Haven't you learned that all he is doing is trolling you all for a reaction? It's the reason he got kicked out of here the first time.

i'm taking it seriously because i find it seriously offensive.

Per your extended reasoning, the "thug" (your description of him) Carmelo Anthony takes Dick McGuire's number 15 and the next thing you know he is at your front door with an automatic weapon ready to loot your house, shoot you and take your daughters?

You are only sounding more and more like Glenn Beck.

Sad.

Hear hear. It's like any reason to talk badly about Carmelo Anthony. It gets old. It's having a bias and just plugging anything in to fulfill that bias.

You don't need to be when you consider the source. He's some guy who says things just to say them. He rambles incoherently most of the time and has been basically trolling here since he registered.

Don't get worked up if you are offended. Just wait for him to get lost again and all will be well.

isn't it ironic, dontchya think?

Are you trying to start something...again?

Pts + rbs + assists? Why on earth would you add those numbers? Because PPG are much higher than RPG and APG, all that stat really does is tell you who scores a lot of points (and regardless of the number of shots they take).

No Bonn, PTS+REBS+ASSTS is not just about points, it's about points, rebounds and assists.

If you ask the McGuire's then you are also putting the family in a bad position. Why even put them in that situation? I don't know. Retired numbered should stay retired. Melo should respect this.

Can somebody show me where melo asked?

Otherwise, why is that even being bought up? Like posting "if melo hit my wife, then I would hate him"

Knicks great Monroe says Anthony can wear 15

Earl Monroe told The Post that Carmelo Anthony can have his retired No. 15 jersey if he wants it, but the new Knicks superstar has missed the NBA deadline to change numbers for next season.
Last week after his Knicks debut, Anthony revealed he had asked Monroe about wearing No.15.
Anthony wears No. 7 because the No. 15 jersey he wore in Denver for seven seasons (and one at Syracuse) had been retired by the Knicks not once, but twice.
Monroe's 15 was retired in 1986 and again for Dick McGuire in 1992. McGuire passed away last year.
"[Carmelo] talked to me on the podium after the press conference and I told him I'm fine with it but he'd have to ask the McGuires," Monroe told The Post. "Fifteen, it's just a number to me. I'd be honored if he wore it."

Anthony missed the March 1 deadline to apply for a new jersey number for next season.
"I wish I can take it back down," Anthony said. "Talking to Earl, I don't know what I've got to go through to get it. I'll wear it in his honor."
Anthony picked No. 7 for random reasons. His son, Kiyan, has an upcoming birthday March 7. Anthony's high school number (22) minus his NBA number (15) equals seven.
The new No. 7 merchandise flew off the racks at the Garden during Anthony's first game as a Knicks last Wednesday, selling out. Garden officials have kept reordering, and Anthony's jersey is now one of the most common seen in the arena.
Monroe and Anthony have something else in common -- both are Baltimore basketball stars. Monroe played for the Bullets before coming to the Knicks. Anthony grew up there.
"I usually follow players who wear 15 more closely," said Monroe, who announced this week the formation of an amateur tournament between New York and Los Angeles -- the Peoples Games.
Monroe said he does not see Anthony leading the club to a deep playoff run this season, however.
"They need an inside presence," Monroe said. "They'll have to address that issue and be on track to do something better next year before New York becomes a championship city again."

No Bonn, PTS+REBS+ASSTS is not just about points, it's about points, rebounds and assists.

Points are a much bigger number and thus carry a ridiculously disproportionate amount of weight in the total statistic.

Point escapes you.
