you could stand a refresher course in psychology. bryant is a vain douche who is projecting his own limitations as a player onto carmelo who shares the exact same limitations. of course bryant would sympathize with what amounts to an extension of himself. both these dudes lack utterly the ability for self-reflection and introspection. in speaking about carmelo's problems he is speaking about himself.

I think maybe you need a refresher course in being a pompous a**. Try separating,Kobe the person from Kobe the basketball player. Kobe the basketball player was talking about Melo the basketball player. And how do you know all the mumbo jumbo that your talking about above? Have you sat down with Kobe and /or Melo and talked to them to draw these assumptions in their personalities? Are you a psychologist? Or just a wanna be psychologist,sitting behind a keyboard trying to fan the flames? You can try and talk fancy all you want but to SOME of us the only stat that we care about is WINNING.

This question dk,inform us.

There are several problems with this statement.

1. You can not say that he needs a refresher in a psychology "Course" and make a statement regarding self-reflection, when you really don't fully examine this subject or it's studies until about your second full year as a psych major... and this is coming from a psych major.

2. You say Carmelo lack the "ability for self-reflection and introspection" well, really there is no need to use both words, but okay. And the first flaw in your argument is his constant acknowledgement of "GOD", if you've taken a Philosophy and religion class along with that psychology class, you will know that ... the first rule in finding "GOD" is finding yourself, which is a direct cause for self reflection.

Also his ability to point out his flaws and the change in his game this year is called "self correct", which is brought upon "self reflection".

3. Exactly, what are Kobe limitations, and if these limitations have led him to 5 championships, and potentially the second greatest sg to play the game, is this really a valid argument?

4. I agree, Kobe is an a**hole but so are other greats. Michael Jordan was the biggest one!

5. Take away Kobe statements, you still have other players stating the same exact thing. Maybe Jason Kidd, Chris Mullen and Steve Kerr are more credible in your eyes. I would take what they say to the "bank" as well.

6. See, the problem with making statements about someone's character without knowing them can lead to a lot of misunderstanding ... It works both ways, I can "judge" you and say that you have a problem with self-reflection because of your inability to forgive the trade is directly linked to the inability to self reflect.

no need to waste keystrokes on me. melo and bryant are vain douches and their games are extensions of their vanity and douchiness.

i love players who play FOR others.
i like players who play WITH others.
i DON"T like players who merely play ALONGSIDE others.

Glad you admitted your position/agenda. I disagree about Melo. At least we can watch your team mvp tonight. Also, you have posted before that you felt that Melo would have had more character if he waited until he became a free agent and then signed with the Knicks. Is this still your position and the source of your Melo hate?

he could have waited. if he could have he should have, or why bother honoring the contract you are still playing under? that is a loophole that should be changed by including incentive clauses in walk years.

it was an unethical decision he made and i hate unethical behavior.

that said, if he puts his dirk on i will be pleased.

i said i study people. everyone is a psychologist to the degree they study themselves and others. unlike you i see the games of most players as extensions of who they are as people.

this could be a fruitful discussion if you want it to be.

anyway... ok so i am not your friend. as i said no need to get bent out of shape. use the ignore button.

"Everyone is a psychologist?" Are you kidding me?? So your not a psychologist and your basing your assumptions on watching people? You have big problems dk. My youngest son went to college for 8 yrs to be a psychologist and I think him and anyone that has gone to college to get their degree in psychology would disagree with you beyond your words.How can you even say or think that?

If this is true you should be able to acknowledge freely your personal opinion of Melo, what in your opinion is his character and what in your opinion is his lack of ethics is a significant influence on your perpetual desire to discredit him as a basketball player.

If you're going to try to assert you personal feelings toward him and your evaluation of him as a player are completely independent of one another, you have NO place speaking about psychological study, of yourself or anyone else.

This would be the height of self-delusion.

Yes Knicks he is delusional and needs help. Now I have my answer. Dk has BIG problems.

You say this, but completely ignored my post with actual FACTS, where NBA insiders said he made the right financial decision. Also I gave you Melo's explanation ... broken down. Also Laid out why your psychology claim is false. But you rather keep making assumptions instead of having a discussion based upon facts.

And if you "study" people what science are you basing your claims upon, because sir it's not psychology as you tried to make it out to be. All you say is "no need to waste key strokes on me".
