For those who didn't pay attention to Summer League, the Knicks played their first two games without Chasson Randle and got smoked. Knicks couldn't even break 50 those first two games. Randle came in and provided scoring, point guard ability, and a little bit of defense. Knicks were in every game he played in.
:philjacksonlol:I don't know who the fukk Randle or Baker are but I rather have them on my team than bum ass Vujacic.
Ron Baker played in every game but was awful in the first two games. However, in every game he displayed a great ability to defend and after game 2, he shot extremely well from 3. He's a 3 and D guy primarily, but he showed a couple of skills that may or may not translate against real NBA players.
Tokoto is a defenderwho finishes at the rim but Baker is better.
All in all, Ron Baker should have Sasha's spot and Chasson Randle should be our 15th spot. Sign Sasha and Tokoto to our D League squad

It's always been obvious that Melo is better during the Olympics, but I never really tried to analyze why. Great points and great video
Got me more excited for the season because in all honesty, I never really thought about what Rose/Jennings could do for Melo, instead I was more concerned about how they would help KP develop. Video also really shows you how amazing Melo's 29 and 27.5 ppg seasons were. Those teams where offensively trash outside of Melo and Smith, and with Smith being unreliable half of the time, Melo had to do a lot to carry those teams.

I can't fam...it's just madness. In a perfect world, Baker and Randle will both show enough for Phil to cut Sasha and not risk losing them. He did it with Outlaw a couple of years ago when Travis Wear outplayed dude. But yeah, the only reasons for Sasha are that he knows the triangle so he can help the youth and KP likes him.

Melo earned the respect of two civil rights icons.
Few athletes in American history are as famous for taking a stand against injustice as Tommie Smith and John Carlos. The two sprinters won gold and bronze, respectively, at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, and used their moment on the medal stand to make a statement about race relations in America. You may have seen their photo once or twice:
The two civil rights icons were interviewed by The Undefeated's Marc J. Spears about modern athlete activism, and Carlos singled out Knicksforward Carmelo Anthony:
Carlos said he is impressed by the socially conscious Anthony's "attitude of truth."
"He is direct, very direct. And there is truth in [being] direct because there is purpose," he said. "Carmelo Anthony, he has always been out there doing what he feels is necessary. But it wasn't as strong until he adapted an avenue that brought back what has already been done in the Smith and Carlos stand in Mexico City and our belief in education. I think he is going to continue with the programs that he has going with the athletes he has involved. The truth he tells like it should be told, so the other people can see themselves in what he is doing. It's a bit like the old times."
Smith went on to praise the recent work of Melo, LeBron James, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade, calling the movement "a lifelong relay." He and Carlos hope Melo and Team USA use their time at the Olympics to make a statement. IOC Rule 50 prohibits any political or religious statements during the Games -- in '68, Smith and Carlos were thrown out of the Olympic Village after their demonstration.
For his part, Melo seems more focused on getting his teammates to the medal stand:
"If I wanted to do something, I'd do it. I wouldn't let nothing hold me back. But I know I got a group of guys that got my back and need me there for them. The message I want to send is us standing on that medal stand united with them putting that gold medal around our neck despite everything that is going on in our country."
Even if he doesn't use the Olympics as a platform, Melo's activism has already earned the respect of two legends of the movement. That has to mean a great deal to him.
