You sound dumb.

Well that's a mature way to advance a conversation.

Cool story bro. I could careless about advancing a convo at this point. What he is saying sounds dumb cause he trying to paint my responses as being Naive to Melo and being a apologist. Dude knows I am not.


Since I dont want to advance a convo with you. GTFOH. mind your business. Abe can handle himself.

If you want me to stay out of your business, try not posting your comments on a public forum. There's a private message feature, as I'm sure you're aware.

He laid out a series of points about Melo and you spent an entire paragraph telling how dumb he was for sort of calling you a Melo apologist.

I responded to you because I notice a very clear theme on this board. Melo critics spend their time laying out reasons why they criticize Melo. Melo supporters spend their time insulting Melo critics. It creates a toxic environment where there doesn't need to be one.

I imagine a not-so-farfetched world in which I can criticize a basketball player without someone getting personally offended by it, but it's feeling more and more farfetched.

I'm not taking it hard at all. Your comment is emblematic of Melo discourse around here in general. That's what I'm responding to because this would be a much more pleasant place to have basketball discussions without constant childish ad hominems that consistently seem to come from one side in particular.

I'm not going to "FOH" just because you say so. Feel free to ignore me if my comments irritate you so much.

[Moose]

Its not conducive to quality discussion, why did he feel the need to just type all that? He could have kept him to himself but the moment you step in and defend Melo against clowns like that you get posters attacking you.

He didnt personally attack anyone that I saw. He replied with conviction. I dont agree with him, but if you only want opinions that you like, then this forum is going to get boring real fast.

He felt the need to give his angry opinion. You felt the need to give yours. That's how forums work.

You're missing the point smh

Tell me the point. He gave his dumb opinion on a forum about basketball players and a coach's statement.

He called Melo a stupid thug, what are you even saying right now?

He called them "dumb thugs' to be exact. Not sure which word is the offensive one.

He called melo a dumb thug, not either of you. It is a stupid opinion, since melo doesnt seem stupid or a bad person, but he didnt attack anyone personally on this forum. He said something you disagreed with, which is fine.

You said feel free to ignore somebody yet you the one quoting me from the beginning. Like I said. FOH. I don't care if someone is labeled childish by some cat who has mike breens balls in his mouth. People really care what a bunch of people that don't each know other think?

I know one thing, I will go in on you every damn time you respond to me cause like I said... You jumped in some **** that don't even need your lame ass responses. That poster don't need you to help him, and I don't give a flying **** about what YOU have to say to me on it.

I'm not the one repeatedly saying "FOH". What indication have I given that I want to put anyone on ignore?

This exchange is actually kind of fun for me because you're proving my point in real time.

Nah you proving that I don't care how I talk to YOU. Cause everyone else with I was cool with. You came in here crying about me saying what he says sounds dumb based on something that poster knows I don't do. Dude called me naive and sensitive, and I say he sounds dumb saying that based what I do choose to speak on, and here comes you Mike Breen ball gargling mouth talking about thats not "mature" You actually the first person I spoke to in this manner cause you deserve it. This maybe fun, but I don't think its as much fun as you be having when You have Breens Balls in your mouth. You must be real skinny cause you hardly have time to eat regular food. Word on the street you are a balletarian

You should see me right now because I'm visibly shook up by your insults. Tears are welling up in my eyes. Having teenagers make gay jokes at me is my absolute kryptonite.

Yes. The insults are so incisive and original. I'd never been called a "balletarian" before, but I'll never be the same again now that I have.

I really wanted FOH to mean - **** off Honey..

I'am disappointed. :/

I just read the article on him saying players are using PEDS. Dude is a Kilo of Salt yo. I mean why Dy Snitch, Name names, say who you know are doing it( has has no proof) You love the sport so much right? Dry Snitching and throwing out random theories you have won't help the sport.

Im done with this thread. Im going to need to buy a couple of bags from his salt factory, cause I will be able to melt the ice/snow on the sidewalk when it snows with as much salt that will be coming from this book when it drops.


Now that I know the full title of the book, I can expect so much salt from that cat on NBA players, and others. Its everyones fault. He is George fuccing Karl. Im out.

That cover doesn't go with that book. WTF were the publishers thinking?

[ibraheim718]

It does cause your using it tp fuel your point that everything George Karl saying is valid. This is so called proof of Melo being a "thug". Fact of the matter this video was blown up out of proportion by the media because of an NBA player. You don't know who melo will be caught dead with. Like I told you long ago. I know the dude brother. Melo still talks to what people call "shady" don't mean they bad people. He won't be caught in the hood on camera, but TRUST ME. Melo still is the same person in that video. He lost no love for the hood or those people.


There is a reason why this MILLIONAIRE went to one of the most dangerous Hoods in the world in Brazil during the olympics and took this Flick. Melo is down to earth as it gets. NEVER forgets where he comes from. They told everyone stay away from these places its dangerous. Melo wanted to go and vibe with the poor people of brazil. You seriously just like to keep piling up on the cat. You made your point long ago but seriously seem to want to rehash to the grave.

I'm not using it to fuel anything. And all that it validates is that Melo wasn't the person he is today when he was younger and more impressionable (duh) and that he did some things and ran with some people I'm sure he even regrets.

It's also not piling on when these things have been brought up before. And they will forever be brought up.

I have no issue with Melo the person either. I have a big problem with Melo the basketball player.

Y'all are just sensitive and naive.. and the apologists play this game just as unfairly as the detractors.

Let me ask you a question.. do you think Melo makes the ridiculous comment about Jeremy Lin's contract offer from Houston if he was black? Hell fuqing no (and I vowed I would never bring this up). The dude has done a gang of stupid schit in his career. People blab that I turned on Melo because Lin wasn't brought back and that's bullschit. I turned on Melo because he looked shook against Miami and because he shouldn't have been laughing commenting about another mans money. Do you know how disrespectful that is? Do you know it's the one thing all athletes know they shouldn't say?

Look Melo has done some stupid schit in his career.. and he says some stupid schit to the media. He ain't the most articulate person.. cool.. he whines to refs.. more in the past than lately. He whines to the media passive aggressively like a little baby sometimes.

And he don't give the amount of effort that guys usually do at his pay scale both in season.. in game.. and in the off season.

Deal with it.. put me on ignore if you don't want to read it. But I ain't going to change my views. Oh well.

I have the utmost respect for the Melo the father, the person, the husband.. and the Boricua in him which I am. But he was never cut out for what people (or even himself) think he was cut out for. There was hope he could be the player that would lead a team to a championship.. but he never was. And a player of his stature most certainly influenced the personnel and coaching staffs he played for and with. So it just can't be all put at ownerships feet.. he has to take some blame for that too.

His black book was the funniest schit he perpetrated since he came to New York. Come on man..

You sound dumb. I am far from a Melo Apologist or sensitive when it comes to the dude. You know damn well I am not in these comments in all these threads like others always defending Melo against whats said about him. Im one of the last people who defends Melo against all of the people who slander or have something to say about him. I only come in when dudes be far off base. Once you said that a white coach( forget about Karl) can't be a racist at all, I knew you was faulty from that point. It tells me everything I need to know about how you think on those matters. Keep hashing your point. I said what I said, and stand on it.. Make what you doing your life mission with Melo if you choose to, keeping reminding and telling the world that George Karl is correct. Make sure you are a part of that "forever" for all I care.

Ha... This dumb ass. Where did I say you were an melo apologist?

You're missing the point in my statement, that type of stuff is not conducive to quality discussion. He's the kind of poster that ruins threads with unnecessary hate of a player. If we're really trying to clean up the board then that type of stuff needs to be weeded out.

[Greenie]

Everything he said it's 100% true. Melo JR and K-Mart are dumb thugs.

Melo plays defense today? lol The only reason of Knicks switching on defense all these years was Melo not wanting to run. Melo is the guy that gives you ZERO effort so that he can shoot 40%, if he gives you 10% effort he shoots 30%. Forget about defense, this is the guy that asks for the ball and then makes ZERO effort to put himself in a position to receive the ball, it's hilarious.

It's unbelievable how a shadow of his former self like Rose so easily made himself more important to the team than Melo and so easily made it obvious why the Knicks were so terrible last year, by showing us what a superstar really is.

Melo is a fat ass cancer, that shoots 20% on layups, only idiots can still be eluded by those few games where he actually shoots the ball well, while giving you the usual ZERO effort in everything else.

The day Knicks trade this loser, it's the day the Knicks takes a huge step forward.


Oh and Karl didn't go personal he was actually making excuses for them.

This type of stuff is really allowed here.

It's a forum. He didnt attack anyone on here. He gave his opinion. Stupid or not.

Dumb thug is code for N**** in my world. It is offensive as fuq.
