You want to be on the field? Play in a way where they can't take you off the field.

Kanter wants to get off the bench? Play in a way where the Knicks have no choice but keep him on the floor. A lot of players, Wade is probably the biggest culprit, see themselves in their prime/peak and refuse to see anything else. You are only as good as your last time on the field/floor. It's nice to have history, but if it's not helping you today, then it doesn't matter.

Any of you want to bang a super fat chick who used to be thin and hot 7 years ago? She was pleasant 7 years ago. She took care of herself 7 years ago. She actually took the time to smile 7 years ago. No one gives a **** of what you used to be, people give a **** what you can give right now.

Kanters comments reek of entitlement. No one gives you jack **** in this life, you have to go out and take it. Kanter is like a fat chick who won't shower or hit the treadmill or put down the fork but wonders why Prince Charming isn't ready to fix her ****ty credit and marry her already.

well just for the record . . . how fat are we talking here?

Let's be honest Marv, the way you drink it won't really matter to you right? I mean there was that one time dj looked super hot to you...

yeah but that was BEFORE the raptors hat . . .

So this is ugly and disturbing.

But it isn't "politics" so I guess it's a-okay.

Yep I’m fed up of having to wade through this sort of crap when following sports. These forums aren’t usually too bad, others are horrific. There’s just no need for it, it adds nothing.

It really depends of the culture.
In some African countries the fatter the better...

Way to add racism to misogyny

What it has to do with racism?
Racism is in not recognizing diversity of different cultures around the world and consider you own stereotypes as deficiencies of other nations.
People in Africa and all over the world can have customs, traditions, and believes of whatever nature they wont regardless of what picky Americans think.

Honestly, Marv's and martin's comments were funny

Your so wrong, don't you get paid based on your experience. Do you go to a interview with out a resume and say forget about my pass, it's about what i can do for you now.

This Dude got bench for a 20 yr old rookie, with zero NBA experience, who was a 2nd round pick played no college ball...OUCH, if your not upset behind that sht, I don't even want you on my team

If you wanted to relate Mudiay to some kind of average working world example, then fine.

Imagine Mudiay as an elite engineering student at a prestigious engineering school/program. Top of his class. Bright. Everyone raves about him. Wins awards. Looks so bright.

Then he gets a top level job in the working world and for the next ten years is a mediocre engineer. Worse, it's clear he's not working as hard as everyone else to get better. His mistakes never change. He's showing no development, no adjustments.

But he went to X university! Yeah, in ten years, no one gives a ****. He might still get a few jobs and opportunities based off of people he knew in the past or had lingering memories of his better times or connections he made or friendships, but at the end of the day, he's only going to be useful as a warm body and no one is really going to rely on him and no one thinks he's suddenly going to fill that promise he showed as a student. And in this case, he finally got work with a firm (Knicks) that showed such horrible resource/fiscal responsibility, that they got him in part because he was cheap and couldn't get a better opportunity.

Mudiay is getting paid for his experience. His contract status has a scale to it, based on your league service time and draft slotting.

Yes Mudiay was a lottery pick. A long ass time ago. Like a promising engineering student a decade ago is a long ass time ago. It means nothing now. Every team in the league had a chance at him, for nearly free, and didn't want him. What does that say?

Mudiay does nothing well. He's outside of his prime first three year developmental window. If the Knicks had actually managed their cap responsibly, he wouldn't be on this team right now.

PS When I use "relationship" examples, my point is to illustrate the NBA, like anything in life, has a MARKETPLACE environment. What you want and what you get is based on what resources you have and the demand for them given the time and place. Market forces don't care how anyone feels, they operate to their own efficiency. If there is one thing I reinforce nearly every time I post here, it's examples/cross examples of basic pro sports resource management. No one has to agree with how I think or what I say, but how I approach many things is how a real life franchise will approach resource management.

Americans aren't picky.

That's just your perception and isn't real.

You say Africa - you are racist
You say Arabs - you are Zionist
You say Russia - you are Mobster
and with this Americans are not picky and pron to stereotyping.
Of course they are.

Just knock it off of my head.
Another useless fact of the past.
Piece and love!!!
