He Who Must Not Be Named

I'm not going to go so far as to call this a "rule", but let's say I'm making a "request" for the extent of tomorrow. As you know, the Cleveland Cavaliers come to New York tomorrow. With them, they'll bring perhaps the world's best ballplayer and an absolute circle jerk of media excitement. If you ask me, all the hooplah is completely tasteless. I understand the 2010 plan and am fully invested in its potential rewards, but the fact that this summer's free agency has been a point of emphasis for almost a year now is really frustrating. For better or worse, the Knicks have to play this season's games as currently composed. Fawning over opposing players is, for the time being, quite lame. Strikes me as bad karma, too.

Now, I'm not the authority on all things Knicks, but I am the authority of this li'l Knicks blog. That said, I'm "requesting" that we all abstain from using the name of the man pictured above. Not his first name. Not his last name. Not his initials, nor his faux-regal nickname. I respect and admire the fellow, but object to the premature fellatio, know what I'm sayin?

So, just for tomorrow, let's not speak this man's name out of protest.

P.S. I should mention that this does not at all supplant the previous individual who must not be named. He's got that cross to bear for LIFE.

I hate Lord Voldemort

But he’s not the best player in the NBA. Kobe, for me, is. And I’d MUCH rather have Melo in here than Voldemort next year.

NittanyWhiteOut.com. Arguably the second best Penn State blog I know of.

i couldnt agree less

but it doesnt matter because melo will not be a part of the 2010 (free agent class) party thus hes a non-factor

But

if the guy in the picture above doesn’t sign this offseason, the worst thing Walsh could do is give the $ to Joe Johnson and Boozer or something like that. The plan then would have to be to wait until 2011 and try to sign Carmelo. And so on.

fair

but, just to be clear, this has nothing to do with hating him. i love him as a ballplayer. i just don’t like this inappropriate and premature attention he’s getting.

Really?

I think Melo’s a great player…but damn, he ain’t better.

And Melo is far from as much as a team guy too…

I think THIS guy would make the Knicks instantly better…where I’m not so sure about Melo by himself.

DO WHAT JERRY HAIRSTON DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i don't care what the fans do

but please, no standing ovations.

that shit is embarrassing.

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

nothing causes more pain

than hearing “fans” cheer on a certain opposition player more than their own team. it embarasses the entire state of New York

by Nolan B on Nov 5, 2009 11:02 PM EST up reply actions  

hear hear

Maybe when he leaves the game in the 4th quarter, if he’s played a perfect game and dominated, you give him a polite cheer. But not a standing ovation, ever. Knick fans should root and cheer for the Knicks to win the game, period.

That said, it’s hard to imagine the Knicks even losing by less than 30 tonight….. Damn, we need Gallo to go OFF.. it’s our only hope.

DO WHAT JERRY HAIRSTON DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about an anagram for him?

JEER SLOB MAN

Maybe not.
