Seems the Melo Fan Club has fallen silent.

This comment is just sad. You are really looking for people to battle with this badly over an ESPN article? Really?

Yep. And if you read the article the interview was from October 14th not now when the team is spiraling. Sad is a good description.

Like it matters. He is saying this stuff AFTER landing his big contract. His priorities are clearly more about having an 18% stake in some start-up that makes it to an IPO than he is about investing his heart and soul into the Knicks. Those words are odious, so backdate them a month all you want, its still his words and they are eggregious. He is a dope.

No, I'm looking for someone to show us how it is OK to say this garbage. I'm looking for one of those who reflexively defend Melo against all criticisms to explain how they can defend a guy who says this kind of stuff.

That's the bait I left by saying the above. I really would like to know.

Apparently not a single person has anything to contribute about how this is OK, how it is helpful or constructive for the Knicks to have their centerpiece talking like this.

Instead, people want to talk about the date of quotation as if they caught me in some blunder. I pulled this off of ESPN's wire today. He said it very recently.

He said if this season. That's what relevant, not what precise date he said it. It's indefensible and I'd like to see someone defend his words, not attack mine (I can defend myself just fine, that's not the point).

All you are doing is baiting. Not contributing whatsoever.

And what are you contributing by baiting back? Nothing.

Can you tell us what his words mean to you or not?

No. So many star athletes out there doing stupid things. By comparison he is not even close.

you're pathetic. I kind of enjoyed your comedic post...brought some humor to a rather gloom situation but you're finally showing your colors. Just another Dk7th, Guns clown. smh

I personally could care what this man does on his personal time, with his money (as long as its nothing illegal).

We see a young rich athlete who is actually planning for life after Basketball...putting his money in something other than cars, cristol and strippers....and we frown upon it?

Responding to Splat saying this was said when the team was spiraling. Watch the games. Read the articles. Ssdd.

i've been watching the games as you can see from the game threads-- you? i saw the video where he was getting a very public blowjob. don't need to read the article since it is exactly the same garbage. if he is saying this as his team is disintegrating how does that make things better?

your defense of this tool is straight up embarrassing.

It matters if you call him a 'fucktard' because he said it when the team was spiraling. He said it almost 5 weeks ago.

It changes nothing. He doesn't care about winning anymore. He has already moved on emotionally from trying to secure his legacy as a basketball player. He said it. Not us. He doesn't want to be measured by results on the court, but by what he does in the future after basketball. Nice of him to tell us AFTER getting paid.

You weren't calling him names and saying he did this interview when the team was spiraling. That is what Splat did. Not accurate.

Yep. Bastard. Whore. Thief. I stand by those words. His words speak for themselves today or a month ago. It doesn't change anything. Those are his words. This season. After he got paid. Anything else?

Sure. Same stuff basically was said by him in September. He talks about it in October and you spin it to say he is a 'fucktard' saying it right now when the team is struggling. Seems like a witch hunt. Glad I know where you stand.

Glad to know your only concern is dating comments, not the actual statements made by Melo himself. Glad to know you are able to defend him by default when you've said nothing about his actual statements and choose to continue nitpicking. You support Melo evidently or else you'd have something to say about his comments. All I've heard in this thread is all ballplayers are greedy bastards as if that is a qualification. This our centerpiece. He is on our team. That is who matters, not any other player. You support this nonsense then. Cool.

splat is saying that melo's words just further alienate a big part of the fanbase that expected better performance and effort from the knicks this season, that part of the fanbase that regarded the contract he received as distasteful and foolish, but who were willing to take a wait and see approach.

melo is about melo, always has been and always will be. knick fans who support his behavior deserve exactly the team they get.

"phil, i really don't want-- or need-- the max. i have made more than enough money to be set for life. i am not happy with the losing and mediocrity here in new york, much of which is on me since i am the putative franchise player. and because i admit that i initially forced my way here and had to lie in the bed i made, i will take 80 million over the next five years because i want to have the best chance of winning in new york. i know that winning in new york will cement my legacy, make my legacy bullet-proof. and i also know that by giving up all that money it will create permanent goodwill with the city because i will be known as a player who put winning and sacrifice before personal gain. at the end of the day i will still have tens of millions left to invest wisely and maintain my brand, which will only be enhanced if i become a winner on the court. i want to personally thank my friend dk7th for patiently talking sense to me and the 5 million dollars i paid him for mentoring me is the best money i have ever spent."
