Again, the DBR on its front page takes a shot at Greg Hansen ("the lowest regard"), but without explanation. Can anyone link the articles or explain what led to this low esteem?
I am not defending Hansen, or questioning whether the assessment of Hansen is valid, I am just curious as to the history. I find the situation there to be very interesting, and have spent some time in Arizona and have family there. It is commonly understood that there is a bitter feud between Hansen and Olsen, and many UA supporters detest Hansen, I just can't track down the history.
While the linked article superficially appears to be fair reporting, it is instructive that the information about Andre Iguodala and Marcus Williams is derived from other articles. It does not appear that Hansen obtained this information for himself. Doesn't sound like great reporting. Hansen was the beat writer at the time Iguodala and Williams were playing at UA, why didn't he have that info years ago?
Any info on the history of the Hansen/Olsen feud or the DBR opinion of Hansen would be appreciated.
