I mean he works hard. That’s all you can ask. It’s not his fault he is offensively inept.

yes. yes. yes. (and I did say this first, just not as eloquently).

Booing him at the Open Practice? Cmon son

we should take a look at this again.

So many of New York’s beloved sports heroes fit this criteria of being kind of a loser.
Michael Strahan with his gap tooth comes to mind.
Marian Gaborik is the polished smooth sharpshooter. Sean Avery is the pest. Who is more endearing to the NYC fans?

Booing him before a scrimmage is stupid. We should support him. We should want him to do well. He’s not a player who deserves everlasting scorn. It’s not like he cold clocked his girlfriend’s dad or said that his teammates aren’t up to his level or something.

That said, I think it’s perfectly fine to boo individual poor plays by Jeffries, just as it would be for any player. If you want to boo Jeffries when he blows a layup or gives the ball away, be my guest.

I could understand booing him when he made big money, because he’s not a big money player, but why boo him now when he’s just making the minimum? It’s not like he’s stealing money anymore.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the guy can defend five positions. There might not be another guy in the league who can do that. He never complains. Now that he’s making the minimum and hopefully won’t play in crunch time, we should give him a reset.

write a long response for why the 90s Knicks were certainly not lovable losers, but nobody wants to read that. Don’t boo players on your own team. Leave the self-loathing to New Jersey, or lack of basketball knowledge to Miami.

Also, this:

Alot of people booed because of game 2 in Boston, which is kind of stupid. If you look at who was on the floor with 4 seconds left in that game:

Mason, Walker, Douglas, Melo, Jeffries. hmmmmm

If thats the reason (and it was for some i’m sure), boo Melo for not getting a shot off in that situation and boo Amar’e for getting gassed so much in warmups that he hurt his back and was a non factor in games 2-4. Shit…boo Isaiah for even equating Jeffries with a Knick uniform in the first place. I’m not advocating booing anyone really, just sayin’.

To boo him for still being a Knick when we now have a true 5 making him look even worse is also not cool. We never booed Herb Williams when he had Ewing, you know why? Because Herb would never be in that situation. Now Jared will never be in that situation again, so i’m happy.

If the team is under achieving fair play but the season hasn’t even started yet, but that said this is New York.

I have nothing against Jared Jeffries the person. Honestly. But to feel bad for him getting booed MSG, where is has performed some of the most horrific competitive basketball that the earth has ever seen?

I hope he does well believe me. But when Jared Jeffries goes home after a game, he goes home to a really big house, where he has multiple TVs and nice cars, and a hot lady…I mean do you really feel bad?

Every two weeks when Jared Jeffries looks at his paycheck, does it look like yours? And when he gets up in the morning and thinks about going to work, does he have the same feeling you have? i’m sure I’d like the guy as a person, but do you really feel bad for Knicks fans booing him?

if he ever puts a string of good games together, Knicks fans will realize it. And cheer him loudly. But it takes more than Mike Breen trying to convince us, he actually needs to play good basketball to get cheered, like everyone else.

With Starks, it wasn’t like that. Except for Game 6, but yeah.

is actually a very nice weapon off the bench if used correctly. He can guard all 5 positions and gets after it a bit on the offensive glass but anything more than 5 to 6 minute spurts and he really handcuffs your offense. I think most peoples beef with him is the playoff game last year.
