Stan Van Gundy on NBA Countdown: ESPN is Lying. Thats a bunch of BS from ESPN
Stan Van Gundy joined Dan LeBatard on the Ticket in Miami Wednesday, and at the end of the first hour (28 minute mark here), our SVG-David Stern-NBA Countdown story was read on the air. Stan Van Gundy took a deep breath and responded:
No one at ESPN will tell us what happened. Certainly the NBA office isnt going to tell us what happened. One of the quotes from ESPN in there we had discussions, but couldnt agree on a role as is usual, thats a bunch of BS from ESPN.
We actually did agree on a role, but then they came back and pulled that. Thats when we knew something was up.
Nobody is going to give a straight answer because thats just the way a lot of people operate nobody there has the guts to say anything, so thats what you deal with.
What I find fascinating you have to give David Stern and the NBA a lot of credit ESPN pays the league, and then the league tells them what to do. Its more ESPNs problem. You gotta have no balls whatsoever to pay someone hundreds of millions of dollars and let them run your business.
Just say what happened. Who cares? Who cares if Im on there or not. Just come out and say this is what we decided and why [ESPN's quote] thats just a flat out lie. Why would you do that? I dont understand. We agreed on something, you changed your mind and pulled the offer. Dont say we couldnt come to an agreement. We did.
