What is that proph?
Dolan gonna Dolan. Working at MSG probably sucks. Bernard king was forced to delete the following tweets.
“If Carmelo’s shoulder is hurting that bad — work the paint — drive and dish — become a facilitator — it’s a TEAM game,”
“I was always taught — Take High Percentage shots — don’t force it — don’t be a one man show — don’t over dribble — ball movement.”
“The Knicks MUST move the ball more and take the open shots — must stop heaving up bad shots because the shot clock is running out.”
Deleting the critique of Carmelo Anthony from his Twitter account, and totally shutting @30BernardKing down, was a brilliant career move by Mr. King.
Even if he was probably encouraged to do it.
It further endeared him to James (Guitar Jimmy) Dolan, which guarantees King more face time on the Madison Square Garden Network. He can also count on getting other paid assignments that come the way of former Knick greats.
On the other hand, King leaves the impression he let Dolan and Co. dictate to him. And he is left with the following problem: Why would anyone watching trust anything he has to say?
He must not care. It doesn’t matter to King that his story about an “associate” posting the Melo analysis is, at best, hard to believe and at worst a flat-out fib. Why would a man of King’s stature be so irresponsible, so careless, that he would actually let another person express his thoughts as if they were his?
Probably because he didn’t.
And if King was so adamant these were not his tweets, that a “friend” and “co-worker” had taken over his account posing as King, why was it a “Knicks official” who initially went to the media to spin King’s version of the story?
RELATED: MELO NOT WORRIED ABOUT J.R., RIHANNA RELATIONSHIP
King should have been out there himself before anyone else, screaming bloody murder that he had been done wrong. Instead, the newly minted Hall of Famer waited a day before he surfaced and stuck to the “official” script in an interview with Newsday, owned by Dolan, Melo’s No. 1 fan and benefactor.
If King didn’t assign blame to the alleged “associate,” and portray himself as someone who never accentuates the negative, would he even have appeared on MSG’s Game 2 postgame show Tuesday night?
Not only would King not have been allowed in the studio, he probably would have been told not to show up at the Garden. With Patrick Ewing in the arena, it would have been easy to move the Big Fella into the studio, where he has also appeared during the playoffs.
Once King copped to the party line, once everything was cool, his gig as a part-time studio analyst was safe. With the expanded postgame show, there was ample time to explain why King, the analyst, had become part of the Game 2 story line.
Instead, they attempted to turn it all into a joke. Al (Wiggie) Trautwig reminded viewers they could follow him, Alan Hahn and Wally Szczerbiak on Twitter.
“And we’ve gotten you (King) a fax machine,” Trautwig said, laughing.
“I’m on fax,” King said. “So if you want to contact me, send me a fax.”
