Clippers fined $50K for Rivers' Kawhi comments
"He is the most like Jordan that we've seen," Rivers said after Magic Johnson, the Lakers' former president of basketball operations, talked about Leonard on Tuesday's preview show. "Like, there's a lot of great players. LeBron [James] is phenomenal. KD [Kevin Durant] is phenomenal. But he is the most like him.
"Big hands. Post game. Can finish. Great leaper. Great defender. In-between game. If you beat him to the spot, bumps you off. Then you add his 3-point shooting. I never get into who's the best player. Magic is the best player, Michael Jordan is the best player, LeBron. But it's that same group."
I think there is a huge difference in giving your opinion of a player as an analyst at a pre-game show on ESPN and tampering. If they don't want that kind of talk, then they shouldn't even allow current coaches and players to be on TV.
