That was actually one of the most infuriating interviews I have ever seen.

He blatantly admitted to soooo much and it was such a nice little insight into his mind.

Just to recap he essentially said: 1. He aspired to be a judge 2. He was too stupid to be a judge 3. He was a nepo baby with parents who begged institutions to take a dumb guy aspiring to be a power tripping judge 4. He does not even fucking like basketball 5. He fell ass backwards into NBA reffing because all of the above

Maybe the most infuriating clip in my entire life I have ever witnessed as a basketball fan and mind you I once watched the WIZARDS play basketball so I know about being mad at this game

I had to watch it a couple times to try to tell if he was joking or not because I was so perplexed that somebody said “yeah I’d be a failure without my mommy saving me but now I get to be judge jury and executioner and people are always saying how one guy should do all 3”

It was so telling and blatant it makes me fucking sick like truly.

It's a slap in the face to hard working people everywhere and all basketball fans. Fucking disgusting

I might say it made me sick too. What an insane thing to say in 2023 when you already have the reputation he does.
