If he doesn’t like fan criticism he needs to transfer to somewhere like Louisville where no one gives a ****
He’s right“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!!!
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.Yeah, bc S Carolina St is such a juggernaut, huh? If you’re impressed by that win & Ware’s numbers then idk what to tell you.
Uh....no.Lol. Half of this board could probably do the same against S Carolina St.
You just described 90% of this board.He sounds like a weak-minded loser. Focus on what you can actually control, your mediocre basketball skills.
Lol, most of you all couldn't do that playing against your kids in the driveway.Lol. Half of this board could probably do the same against S Carolina St.
Ah you want a cookie?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.
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 .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.
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?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.
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.Lol, most of you all couldn't do that playing against your kids in the driveway.
Let me guess: you constantly rail about "participation trophies" to anyone who'll listen.He sounds like a weak-minded loser. Focus on what you can actually control, your mediocre basketball skills.
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 ****!
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.“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.

You sure seem to talk a lot of **** to other posters, ANONYMOUSLY, JLoad22. If you have such a problem with it then don’t be a hypocrite.Ware riled up the anonymous peanut gallery and they WILL be heard……anonymously.
A regional championship.....wow! You're basically Phil Jackson!Its a freaking message board Jload , A real name being posted means nothing . Zero . Foolish , childish request .

JVSure, 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.
Hyperbole, remember?JV. Did you play?
You have never been paid to go to school either. On top of that Ware should be on bench.“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.

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.“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.

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!Yes and we have the right to respond to his opinion.
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.
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.

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

So sorry for you.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….
Oh they give a ****. They just have a program that is a dumpster fire and not much reason to care at this time.If he doesn’t like fan criticism he needs to transfer to somewhere like Louisville where no one gives a ****
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.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
