Are you trying to psycho analyze me based on what barber shop I go to?
This site, man. Jesus. I used to go to Mosaic up on Amsterdam off 125. Now I have longer hair, and I can get it cut at work. My mom gets her nails did up at 147th or out on long island by Linda, dad likes the shoe shine at penn station, even to this day, whenever he's in the city, he has to go to penn. My grandfather used to cut his own hair, he didn't trust anybody but my gramma to do the back. There's a physio spot in midtown that I go to for rehab/and massages. And I hit up kwik meal for lunch once a week.
But here's the thing, I don't use any of those places to validate me, and I certainly didn't learn about basketball or sports from the barber shop. 90% of the guys there barely watch games themselves. I learned the sport by playing it, then covering it, and working in it. That life experience.
And when I go into a barber shop, and somebody tells me Iverson is the greatest guard of all time... I just smile, and let him clean up my sideburns.

Nah, but I get that it's hard to root for a bad team with bad management. I do it, too.
So how about you take your cues from how you handle your barber at a spot like mosaic and stop calling people children, smile and dap the posts that you do like breh.Are you trying to psycho analyze me based on what barber shop I go to?

Nice doing business with you. See, that's a good middle ground.
I touched a nerve because every time you respond you're filled with emotion. Like the sissified, neck rolling statement above I bolded. I gives a fukk who you know on or offline. I just know whoever you are, you're life offline must be lame as hell because you come here everyday to argue with "kids" and "children" about how they are too dumb to know how to run a pro basketball team. You think it makes you look smart and above it all but it really make you look like your over-compensating for something you feel you lack. My post summed you up perfectly and you hate it. I guess not everyone here is a "little child" (what grown straight man uses this as an insult anyway??) that just started watching the Knicks in 2011. I wish whatever team you claim to have worked for or whatever publication you claimed to have written for was as in love with your writing as you are. Maybe we'd be spared your daily rants about kids, children, and new Knick fans.
Oh yeah.....
I respect my barber. He has a proven skillset, and he works hard. And he knows what he's talking about when it comes to his proffered specialty... hair.
Your proffered specialty is sports... and you don't seem to know a thing about it.
Breh, I'm not the sports writer. I'm an educated Black man from Brooklyn NY who has been playing & watching Basketball my whole life, who's cried for the Knicks when I was 10 yrs old & who loves speaking to other layman such as myself on the things I love.
You are the sports writer, this is your proffered specialty. And you're looking real hungry for someone, anyone, to validate your opinions. I'm hoping this type of cry for attention from people on a forum isn't an outcry because of you not being where you want in the sports world in real life.
Breh, you're coming off like a dude playing sims. Trying to create this fictional character named I.V who is a sports genius because if even in the real world I don't get my respect...I'm going to get it on the Coli!
I actually like your posts...when they actually add to the discussion, nobody is weird-ed out by that. But you trying to explain 1)How not emotional you are & 2) why you know more than us is kind of disturbing.
I will say, you've created quite the persona though. It makes me more interested in your actual, real world, sports commentary. It'd be cool if you share your Knicks related articles or material for us from time to time.
I mean, kids read too.

Somebody forgot to tell Cuban that because he gave up two picks for Tyson's $14M expiring contract.

He feels tanking is the best way to build the team, and that the Knicks should tank this season to end up with a high draft pick. He then went on to call people morons & children for not having high basketball knowledge like himself because he works in the sports industry. He's coming across as a self absorbed prick. He's in the same boat as Trip & War Report imo.
