Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic made headlines after his fiery rant about refereeing during the game against the Los Angeles Lakers. While a plethora of fans supported the coach, one former player took another road.

Rajakovic highly criticized the game's refereeing crew after the Lakers shot 23 free throws in the fourth quarter compared to just two by the Raptors. Rajakovic called this situation BS and proclaimed that he received no explanation from the officials, and it was not the first time it happened.

Following the Serbian specialist's comments, a former NBA player, Evan Turner, didn't support the coach.

"You gotta let your assistant coaches do the ran when "you have an accent," Turner wrote in a now-deleted Instagram comment. The comment stayed online for under an hour.

Interestingly, Turner himself battled with a speech impediment his entire childhood and adolescence after being involved in a serious car accident at the age of three.
