Sprewell got a second chance with the Knicks after he choked PJ and took them to the Finals. He got offered an extension with the Wolves and TURNED IT DOWN (“I got kids to feed”). He played himself.
AI was given a bunch of chances and refused to come off the bench. Then the Sixers brought him back and let him start. He was never blackballed either.
Melo ain’t even “hood”, he’s just lazy and one-dimensional.
Tony Allen was way more hood than that flabby nikka and he was always a valued player. Zach Randolph was a fukkin goon and he wasn’t blackballed.
