Give me a break. I still believe you are a Dolan spy.

I think a Dolan spy would probably have a screen name that has both Knicks and Love in it. (They might simplify the spelling of those words though.)

nah don't think so. it don't matter if he's in one of his dapper hats or in uniform... carmelo anthinay's a known quantity among the nba payers, coaches, gms, fans. his digital athlete charm offensive won't make a lick of difference at the end of the day, in fact it may have the opposite effect than some folks believe. "never mind how bad this team is, i am here and all will be great."

yeah right

Is that a Donnie crack? Shame on you picking on an old man in his wheelchair.

Naw, I wouldn't do that..Didn't think he did a good job here but wouldn't take a shot at him because of his age...

Give out boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios!

Which all stars are free agents?

KLove was recently told he needs to "fit in" not "fit out" in social media by LeBron..He will be there..Aldridge should be there..I think because its all star weekend that lots of players show up anyway and being in NY is just the icing on the cake...My friend had tickets to one party the last all star game in NY..He said Doc showed up in a limo with six model types..He went to the front of the line waved his hand and said "these are my peeps" as the velvet ropes drop and the line parted..My friend said other NBA players were waiting in line and a couple couldn't get in..

Melo could be like the Mayor of NYC...All doors will open for Melo all star weekend..Don't tell me these things don't matter..These are young impressionable men...
