Does he really have a "public persona?" He seems to fly under the radar. Very few interviews, no tabloids, etc. Sure, there was the 2009 Letterman interview, but that was a put-on.

Undoubtedly. Carmelo Anthony makes my blood boil and I can't apologize for it.

Agreed. My original comment wasn't meant to critique his game last night. It was a joke predicated on his reputation (which I'm sure you're aware of?) as a great scorer who doesn't offer much more. I thought the reference to Bill Walton and Tim Lincecum playing hacky sack would make the joke vs. analysis…

There was no argument, only a joke about his line last night which was such a perfect microcosm of his career.

"How have his teams not been successful?"

Sick burn, bro.

You got me. Carmelo Anthony is a well-rounded player, a great leader, and a teammate that makes everybody around him better. Which is why his teams are always so darn successful.*

You're right. Nobody will remember who the Knicks played or how many assists 'Melo had because this was the 33rd highest scoring game (9-way tie) of all time, and will be soon be entirely forgotten.

62 points

I'm not so sure. The only people who care that he's being a remorseless shit are people who will never buy his records, no matter how much contrition he shows.

Jacked off with toothpaste. (You asked!)

Sure, but isn't it kind of disingenuous to look at groups on 9gag or Reddit, which are subcultures of subcultures and the most extreme ends of a spectrum, and then pretend that their attitude is somehow representative of a larger problem?

This is all great advice. Are you a cop?

P.S. Anybody else seeing a different font on Deadspin today? Not sure if it's the site or my computer, but it looks like when your printer has juuuuust begun to run low on ink.

If you buy in bulk, it comes with Chris Bosh.

Was that so weird?

Don't the Jezebel regulars ever get tired of being condescended to by this site's authors?
