bro. i saw a video suggestion from a podcast i won't watch or pump that had a giant "zesty king" graphic on it. i remember the "zesty" chants in Toronto.

i hate everything about this trash ass discourse. nobody wins.


I agree. It's homophobic nonsense.

Karl is zesty, and i don't give a f*ck. Neither does Jordyn Woods, his coaches, and teammates. There's nothing wrong with how he conducts himself. People need to grow up or better yet stop trying to define someone's manhood by dumb, toxic standards.


I never heard the term zesty before this. But he has a girlfriend Jordyn Woods right? I don't get it. It's just about his mannerisms?
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

That's the look of a player hamstrung early in the game by the refs trying not to collect another foul because he didn't have a good angle to make a clean contest of the shot.

The Knicks have exceeded my expectations! It’s championship or bust from here on out.

Was it really bad for Celtics to take that many 3s? I heard 46 uncontested shots. If that was the case then why not?

House money. Boston has a TON of pressure to win. Need to keep the defensive wing aggression up. Take the crowd out early. Do it!

A lot of people don't like KAT because they project their latent homophobia onto him and want to make sure the world knows they don't associate with him.

Some are just skeptical of him for basketball reasons and that's perfectly fine. Nobody has to like him as a basketball player.

But the zesty comments are in most cases purely a homophobic expression.

A lot of sports fans suck, let's be honest. Knicks fans are not exempt.

Yeah, his mannerisms

It's really silly, and yeah his gf Jordyn is gorgeous. The same person he was with when he had to miss a game because someone in her family died and then Draymond said a whole lot of BS about Karl.

Yep. If it was about his defense and what not, I get it. But a lot of it is dudes being homophobic and it's a shame they can't hash out their own internal issues with their own sexuality instead of projecting it onto Karl.

It's really weird behavior.

I tend to think he is soft/passive but that last game before he got into foul trouble he was going at the Celtics bigs every possession and calling for the ball. Stuff like that I like to see. Horford is like 39, KP isn’t healthy, Korner is a career back up. KAT should Punish them.

I also think KAT could get into better shape but if he is willing to post up being chubby is actually not a disadvantage. It’s padding.

Idk he just reminds me of suburban kid. Our whole team reminds me of suburban kids and they don’t have that streetball edge to them except maybe Mitch who comes off as country but he’s chill too.

KAT... it's time to bring it all together.

They ain’t coming out doing anything except shooting more 3s. Maybe they fall maybe they don’t.

We have the data to show that they become a worse 3 pt shooting team as the playoffs continue. We have OG making it tough on Tatum and they have a hobbled JB scared to drive.

They’re gonna be putting up 3s like they always do. If they decide to start driving hard and getting every whistle imaginable then you already know who made the call.
