I'm really questioning the timing this seems bizarre

And borderline picking at the scab reopening a flesh wound

This seems like a subliminal "Shots Fired at Phil"

As in alright we really are bad waaaaahhhhnnnn waaaaahhhhnnn

You said there is a vision where is your fix

Get me some help

I'm also putting this together

With his recent comments on ESPN New York page

By the way I love Melo. He is my favorite player. And im including all my favorite New York teams

Late in the 13-day process, Frazier tells Swann: “He goes to bed one night saying he wants to go to Chicago. He wakes up the next day and says New York. Then he’s stuck again. That’s how he feels. And he’s so loyal to New York he wants to stay and become a champion there. Which would blow everything away.’’

I liked this quote. Also, remember it is a Berman article.

Really the article source is irrelevant

When the majority of the quotes are from the actual documentary

Citing Berman is a round about way of denying the filmography

Melo Enterprises have all power when to release the Doc

Why are they choosing Dec 2nd and why would anyone

Want to see the process, especially when part of the process

Glorifies his riches and lifestyle lived

It's downright tacky and so disrespectful

It matters who wrote it. The article is titled a behind the scenes look at Carmelo's plot to join the bulls. Do you think Berman was the only guy that covers the Knicks that had access to this?

Who cares how Berman titled the article Crush

You're caught up in the trivial parts of weightier subject matter

There are direct quotes in his article taken directly from the documentary

Why aren't you questioning the timing release of the documentary

What is there to gain by showing footage of the lavish off-season

Lifestyle decision making process in which an athlete goes through during playing season

Now if this was footage consisting primarily of his workout ethic

What he did to rededicate himself to the game sure no problem

But who cares about Cashmere sweaters and back and forth dialogue

With his scumbag agent, something tells me you didn't click on the second link

This is as tacky as it gets, even is choosing us in the end

Melo can't unsay the things he says

TeamBall wrote:Stupid documentary and really exposes the whole "my heart never wavered" thing with Melo. Definitely won't be watching this. That being said, we all knew the man wanted his money and this thread has "agenda" written all over it.

Why do you say on the hand it exposes Melo's values, yet on the other hand you discount the thread as agenda driven?

This notion that threads that discuss a player's values as much as their BB strengths and weaknesses are agenda-driven and other threads are not agenda-driven doesn't compute.

Since when is having a bias prior to starting a thread a disqualification of the thread's value?

Just asking since your post was of two minds, so I found it odd.

Not referring to you, but I think anytime somebody bleats "Agenda" it is just as lame a debating mechanism as saying "Hater" or other labels meant to squash dissent against prevailing opinions. Now that the consensus has shifted due to the continued implosion of the club, that may change somewhat, but I don't understand why people think they come off as anything other then thick-headed when they say such things.

We all have predispositions when we start or post in a thread and should take that for granted without needing to reach for weak labels.

Per this thread, if Melo comes off looking one way or another due to the documentary, then discussing that is relevant, not comments on why a thread was started. If the thread had zero value, you could say so, but considering this is current events it is commenting on it has every right to exist as any other thread on the board.

(Again, just general thoughts, not being overly personal here).

I don't care about the money anymore

I am questioning the timing release of the documentary

And the general footage capture in general

Last time I checked there have been many high profile free agents

Throughout the yrs but when did it become popular

To package the process as part of the brand

Especially amidst a historic losing season out the gate

I think you forgot Melo wants to be the first "Digital Athlete" (guffaw)

Well I mentioned branding but not sure

How this catapults him digitally

Showing video footage of yourself on G4-G5 is not what makes one digital

In particular not when you spend the footage showing

Argyle socks of people who pander to you

And their cooky concerns about media perception
