Knicks FINALLY acquire Carmelo Anthony (and Chauncey Billups)

[EmpireWF]

Everyone has their opinion of him, I personal cant stand the guy or any player that demends trades and shit because their team isnt winning or things are going their way. The season starts and the guy is all Denver "this is my team, I never demended a trade"

Two games into the season "I want out of here"

I don't think he ever demanded a trade (at least not publicly). All he's said is he is not signing the extension anytime soon.

Who are your favorite NBA players?

I'll play the game and respond so you can rip them but..

To be honest I really dont watch NBA since the days of Jordan and the Bulls. the game changed too much. I actually did watch the entire Bulls game last night. Since I got HD a few years ago Ive been following it a little more mainly in the playoffs.

Melo - just has this THUG image for me, for how gay this may sound, other then some of the stuff I already posted, he was PUNKed one time and at that point I really liked him, put the way he acted and started trashing the hotel room and the stuff coming out of his mouth. I thought you piece of shit.

My players I liked/like Im old school like I said I really dont follow the NBA players.
Iverson - I know he had the THUG image but I respected the way he played for a 6foot guy diving on the floor and shit and mixing it up.

Dirk

David Robinson

J Noah- I hated him, was pissed when the Bulls drafted but his play has turned my opinion of him.

Barkley - Loved this guy. Got to meet him about 5 or 6 times after games is the nicest player I ever met.

I honestly dont know, there really isnt any one player that I have to sit and watch

Perfect.

Thanks.

Right I admitted he was a THUG, so whats your point. I said I like the hard style ball he played and respected that.

Just because I dont watch 5 games a week doesnt mean I dont know who people are what teams are doing or whats going on in the NBA. I dont watch Hockey but i know whats going on.

ESPN has really good coverage of sports

Anyone who uses the word "thug" as an umbrella term to describe any player with tattoos is not even worth having an NBA discussion with.

womp there it is

Anyone who uses the term "thug" to describe a player with tattoos in 2011 is not even worth having an NBA discussion with.

Wilson Chandler is tatted up like no other and off the court, he is the shyest and one of the nicest dudes around.

Tats are like bling these days, majority of pro athletes have them.

Yep. Even baseball players are full of ink nowadays. A lot of them smoke weed too. They don't get labeled as thugs of course, because, well you know ...

What does this even mean? You aren't calling them this, but you are using this word to describe them? Okay ...

Next question - do you think "thug" is an acronym? Why the all caps?

Third question - why do you think they are THUGs?

Fourth question - Have you ever met a black person?

[manchild24]

What does this even mean? You aren't calling them this, but you are using this word to describe them? Okay ... Example, ESPN360 did that cool documentry on AI and they described "his THUGISH image and lifestyle"

Next question - do you think "thug" is an acronym? Why the all caps? Thought I saw it somewhere else but if you want to be a acronym OK
Third question - why do you think they are THUGs? Maybe the problems and run ins with the law, numerous controversiers during their career. Take your pick.

Fourth question - Have you ever met a black person? Yes, four guys in frat and the guys I use to run ball with college, my room mates at school, co workers. I never said a THUG or thug was a white black or whatever. Im not saying because they are all tattooed.

And to correct my post above, I DONT think Kobe is a THUG and he has tattoos.
