Former NBA player Matt Barnes makes a comment about the Los Angeles Lakers’ offseason roster, calling it the “whitest Laker team since the Minneapolis Lakers,” in an interview segment with TMZ Sports.
The remark comes amid a near overhaul of the Lakers’ roster during the offseason. Outlets covering the clip frame it as Barnes using humor to discuss the team’s composition rather than as a report on on-court performance. While the Yahoo Sports NBA item references the same video and quote, the coverage differs mainly in how much context they provide about the Lakers’ roster changes and the surrounding commentary.
