The knicks had nothing to do with this dude giving up on trying and abandoning any type of team concept. That’s a choice he made. He chose to stay. It didn’t go well so he ditched and went for self.
King, Ewing, and spreewell always played hard. When Ewing began to break down it was tough to watch because he pushed himself to the point of physical failure trying to carry the team. He refused to take a lesser role and never stopped trying to prove he was still capable. That’s what caused issues. We were asking him to dial it back and he wouldn’t give up.
This dude right here gave up trying to push this team a long time ago. In fact he was never built like that. He’s a one on one play ground shooter that wanted to prove he was the best scorer on the floor. Sure there’s been times he’s played hard on both ends. And hustled. But those are expected. If it’s few and far between then criticism is justified.
This dude is an entertainer playing basketball creating a brand for himself for profit. And you know what? That’s all good. Get your money man. Do that. You supposed to. That’s his hustle and only a punk would knock it.
But it’s time for folks to ease back. Don’t hate on the man for getting money. And don’t hate on the knicks for not making him look like something he’s not. Stop trying to push this best player non sense on people who been around long enough to know better. You just showing your maturity, age and experience. Stand down. This dude was about his money. Respect that. But he wasn’t about that New York knicks professional basketball legacy. He was out for his. And that’s fine. Stop telling people who’s about this that they “haters”. I respect a man who’s trying to get his money. I don’t respect no one who’s cheerleading it. Especially if it’s my block. Your block. At some point that man gotta go. You better go with him.

Nonsense. This is an appreciation thread and you're in here with this.
Spree played hard all the time huh? Not true at all. Dude literally was a malcontent that choked his coach out but Knick fans put him on a pedestal.
You and no one else gets to tell other fans to "stand down" in a freaking appreciation thread. If you don't like dude why are you in here ruining the good memories some of us have? I'm not in Randle's thread shiting on him. I'm glad he's gone. Just like you're glad Melo is gone. So chuck the duece and move on.
As I said before. Only Knick fans would turn an appreciation thread into a hate filled bash thread.
