Grizzlies star Marc Gasol has been taking the heat for getting David Fizdale fired. The two didn't see eye to eye and the Grizzlies front office admitted that their relationship did play a part in the firing.
Not everyone is placing the blame on Gasol. Former NBA player Stephen Jackson places the blame on Chandler Parsons. And Parsons responded to Jackson's claim.
S/O Coach Fizdale u can’t want it more than the players u coach. Can’t go to war with no soldiers. How u expect him to win with no dogs on his team and PG hurt. Fixed fight if u tell me. Fire chandler Parsons. #GBG Truth Hurts.
Bad front office bad team. Point blank. If u never played in the NBA or worked in the a front office keep your opinion to yourself. They did Fiz wrong. How long John Paxson been in Chicago? I’ll wait. Have they won anything? I’ll wait on that answer to. #GBG Truth Hurts. Start signing players that care about the game and the fans. Not guys who just interested in the game. Gotta Love it.
This is not a beef. I have passion for the game and I Love this game. I hate to see it not appreciated. I hate to see a good coach get fired bkuz he cares more than the players. Facts. All basketball players ain’t kool I can count my NBA Real brothers on my hands. Facts. Not a yes man. #GBG it ain’t just him. It a lot that don’t care. Respect it or check it. Love to all. Get healthy though @chandlerparsons. 🤔
