OT: KG insults Melo's wife - Melo goes to C's locker room

[Crazy_NBA_Fan]

Wouldn't that be a complement? Calling his wife a carmel/honey treat? And saying Happy Mother's Day to TD, isn't that paying respect?

Point is, you can construe everything KG says (outside the supposed 'cancer patient' remark), that's the beauty of his trash talk - it walks the line between being a smart ass and being cruel.

I think the Happy Mother's Day comment was more so calling TD a woman/mother than dissing TD's mom who died of breast cancer a day before his 14th BDay.

Said Anthony: "Nothing happened for me to be suspended," adding, "I just wanted to know what was being said, where was all that coming from. Whatever was being said on the basketball court, where was it coming from?"

Translation:

"I just wanted to know - you ****in' my wife?!"

I can't take KG seriously after the whole "Anything is Possible!!!" thing

The guy is a caricature of himself.

This sounds unfamiliar, care to explain?

LOL the guy just won the Championship. He was just overwhelmed, anything could have come out of that guy's mouth at that moment. People forget this is the same KG who couldn't win on his own in Minnesota in the playoffs except for that 1 season when Cassell and Sprewell helped him.

Well, I agree. Nothing wrong with it.

If KG did call CV a "cancer patient", then he was out of line there. But he wouldn't have known TD's mother was dead, and this Honey Nut Cheerios thing is just too funny to be offended by it.

Calling Lala a honey nut cheerio? Wow...I wonder what Lamar would do if KG calls Khloe a white chocolate cookies and cream?

I hate to agree with HP but really the only way to deal with trash talk is to ignore it or reply with better trash talk. Once you let any action of a bully like KG get into your head it just sets you up for permanent bully status. Here is the proper response Melo should have done.

Option A
KG: Your wife taste like honey nut cheerios
Melo: I know she is sweet as hell. Your wife tastes like &%*ing oatmeal. Your mother on the other hand is puuuure sugar.

Option B
KG: Your wife tastes like honey nut cheerios
Melo: (says nothing until he scores on KG) How'd that taste?

Option C
Nothing



Option F-
flip out and go screaming like an 8 year old saying you can't say that about my wife.

[fredericklove]

Option C is what Andrea would mostly do.

I don't think KG has to worry about dismantling Lamar. He does that on his own.

[Shaazzam]

What a poom poom.

[ROBBS]

I'm gonna be sad when KG retires.

She looks good, but for some she isn't a high class women. I see you fredrick.

A lot of posters here just hate Carmelo so they're supporting KG.

If this was said to a likable guy such as Steve Nash, Derrick Rose, etc. and he reacted similarly then I bet that people here would comment how it was justified and how classless Garnett is.
