knicks looked so tired today

@jadande: Carmelo missed 18 shots today. LeBron missed 22 shots in the entire first round.

adande clearly trying to cover his tracks for his MELO MVP #1 BEST EVA vote

i don't think ny writers have a territoriality over their players like a writer in a smaller market would

lol jordan, no

i mean plenty of them are great but every city has legendary homers

extreme homerism being the only possible explanation for the insanity of a melo first place mvp vote, besides, like, a stroke at the moment the ballot was filled out

pacers looked real good but i have a parallel version of k3v's problem with carl landry with tyler hansbro

yeah i think since we (i) follow some of the funnier and level-headed prominent knicks fans on twitter we get a biased sense of their writers' homerism, but it's definitely huge

hahahaha le batard is claiming to be the melo voter

pretty much every single sportswriter is a professional troll, so it really could be anyone.

hahah that's such a lebatard move

on finding out it was lebatard my enmity has 100% vanished

he loves trolling miami sports fans more than anyone loves anything

(though it seems to be coming out now that le batard doesn't even have an mvp vote and he is just trolling gigantically right now!?)

lol yeah he was just trolling

trolling THAT he was trolling!

lol

he's the best

le batard is the greatest because he's kind of a court jester of sorts but he still drops hammers with his writing

lol at rolling out every lousy vote cliche in the book to defend his lousy vote.

sports writers are the worst

christ

Hibbert attended Georgetown Prep in North Bethesda, Maryland. The team was coached by Dwayne Bryant, who had attended Georgetown University as a varsity basketball player. Bryant introduced the still-awkward Hibbert to the GU campus.[3] Hibbert helped make Georgetown Prep's Little Hoyas co-champions of the Interstate Athletic Conference in 2004.[4] Since Roy is an avid Pokémon fan, his teammates would often say, "Power up, big fella," to help him play harder.[5]

hahahaha everything makes so much sense now

gary washburn is a dumbass

what is roy hibberts evolved form

he only evolves when he's traded

excellent

pokemon was awesome though this makes me like hibbert a lot more

wonder if he rocked pokemon red or pokemon blue

well your mom picked that for u, the real question was who did you choose from professor oak

i should tweet him to ask him

ha k definitely got to choose my color. feel like hibbert is a bulbasaur type. not flashy, kind of a tank

my mom bought me blue and my brother red

idk squirtle had the most defense iirc, i always chose squirtle

lmbo @ you fukkin nerds. btw Hibs shook by NYC:

another gem
Roy Hibbert ‏@Hoya2aPacer 23 Apr
If y'all liked "Oblivion" y'all should heck out the 2009 movie called "Moon". Almost the same but an indie film that was dope. Watch it

i like this guy now

i liked him ever since his parks and rec appearances

Think he reached max goofiness level when, as a freshman, the G'town staff had to teach Hibs how to run.

yeah i think since we (i) follow some of the funnier and level-headed prominent knicks fans on twitter we get a biased sense of their writers' homerism, but it's definitely huge

Think NYC media is just kinda suffocating. Local coverage is so unforgiving w/r/t anything negative that I don't think they're more homerish than anyone else. Like, NYPost headline zings wouldn't really fly in other markets.

yeah that's kinda what i'm talking about. it's a bit more adversarial in nyc.

the post is legendary for this
