Tim Macmahon replied, "I'm just asking you a question." Then Jason Kidd went on again and said, "And I'm just giving you a F***** answer." LMAO

No surprise here. Every fan base that Tim MacMahon covers hates him.

Imagine covering a team where the owner, coaches, and players don't like you lol.

[–] EatDeeply@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Imagine getting transferred to a new team to also cover and all of the owners, coaches, players and fans hate you also.

I would not want the mavericks owner or coach to like me.

[–] IAmAFopMan@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

oh so you're just a loser, your other comments make more sense now.

Imagine thinking a reporters job is to be liked by its subjects

[–] rumenastoenka@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Professional shitstirrer gets some truth dropped on him. Good.

[–] MDM-@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

IIRC he’ll cross the line often in the form of misleading questions, out of context quotes and headlines, or inappropriate irrelevant questions baiting the interviewee. No class. His questions sometimes are inappropriate and irrelevant to accurate reporting.

He is always teasing Bontemps about being a urine soaked blanket and here he is being a urine soaked blanket.

[–] Sickos6@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Don’t think he was being serious, just messing around with him

[–] Fluffy_Dance6101@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I genuinely don’t know how Memphis Rockets and Dallas fans deal with Tim being your national beat reporter. Top 3 worst Lowe Post guests of all time. I think he’d be worst than Plaschke if he covered the Lakers.

The sad part is the reporters love this so they can't feel like warriors to Journalist students and their peers.

[–] dead-serious@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

i feel like McMahon is the poster boy for how mediocre good-ol' boy rises the top to get you a job. he must have some great connections or is a good ass-kisser behind the scenes because his work is hot trash. if you're outside of that group no way you're getting opportunities like he does

[–] RadiantPreparation91@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’m not a fan of MacMahon, but he asked a fairly positive question: what do you attribute your team’s success in clutch situations this season?

Kidd started off with a normal answer, then switched gears, decided his feelings were hurt, and made an a** of himself at the microphone.

He wants more positive articles? All he’s done is take the focus off of the positive aspects of his team and put it on his personality flaws…all the while, tying things back to last year’s clutch failures.

McMahon seems to be the Dallas version of Joe Cowley. Just looking for controversy at every turn.

[–] chief1555@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Not sure where this idea that the team has to like the reporters that cover them comes from, journalism should be adversarial, the team shouldn’t like you. Deadspin (the original one, not the zombie version that exists now) used to have the motto of “sports news without favor, discretion or access” and I think that’s how it should be.

[–] pointguard22@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Kidd's being a snowflake. Answer the question like you're paid to do, and get different glasses while you're at it.

[–] frankcab@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Jason Kidd talks like someone who was legally mandated to take anger management classes

[–] Mysterious_Sky443@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It is a fair question I don't get why all the Mavs fans are offended. And in general McMahon always has compliments for Luka and the players, he only criticizes ownership and coaching stuff which is pretty valid if you see how the Mavs have been ran in the last years.

[–] Cuts_you_up@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

baddest dude in all the land

[–] Bajecco@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

All I know about Tim MacMahon is on the Hoop Collective podcast he often sounds like he is gargling phlegm. Dude, clear your damn throat. Prepare your voice for the podcast.
