\n ESPN basketball analyst Jay Williams ripped players who are complaining about living conditions inside the NBA\u2019s Disney World bubble, calling them \u201ctone deaf\u201d and challenging them to think about the \u201creal everyday working Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a video posted to Twitter on Sunday, Williams \u2013 who was a standout on Duke\u2019s 2001 NCAA championship team before a motorcycle accident two years later effectively ended his NBA career \u2013 called out the handful of players who have taken to social media<\/a> to grumble about the NBA\u2019s bubble-like atmosphere in Orlando, Fla.<\/p>\n

Stars like the 76ers\u2019 Joel Embiid and the Lakers\u2019 J.R. Smith in the past few days have mocked the meals being provided to all 22 NBA teams, while Smith\u2019s teammate, Rajon Rondo, compared his luxurious hotel room to a Motel 6.<\/p>\n

\u201cNBA players cannot be tone-deaf. My NBA brothers, you cannot be tone-deaf right now in this current environment,\u201d Williams said. \u201cWe all know the life that NBA players live, you are blessed, get a chance to be on planes, get a chance to have millions of dollars in your bank account, you live a different level of life. But that is drastically different than what real everyday working Americans are going through right now.<\/p>\n

We all have the right to complain but doing it publicly is different issue. I don\u2019t need some of my #NBA brothers complaining publicly about quality of living & food accomodations in a billion dollar bubble during a pandemic. Tell me your thoughts. pic.twitter.com\/cm9JARkmO0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re in a billion-dollar bubble,\u201d he added. \u201cIf you want to complain about the anxieties you have from COVID-related issues, I get it, complain about that. We all have the right to complain about that. But when I hear NBA guys complaining about living facilities, food that they have being delivered to them, it is tone deaf. It is tone deaf. I want you to think about people who are everyday working people who are making minimum wage trying make ends meet, that are going to factories, that are going to really harsh working environments.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old Williams also criticized the teams\u2019 public relations departments for allowing players to post critical messages on social media. He said that it was \u201cnot the right look for the league right now.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo when I see guys that are going into a billion-dollar bubble, a billion-dollar bubble, and are getting food delivered to them, that have beds to sleep in \u2013 you can\u2019t complain about that,\u201d Williams said. \u201cNot while you\u2019re making millions of dollars, not while your employer is going through drastic measures to protect you while they\u2019re still paying you. When that\u2019s not the case for everyday real working Americans. That bothers me. That bothers me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NBA is aiming to start game<\/a>s July 30 with 22 of the top teams. The league has been on hiatus since March when it was suspended because of the pandemic.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
