Hold up...so from what I'm reading and hearing the report that Ferry was reading from about Deng as a player which had the whole "He some African in him" stuff was from a Cleveland Cavalier scout?

I'm not a basketball fan, but I always laugh to myself when I see white cats really into basketball hardcore...

:rudy: So I can't unconditionally love the game of basketball unless I'm black and one of the best players in the sport worldwide? I have to be a world class 6'7" athlete to be into basketball hardcore? :camby:Ignorant comment.

Carmelo Anthony was a free agent this summer around the time when Atlanta Hawks GM Danny Ferry made his now infamous race-related comments about fellow free agent forward Luol Deng. Anthony offered a harsh assessment of Ferry's words and what they mean for the future of the Hawks, bluntly stating that free agents are unlikely to go to Atlanta following the scandal:

"[There] ain’t nobody [who] would want to go there," Anthony said at the Citi Carmelo Anthony Basketball ProCamp at Baruch College Saturday morning. "At the end of the day, Atlanta … I think it puts Atlanta back even further now, from that standpoint."

Everybody on that conference call should get canned. No one thought anything was wrong with the statement, which implies that they were all cool with the language in the report. This ain't a first time thing. fukk the Hawks and everyone that love them.

Sorry to go slightly OT. But as a C's fan, I hated his Ferry cat since he ratted out Rondo during the 1st Round 2012 POs between Hawks/Celtics. Now his ass got snitched on by someone in his org. Oh the irony and the karma!
:jawalrus:

:salute: to Tommy Heinsohn going in on his azz for snitchin on Rondo
