Interesting take by Melo. Hmm, let's see. Be grateful for the $124 million bestowed upon you paid by "New Yorkers" to Jimmy Dolans pocketbook, or just give them the verbal bird. "NO. Phuck You Melo"....says every true New Yorker.

Seriously dude? This is just pathetic. Are you Mike Lupica? Are you on Mike Lupica's payroll somehow? Or are you just on Mike Lupica's dik?

ummmmm, maybe they're not as honest? Ummmmm, are they all supposed to say the same thing? Are they all supposed to have the same exact take on everything? Are you a Communist or something?

weather cleared and we just sat in traffic. no floods, nothing but lots of people. Phuck NY!!!!!!!
Fly in and out of LaGuardia. Nuff said. Phuck NY.

Far more things to love than hate. I get what Melo was saying.

Haters will hate.

Some more defense and some more passing can change everything. Or fuk that team player bull sh1t and just win.

If you don't win you better make sure that NY thinks that you did everything that you can to try.

Again, not a bad guy at all just does not really get it sometimes.

Ewing was all the above and then some...What happened there?

he didn't pass enough and had a sh1tty personality.

He also finger rolled and made a bonehead guarantee.

You can make up a reason to hate everyone in NY..Look at Eli and Coughlin..U have to be like Jeter to get over..Win 5 times and have no public persona..

Why do u care about Ewing's sh1tty personality..You are best friends with the press now?

I care become it made me fall in love with him less. Love is love.

Dude played hard and left it on the court is all I cared about...

I care about many things other than effort. Brains, Selfishness, and personality count a lot for me as well.

Balkman played hard and left it all on the court too.

You must love soap operas..I could care less the relationship players have with the press..The press tear them down then buddy buddy the following day...I don't blame Ewing..
Balkman sucked and wasn't taking this team toe to toe with MJ every year...

duh on balkman ... I knew that you would pick on that with a silly response.

I could care less what the press thinks. They are mostly tools.

I hate soap operas.

I hate selfish ball. Nothing bothers me more than a player who does not share the ball enough.

Ewing was an excellent player but I just did not love him and its not just because he did not win. Don Mattingly never won but NY was sickly crazy over him.

Well that's where we differ..I give kudos to guys who take my teams as far as they can go..It's the best period of Knick basketball that I have experienced bar none..I won't hold unrealistic expectation over their heads...Ewing versus MJ, Pippen, Rodman, etc...I'm happy we were able to compete...

you are not even trying with that one. You are just spitting out things that are irrelevant and not being argued.

With ewing there was a lot to like but there are reasons that many fans did/do not love him. That is not necessarily his fault especially in regards to personality.

You are either loved or you are not. You can't tell other people / fans how to feel.

Again, I did not like that he was a ball hog. Does that mean that he was not good or that it was not a good time to be a knick fan?

Well that's probably what Melo is talking about...If you don't win, you are hated for one reason or the other...And most times it has nothing to do with the game...Ewing was a ball hog??..Amazing..U didn't like his knee pads too??..

LOL ... there you go again.

Ewing is far from hated in NY, he is likes way more than is likeability calls for.

Don Mattingly (AGAIN) was loved because of the pure way that he approached the game and the fact that for the most part (like jeter) he shut the fuk up.

Melo can't stop sticking his silver foot in his mouth and Ewing whenever he spoke was better off not being heard.

And yes ... of course Ewing was a ball hog but then again, you have your own standards in regards to passing. Who was he suppose to pass to? Trent Tucker?

NY hates dumb more than anything.

I loved Mattingly..But baseball is different..Fans don't think one guy should win the world series...Basketball fans think one guy can win a Championship...They don't hold the same expectations...Baseball players don't garner the same hate/expectations as basketball players...

NY think they are smarter than the ball players...

we are smarter than ball players. At least I am ...

Melo does not have to win it all to be loved. He just needs to over achieve not under achieve.

Reggie Miller and Charles Barkley would have been huge in NY. NY would have hated Karl Malone.

Nonsense, I don't buy that overachieving argument...Woodson overachieved..Eli overachieved and won rings...Charles Barkley and Miller wasn't better than Ewing...Ewing was a franchise player, they weren't..They would have gotten killed too..

Charles Barkley was far better than Ewing. He was not a franchise player? You have to be freaking kidding me! MILES BETTER!

I definitely give you credit for being your own man ... wow WOW WOW

Don't mind Holfresh, he's not keen on NBA history.

Barkley = 1 MVP
Miller = All time leader in 3s(until broken by Ray Allen)
Ewing = no MVP's no leader in career anything, though I still gots love for #33
