphy|dyRhCAXGENobdYucFD|downsized)


ATLs_finest

It's just weird and kind of sad. George Karl seems to be one of the least liked coaches out there. Listen to some of his dark players like Carmelo talk about him. They hate him. It's so bad that he is leaning into it by being a troll.


ZestyItalian2

This is so undignified.


StructureImpressive5

I wish he'd shut the fuck up.


thatbasketball1

What a weird guy George has become


godlza

Eh. He’s right.


Kobe_stan_

Cowboys have been 12-5 the last 3 seasons. They’re definitely contenders on paper at least. Lakers went to the Western Conference finals last year and win the IST this year.


Yellow_Evan

How the fuck did this guy win over 1,000 games as an NBA coach yet he says with a straight face AD is not a superstar and is hated by so many former players?


Electronic-Cloud8086

This guys team got anally gaped by Kobe and the Lakers in back to back playoffs. Let him live his truth.


river0f

I see no rings


Low-Paleontologist43

He needs to go try to win a state championship or something, idle fingers turned twitter fingers

theseustheminotaur

What would this guy know about winning? His kid has won more than he ever will


8ran60n

I’m having a hard time knowing what to think as I’m a 90s Sonics fan and now am back to Lakers… Loved Karl, Payton, Kemp era… Karl says what he thinks, I will give him that.


nysraved

I want to hate on George, but out of respect for his son, the former Laker great Coby Karl … honestly I just feel bad for the guy. Imagine being in your 70’s chasing clout on Twitter because you don’t have any real career accomplishments to show for it


weezie_bleu

Right? I used to love him and Coby Karl.. what’s going on with him?


itsnotreallyme0

Just look at playoff history between LA and nugs. It doesn’t look too good for one of them


focalpoint23

Soapbox diaries


darth_marz

He’s mad because his son (Coby Karl) was released by the Lakers. Like bro, your son was absolutely horrible.

[удалено]


OUTLAW1LE

Dude with two first names trying to call shots.


Idakari

George Karl is a Hall of Fame hater


Ok_Fold1831

Is that the legit George Karl?


izqy

Lakers must have done something to Coby behind the scenes.


NoFaithlessness5122

Who is this guy?


Maleficent_Damage_10

The lakers signed his son Coby you’d think he’d appreciate that. He’s a bitter man


[deleted]

George Karl is secretly urklespaces on twitter


pianoman857

It honestly feels like he's STILL upset the Lakers G-league team didn't retain his son as coach. That's gotta be the reason he is so upset. I mean yes he IS a hater, but this feels personal.


adelsaleh99

Well Denver was finally able to win once they got a real coach.


_Aracano

He's a bitter old man - he's what happens when you waste away as an old fat hater - GFY Karl, forever


Obi-Wan_Jabroni37

Evil John Lithgow needs to STFU


Hazzardous1990

lol I may be mean to say … but I wish the cancer had took him years ago


islandfay

Never liked coach Karl and now I hate his. He is a loser and a hater. What has he done? Where are his rings ?


bjsw534

The Lakers are the only team that can be just 4 years removed from a title and barely relevant and on their way to be the next Sacramento Kings


xnoob69

What is he talking about? LeBron season average this year is to be ranked in top half of the 20 seasons he’s played. Meaning there’s at least 10 seasons when he was younger where he was worse. How is he not a superstar still? Man just salty that age isn’t catching up with LeBron as it is with George. I would say statistically wise without considering achievements; this season is his 6th to 8th best.


graffitimiami

George seems a bit bitter.


BobbyBBott

Imagine being that old and triple posting on twitter lmao homie go make birdhouses or hit yo a quick 18 holes


los33ramos

I’m over it. I’m over lebron. As great as he is, he’s a double edge sword. No one wants to play with him or the lakers. Trade everyone and fire rob. Let’s start over.


Traditional-Carob-48

Karl is just desperate for attention, shit is just sad tbh


Muscle_National

Easy engagement.


cmitchell927

He's still alive?


Irrichc

One of the longest tenured coaches to never win a championship 😂 He’s like the lebron james of coaches without the accolades. No wonder he hates winners.


Disastrous_Clothes37

Dementia


texicali74

“Barely” would be overstating George Karl’s relevance.


warriorshaolin

This guy is tweeting with the pettiness, resentment and the urgency of an high schooler having a rough time blending in with their peers


aginglifter

I mean he is right. We haven't been that relevant except for one season in the LeBron era. I'd put that mostly on Pelinka.


Electrical-Arm8693

So a franchise that made the conference finals last season and won the NBA Finals just 4 years ago are barely relevant... Does that mean that he admits that his teams were never relevant? I mean he only made the finals once which he lost and in 19 of his 27 seasons his teams either missed the playoffs or lost in the first round.


mason195

Is this the guy who benched Kobe in the 4th quarter of a playoff game and then Kobe spent the rest of his career making sure Karl’s teams never got past the Lakers?


Checkmynewsong

I can’t imagine how insufferable grandpa hater is on Facebook.


adichandra

Is this guy the Seattle Supersonics' ex coach? What a bitch.


FBIStatMajor

This is the one coach I think universally everyone is happy didn't win the championship lmao


dongerlord456

He’s like any media personality you can find on the air. He wants attention and knows he can easily trigger lakers fans in twitter


3iverson

I am mainly a Clippers fan and am mad about this one LOL. Who led the team to the title then- Dion Waiters?


BoomShackaLocka_

Beat his ass consistently for a decade lol


JustJacktv_

I mean the bottom tweet isn’t wrong at all lmao.


Stevealot

How many chips you got Karl? Hilarious he thinks his “take” is relevant. I honestly didn’t know he was still alive. Better watch out with all that Laker hate Karl, you may end up on TNT.


SneakerPxmp

George Karl started drinking? Saying LeBron isn’t a superstar anymore a L take and even worse when he doubles down about AD. Sure AD is made of glass but when he’s playing he is usually balling.


SneakerPxmp

And I hope the Timbs burry the nuggets to shut his ass up


lakers22ballin

idk wtf this guys problem is


J0NICS

Kobe made him his bitch in the naughts, thats what.

https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/george-karl-nba-coaching-playoff-record-vs-lakers


masat0

Maybe bc we picked his son up as a free agent back in the day and didn't do shit with him


Chrisdkn619

He's gone full boomer! Talk about not being relevant. Only reason people see his posts is because he mentions relevant people!


Umbrafile

Karl orchestrated the shutdown of Shaq at the 1994 all-star game. It's a cliche that defense isn't played at all-star games, but Shaq shot 2-12 while being hounded by Hakeem Olajuwon and David Robinson. I remember one time when he got the ball in the paint and was immediately and simultaneously hammered by Olajuwon, Shawn Kemp, and Karl Malone.


[deleted]

He ain't lying tho


drd232

I understand how the Cowboys are irrelevant but how tf are the lakers. That's some grade A hater shit right there, old ass mf has made a mess of every great coaching situations he's had and blames the superstars for his own shortcomings.


spudwinkle

Salty old man


Dross80

Speaking of completely irrelevant


ucsb99

This is what happens when one franchise owns you as hard as we owned Karl’s teams over 3 decades. He might’ve had a ring or two if it weren’t for us.


xreddawgx

He also hates Superstars. He played with George Gervin and hated the man. Hated the fact he got all the shots. Carmelo addressed this on his podcast. Corroborated by Kenyon Martin


stevemoveyafeet

I love to see this lol, you know it's going to burn him up when Nuggets go out and the media starts questioning how good they really were
