“It’s easy for people or fans to point their fingers and other people to point their fingers and get on Twitter and type stuff about you,” Ware told reporters Thursday night. “But I’m pretty sure none of them have ever played in a game like that, and never will. Never been in my position or anybody on my team’s position. So it’s kinda funny to see people talk about stuff they don’t know anything about. They just watch.”

Kind of a snide remark. Yes, we watch but care. If we didn't there wouldn't be a fanbase called BBN. Just bc I've never put on the UK jersey doesn't mean I'm not invested or know nothing about basketball. Quite the contrary. I've been a UK fan for longer than he's been alive. So let's suffice to say we both have unique perspectives of caring about the program but recognize it's for the same cause. Don't crap where ya eat Lance!!!
He’s right

So since UK fans have never played D1 basketball, we don’t know anything about it?

We are just people who pour our money, time, and emotional energy into a basketball team for decades yet don’t bother to learn anything about the game and how it should be played/coached?

Get real Lance.
Ah you want a cookie?

Wasn’t impressed at all but not gonna take pot shots at him while hiding anonymously. Talk about wimpy. Put your real name and picture behind your trashing of him. I won’t hold my breath.
Its a freaking message board Jload , A real name being posted means nothing . Zero . Foolish , childish request . Anyway I was a member of a regional championship team in hoops ( had a former UK player on the team ) , a member of a regional champion in baseball , coached 2 different HS teams to a elite 8 and 1 to a final 4 as recently as 2 years ago ( not hoops) , turned around a failing small college team into a winner in 2 years ... so I know a thing or 2 about winning and coaching , and players ... does that make my anonymous comments carry any more weight ? not really .

No, I’d never put my name on this board after what happened to Jason Spear. The psychos are rampant, here. But, you should still hold your breath. I haven’t said one thing about being a tough guy. Just stating facts. But, you seem to like the tough guy act by calling me wHimpy for pointing out the obvious. Wonder if you’d say that in person?

I’m sorry but I don’t blame Lance. Entitled grown men literally cussing these players out and expect them not to respond??? Sounds to me that you all have talked too much trash behind a screen and now mad that you’re being called out on your BS. The internet definitely has made people comfortable with disrespecting other people and not getting punched in the mouth for it.

I would get mad too if I’m a major D1 player and I have people who have never played organized basketball trying to tell me how to play.

Y’all need to chill and realize, yes us fans are important, but you can’t continue to cross barriers and expect these players not to respond.

Fans are entitled to be able to say what they want to the players but they can’t respond to your BS??? Sounds like you’re a liberal to me! 🤷‍♂️

This just makes me love and respect Lance even more. If what he said bothered you, it's because it is true and your poor, feeble minds are having a hard time accepting that. He has a right to his opinions, just like you have a right to yours. Don't like it? Tough ****!

Ware riled up the anonymous peanut gallery and they WILL be heard……anonymously.

If he doesn't like people talking or being negative about him he probably should reconsider playing pro basketball because it goes with the territory. With that said people who tag athletes in their negative tweets are some of the worst humans on earth.

For the love of god, do some of you not understand hyperbole?! I even said that in the follow up post. But, like I said, not all of us are unathletic slobs who have never played.
Sure, I understand you're hyperbolic. 😉

Most of you are unathletic (fat) slobs who didn't play. Maybe not all, but most. But that really isn't relevant. Because regardless of whether you used to play ball or not, I guarantee none of you played it at this level or dealt with the **** our players do. So you have no idea what it's like, even if you played on your jv team or whatever.

Here comes the Hall of Fame credentials… 😂😂😂 I’ll bet $500 you can not prove any of that success!! I’ll literally PayPal you $500 if you can prove just one part of your statement. I’ll wait…….

😂 Nobody “likes” being **** on unless they have a weird fetish. Some are just better at ignoring it. It also goes the same way - if you as a fan don’t “like” him giving it right back then either don’t tag him or make comments. It’s not like fans live behind some invisible wall

That's really what Lance was trying to say.

I would guess some of the mean spirited comments on here are a measure of disappointment due to a loss. If we could not write anything on social media that we would not say if we met them in person it would be an improvement. This board in regards to Cal is a reflection of the political climate that exists today.

You have never been paid to go to school either. On top of that Ware should be on bench.

Lance is exactly right. The ones on this board that run their mouth all the time about how bad the coach or the players are probably have never picked up a basketball. They are great backseat drivers but put them in the driver's seat and they have no idea what they are doing.

Right. And he has a right to respond to that. It seems you're the one having a hard time understanding and accepting that. You're literally on an anonymous message board complaining because someone said something you don't like. You aren't even brave enough to respond directly. Ware sure was though!

I don’t care what he said. He gave his opinion. What’s wrong with that? We all want the same thing. I don’t care how we get there as long as we get there. Guys finding their roles right now. That’s how you build a team. As I said before, everybody on this team has a role to play. If they venture away from their role then we will not be winning any championships. Everybody can’t play 40 minutes and average 20 and 10. Except Oscar. The rest of these guys either buy in and sacrifice or decide to get their own and we lose to another version of St Peters. As each year passes I care less and less….

It is one thing to type stuff on here and vent, it is a total other thing to tweet at the players and coaches.

Folks tweeting mass negativity at people directly are f'ing insane in my opinion. That is just messed up.

Messed up and incredibly weak. Typical in our current culture where people engage in “digital war” daily. Haha….I would say it’s funny but it’s really just stupid.

I love ware to death. He’s fights. He hustles. He’s a team player despite his limitations.

But just once, just once i’d love for a player, coach, anyone in the athletic department to respond to fan criticism with “you know…if they didn’t care whether we won or lost what good would that do us?”

Nope, it’s always gotta be “us against the fans”. Which is a whole lot of Calipari talking. He loves playing the “us against the world card” and he doesn’t consider his own fans a part of that because he believes he’s above criticism from the people that actually carry the program in down years. Of which he’s actually had several.

here is another aspect of it

thanks to the NIL, Ware is a paid professional, as are all of them.

now the fans and for that matter the school doesn't pay him, but local business who expect to profit from Cat fans do.

I know mediocrity when I see it. Lance is barely mediocre at the D-1 level.

I agree with you. Don't accuse him for being sensitive over criticism and then blast him for clapping back and hurting your feelings. This is the only form of "social media" that I have and I may vent on here but I honestly doubt any players come here to read these comments and if they do God help them. 😂
