Baller Shots @ Shaky Ankles: How Carmelo and the Knicks Stopped Making Sense

Hey guys, just wrote a quick piece on this Knicks streak and Melo’s insane play. Here’s an excerpt:

This isn’t referring to players who can have really, really good games on occasion, like Kobe Bryant when his shots actually go in, or Rudy Gay when the Raptors face the Bobcats. It refers to players who every night have the aura of greatness, as if angels should blow horns, heralding their arrival to decimate your pathetic team. LeBron James is the obvious prime example of this, effortlessly putting up 26 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists every night. While many choose to focus on Kevin Durant’s scoring, he has an exceptionally well-rounded game as well, notching 28 points a night, eight rebounds, and four-and-a-half assists.

Credit can be given to the maturity of these two guys, as well as their ability to lead their teams and command respect. Throw in their unique physical figures (LeBron’s super ripped, tight end body, Kevin’s bizarre lanky-yet-muscular stature) and they’re two unbeatable players. They are Gods amongst men.

After the week Carmelo Anthony has had, if he isn’t a God, he’s damn sure got a great-looking robe and a long white beard.

Check it out!

Is it bad that when Kevin Durant scores a career-high 52 points…

…all I can think of is #52 Greg Oden?

While everyone was distracted by Kyrie Irving putting on a mask, Isaiah Thomas scored 23 points in the fourth quarter, and forced a pissed-off Kevin Durant to stop playing his 3DS and finish the job.

I love a point guard who don’t quit, and Isaiah Thomas don’t quit.

This was their “A League of Their Own” moment, right? Like when Kit and Dottie hug after the championship game. Remember that?

I’m just saying it was a great movie with a lot of emotion, and I don’t think I’m crazy for referencing it.

Is it bad how much I love this outfit? Brown Chucks with a tan suit and an orange tie? EARTH TONES PEOPLE. Of course I’d look like a giant glazed donut hole if I wore it, but still. A MAN CAN DREAM HE’S KEVIN DURANT AND SUAVE AS HE WANNA BE

GAH! I keep forgetting he has those tattoos. Props to KD for deliberately getting coverable tattoos so old white sportswriters wouldn’t judge him based on his ink. Shit, if he came into the draft with tats like that all over his arms, they’d probably make up some bullshit about how he has “character issues”. That’s what they do. People are STILL biased against the inked citizens of this nation. Just ask my boy John Embry. (pic via 24seconds)

KD: And another thing: you’re quite rude! AI: Alright, settle down Kev. KD: You haven’t quite lived up to your potential, even though I’m sure you’ll get there someday! AI: Oh man, you’re really letting him have it. KD: You don’t get enough playing time because your team has too much depth! AI: Wow, sick burn. KD: I’d deliberately stiff you on a tip if you were a waiter, which fortunately you’ll probably never have to be since younger players are generally smarter with their money! AI: Alright that’s enough. KD: Your mother is somewhat overweight, and therefore- AI: I SAID STOP! (pic via 24seconds)

Westbrook’s frustration appeared to have started with just 3 1/2 minutes remaining in the second quarter when he drove into the paint and kicked the ball out to Thabo Sefolosha in the corner. Sefolosha passed up a wide open 3-pointer, which prompted Westbrook to yell at Sefolosha “shoot the (expletive) ball.” Sefolosha and other teammates, including Durant and center Kendrick Perkins attempted to calm Westbrook down immediately during an ensuing trip to the free throw line. But the emotions spilled over to the bench one minute later. Durant appeared to again settle Westbrook, but Westbrook appeared to take exception to how Durant delivered his message. The two began shouting at each other and had to be separated.

I’m weirdly excited for this divorce. SO. JUICY.
