Isn't it interesting that Garnett received only a 1 game suspension for throwing the ball and a punch while "straight thuggish" 'Melo got 15? George Karl and I both find this fairly suspicious. Obviously the white fan base of the NBA doesn't want to see black people fighting, but do you think white people find Carmelo to be blacker than KG?
I do think that white people find Melo to be blacker than KG. It's probably the cornrows. I'm convinced that nothing scares white people quite like cornrows.
Cornrows are certainly controversial. At once a very black thing to do with one's hair but at the same time also something that is acceptable (in a limited way) for white people. As someone who once had cornrows, I can personally say that they're wonderful but also not something white person hair is really designed for. Garnett has a shaved head though... isn't that kind of a black thing that is of limited access to white folks? Do you think Melo's marajuana convictions have anything to do with the 'tude the NBA community is giving him?

And, yes, I have bookmarked MD 20/20's blogpage.

Or maybe it's the fact that he's not as ripped as Garnett...
