Phoenix Suns owner: Millennials cant handle adversity

[hood b. goode]

Suns owner rails on Morris, 'millennial culture'

Owner Robert Sarver, while saying the blame for his Phoenix Suns' struggles extends throughout the organization, has linked their challenges more broadly to "millennial culture," with forward Markieff Morris serving as a prime example.

In an interview with The Arizona Republic, Sarver questioned whether Morris, 26, wasn't meeting expectations this season because of what the owner thought could be trouble that his generation has with handling problems.

"I'm not sure it's just the NBA," Sarver said, when reached by The Republic via phone, regarding personality clashing and dysfunction within locker rooms. "My whole view of the millennial culture is that they have a tough time dealing with setbacks, and Markieff Morris is the perfect example. He had a setback with his brother in the offseason, and he can't seem to recover from it."

"I'm not sure if it's the technology or the instant gratification of being online," Sarver said. "But the other thing is, I'm not a fan of social media. I tell my kids it's like Fantasyland. The only thing people put online are good things that happen to them, or things they make up. And it creates unrealistic expectations.

He's right but it has zero to do with why he sucks at owning and operating a basketball team

I agree Millennials are fakkits

 

[mastermind]

we grew up through 9/11 and have gone to work during the financial crisis and its aftermath. Salaries are also depressed for most of us and yet we havent killed billionaires like Sarver.

I think we are handling adversity quite well.

plenty of millenials in the nba that are fine, it's just markieff being a bytch. he's also not exactly the first to have problems with the suns organization so maybe they should look at themselves.


although that shyt with drummond and that disney girl(mccurdy) was sad simp stuff.

yes

 

[Drones]

Some of these team owners do a great job of coming off like tone-deaf morons. Maybe the team is terrible because the people you hired to your FO repeatedly ostracize their players and end up in silly media beefs with them.
