This is a racist thread. So he robs people? Jumps them and takes their paper? He is moving weight? Because he doesn't speak the way you like, he is a criminal?

Orangeblobman is probably more a thug than Melo. Mans got a record.

look, MANY nba players had a past. stoudamire had MAJOR problems throughout his teenage life and early nba career. melo was a knucklehead too. remember we are about 4 years remove with him fighting at the very place he calls homecourt. but people grow up. anthony carter was a street hustler and he turned it around. so i am going to say no because he grew up.

"racist" is just a term some people use when they want to end discussion and avoid reality. I laugh at "racist" labels.
Melo has to play team basketball or he's a thug. Thugs play streetball with a bunch of iso's. He needs to come around and move the ball. WE AIN'T NOWHERE WITH THIS BUM CHOKER IN CARMELO. GIVE ME STARKS'S 2-21 ANY DAY OVER THIS LACKLUSTER CLUSTEREFF.

I laugh at "racist" labels. so every person who plays iso is a streetball thug? come on now. i wont say these are "racist" comments but a little elitist thinking that someone from a lower socioeconomic background is automatically a thug. |

Racist is a term some people use when they think someone is being racist. Why not just say he is a selfish player, or a ball hog. Why does he have to be a "thug"? I don't care what people think.

This thread is sure to get someone banned...and no, Carmelo is not a thug. He's hood, but he's not a thug. There is a difference...

I'm not the first by any means to use the term "thug" on this forum. I just created a new thread to increase a discussion that had occurred in another thread about the character of a player who we've committed max dollars to for four years. |

I laugh at "racist" labels. okay, then explain. how has he acted in the past year that makes you think he portrays that thug image? tats, swagger? he isnt out there throwing coaches under buses or getting into fights. like i said he has been a knucklehead in the beginning of his career but he has done nothing in the past few years to be labeled a thug. i think lebron is more of a thug and unlikable than melo by a longshot. |

I wasn't referring to you specifically, my comment was intended for everyone. The topic is discussion worthy, but you know what happens when race gets involved. |

I think MooK is right, hood is the better word.
