The Story in 60 Seconds

Writer Ian Goodwillie criticizes Sacramento Kings head coach Doug Christie for making dismissive postgame remarks about Miami Heat forward Giannis Antetokounmpo following a loss. After Antetokounmpo successfully hit contested mid-range shots, Christie remarked to the media that Sacramento could live with those attempts and claimed Antetokounmpo probably would not make them in the next game.

Goodwillie argues that Christie looks petty by questioning an accomplished MVP instead of addressing Sacramento's poor 1-9 start to the season. The column strongly urges the Kings organization to part ways with Christie, asserting that his leadership has rendered the team an absolute mess.
