Looked to me like Lee's extent to the entire thing was a couple of pushes....sort of similar (a bit worse) to what Chandler was involved in. If the other players hadn't escalated it I doubt that anyone would be suspended...actually I'm shocked that Curry didn't get suspended.
I did watch the video & don't think that he should've been suspended but I really was just pointing out the national media hypocrisy on this issue. If Lee was suspended for instigating the initial situation then shouldn't KG also have been suspended instead of being a master manipulator & savvy vet who got into Melo's head??? And since he was suspended why isnt his leadership & maturity being criticized by all the same people that claim he's an All-Star now & we never should've let him go??? I'm just looking for a fair standard to be applied equally by both the media & the fanbase.
kg and lee are not comparable situations. one was mental and the other physical.
also, as you have admitted, agreed, conceded that it was a mistake that lee and hibbert should have been suspended, why even make it an issue?
you are putting the cart before the horse here. you are saying that, since he was suspended, it in fact was an indictment on his leadership and maturity. but since it was wrong to suspend him then it is also wrong to accuse him of not being a leader and lacking maturity.
make sense?
knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%
