I'm not going to defend Melo, but if KG did say something about Melo's wife, that's beyond the pale and unacceptable.
In a Mother's Day game in 1999, KG said something to Tim Duncan about his mother
The story goes that on May 9, 1999 (Mother’s Day), Tim Duncan’s Spurs played Kevin Garnett’s Timberwolves in the first round of the NBA playoffs. During that game, Garnett, who is known for his incessant need to trash talk and intense dislike for any sort of decency did what he does best. He went too far. Just as Tim Duncan was going to take two free throws, Garnett barked at him: “Happy Mother’s Day, mother****er!” Tim Duncan’s mother famously died of breast cancer the day before his 14th birthday
Wives, mothers, family and kids are not acceptable taunting topics, for someone on the team I love, or anyone else in the league. That kind of thing should lead to ejection from the game, at least. I have no problem with a player getting into an opponent's head, but there's a limit to what is acceptable, unless we want to see actual fist fighting in games, like in hockey.
NOPE ...not at all..
This sort of whining by CHUMPMELO ..BOO HOO ...people called me names , talked about my mooma is so childish.Its funny and part of the game . During a basketball game is Carmelos mind so weak.. why is he even listening or giving a flip about what the other team says? Thats laughable. REALLY ...
?
So Whats next ...You want to have a "HALL MONITIOR" and have the GOVERMENT involved FBI or CIA
Do you want mics and camera in their bedrooms too?
You want KG to write a 1000 times " I LOVE MY ENEMY" on the black board.
KG runs his mouth , I love it and think its great !!! More the better ( just not to the refs)...hee hee....yeah , If I was playing I'd be talking smack too as I walked by the other coach....I wouldn't give anybody a break...they are the enemy... ? most fans love it anyway.
I'm sure Bird and his foes talked sweet to each other
