    Looks like we get to add broadcasting to the list of things that Meyers is stiff, slow, and awkward at.

    Deron looked like he was so happy to be there.

    Don't bash the guy for trying a new career.
    He's got to find something he's good at.

    Yeah that is rough. I don't think I can watch all of it... CJ must have said no.

    Before the KD segment I was going to call this the DNP coaches decision series

    Meyers even hesitates before saying right on...there's this pause...blank expression, then ...right on!

    Jesus Christ that was so painful. That poor bastard needs to find a nice ranch in Burns to retire in with his smoking wife and nice jeep and stay far away from human interaction. Fuck that was brutal.

    It wasnt that bad. Jeez, give the guy a break. You guys treat Meyers like the fuckup stepkid you never had, constantly critiquing him. Ill admit he's no late night host, but damn, i read the comments before i watched the video and half expected him to slip on a banana peel and fall into a giant pie based on you guys' reactions.

    I watched them and he is akward and slow but so is pretty much every player who does those. Very few who haven't done it for years are good at it and make it seem fluid.

    We didn't put him on camera here or make him dance to Michael Jackson's tune or grow a Bee Arthur hairdo......you put it out there you're going to get a reaction....my reaction...it was uncomfortable to listen to or watch...and in fairness I'd say that about any player that gave those interviews...grade...D...

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Bashing Leonard is now a forum hobby. It's fun and how we blow off steam. Everyone's gotta have a hobby.

    Also, watching basketball. But, mostly, bashing Meyers Leonard.

    Certainly beats bashing basketball and watching Meyers Leonard.

    Ok, I watched 24 seconds. Not the worst athlete interview I've ever seen but still pretty bad. I did like his fart look he made to look interested. Kinda scrunched his face up and moved his arm. Very animated.

    Sadly, I fear he's better at this than his real job.

    He's already almost better than Shaq.
