He took that from Rasheed Wallace when he was briefly with the team, but it got annoying since he did it every single time for years afterwards.

Melo does a lot for kids, with his philanthropy. But that wasnt a good example for the young fans.

Any evidence that any kids were harmed by the gesture ?

Having Robinson engaged makes a huge difference.

Harm shouldnt be the threshold. It being a bad example is good enough of a reason not to do it.

Not seeing the big deal with Barnes. Why is he untouchable? Gets lost defensively and doesn’t seem to provide any scoring. His value is sort of just being a big facilitator/ table setter. Sochan from San Antonio is a similar profile. Don’t get me wrong I think both are solid prospects but Barnes is billed a franchise player.

Crazy how he only has a two inch vertical yet still always ends up on the floor.

Gun violence

I come on. The gesture is not a gun to the head. It's a three representing a three point shot in basketball. I think kids are smarter then adults sometimes. Especially when adults insist on thinking their making a deeper observation.

Barnes gets hyped because Masia is genius who turns crap into pudding just by looking at I think Barnes got the benefit of the doubt because of the way he exceeded expectations his rookie season. He was dubbed a project and came in guns blazing. But the jumpshot hasn't taken the leap many where expecting.
