Miami Heat's Josh Richardson Responds To "Selfish" Locker Room Guy Report

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson chose to defend himself instead of ignoring it.

A recent claim had Richardson taking to social media to shut it down. In a story from Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix, an NBA scout was quoted as saying Richardson was a "selfish" locker room presence.

"Josh Richardson has really struggled since he left there but yet at the same time, he still produced numbers and been annoying defensively,” the scout said. “You hear stuff about him in the locker rooms, that he might be a little selfish and whatnot. Well, if there’s any place that won’t be a factor it is Miami. So I bet you see a really good Josh Richardson. So that’ll help replace some of what they lost.”

Richardson, who is in his second stint in Miami, decided to respond.

Here's what he wrote on X (formerly Twitter): "lol i would love to see someone find 1 person from any organization i played for besides Dallas (had my personal issues there) call me selfish."

Richardson bounced around the league after being part of the Jimmy Butler trade in 2019. After the Philadelphia 76ers, he had stints with the Dallas Mavericks, Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs and New Orleans Pelicans.

Will be interesting to see when the Heat play the Mark Cuban and the Mavericks after Richardson's claim.
