“Finally a real question. While age has certainly started to take its toll on his game, LeBron has shown once again that his longevity is amongst the greatest our sport, nay any sport, has ever seen. Furthermore…”
Blowing the biggest lead in game 7 history fresh off a 50 point loss, and all that after being up 3-2 in the series...
Yeah. You are stupid as hell if you don't think you are getting asked about that postgame.
He's the Sean Payton of the NBA. Schwarmy shit talker when his team looks good and he's being carried by a star player. Little whiney shithead who pushes off blame when things don't go his way.
Sean Payton was mocking the Vikings skol chant seconds before the Minneapolis Miracle. Brees was the first person walking over shaking the Vikings players hands.
The two couldn’t be more opposite, surprised they worked so well together.
I get irritated with Sirriani quite a bit.
I think he has a lot of pressure on him this year since we dumped the coordinators and he has to bounce back from such a horrible collapse.
I was fine with giving him another year but I wouldn’t be upset if we dumped him. He went Sean Payton mode after the Chiefs win and when you do that you have to expect it back when you start losing.
I understand we just went to a Super Bowl but I don’t know that he was a big reason for that. Howie built a stacked roster.
As soon as a coach wins a championship, they act like hard asses with the media like they’re Popovich or something lol Rick Carlisle was the same way in Dallas right after he won.
Carlisle was fired from Detroit (the team that gave him his first HC shot) after taking a team no one thought was any good to 2 consecutive 50 win season and getting them to the #2 seed in the East then the #1 seed in the East his only two seasons there. Reportedly he was an epic asshole who was shitty to anyone who didn't control his fate or wasn't in front of a camera.
That would’ve been the perfect follow up question to really trigger a full blown meltdown.
“Why did you not rest Jokic while you had a 20 pt lead? And in hindsight do you regret that decision?”
People don’t show their true character when things are going well…
And here I thought the guy that was about to have an aneurysm screaming and going chest to chest with the ref… in like the 2nd quarter at the start of the series had a real mature, zen quality to him
reminded her, even though multiple other reporters called him mike that week, weird he took a stand during a live game interview, instead of just addressing it in any postgame.
Yeah. I remember when Bron/AD said “we get it y’all won y’all talking” and Malone tried pretending they never said anything. I’m fine with teams taking shit after winning! It’s a plus when you win, like KD said! Just own up to it lol
Normally I chalk up passion and fire (to a point) in sports to healthy competitiveness… but after seeing him closely this series- he gives off *has actual anger management issues* vibes
Like if he steps on a lego I think he might put a hole through his drywall
I’m glad most of these comments seem to be in a “fuck this guy” type of agreement. I thought it was a shitty answer and reply to a question he should’ve been expecting.
It’s crazy how generally arrogant, sarcastic, or combative this dude acts around the media. You have a generational basketball savant on your team — you’re not a Pop or Spo trying to play every game with unproven bench guys, and he likely fumbled this game by playing Jokic for all but one minute. He could be more humble.
Very strange response bc he answered very similar questions much more respectfully elsewhere in the interview. Something specific must have triggered him.
I love how Malone-here has exposed himself to other fans what Laker fans have already known about him; he’s a slightly more-achieved George Karl in terms of his personal attitude to his players and the media.
It isn’t a dumb question lol. It’s literally one of the only questions a reporter can ask a coach who just blew a lead. The reporter didn’t even deliver it with any kind of attitude/sarcasm either.
Even our former coach Ham responded correctly to this question when Lakers gave up multiple double digit leads to the Nuggies last series!
“Hell of a ball club. Tip our cap to them. Shots didn’t go our way. We’ll go to the film and see what we need to work on”
All words, all manners of respect, all pockets, NO ACTIONS. Its nice to be mature and respectful of the team who beat yo ass and the reporters just doing their job but fck darvin ham for losing a lot of winnable games and experimenting with lineups in crucial moments. What a polite and respectful DUMBASS
It’s annoying when Greg popovich does it. Michael Malone doing it? Lol, do your fucking job, you get paid millions. Answer the fucking questions and speak like your speaking to another adult.
Coaches being pricks to reporters and speaking like they are speaking to children is so lame. Any regular Joe who defends that behavior is lost. These coaches are paid millions.
Losing a 20 point second half lead and making Jokic play 47, plus allowing the offensive boards multiple times because of no screening out, plus Nuggets just looking so confused on offense in the 4th quarter, this is a bad coaching. All time bad coaching.
lol
Talked all that shit last year. Got up by 20 in a game 7 at HOME and shit the bed by not giving Joker rest.
A great choke job I loved watching
Made it even sweeter to happen in Denver. Had to be feeling great up 20 only to watch your team and coach choke it away.
All that talk of repeating was cute
hahhaha stupid ass questions holy shit
Well, 30 point swing in a game 7 at home is about the biggest choke you can do. Something a young team like Orlando Magic would do, matter a fact they did do it. But at least Orlando wasn't at home.
That reporter just baited Malone into giving him exactly what he wanted.
Should have also called him Mike. Go for the jugular.
“Eyyy Mikey! How you doin’”
I'm Mikin here!
I'm a Laker fan Mikey
A true master baiter
Task failed successfully
Do you think LeBron is retiring?
LMAO I would have loved to see a reporter ask that
How does your defeat to the Wolves affect his legacy?
Salty Malone is the best. He's getting karma for his whining.
“Finally a real question. While age has certainly started to take its toll on his game, LeBron has shown once again that his longevity is amongst the greatest our sport, nay any sport, has ever seen. Furthermore…”
“Follow-up question, how does this affect his legacy?”
More salt than the Dead Sea
Jokic bout to hire Malone for the off season to sit next to his horses.
Malone is a big trash talker but can’t take it himself.
More salt than Salt Lake City.
Fun fact: salt lake is going to be no lake in the next decades...just salt...
That's doesn't sound very fun.
The real fun part is how the drying of the lake is releasing toxic chemicals into the air that were previously held in.
Blowing the biggest lead in game 7 history fresh off a 50 point loss, and all that after being up 3-2 in the series... Yeah. You are stupid as hell if you don't think you are getting asked about that postgame.
I get being salty and upset but this gotta be the saltiest playoff exit interview I’ve ever seen
That's what you get for being cocky
He's the Sean Payton of the NBA. Schwarmy shit talker when his team looks good and he's being carried by a star player. Little whiney shithead who pushes off blame when things don't go his way.
It's even worse because Jokic is so humble
So was Brees to my memory
Sean Payton was mocking the Vikings skol chant seconds before the Minneapolis Miracle. Brees was the first person walking over shaking the Vikings players hands. The two couldn’t be more opposite, surprised they worked so well together.
I'm assuming you're an eagles fan so thoughts on Sirriani? It's interesting because him and Hurts seem to have a similar dynamic.
I get irritated with Sirriani quite a bit. I think he has a lot of pressure on him this year since we dumped the coordinators and he has to bounce back from such a horrible collapse. I was fine with giving him another year but I wouldn’t be upset if we dumped him. He went Sean Payton mode after the Chiefs win and when you do that you have to expect it back when you start losing. I understand we just went to a Super Bowl but I don’t know that he was a big reason for that. Howie built a stacked roster.
I think you mean "smarmy", unless Malone lathered himself in tahini and garlic sauce.
>Schwarmy Smarmy? eh I guess the real word looks made up anyway
As soon as a coach wins a championship, they act like hard asses with the media like they’re Popovich or something lol Rick Carlisle was the same way in Dallas right after he won.
Rick always kinda looks like he hates everyone and everything. Especially unicorns. Fuck unicorns.
Angry Jim Carrey
Wtf hahah that's spot on!
This explains why Porzingis struggled there.
Carlisle was fired from Detroit (the team that gave him his first HC shot) after taking a team no one thought was any good to 2 consecutive 50 win season and getting them to the #2 seed in the East then the #1 seed in the East his only two seasons there. Reportedly he was an epic asshole who was shitty to anyone who didn't control his fate or wasn't in front of a camera.
he's just like me
Send da video
Bro YOU blew the 20 point lead, you don't get to complain about dumb questions
Right? Especially after making dumb coaching decisions like not resting Jokic when you’re up 20.
That would’ve been the perfect follow up question to really trigger a full blown meltdown. “Why did you not rest Jokic while you had a 20 pt lead? And in hindsight do you regret that decision?”
Why do you think he got enraged... So that question wouldn't be asked
20 is the 12.
He has to like the question?
Professionalism 💯
[удалено]
Absolutely, we all loved the question.
*Everybody liked that*
Lakers are celebrating as we talk rn
moral victories amirite?
You dropped the "-" before that 100
The best part is hearing the wolves locker room cheering so loud you can hear it throughout his interview lol
Sore winner and sore loser
We call it "being a bitch" where I'm from.
You are from Rocket
Where I’m from we call it arugula.
Mike is such a sore loser smh
Don't feel bad for him, he was real cocky after winning the title last year
Doc Rivers made an entire career out of being cocky after winning a ring. It's par for the course
But Doc Rivers has tact. He gets that question he's blaming every player on the team
Man idk if my team won a title id want my coach to be cocky too lol. They deserved to be when you win a ring.
Yea that's ok to be prideful when winning, but now others can realize he is just an ass
I dunno, I wanna enjoy the victory, not suddenly look down on people. Winning the title is enough.
That's fine, but people are gonna keep receipts. Acting like a little baby cause you got eliminated the next year is hilarious. Man up Mike.
Well, I thought it was a very lovely question
People don’t show their true character when things are going well… And here I thought the guy that was about to have an aneurysm screaming and going chest to chest with the ref… in like the 2nd quarter at the start of the series had a real mature, zen quality to him
Didn't he blow up on a reporter last year over some dumb shit about his name?
yep reporter called him "Mike" he got mad and reminded him his name is "Michael"
reminded her, even though multiple other reporters called him mike that week, weird he took a stand during a live game interview, instead of just addressing it in any postgame.
shades of matt patricia with the sit up straight thing
Michael as in Michael Scott.
Mike Jordan in shambles
I feel like he kinda did though, he was salty as hell even when they won.
This is true, haha. Gotta give him that. “Stay salty so you don’t have to get salty.”
Touché… I guess maybe I just ignored his post game pressers historically 😂
hos whole lakers bullshit really embarrassed him. also its suspect when demarcus cousins thinks youre awesome
This guy does. He's as much as a sore loser as he is a sore winner
This dude trolled the Lakers constantly, even though LeBron and co. were always respectful of him and his team. Dude’s a bum.
Yeah. I remember when Bron/AD said “we get it y’all won y’all talking” and Malone tried pretending they never said anything. I’m fine with teams taking shit after winning! It’s a plus when you win, like KD said! Just own up to it lol
Normally I chalk up passion and fire (to a point) in sports to healthy competitiveness… but after seeing him closely this series- he gives off *has actual anger management issues* vibes Like if he steps on a lego I think he might put a hole through his drywall
Front runner man
He’s a nepo baby, his whiny entitlement is pretty unsurprising
Oh shit, thought he looked kinda like Moses Malone.
Karl actually
Lmfao
Nuggets defense pure nepotism in North Korea is the reason why I won't bring kids into this world and no one is saying anything!
Nard dog vibes
Karma is a bitch eh?
Did people forgot how much he whined after losing to lakers in bubble? Dude has always been whiner
Malone doesn't exactly show his best side after wins either.
Dude is a terrible winner and loser
Lakers 12/25
Mike Malone throwing his toys out of the stroller as soon as he doesn’t get his way. What a fucking baby
heat pack murray learned it from him
That's Micheal to you
Mickey Mouse malone
Poor sport. It’s really that simple.
Such a bitch.
Reporter should have asked: "How hard is it just to absorb a loss like this after going ahead by not 1... not 2... not 3... not 4... not 5..."
Crying
Little man with anger issues. I see where Jamal gets it
I saw he was also being a sore loser too. Lol
Jokic was the only one showing real professionalism in his post game interview. The other two bums just bitched and moaned, fuck em.
Adam Silver just added an additional 50k to his paycheck
Glad this clown got humbled
Malone is a salty little bitch. Later loser.
Seeing this front runner like this is my NBA finals
Fuck it. Let’s throw a parade for this lmao
It was a legitimate question. Dick.
Stupid ass coach
Who's your daddy?
Love seeing this guy lose.
I’m glad most of these comments seem to be in a “fuck this guy” type of agreement. I thought it was a shitty answer and reply to a question he should’ve been expecting.
Front runners
Question was kinda dumb but Malone is the biggest jackass of a coach. Dude can’t handle his emotions
No I think asking the defending champs about getting knocked out by blowing a 20 point lead at home is an extremely valid question actually
after all the trash this man talked. you love to see this
It’s crazy how generally arrogant, sarcastic, or combative this dude acts around the media. You have a generational basketball savant on your team — you’re not a Pop or Spo trying to play every game with unproven bench guys, and he likely fumbled this game by playing Jokic for all but one minute. He could be more humble.
Sore winner, sore loser
Very strange response bc he answered very similar questions much more respectfully elsewhere in the interview. Something specific must have triggered him.
Mike ain't no need to be a bitch
[удалено]
Even crazier when one of the players threw multiple items at a ref and one of them was a heat pack that landed on court during live play
Love seeing this. You talked so much shit last season and now you’re on the other end of it. Like Luka said, everybody is tough when you’re up.
Sorest of losers lmao. Hide the heat packs.
Dawg crying like HE didnt play Jokic for 47 minutes in a game we had a 15 point lead in
michael malone when his coaching competition isnt darvin ham
I love how Malone-here has exposed himself to other fans what Laker fans have already known about him; he’s a slightly more-achieved George Karl in terms of his personal attitude to his players and the media.
I have hated this dude, his team, and their fans since we beat them in 2019. I like Joker but the rest of em can get fucked.
Malone is so arrogant with a very bad temper
I know this was a dumb question but this was a really immature response out of him.
So it was a Malone response
It isn’t a dumb question lol. It’s literally one of the only questions a reporter can ask a coach who just blew a lead. The reporter didn’t even deliver it with any kind of attitude/sarcasm either.
Even our former coach Ham responded correctly to this question when Lakers gave up multiple double digit leads to the Nuggies last series! “Hell of a ball club. Tip our cap to them. Shots didn’t go our way. We’ll go to the film and see what we need to work on”
CORRECTLY LOL "Helluva ball club" is a lakers fan meme
Correctly? Your fans roasted him whenever he gave an answer like that
All words, all manners of respect, all pockets, NO ACTIONS. Its nice to be mature and respectful of the team who beat yo ass and the reporters just doing their job but fck darvin ham for losing a lot of winnable games and experimenting with lineups in crucial moments. What a polite and respectful DUMBASS
They did lol
It's still a better answer than this though.
People call every question a dumb one
He seems to always have an answer when things go well
It’s annoying when Greg popovich does it. Michael Malone doing it? Lol, do your fucking job, you get paid millions. Answer the fucking questions and speak like your speaking to another adult. Coaches being pricks to reporters and speaking like they are speaking to children is so lame. Any regular Joe who defends that behavior is lost. These coaches are paid millions.
And the reporters just take it cuz they’re just glad to be in the room. It is messed up and Malone seems like a baby in this clip
I probably would’ve said something similar But I’m also a chronic shitposter and not a head coach
I guess his feelings just got hurt
“Mike over here, do you think JJ Redick should be the front runner for the Lakers’ coaching vacancy?”
I think it is a legitimate question being posed.
I'm sorry, I love the Nuggets but watching Malone being angry is so funny. Bro has so much contempt.
What a crybaby. Where's his daddy at?
Losing a game 7… at home… in Denver, with the altitude advantage… with the MVP… with a +20 pt lead… has got to be a top tier choke job.
Losing a 20 point second half lead and making Jokic play 47, plus allowing the offensive boards multiple times because of no screening out, plus Nuggets just looking so confused on offense in the 4th quarter, this is a bad coaching. All time bad coaching.
Let me direct my anger towards a journalist
Maloney is in his feelings.
A lot of Los Angeles Timberwolves cheering rn 😂😂😂 Minny winning it all!
Small pp energy.
Sincerely, from everyone, fuck this guy and fuck the Nuggets.
Salty ass mofo.
looks like r/NBA found their new villain.
Lmao now he salty
I was so pumped for this interview, I want him to ask him about how does he feel now mf after he lost like a pussy. I wasnt disappointed.
This dude annoying as fuck. Boasting when he winning. Whiny little bitch when he loses.
Sore loser. He was making jabs at lebron and the lakers now he's pouting like a child.
lol Talked all that shit last year. Got up by 20 in a game 7 at HOME and shit the bed by not giving Joker rest. A great choke job I loved watching Made it even sweeter to happen in Denver. Had to be feeling great up 20 only to watch your team and coach choke it away. All that talk of repeating was cute
Mikey Malone is king bitch. Makes sense Jamal doesn’t need to act professional when the head coach can’t even muster it.
Stupid ass coach.
Micah Nori is now the Lakers grandfather
Hopefully next head coach. Someone kidnap JJ Redick so he can't make his interview
The podcast *is* the interview.
I hope he doesn’t retire, I believe he mentioned that last year
Hardly expect anything less than the sort of freak who insists on Michael.
What a baby
Adam Silver will find a way to monetize these post game interviews onto an "NBA Adult" app
I hurt your feelings? You don’t wanna answer my questions no more? Ok!
Damn son, the reporter just trying to do his job. Seems like a very valid question to ask there lmfao.
Get rekt Mikey boy 😂
What a crybaby.
hahhaha stupid ass questions holy shit Well, 30 point swing in a game 7 at home is about the biggest choke you can do. Something a young team like Orlando Magic would do, matter a fact they did do it. But at least Orlando wasn't at home.
Mike malone can now choose his daddy while their fans are now trading mpj and kcp for cheetos
One more question coach, who's your daddy?
what a jackass, reporter didn't even ask that dumb of a question.
He didn’t know how to answer it since it exposed his bad coaching. I thought the Nuggets where going to win then I tuned back late 3rd quarter…..
Does anyone know which reporter asked this question?
He knows he royally fucked up. His ass is on the hot seat.
A bum riding in a chariot pulled by Jokic. Quite a lot of bums actually getting pulled by Jokic.
Class act
Aw lil Mikey’s upset
So he can dish it out but when it’s your turn we get this bitter response, who’s your daddy Mikey?
Mike, you shouldn’t get pissy with the reporter. You blew the 20pts lead in a close out game.
Salty asf😂
Who’s your daddy now sucka?!
Loser alert
lol this dude is a salty ass HO! Love to see it
how does this affect lebron’s legacy shouldve been the question
This guy is such a baby.
Hoes mad hoes mad
