Former Boston Celtics wing Wally Szczerbiak was only with the storied franchise for a single season, but he spent an entire decade in the NBA playing alongside legends of the game such as Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant.
That earned the onetime University of Miami player plenty of floor time with NBA referees, who called the game differently than today. Szczerbiak works as a color commentator for the sport he made a career out for himself. So the former Boston small forward has a unique perspective on the league’s current officiating.
Speaking in a recent interview for the “Dan Patrick Show,” Szczerbiak gave his point of view about the refs in 2022-23, as well as his time as a player in the NBA.
He even makes predictions about the NCAA tournament we can look back on with the benefit of hindsight — to hear what Wally World said about refs and more about the league of today, check out the clip embedded above.
