Why don't you discuss what is the real burning question?

Which athlete will endorse Nader?

WHAT THE ****?! I clearly gave my reasons..god damn..

you must have some serious problems to be defending a guy with that kind of history though..are you going to teach your kids to sucker punch people and run away? or endanger lives with drunk driving? or weed smoking? or being seen in videos with thugs threatening to kill people? are you going to teach your kids to choke Sasha Vujacic?..

get off that charity ****..bad guys give to charity too bro..acknowledge that..


Well, what the other person was trying to prove with the charity is that Melo actually went above and beyond with it. Its not just that he did all that charity work/donated, its how much that he did which really gets people.

And he's just a kid who has done some dumb things, doesn't make him a bad person. You claiming he was intimidating Europeans isn't exactly a bad thing, I mean its a competitive sport, right? You're acting as if he went all Scarface on em' or something.

Oh yeah, the sucker punch; that was bad, I agree, but he didn't actually run run. He took a ten game suspension for "running", what would have happened if he went all out there? I mean the man realized he messed up and acknowledged his mistake. He remember that this isn't just a random playground basketball game, its the NBA and retreated.

As for the drunk driving, I can't really say much. He had too much to drink, thought he was okay when he wasn't. That's a stupid mistake which a lot of people commit, doesn't mean they're bad people. Stupid? Maybe. A bad person? No.

And bro, the weed was not his and stop being a b**** about it. His friend messed up and suddenly that's his fault?

There are still a lot of question marks regarding the Vujacic choke and the thug video, but you have to give him the benefit of the doubt. He was messing around with those guys, didn't know he was being taped and he got screwed. Sh*t happens, get over it.

You might be surprised. Conservative suburbs across the US are full of whatever's being played on MTV, regardless of what the song's "message" is.

So Melo is a 23 yr old smoked some weed, drove drunk and all of a sudden he's the worst guy in the world? I dont see how HH can just dismiss his charity stuff. Melo donates a s**t ton of money and stuff to charities. The difference between what he and Deke do and other nba players is pretty significant.

Yeah, so he f**cked up a couple of times..who hasnt? , i'm not saying its right what he did but to ignore the good he's done, the fact that he was the unquestioned leader of a college national championship team and a two-time olympian who gave some pretty amazing performances for the country over the last couple of years is just wrong. He's a 23 yr old who grew up pretty rough, he's still maturing
