"They're Not Talked About Very Much"

[MeloTheJazzKiller]

I’d love to hear your explanation of how you’re going to sign Zion in two years ?

Same way we signed Melo and Wayne Gretzky and Dikembe Mutombo and Willie Mays and Reggie Jackson and Mark Messier and Kevin Durant and Babe Ruth and Pele.... All the great ones end up here. You guys grow 'em, we take 'em.

We've signed John Starks, Tom Chambers, Danny Manning, Joe Johnson, Corey Maggette, Jason Terry, Chris Morris, Tony Danza, Christopher Lloyd, Robert Redford, and Wilford Brimley.

Point is, my team is relevant. We are talked about. Your team is like some low level D-League team. Worse, it's like some low level Turkish team. Play good ball but who the hell cares? We play **** ball and we still are the talk of the league. Just wait till that psycho Morris twin leads us into a brawl on the court. Front page news around the world. Jazz? Man, they can play a game on Saturn against Jesus and the 12 apostles and no one would be interested.

4-13

lolol

So is Jeffrey Epstein but not like any of us would want to be that kind of relevant.

1. Well, is there anything wrong with loyalty?

To an organization like the Knicks? This is like asking if there is anything wrong with being loyal to Robert Hanssen. The Knicks have betrayed themselves and fans like you for decades now.

If you guys had it...

Had what? loyalty to a ****** organization?

you might have been able to keep Gordon Hayward on your team.

We got Bogey at half the $$$. Why would anyone want Hayward over Bogdonovic?

Probably have won a championship by now.

In the Warriors era? You're so dumb it hurts my tender little heart.

2. You really think we love the Knicks because of New York?

I do. And as I said before, it is astonishingly sad and pathetic.

Uhh, the Jets

Proves nothing. Perhaps you could correct me instead by elaborating on why it is you are loyal to the Knicks, and why it has nothing to do with them being in NYC.

It's not a sense of entitlement. (Man, are you off the mark.) It is a sense of fairness. A sense of what is right. The Jazz should be talked about.

Why? Papers print what sells, and small markets don't sell.

We have a newspaper guy here in NY who blasts the media because they fawn over the three point shooting offense only teams (like the Rockets). The team game of basketball is dying and yet the media still talks only about offensive juggernauts. The team play - what I see the Jazz excel at - is ignored. That's not right.

I don't expect the world to be fair or right.

Poor MTJK, he has to come to a small market team's forum for entertainment, because his big market Knicks surely aren't entertainment.

There there, bud.

No, it's because they banned me.

You see what happens in The Garden to fans that yell at Dolan, "Sell the team." Well, it's worse on the Knicks Forum. You get banned there just for giving the score of a game they lost!

I am not going to get snarky or nasty or go for some humor here. I find it very sad that one would have to explain loyalty to a sports team.

The Knicks? That's my team. That's my family's team. That's my friends' team. That's my city's team. When I was little I dribbled the ball and shot at the basket and wore my Clydes and we all wanted to be Knicks, play at The Garden.There was nothing else. No other teams mattered. No other teams really existed. Knicks win or lose...didn't matter. Better if they won, but those were my players, my heroes.

Now because they are going through a real bad spell...I am supposed to forget all those feelings for my team? Am I supposed to now follow the Nets? The Bucks? The Rockets? One day we will do better and actually finish in the eighth spot. But even if we don't I will watch my team and root for them.

Last night's Jazz v Bucks game was on NBA TV so I got a chance to watch. The game was the Bucks feed and at one point the Bucks announcer was talking about how the Jazz are a top team and then he said," They're not talked about very much."

Two questions:

#1. What exactly do you personally feel about, "They're not talked about very much."
#2. Why exactly are the Jazz "not talked about very much"?

The answer is obviously because we don't have Carmelo Anthony on the team
