I'm not a failure in life at all and I'm enjoying it a lot.
For one, the whole situation is hilarious. If you don't see the hilarity in it, I feel bad for you.
Two, there is something in human nature, even for successful people, that wants us to see some kind of retribution against those who insult us.
Now, my understanding is you're a Jazz fan, or used to be, right? What's funny then is that Kanter basically talked crap on you and you're sitting here defending the guy (Unless you're not a Jazz fan, which in that case I would like to know what the hell you're doing on this board).
