The Most Unbelievable Interviews in NBA History

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
These are the times NBA players fought disrespectful reporters. And first up, this reporter got a little too curious and got put in his place.

**Stephen A. Smith** (0:09)
Okay, to rephrase, you said you cursed each other out in the huddle.

**Draymond Green** (0:12)
Can you take us through that situation or?

**Jimmy Butler** (0:14)
I'm being nosy, man. Next question. That's between me and Bam.

**Kyrie Irving** (0:18)
Y'all are trying to get in on something.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:20)
Damn, Jimmy let that man know, but RJ. Barrett made another reporter learn the hard way.

**SPEAKER_7** (0:26)
If you guys, Kidd, get out of this first round or Kidd get this series to tomorrow, how do you view the season overall?

**Jimmy Butler** (0:35)
Why you gotta be so negative?

**SPEAKER_7** (0:36)
I ain't thinking about that.

**Jimmy Butler** (0:38)
Winning in the end, I'm not thinking about that.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:41)
Deuce Lucky, he wasn't in his face with that disrespect, but a NYX journalist didn't check his sources and got called out. See, Julius Randall just bagged $155 million contract and was balling out in New York. So, when reporters started buzzing about trade rumors, Randall wasn't having it.

**SPEAKER_7** (0:58)
I mean, the trade deadline is coming up, and amazingly, your name has come up as a possibility. I mean, do you think that's just rubbish? I mean, do you...

**Julius Randle** (1:07)
I mean, who reported it?

**SPEAKER_7** (1:09)
I mean, it's been out there that the NYX are open.

**Julius Randle** (1:12)
Who reported it?

**SPEAKER_7** (1:14)
I...

**Kevin Durant** (1:15)
A couple of reported.

**Julius Randle** (1:16)
You don't know?

**SPEAKER_7** (1:17)
I mean, no, no, I know it's been out there.

**Julius Randle** (1:19)
Who reported it?

**SPEAKER_7** (1:22)
Dude, we know it.

**Jimmy Butler** (1:22)
Good job, Mark.

**Kevin Durant** (1:24)
Okay, next question.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:25)
No, it's been out there.

**Jimmy Butler** (1:27)
Who reported it, Mark?

**SPEAKER_1** (1:28)
Damn, trade rumors turned him into a savage. But the next one should have known not to mess with Kobe Bryant, because when he was talking nonsense, this happened.

**Jimmy Butler** (1:38)
Twist your words or read too much into what she said, but being around young players energized you. That's not a statement about maybe you'd like to see some young players on your team.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:48)
Wow.

**Kevin Garnett** (1:50)
You know what? That's a Beakroom Yoga stretch.

**Kevin Durant** (1:55)
You stretched the hell out of it.

**Kevin Garnett** (1:56)
Good job. Good job.
I'm not even going to answer that. That's just silly.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:02)
The Mamba did not play around. But speaking of playing hard, the media was talking trash about the Blazers in the 3 playoffs before they forced game seven. So Rashid Wallace had to put it to an end.

**Giannis Antetokounmpo** (2:13)
Do you think it was a good game or do you think both teams played hard?

**Russell Westbrook** (2:17)
Both teams played hard.

**Allen Iverson** (2:18)
Both teams played hard.

**Russell Westbrook** (2:20)
Both teams played hard.

**SPEAKER_13** (2:22)
God bless and good night.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:25)
But this next one was ready for real conflict. See, Rondo told this cameraman to back off. But when he didn't listen, he hit him with the full court press.

**Kyrie Irving** (2:35)
All right, bro.

**SPEAKER_14** (2:37)
Listen, listen, listen. I'm gonna tell you, guys.

**Kyrie Irving** (2:39)
I'm gonna tell you, man.

**Rajon Rondo** (2:40)
Do not, quit filming me. I'm telling you, quit filming me.

**Allen Iverson** (2:43)
Do not film me.

**Jimmy Butler** (2:44)
I'm not doing an interview right now.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:45)
Damn, Bro was ready to throw fists, but Charles Barkley has been fighting the media since day one. Just watch what he said to these reporters.

**SPEAKER_14** (2:53)
Your favorite folks on the calling shows have been very vocal in their criticism of you for doing this.

**Charles Barkley** (2:58)
You really think I give a flying f**k what the people on the radio calls say? Thank you.

**SPEAKER_14** (3:07)
They say that Magic's not dead yet, and Billy Cunningham's number is retired. So why can't you leave it alone?

**Charles Barkley** (3:14)
I really don't give a f**k what they say on the calling shows.

**SPEAKER_14** (3:17)
I'm just asking the question.

**Charles Barkley** (3:18)
I'm just giving you an F.

**SPEAKER_14** (3:18)
I'm just asking the question. I'm not talking about the calling shows.

**Charles Barkley** (3:22)
It's not about the fans. I really don't give a flying f**k.
Well, you can't say flying f**k. I really don't give a FF what they think.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:34)
But Barclay wanted to keep his beef alive, so he became a journalist so he could keep sending shots. Just like when Draymond Green tried getting under Chuck's skin, but instead got his cheese clasped.
