I've been in more fights then you can dream of. I've been jumped by more the 2 people and attacked from behind numerous times. Not effing once did if RUN BACKWARDS and AWAY. I may have backed up and stopped to yes, get a better view of what's going on. But ran.... NEVER!! There is difference between backing up and running away, my friend. Also, he was not in a crowd of strangers.. he was in a crowd where half the people are his team mates. As I've already said.. he punchs like a bit** because as far as everyone was concerned the brawl was already over.. all the Knicks are walking to their bench..and then he steps in to get his 2 cents in... and proceeds running 3/4 of the court. You are freaking delusional man.."by no means he was running".. he was running as soon as he threw it and it wasn't even a punch.. i don't know what that was. If you can't take an ass whooping don't get into the fight to start with. Simple as that. And yes I've taken my share of those. Look at the video before you start yappin. HE RUNS AWAY FROM NATE ROBINSON AT THE END and flails his hands around like a school girl. El Verdad… you are delusional.

Dead wrong. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VESk5U6wbFg" rel="nofollow">Look at this</a>. The fight's even dying down and there's nothing really happening, and Melo comes in and hits Mardy Collins like - as you say - a b****. There's simply no denying it. He's<em> not</em> fighting in a crowd, he <em>RUNS IN</em> (no-one's actually fighting), hits Collins and turns tail. Sorry EV - the lamest thing I've seen on a basketball court... with the possible exception of Kermit Washington. Sorry El Verdad… but you are wrong. Dead wrong.

Have you ever fought in a crowd? Standing in a crowd without backing up to see what's coming at you is an ill-advised move and would result in an supreme a** whoopin. Carmelo was simply trying to see what was coming at him. By no means was he running. Get into an actual fight before callin someone a b**** for getting away from a crowd that could stomp your head in. To all the people saying Melo ran like a b****:

Melo isn't a leader, but that's not the problem. AI is the team leader, so someone else (even though he should do it on his own) needs to light a fire under Melo and the rest of that lazy team. George Karl has stopped caring about basketball, and maybe rightly so after life altering experiences, but he needs to go. Either that, or summon "Furious George" It’s not Melo who needs to go, it’s George Karl. Melo isn’t a leader, but that’s not the problem.

What does that have to do with anything. And by the way they have won ZERO rounds since then, so what's the difference. F, you might as well not get into the playoff then. "just because he is the best player on the team does not mean that he has to be the team leader." I don;t even know what that means. But at the very least if you are the face of the franchise you should carry some responsibility and not act like a douche that could care less and continually smears the name of the organization. And believe me the Nuggs will be the 100 time better off without him. He's like Starbury... he will bring nothing but cancer to any teams he goes to. F the regular season records. No one cares or remember that crap, man. You are made or broken in the playoffs. Dude is the next T-Mac. Who cares how many wins they had before they got him or how many times they made the playoffs?

Melo waits for the whole thing to be over, then sucker punches Mardy who's under the impression it is over. And to top it off, he runs away faster then a rabbit from a pack of wolves. Despicable b**ch a** move. Speeding and drinking & driving are two very different things. What's your excuse for the pot charges? What about calling your entire team a bunch of quitters when you don't even dedicate yourself to the game? The fact is in his "short" time in the L, the guy keeps making wrong decision after wrong decision. He is not a role model anyone should look up to anything in any way. His kid being the first one. Is all this stuff something you want your kid reading about when he gets older? He just doesn't get it and if he hasn't figured it out by now, he never will. And like I said before, if he does, it will be much to late to do anything about it because no one will care. Andrew.. at least CP3 was fighting his own fight.

He's a monster on offense, but couldn't care less about defense. He's supposed to be the leader, but isn't. I've defended him for years, but I've finally had to throw in the towel. He just doesn't get it. This team is dysfunctional and something drastic has to be done. It's possible Melo is the root of a lot of their problems. If he does go, I'm going to be really bummed. But Richard Jefferson can replace a lot of that offense, and bring some defense, if he's healthy. Marcus Williams straight sucks though. A shoot first PG with no D. There's a lot of players in this draft who could really help the Nuggets. I'll be interested to see what pick the Nets end up with.
