How many players have proved ;too sensitive to play in NY? Pretty much everyone. Maybe is time to consider whether being so obnoxious to players is worth it?

I never boo players, but I'm sure fans have written him off for good now. When has the best player on a team told it's fans to stfu?

Melo took a lot of abuse and never went there.

Na. You don't never boo players.

You just root for them to suck and lose and TANK so you can have fun on draft night rooting for your little ping pong balls.

And fans have written him off for good? Who says, you? Because did you not watch the game last night or something?

Because real NY fans and true MSG faithful started to scream MVP MVP MVP by the thousands in attendance. And that was after he gave the thumbs down to the disgusting boo birds.

MSG faithful stuck up for Julius Randle last night with MVP chants.

So what are you talking about?

Did you not here his MVP chants in the 4th Q?

I'm a realist. This team isn't winning s* as currently constructed. you're right, not 1 fan will be offended by what he said. gtfo

I bet you were also saying the Knicks wouldn't make the playoffs as a 4 seed after being two games below .500 @ 25-27 after 52 games last year, too.

And after finishing 21-45 under Fizdale the year before you were probably the same fan telling everyone how it'll be impossible for NY to finish 41-31 and make the playoffs during only year #1 under coach Thibs while @ 25-27 and two games below .500 after 52 games; weren't you?

Don't look now but NY is on a two game winning streak, 5-2 during previous 7 games (.714%) and only 2.5 games away from the 6th seed and also only 2.5 games back of featuring the NBAs 10th best record.

"Not winning ****".

Whatever reason Julius gave to tell people to stfu is wrong.

I hope he can see this say he is frustrated by slow start apologize and its dropped Im sure. Knicks fans simply crave a winner and couldve barked at another big time home deficit; which also understandable. Sometimes boos happen in sports it;s part of the terrritory

Do you feel that both of Derek Jeter and Patrick Ewing deserved to get booed by Yankee Stadium and MSG?

You might feel it's wrong for Julius Randle to have told them to STFU etc

but I feel NY fans were wrong to boo Julius Randle with his son in attendance (as they were wrong to boo both Jeter and Ewing).

I'm done with this boo bird talk I just hope MSG faithful gives Julius Randle the biggest roaring standing ovation ever come Monday vs. San Antonio. He deserves it.

He's only 27 years old.
Thibs is running him into the ground.
And using him as his race horse..

☆ 1st on the team in minutes played.
☆ 1st on the team in points scored.
☆ 1st on the team in rebounds.
☆ 1st on the team in assists.
☆ 1st on the team in Defensive Win Share.
▪︎ 0-2 without him.

Nah man. He didn't deserve to get booed.

Come on bro
Last time I had sex with my wife I got booed. I didn’t tell her to stfu😸

Yes, but did you cry?

I dig it. But I was also fine with his actions yesterday.

I hope he has a monster game tomorrow. And that many more are on tap.

And if Noel comes back healthier than he’s been, and EF has figured something out, anything can happen.

Lol, this was so predictable. I doubt he even wrote it. Im sure his agents at CAA, Mountain Dew, Nike etc;. were just thrilled with his attitude. Shit gets real when your sponsors tell you to STFU. Isnt Randle from Texas? He doesn;t have to love NY or the fans, who even gives a ****. The fans, we just want effort and good basketball. Be a leader not a dumbass.

Lol, your post (above) was so predictable.

You're just a Julius Randle critic.

You couldn't even accept his sincere apology without criticizing him with criticism such as "I doubt he even wrote it".

But ever since he's returned?

N.Y. has gone 2-0.

And Julius Randle himself has combined for 52 Points, 24 Rebounds, 6 Assists, 3 steals, 20/40 from the field along with only 3 Turnovers and a +/- of +26.

That's an average of 26 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.5 steals, FG% of .500%, only 1.5 turnovers per game and an average +/- of +13 per game.

By far the best player on our team and the heart and soul of NYK basketball.

His press conference was ridiculous, you just got $130MM, commercials, you’re in the top spot, you’re the leader. And when you’re the man, you get everything that comes with it.

Thumbs down and shut the **** up? You’re 9-11 at home and you’re getting blown out by 25pts. Everyone works their asses off to afford these tickets to support the team. If effort isn’t there you have every right to boo. You don’t have the right to disparage players, talk about there families etc. that can’t be tolerated.

As of right now you won exactly 1 ****ing playoff game and got blown out of the playoffs. You wilted when it mattered most. The fans got up and gave the team a standing O for the effort.

He’s a young guy working hard. But, it was hard to watch the way he was acting. Everyone gets a pass, but waging a war with the fans is downright stupid and worrisome as a leader.

I have been going to games for a lifetime. Fans say some disgusting things. Not talking nosebleed seats. They seem more vulgar and hateful in the first few rows. Almost like it's the guys making lots of money, slaving every day, that seem to hate watching guys making so much money doing what they love. I've heard guys say things that in everyday life would get your ass kicked. I have no problem with Randle shouting back. Maybe it's the primadonna fans that think they can say or do anything because they paid some money for a seat, that are the sensitive ones. Or maybe it's the media guys that are jealous and think players have to be robots. I personally would love to see a fan get slapped around after saying some of the nasty things they think they say. Should be part of sports just like have two a holes go in hockey.

There are many angles to this. This is a good take also. Fans are very brave yelling all kinds of stuff at players. YOu pay money for the seats and you want them to perform. Circus animal kind of stuff? They owe you? It get’s weird. Baseball is similar. The taunts in the outfield to players both home and away is crazy.
Little men taking pot shots at accomplished athletes making big money. Empowers them.
Jules is human and he had a very human resonse. I like the Statement he put out and it should be value because we did love him last year and he loved us back.
That he lead the team to the 4th seed was great. That we then say its a team game and do the blame thing vs. ATL in playoffs and justify booing him and spewing hate that he let us down is a bit shallow. He tried. I di d not question his effort. This year he is whining a bit more, and loafing at times. He earned the cred to come back from this. We should let him.
