2496759, Nah, that was Ba's enraged diversion to 'Melo's scoring title Posted by Orbit_Established, Mon Nov-23-15 12:51 AM
He spent a whole year tearing Carmelo down because he didn't have any patches. Same way he tore John Wall down for no patches. He hasn't mentioned them again now that Wall has been to several ASG and won a slam dunk title, same way Kyrie has been to several and has a 3point title.
He picks things up and drops them when they no longer serve him, and banks of people being dumb enough to forget or get confused, which is true for most people, but not the Orbster.
Carmelo won a scoring title in the midst of the greatest era of wing scorers the league has ever seen (Kobe was still good, Durant, Lebron, Wade), and it legit sent him into rage.
Basa was enraged, pointed out the obvious: the Knicks matched up horribly with the Pacers in the playoffs. J.R. Smith was actually the 2nd best Knick on that team. That team being a #2 seed was remarkable.
It was all pretty obvious. Problem is that you guys aren't smart enough to see these things, which I can't blame you for.
So all of that PG stuff was just a diversion. Basa doesn't care about PG. PG was drafted by Larry Bird, for god's sakes, another thing you guys aren't smart enough to point out. So Paul George is actually fodder for the anti-Isiah agenda, which I don't care about, and was never petty enough to bring into this. But if I CHOSE TO, I could destroy him with that.
Basa knows this. He's just smarter than most of y'all. Shit don't fly with me.
>But I remember him describing Jabari's skill set and using a >diff player comp that did not include Melo, and cats trying to >wedge Melo in to the point where they were comparing a 28 yr >old NBA player to an 18 yr old.
Nah, Basa was feeling insecure with all the Jabari-Carmelo comparisons, so instead of admitting it like COACH K DID, he kept pointing out Paul Pierce. And then JABARI HIMSELF compared HIMSELF to Carmelo, and Basa went silent, left this agenda alone, and moved to a "Jabari > Giannis" agenda, which he's also going to lose.
