not even gonna lie.

i always envisioned melo and nedleeds putting up football numbers in hamsterdam like westside legends. but i was not expecting a new day co-op.

I’ll team up with anyone if it means slandering rj

[3toheadmelo]

[Jeff Van Gully]

Lol at this thread being called Hamsterdam. I approve of this.

we called it that from day one. check the earliest posts.

cap is bunny colvin for real. down to the retirment.

Think this the first time I noticed the title saying hamsterdam. I usually don’t pay attention to what’s is in thread but I might now.

yeah, it wasn't always in the thread title. somebody put it front and center.

Toronto's full tank is hurting my guy RJ man. Let him live. He is just trying to be great.

as a harlemite, i still am trying to reconcile how i deal with benjamins. that **** is part of my DNA.

ignition remix aside, r. kelly was a lot easier to let go.

Best not to know about the artist. Cause sometimes it's impossible to look past that heinous sht

yo. never meet your heroes. there are things from my journalism days i can never discuss. people i'll never see the same.

OT from this conversation, but around 2011 or so I went to a Knicks game at Raptors. Wore my blue Mitchell and Ness Knicks jersey #10. Stood in line of a few people after the game, down at the scorers/broadcast table. When I got up to Walt he smiled seeing his jersey and said right away, I better sign that. Which I wasn't expecting, just wanted to shake his hand. I didn't have a pen so he went over to his leather case on the table, got a Sharpie and autographed on the front number. My son who was about 20 then took a picture of us together. I was beaming. I'm 6 feet tall and he is much taller of course about 6'4. I wish I'd had more to say but was able to get out he was my favorite player back in the early 70s, and how I loved watching the championship teams play. He couldn't have been a nicer gentleman. My son, an NBA fan but born in 88, said what a great guy, cool guy.

So you can meet your heroes sometimes.

i met walt under almost the exact same circumstances. when i was a kid i was lucky to be sitting in the 300 section. i was like 12 when i met him. he was just walking around the walkway by himself. i walked up to him and shook his hand and he just seemed happy to meet me. i knew who he was then but i didn't really KNOW. now when i look back, it means so much more. i came to learn that in the early 90s that was not uncommon for him to just kind of stroll around the garden and meet fans.

so, yes. you CAN meet some heroes. just always a risk of severe disappointment. not from clyde tho.

He was such a wreck of a human being, but we will all have some Michael Jackson or Jackson 5 song in our lives and we can't stop it.
Mine is The Love You Save. It just starts playing in my head. Nothing I can do about it.

look in the around the NBA thread, there have been 57 posts since the first Randle comment last night. He’s having a great series and I am happy for the guy but do we need to constantly validate his playoff turnaround this year 24/7? We’re up 2-0 on Boston let’s take care of business.

Randle?

Does Randle get a ring after the Knicks win?

FK NO

Clyde is the GOAT. Good people.

My other hero was Ali. I feel he was kind to his admirers as well.

Trading rj for og was the might be the single greatest thing that happened in our knicks lives.

Up there with...

The discovery of fire.

Inventing the wheel

Discovery of antibiotics

Invention of the WWW

Changed the course of our lives.

Preach guan0!

Rj is a good person but ultimately he wasn’t a winning basketball player. This trade was the ultimate fleece! Hopefully rj can figure out a way to be an impact player in his career. He’s still young.

We could still use IQ though, contract notwithstanding… heck, Grimes would help us right about now too.

rock with you has been my favorite song for entire portions of my life

i feel like kid michael shouldn’t count. also, he was singing songs no kid should have been able to nail the feeling on. never can say goodbye? who’s loving you? boy had that pain in him. joseph did a number.

Grimes is an excellent defender. If he opens next season the way he ended this season he will be a big commodity.

Should be starting next to Brunson. Would love a starting unit of

JB
Grimes
KAT
OG
Bridges

Grimes would help blunt the POA for WingStop.

If you sub in Mitch and Deuce for KAT and JB, that's five plus defenders on the floor

That's a sweet song. Off The Wall was in many ways better than Thriller. It was also the last album when he still seemed related to young Michael before mega stardom twisted his mind and soul.

Watching little Michael on Soul Train is still a jarring experience for the reasons you said. His delivery was more than just him being a prodigy; it was emotionally precise. I still don't think anyone can touch him as a young singer. It was a supernatural talent. Maybe being that young he could feel something beyond his years because that was the power of the beyond coming out of his mouth. He was chosen to sing like that.

His specialness became his curse. He would never be normal. All of that crap with the kids was gross, but it was also sad because never growing up is a prison he locked himself into. He was never an adult. He chose to escape reality completely and it turned him into a monster. But the music doesn't care. You can still enjoy it. There is no sin in listening.

[Synciere]

Watching this Cavs game I feel like we should revisit a possible trade for him. We used our assets to get both OG and Mikal. Would we trade Mikal and OG for Spida today?
