The Art Of ... Dealing With The Media
Author: Joe Gabriele
Publication: Cavs.com
There’s so much more to being a professional basketball player than just playing professional basketball.
At this level, players attend community and season ticketholder events, participate in marketing and promotional activities and yes – deal with members of the media on an almost daily basis.
We’re not that bad. But it’s not always easy for guys to answer questions after a tough loss (or a good win) – knowing their words could get twisted or taken out of context. It’s not uncommon for a single article in a single outlet to wreak havoc on an entire locker room.
Cavaliers veteran big man Channing Frye is as good with the media as any player who’s ever rolled through Cleveland. He’s affable, intelligent, available. He never gives canned answers, has an incisive sense of humor and – after co-chairing one of the most successful podcasts in sports – genuinely understands the give-and-take that comes with the job.
