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 ?

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

What's the bad example ?

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.

That gesture was around long before Melo. If he naively coopted it, it was a bad idea.

Let it go. You are taking the gesture to represent a gun to the head as if what a suicide gesture ? That's your interpretation. I don't think anyone else saw it like that. Don't think any kids saw it like that.

Not suicide, killing someone. No wonder you dont get it.

Killing someone or yourself is not the gesture. You can keep going at it but your interpretation is not shared by many. That's why I asked did kids get influenced by that gesture thinking about guns ? No because it's three fingers after a three point shot. And you hold your theoretically harmful gesture and hold against Melo for years. Give it up. Kids are smarter then adults sometimes

You're making it sound like I made this up. There have been articles, I believe an ESPN story about it. You can disagree, but the number one cause of children's death now is guns. Not hard to find another celebration.

Maybe you didn't make it up. But it was foolish then and foolish now. Why you keep going at it ? Talk about the game

Someone told me that there was even a chance that it would be interpreted that way, Id stop immediately, but thats just me.

You turned this into a debate...

Gave him time to slow the game down. Knicks have to stop trying to nurse the clock at end of quarters. Never works. They need to make quick moves and attack as a team. Stop the iso plays.

It's funny how many people said JB was overpaid even though his valuation was about the same as FVV when he entered the market.🙄

We call those people idiots around here.

I'm new here and infrequent so I guess that comment is aimed at folks. Tell me who ? I feel like I stepped into a long running conversation

Dallas Mavericks of course.

Knicks should learn from Cuban and extend Deuce now and learn from the Dallas error, lol. Deuce was loose as well

The star of the Spanish team Hernangomez didn't play and the star of the French Team Fournier only played a little. Man the NBA is a whole different level of good over the European leagues.
