This whole incident has been pathetic- the reaction to his extremely mild comments are a joke, and the fact he's been forced to apologize is pathetic. I mean how much s*** gets thrown at our players all year round by exactly the same people who burst into tears about Wally's Haliburton comments?

I see it different. Thought it was very classy by Wally. He went in on Halliburton and it shocked me. It seemed a little out of character. Maybe 🤔 his wife said you should apologize, but I’m not going to speculate. Classy by Wally to say that.

Yep, Wally let his homerism get the better of him. We get it, but it wasn’t a good look for him.

Just a short clip, but Tyrese seems like a good dude…

The above said… if the player in question was the villain type, I would be a hypocrite in that situation, and would have been laughing my ass off at Wally’s comments.

Eff him. If he's not playing for us then he's scum. Still an all star players but scum nonetheless.

No... But if I were him I'd tell you to stop staring at Rebecca like that

I kinda like it when Wally goes in. I think he was just trying to pump up Brunson and Randle as being more deserving of an all star bid over Tyrese. And he was all fired up after the Knicks made that stirring comeback win so he went in a little too hard. Got a bit too Long Island. All good.

It's this or the reports of Dolan using face recognition technology to ban lawyers seeking litigation against him The Knicks need another winning streak...

Yeah I saw that. A woman who is a lawyer in a firm that has an active lawsuit against Dolan or his holdings got the boot from Radio City which I guess is part of his empire at a Rockettes show where she had brought Girl Scouts. Crazy that is what they have an eye out for. Not a good look -- probably why media jerk offs like to clown us so.

OK - So Dolan said- any lawyer suing us can not come on to our premises. Because I’m petty!

The facial recognition is supposed to make the venue safe- and the lawyer might well have staged this for publicity.

I believe the firm is behind a suit I think saying if you have a liquor license, you can’t discriminate- and they do that with this ban. I think that is it. I might have been overlooking the bits that are important.

See that is a tech practice that I could see another law suit being filed for and a court decision being made on. Because it’s either legal or illegal but something needs to be on the books. Yes you can refuse service, but using technology to pinpoint a person for actions that normally wouldn’t lead to a ban could be seen as a form of harassment. It’s not a industry norm to ban lawyers from a venue.

The twist is they notified her of the ban, but still just because you wrote it on paper doesn’t make it legal… This feels like a lawsuit that gets bumped up to the appeals court because scholarly minds need to make a decision that sets precedent. I can’t see it going viral because it’s technical.

What’s really interesting is she is the exact person to do it to to lead to that lawsuit, and it’s eventual appeal. If it does go that far in the courts 100 years from now when Dolan is long dead, that might the lasting legacy of his life. A lawsuit on facial recognition

Seems like Congress or at least NY should issue legislation on this. I think we all support keeping public venues safe, but no one would be for denying service because you don’t like someone.

Dolan going down in history as a loser is definitely, sadly, probably in his future.

Classy would have been not saying such dumb stuff about Hali in the first place. I mean, one could never imagine Clyde saying anything dismissive about a player. Wally would do well to take some lessons on manners and decorum from Clyde.

I also do not understand how Wally got to be a commentator for MSG when he had virtually no ties to the Knicks at all.
