Chuck is telling ESPN this 😂
Don't forget FS1
He already called them out for saying the Lakers and Warriors were gonna make playoff runs LOL
ESPN is a DEI gig. You get what you get
@@Victordamus98Go be a victim somewhere else
Nick Wright, Shannon, Gilbert Arenas, Brian on ESPN
"Punks, idiots and jackasses" he called them out by name 😂

gotta love TNT turner they allow you be yourself, no censor nothing
😂😅
He called Kendrick Perkins a roach a few weeks ago 😂😂
@@ANGELOFDARKification he's right
Shaq smiling while Chuck makes his statement tells you how much he (Shaq) agrees with Chuck and/or how much he loves how Chuck calls out other networks' "experts".
Chuck callin out media trynna be buddy buddy with players. I REMEMBER he said back then he wanna "PUNCH DRAYMOND GREEN IN THE FACE" then dramond came into their show he was acting Biddy buddy with dray🤣
@@spelwurdsrite6756can Peabody buddy and still be critical. Charles Barkley and Draymond Green had a lot of fun with each other during the All-Star Game. But Chuck told Draymond I'll see you in the play in.
@@hylianlegends point still stands. From "I will punch him the face" to "sup? lol" Them media have their own relationships they wanna take care of because it will give them inside scoops.. same as Chuck being all buddy buddy with Draymond cuz Dray literally came to his own Show as guest. Same energy.
Chuck with the "i feel better now" followed by the staffs laughter is just hillarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣
chuck is awesome when he's serious and when he's joking
And when he’s losing $25 million gambling not so much.

When Chuck decides to be Chuck, its a gem. He like that uncle that always gonna give you the truth regardless how much you wish he wouldn't.
You’d hate to hear the advice at the time but it turns out to be the best darn stuff you’ll ever hear 💪
Chuck calling out the Lakers, Suns, Bucks and Nets front offices
Thing is, it's a lot easier to fire one coach than to get rid of 15 players and start fresh. Same in any other sport. When a baseball team underperforms, it's easier to fire one manager than put 25 players on waivers.
Factsss
@@dentonyoung4314That’s true and sometimes a coaching change helps a lot. But in the case for the Lakers, any time they underperformed people blamed Walton, Vogel, and Ham. There were issues with the structure of that team and firing Darvin Ham won’t really change that
Calling out Stephen a and first take
Darvin's comments were clear post series; health was a factor, but the roster construction was another. They had no bench and were too AD/Bron reliant. Look at Dallas. 123-93 vs Clippers with Kyrie giving 14pts and 51 bench points. Lakers never had that. If the starters were not elite, they lost. This is MORE on Rob Pelinka. We could've had Ty Lue in 2019, but they didn't want to give him a 4 year deal. But they gave Darvin a 4 year deal. 🤦♂️
He calling out nick wright hard 🤣🤣
Rightfully so. Him and Skip Bayless are the worst.
@donniro5962 You can hate on skip but he’s a legend and created stars and his own genre
And Shannon Sharpe
Hams schemes were atrocious. Runnin 2/3 guard line up....telling his players to leave people open on the 3 because they aren't known for hitting them,. Meanwhile bench players for other teams are having carrer record scoring nights. You people watch 2 Laker games and talk just to talk. Chuck saw 3 games this year and bumps his gums. All of you are casuals.
@johnnguyen6469 his genre is absurd hating😂
I can't stop laughing man. I swear Shaq is that one friend in school that's just waiting for you to say something, so he has an excuse to laugh his ass off 😂
I love how Kenny and Shaq stayed quiet the whole time because they know that Chuck is right
Fire Rob Pelinka and hire Rob Lowe.
😂
LMAO
Wait these are actually 2 different dudes? I always thought that Rob Lowe is just Pelinka's stage name.
I always there they were the same guy for years.
Hire Robert Downey Jr.
Never change Chuck 😂
4 COACHES IN 6 YEARS 😂
When Darvin Ham missed that open 3; I knew then that he needed to be fired. Oh wait….
that made him the GOAT lol
Lmfaoaoaoaooaoaoaoa😂
You don’t get fired based on one on game or one loss,he coached bad all season
So no one has ever missed shots before? grow up
That one right there made me the greatest of all time 😂
Damn I love chuck. This guy is the real deal. I love how honest and blunt he is. He is the reason why I even watch this show !
Hes right, when a team wins we praise the players for "going off" and "cooking" and yet when a team loses we blame the coaches? At the end of the day the players have to deliver
Comes with the gig.They know it comes with the gig. Why cry about it?
@@Regularguy92 Ham still has 2 years on his contract, gets paid to sit at home lol
Rob Pelinka and James Jones for sure need to be questioned for the moves they have made.
They lucky they move away Russ getting DLO, rui, vincent, taurean, woods etc. Those are solid players but still having lebron the culture is if lakers win credit to lebron when lose blame someone else, Lerbon stats is good in paper, but his lack of defense or even boxing out bigs is so lazy he needs to retire badly
Leave James Jones out of this , it's all Ishbia's fault.
@@joeymanny solid role players but nowhere to be found in the playoffs? stop it they just got exposed darvin ham just couldn't make the proper rotation and it costs them a long time ago
rob just did what bron told him to, including westbrook lol.....
@@joeymannyGood role players? Lmao Rui and DLo are the only relevant names you mentioned and they were HELLA inconsistent against the Nuggets. The fact is, LeBron was the third best player in the playoffs but outside of AD, the Lakers had no consistency.
Say his name chuck. Rob Pelinka. He needs to be fired
Lakers are not even that bad they just got a bad matchup with nuggets . suns are far far far worse , james jones needs to go
No one need to be fired honestly they just need better bigs the can do what Howard and McGee did
Ham is trash
Rob Pelinka has been terrible. Yes he did something good midway of last season = but that was to correct the idiotic Westbrook trade anyway.
@@yayomarley1802 and who was the person who was supposed to sign them up?
Chuck always on point
Shaq cracking up
Chuck always be saying sus stuff and he ain’t even know it 😂
LA was up 68% of the time, you telling me Darvin Ham couldn't adjust to win the series, it may not be Ham's fault but he sure didn't help, LA had Vando available for last game, he could've subbed in all defense players when LeBron was at the FT
No he’s not. I watch every lakers game bro. Ham is not a good coach
No he ain’t
The ppl laughing got me 😂
I appreciate Chuck telling it like it is. 👏👏
Things Chucks is probably right about: 1. Absolutely, roster construction, including coach selection, is way more on front offices/owners than it is on anyone else. 2. Vogel and Ham have the unenviable positions of being coaches that are newer to their respective teams, and have to win now, so no development time. Other things to consider: 1. We can separate playoff and regular season performances and talk honestly about mistakes made during each. 2. The roster construction Vogel has had to deal with is probably as bad as Chuck makes it out to be. 3. In spite of doing pretty well in the playoffs in terms of rotations, in spite of some questionable timeout usage on the floor, Ham also started Reddish and Prince for like 12 games this season, giving each around 35 minutes of play. Getting guys minutes to develop them cause you believe in them and want to build their confidence can be good coaching, but doing so in a must win setting during the regular season where seeding can become really important is probably not wise. That being said, hiring newer coaches that are still learning for must win situations is 100% on cheap ownership and misinformed/foolish front offices.
Very good response. Ham is still a rookie head coach and he is still learning. I have no clue why rob and jeanie thought it would be fruitful to hire him, when this team is in “win now” mode.
I watched Coach Vogel coach some great games over the years. The Suns' issue is their owner and the players not being cohesive off the court.
I understand if Chuck said Ham doesn’t deserve any hate but to say he’s a hell of a coach? Nahhh lmao 1. He’s gotta be trolling or 2. He doesn’t watch Lakers games 😭😭😭
I think he simply overgeneralised. Look at the context instead of trying to pick the statement apart due to one inaccuracy. Darvin Ham is an inexperienced coachand every coach at some point makes mistakes YET they get the overproportionate amount of hate for it because the front offices don’t want to risk their players being unhappy, because Stephen A and JJ Redick want those stars to like them for interviews or to join them on a podcast episode, it is quite frankly a conflict of interest that we see only in the basketball world. It would be more accurate to criticise the front offices and maybe even certain players for meddling with the team and in some cases even openly failing to do their own job.
@@s0uldr4ke31 i think it is the FO fault for even considering darvin ham. He was brought in as a players coach. You need a x’s and o’s guy. A coach who is good at coming up with solutions to problems on the fly. I agree with you on how Chuck worded it.
Chuck 100% here. Every analyst on a Network seems to be bought out by one player or another. These takes have been ridiculous fr
Chuck is right, Im LMAO hearing the blame game and throwing people under the Bus, where in fact Nuggets is the better team , ESPN should focus on how Nuggets closing out lakers in every 4th qtr of this series which lakers lack of
“I feel better now.” I love Uncle Chuck 😂❤
ESPN Chuck is talking to you 😏😉
It's not Darvin Ham fault. He probably didn't got the roster he wanted, had to follow what LeBron wanted all the time and also had to go to work knowing the players wanted him out. He did the best he could do with these guys
Didn’t got ?? 😂😂
Darvin ham still made countless mistakes with defensive gameplanning and offense gameplanning as well. Mike malone coached circles around darvin. The only game where mike malone did awful job was in game 4. I have no clue why mike decided not to stick with aaron gordon on AD in the second half. It worked and Darvin still didn’t have an answer for it. Nevertheless, darvin showed why he is not a “hell of a coach”.
Look at the games man, he can't coach to save his life, you couldn't have watched games and still think what you've written here, come on man
@@pavlegrebenarevic382not Darvin’s fault. Lakers need to trade LeBron and get assets in return to build around AD. That would put Darvin Ham in a better opportunity without worrying about the extraness that comes with LBJ.
Have you ever watched a Lakers game this season?
Say what you want about the Lakers but the Nuggets are a freaking buzzsaw and it's tough for anyone to beat them. It's not like the Lakers got swept or blown out every game.
Gentleman sweep 😂
Back to the point Chuck was making, Lakers lost because of the off season moves/non-moves they made.
@@ROSH1503 The Lakers lost because they weren't smart enough to deliberately lose the first play-in game to get on the opposite side of the bracket from Denver. If they do that they have a good chance to make the conference finals (and lose to Denver.)
@@dentonyoung4314 delay the inevitable....smh
11 straight wins meams how trash lakers are
Charles is right…Milwaukee is another great example. They used Griffin as a scapegoat to ignore the obvious failure of the front office to construct a roster that makes sense. The Lakers & Suns rosters are horribly constructed.
I like Chuck but Darvin Ham is a terrible coach. Vogel's actually a good coach. Dont forget about Rob Pelinka though, he ruined the teams future with the Westbrook trade. He's gotta go.
Scapegoat as always Its never the fault of Lebron or AD Is always someone else fault...
bron and AD scored 30 so what your point? @@Lethal205
@@Lethal205well if u actually had a brain and watched basketball, you would know those two guys should be the last to get blamed.
Didn't lebron request westbrick tho?
Lakers were fools to fire Vogel. If anything Vogel's last Lakers season sucked because of Lebozo pushing for Westbrick to join the team.
Love you chuck! Real basketball fan notice yaah ❤
Chuck spoke nothing but facts the media toxicity getting worse every season especially towards the coaching 😢
Chuck not lying
What do you mean not lying ham is not a good coach
James Jones and Rob Pelinka Chuck. Those guys always run through coaches and deflect blame when they deserve to be fired.
TnT Inside Guys is the truest basketball commentary on TV, Chuck is spittin, before blaming the coach, blame the front office first, they assembled the team and paid or over paid talents, the Coaches are making do of what they have.
Bro, ham is not the sole reason lakers lost but jeepers some coaching decisions were pretty sketchy. Even just the last part of the game, its close with 3 minutes to go and you call your last time out... Lots of things went wrong including missed ft which is not ham fault, but 3 seconds is plenty to get a quality look for the final play.
They didnt call a timeout. They challenged a call. Even tho I personally would not have challenged anyway because it was tie game.
@@tubbylemon I thought they had a time out left after the challenge? If not then they should not have challenged the call.
Didn’t Lebron miss a 3. Didn’t Lebron get dunked on! Didn’t Lebron assemble this weak ass roster?
@@jonatangonzalez6264 yep, LeBron was actually the only player on the court, the coach and the GM.
@@tubbylemon If they didn't challenge that, it would be 2 FT for Jokic. So, would the Lakers even get to the point where they can call timeout to tie or win the game?
Charles is never shy for being too honest😂😂
Facts..both are great coaches
It’s actually the own teams blaming the coach from ad and bron to Beal and kd ain’t no one hearing what the media say. Organizations listen to the players and bow down to them
Walton, Vogel and now Ham. Sooner enough, you’ll run out of scapegoats!
'Ham is a hell of a coach" is... a take
Shots Fired 💥
LA & PHX need to improve their rosters ASAP
Everyone defending Ham does not watch Laker games
They casuals
cap!!
@@lhype1748like you 😂
they’re just Lebron haters 😂
Chuck must be sipping on that Redmont 😆 😂
"Its Keith's fault our show sucks tonight" 🤣
kenny smith doesn't looks happy because he is one of them
I agree with chuck about not blaming frank vogel, but darvin ham had lebron, AD, spencer dinwiddie, D'Angelo russell, and a host of good role players like hachimura and reaves. I'd say that's enough hall of famers and supporting talent for a coach to have a play in team.
but you forgot they are going against Denver. The NBA Champs and better than them. What are you talking about. It's not Ham's fault Lebron miss that open 3 in Game 2. That series might have been game 7 if not for clutch Jamal Murray! So all of you those who thinks they knew better than Ham should be a NBA coach. So stop complaining if your team loses
That group was responsible, they didn’t step up
@deequi77 ham is responsible for making adjustments, he never did throughout the season or playoffs, his rotations are trash as well, no coach in the nba would've started prince over rui, even before he got hurt, ham continued to throw out trash 3 guard lineups with Bron or to rui at the center position
Spencer, Dlo, AR and Rui are not that good. Too inconsistent. Other players were injured. That was out of Darvin’s control.
@@CBoogie91 ohh common that's what if. We are not having this conversation if lakers won Game 2 and those close games. So stop. This is denvers time right now.
STAND ON IT. Long live King Chuck
I agree with Chuck because 3:32 Vogel is a defensive coach but was given a Mike D'Antoni-liked team
No Lakers coach is ever good in their fan’s eyes
phil jackson
Nailed it!
or lebrons eye, he is a coach killer
4:10 😂
Sus Barkley at it again 😂
I love it how Shaq is always laughing lol 😝
Love how Shaq is trying not to laugh.
Dunno if you saw some of the LAL lineups this year.... or the incompetent game & timeout management.... but....
Completely right about the Suns. They had no Point Guard until disabled Isaiah Thomas joined the team at the end of the season. Booker and Beal never played point and are not natural creators. When the sun's did that 3 team deal to trade away Ayton, I'm surprised they didn't get any of the guards Portland had.
True. And I still don't know what they got Beal for. In what world did they think KD, Book, and Nurk weren't enough of an offense?
Yes Brogdon would have been nice to get for them even if he is injury prone
I feel better now mood😂
Shaq usually acts so tough, but he was whisper quiet when Chuck went off! Speak up Shaq!!
I do agree that Rob Pelinka needs to go and not the coach. Can't have 39 year old LeBron playing 40 plus minutes guarding every position
Ham NEEDS to go. Stop it
@@yungjackpot4329they don’t watch bball they jus talk
@@lhype1748 man ! Or just watch the playoffs. LA has wanted this man gone for over a year
LEzesty doesnt guard any1. he hasnt played defense las 18 yrs.😅😅😅
then he should retire and go be a family man... and lebron can't guard a cone, he's a liability
Chuck just watches the highlights. Ham don’t be coaching tho. Can’t even properly call a timeout or get their rotations right. 😂😂😂 Don’t even have a proper game plan aside to leave wide open the least likely to make a shot on the opposing team.. then there’s no in game adjustments from him as well. 🤷♂️
He can’t name role players he a entertainer that’s it
Meanwhile u work at McDonald’s. Buddy your opinion means nothing.
@@NakedBlastoiselol 😂😂😂😂😂
@@NakedBlastoise come on I disagree with his opinion but we can all express our own properly lol
Casual did you see AD, Dlo and especially lebron Listen to Ham. Lebron is a known coach killer, he got 9 fired coaches already just to be a scapegoat., thats how terrible lebron is, his my way or highway style of play will never let a coach do his thing
Love when Shaq smile
There’s levels to coaching just like with players. To say having Mike Malone isn’t a huge advantage is more disrespectful to him than saying Darvin ham sucks in comparison. To be an nba coach at all you have to be a very high level coach but it’s the same thing as 15th man players, just bc they would absolutely bust 99.99999% of people on any court doesn’t mean they can compete with the nba all stars or even roll players on an nba court
Pelinka do need to go & Ham cause he just not a good coach! It’s been several games where Reaves, Rui got hot & he sat them down! You don’t never take the hot player out the game & again he just not a good coach! Fire Ham & hire Rondo!
Matt Ishbia assembled that garbage ass suns team and expects Frank Vogel to win gold. Rob Pelinka has been assembling the right teams (other than trading all the core Bubble team like Kuz, KCP, Caruso away) but Darvin Ham has been botching the leads by not adjusting properly on defense. Why dont we switch the coaches and bring back Vogel just like the bubble 😉 I wouldnt mind hiring coach Budenholzer either
Bad thing about the Vogel situation is he reportedly told the front office the team needed at least a serviceable point guard and was basically ignored. Guess ownership just thought having KD, Booker and Beal out there would allow them to outscore their opponents every single game.
This is a weird take considering after Chuck went to the Rockets he definitely said the Suns didn't get back to the Finals because of Paul Westphal's coaching.
True, no matter what you teach them as a coach at the end of the day the player plays the game.
Chuck delusional if he thinks Ham and Vogel make good adjustments in-game
Chuck really don't be knowing what the hell he's talking about
Ong
Y’all don’t be knowing what yall talking about 😂
And you do? Why don't you make a podcast so we can see what the hell you talking about lol
@KAye633 he's such a great coach. Cant wait to see Ham in the NBA next year 😂
lool shaw trying not to laugh
These comments sound familiar. In regards to the Lakers: Every coach for the Lakers - aside from maybe Phil Jackson - has been heavily criticized as not a good coach due to rotations, timeouts, substitutions, or whatever: Mike Brown, Mike D’Antoni, Byron Scott, Frank Vogel, and now Darvin Ham. Maybe it’s the players (like Chuck mentioned) who are not good for the team. It could be both coaches and players, but coaches seem to get criticized more often and more heavily, especially new head coaches to the NBA game (e.g., David Blatt, Stephen Silas, Adrian Griffin, now Darvin Ham). 🏀
Fans criticize the coach because they don’t know what else to criticize. You have to think about how ridiculous it is to criticize the coach when you’re not even on the team. We don’t know what plays are being run, we don’t know what he’s saying in the huddle, we don’t know their practice habits, we don’t know anything. It’s just meaningless chatter.
@@369pendulumyour Point went out the Window when the PLAYERS are criticizing the coach....
@@reimixo My comment is about fans. I didn’t say anything about the players criticizing their own coach. Now if you’re talking about formers players then they are just like us on the outside looking in with limited information.

@@reimixo Your comprehension is void. Keep that helmet on.
Harden & PG are professional choke artists.
I mean harden’s playoff stats are better than like over 90% of nba players. His elimination game stats are also better than the likes of Wade and Kobe Bryant. It’s just more magnified for him cuz he has 0 rings which is a team accomplishment
Sorry. Ham does not know when to call time out and loves small ball.
Small ball criticism was definitely true last year. Don't think it was a problem against Denver.
Players can call timeout too you know.
lakers never play small ball, what are talking about?
chuck heard that new k dot now he on one!!!
Chuck never disappoints, it’s crazy I’ve never disagreed with anything has ever said.
Mr Barkley, the national treasure!
YESSSSS!!! Brilliant Chuck. It's more about team composition than it is about Vogel and Hamm. Amen!
Finally somebody from tv says the truth. Thank you Charlese. All these media Lebron lovers always want to blame everyone else but him.
Chuck the Realest 💯
Frank Vogel needs to get fired shut up Chuck lol
Frank Vogel is a good coach, nobody would get that roster past the first round. KD thinks he can play GM and tries forming a team full of iso players and no depth. Vogel was the scapegoat for the lakers after the Westbrook trade and now he is here
@@jasonquinlan1733exactly they are so dense
You’re not watching Lakers games if you think Darvin Ham is a real NBA coach, let alone a good one.
Who put them team 2gether need to be 🔥☄️😂💯💯 Nobody: Shaq: 😂😂😂😂
I agree with Chuck, with Lakers take away the bubble season, the Lebron and AD trade was a bust from the start.
Lakers gutted their championship squad, that's the only reason they've fallen from top 3 to bottom 3. They ain't got no bench.
Coaching reinforces what the team already has.
This goes in hand with what shaq says..the player gotta get himself going, the coach can only do so much. Agree with chuck 100%, it’s the players that couldn’t win
Chuck is wild😂😂😂
Charles speaks facts
3:17 Well said, Kenny. Its not an automatic thing when you are playing against equally competitive professionals.
Shaq also acts like he’s never had a bad game in his career. No one’s gonna play great every game
Gotta love chuck even his predictions is always wrong
Uhh Jermaine Dupri check out what Katt Williams had to say about him and Kriss Kross.
Charles is spot on!
LOL gotta love Chuck
C'mon Chuck, don't be shy tell us how you really feel!😂😂
I do believe Frank Vogel and Darvin Ham are legitimately good coaches. I just hope they both get into better situations that suits their coaching philosophies.
Vogel has had multiple chances,Ham is just bad I don’t care what Charles says because he wouldn’t be a good head coach either
Darvin is a not a good coach (right now). It has been proven with film. Frank is a proven head coach and this suns disaster is much more of a FO issue rather than a coaching issue. I view 90 percent roster construction and 10 percent coaching issue (for the suns).
THANK YOU CHUCK!!!
Such fun group
The GM blew this roster up. We had Caruso and KCP and also we played AD at the 4 and had a real center at the 5. Overreacted after Suns loss in 2021 because of injury and traded for Westbrick. Blew Bron’s title chances!
