Thug Life.

Marlon Wayans went in on Tupac about that on the Champs podcast.

Tupac was the Jesus Christ of mall set everywhere. Especially the ones who throw around terms like studio gangsters.

Exactly. Amazing how the tone of the post is anything other than ‘Melo is a jackass. This incident is Chris Mills-esque

Kendall Gill almost knocked out Steve Smith near the lockerroom after a game, Buck Williams and Lonnie Shelton used to get into it routinely on and off the court, Rick Fox and Doug Christie got into it in the tunnel, Willis Reid tried to take on half the LA Lakers bench. All of that was about someone being mad enough that they wanted to kick someone’s ass. Some of those guys, like Shelton, or Reid, Rick Mahorn, Jeff Ruland, Charles Oakley, Anthony Mason or others were enforcers or intimidators. So, all this bullshit consternation about Melo going in the back to meet KG isn’t about something that is new. Hell, Zach Randolph went looking for Kendrick Perkins just this season in the same manner. The difference between those guys and someone like a Garnett is they were willing to put those hands up and back up the talk and the mean mugging. KG on the other hand runs away or becomes a pacifist when confronted. It’s not about getting under someone’s skin because he will take on someone smaller, or someone who obviously isn’t looking to fight like when he mushed Tim Duncan back in the day. So, yeah the story IS about KG being confronted 3 times in an hour and running away each time by someone who called him every name in the book and let him know he wanted to kick his ass.

Studio gangsters are far more dangerous than real ones, because they often feel like they have to justify their status which means they’re more prone to do something stupid, reckless, and dangerous or better yet pay someone to do it for them. What is even more telling about the dudes on here is the notion that you have to be a gangster, studio or any kind to get to the point that you want to fight.

Thug Life.

Watch a bunch of short security guards in suits try to talk Melo out of it.

This is why tasers exist

Never change TBL

Avery Bradley for MVP.

He was playing some serious D on JR Smith. Got called for some garbage fouls. Celtics are semi-back with AB. As back as a team can be with their middling depth, at least

On another note, Scott Skiles parted ways with the Bucks, as predicted. His frustration couldn’t have been more obvious

I do think he’ll go absolutely crazy without a competitive outlet.

Um TBL, not sure how to put this, but isn’t calling Garnett a “studio gangster” analogous to calling him a “cornball brother?”

Come on, this is the guy who said Lin had a “kung-fu grip” on the NBA. What do you expect?

Thwarted there, he didn’t give up. Carmelo went out to the Boston team bus to try and confront Garnett. KG only steps to guards and Europeans, so it’s no surprise he didn’t face Anthony like a man.

So he’s a man if he “faces” Anthony and gets in a pushing match where no punches are thrown because there are people and cameras everywhere, but he isn’t a man for ignoring Anthony’s immature tirade? Interesting.

I can’t wait for KG to retire and spiral out of control. Hundred bucks says he gets beat-down in Vegas in under a year

See Walker, Antoine. However, I do imagine KG pacing back and forth frantically dying of boredom and not competing.

KG had probably long since forgotten what he even did and Melo all upset. Hilarious.

This is true. KG is an asshole, but damn it if he isn’t an effective asshole. KG already won this battle. Carmelo lost it as soon as he decided to wait by the bus.

They should link this video to the Urban Dictionairy page of Studio Gangster.

Melo is a fabulous pussy. Blast that fucker right in the jaw on the court or GTFO. Too bad it came to that Melo. You were a pussy for so many years you have to show you aint one now. Get outta here clown.

if KG would have stepped off the bus, melo would have yelled and ran off. he is the epitome of a bitch. plus, KG would kill him.

Absolutely. This is the same Carmelo that started a fight at MSG while with the Nuggets and backpedaled the entire time like a bitch.
