“I actually was cool with him,’’ Kanter said of James. “Outside of basketball, I’ve got no problems. But I’ve been telling all my teammates, whenever we step on that court, there is no friends, don’t shake nobody’s hand because they’re not going to feel bad for us. Every night it’s a war. Don’t be friendly, Don’t shake nobody’s hand, don’t smile at nobody because those guys are your enemy. Those guys are not your friends. So I just keep talking to my teammates. We’ve got to bring that dirtiness in us.’’

I had my absolute doubts about this guy coming in with his suspect defense, but I don't think im going out on a limb by saying 99% of knick fans did not think they was getting this much heart and soul.

He is turning into the leader we have been missing since KIDD. I should have known this coming from a guy who went against his countries beliefs, and made a grand stand about it.

I don't think trading him is an option

I'm sure some will call me a snowflake or whatever you want, but sorry...not cool with calling a boy a girl as an insult. Nope.

I'm sure some feel the same way.

Peace.

Calling him a princess is sexist? Wth is going on here

I was thinking too about the Oak comparison. Different skill sets but I agree with the the initial post. Thinking about how Oakley really gave that great Knick group its identity when he was traded here. And when is the last time we have had guys step up like that? Rasheed and those cats maybe, but certainly not Carmelo. Can you imagine him sticking up to his freaking pal? I'm so sick of Lebron and other stars coming in and having their way and the crowd cheering them. Last night, though a tough loss, feels like a step in the right direction.

And he is someone taking a hard political stand in his home country. And he's averaging like 14 points and 11 rebounds in 25 mins. Not the perfect player I understand. But I want him on my team.

I’m all about feminism but I took the jab more as an insult to royalty and the image of a bratty princess always having to have her way than an insult to women. Just my two cents.
