To respond to all the fans who picked on Frye’s parents, it is disappointing to see acts like such being committed. It is one thing to agree or disagree with a person’s views. But to insult one’s family in the name of expressing an opinion is in no way acceptable. Acts like these need to stop for it doesn’t do any good to the society.
What comments did Channing Frye make about Michael Jordan?
Frye, a former teammate of LeBron James, obviously holds him in high regard. Frye won his only NBA championship playing alongside James for the Cleveland Cavaliers. As he edges towards the three-time champion in the “GOAT” debate, Frye ridiculed MJ for his tough-guy persona on the court.
He appeared on the Talkin’ Blazers podcast, where openly spoke about the six-time champion. “He only had really one job. And that was to just score. And he did that at an amazing, amazing rate,” Frye stated. Though this is a point in MJ’s favor, it is provoking to say that MJ only had one job.
