Imagine Jamel Thomas talking about the bad hygiene of his family growing up. How ungrateful is this bastard (in the true sense of the word). He should look at the hygiene of his soul. It is dark and selfish. His mind is sick.

This Jamel is a true loser. You should see his skanky wife. He should stop blamin Steph for his problems. He just can’t play ball. He doesn’t have the intelligence to match physical skill. By the way, did you say he went to college. Sounds to me like he has a learning deficiency. He can’t see reality and he can’t speak English. Shut up, Jamel, and realize that you are a loser. Greece even thinks you can’t play. Go cry to your scrawny wife.

Jamel Thomas was a legit pro. He caused havoc in arguably the best conference in college ball the past years. For some odd reason the not so high profile name schools in the big east get overlooked. If you get a big east player you know what your getting. Talent and a lot of heart. Mel was just like Melo with a better 3 at his size. If given the right oppurtunity which alot of great talent seem to be denied. Sky’s the limit. Blessings to the D-league which funnels alot of forgotten or missed talent. Had a game like Melo and Al Harrington from Brooklyn(Please take a while to imagine what he was.) Shout Outs to Buthcie(R.I.P) D.Flight, and litte Zach Marbury. BK stand up.
Another thing to remember the game has changed and will never be the same. Enjoy it for what is. To many times I hear the game isn’t how it used to be. We have a lot of today stars who would have shined or faired maybe better in yesterday’s game. A lot of the stagnation in today’s game. Is due to lack of respect this generation and after doesn’t get. Also somewhere along the line it seemed people forgot where they came from. We all learned from someone that came before us. Remember there will always be somebody before Mike that probably was better. Someone after who may even accomplish more. Let’s just enjoy our stars for who they are today and not wait til it’s to late to embrace. We’re suppose to help the game in any way possible that’s healthy. We have the talent just need more direction and people,coaches, scouts, reporters etc. That understands today’s player. They think,learn,play and are very opposite than what were used to. Different isn’t always bad. Let’s take time to try a learn & understand and we might actually see what’s been right before our eyes. The game with our bright young Dr.J’s, B. King’s, K.Anderson’s, Mike’s, Pearl’s, M.Jackson and so on. We’re all responsible in someway as to how it’s played and perceived. Sorry to get off topic. I’m definitely going to read the book and know it’ll be as good or even better than 5:30(TRUTH)I forgot to through in a little Glenn Big Dog Robinson in that mix. Mel please play in Hunter or the city Circuit summer (LET THEM KNOW) YOU BASSY,D.FLIGHT,Q.DOUBY,AND STEPH. Mal Tinsley could play too.

Glad he cleared things up in this interview because when they started promoting the book some time back, It painted the picture of him being a hater. I have a newfound respect for his “Realness” and I am sure that the book will positively impact those that read it.

Great piece, Gerald! Jamel has always been in the basketball circuit making moves and I’m happy for him and his success in his hoops career!

The Coney Island family has mad it so far…I wish somebody could give something back to the area and revamp it…

Word is that the area is getting better slowly..

that was a great read! Still a big bassy fan and hope things only get better for Steph. I can’t wait to get a copy of this book. Jamel seemed to play a huge roll during the movie so this should be interesting.
