Ingles interview
Basketball life- Seriously, get over it.
I take it you don't enjoy when you're given a taste of your own medicine and get some assumptions back after making some of your own.
SVD likes Ingles and that's his business- other posters on this forum like him too, and I haven't tried to persuade anyone to to stop simply because I know of people that have had direct factual encounters with him and people like you can't handle hearing that.
The only ones that have tried to dissuade others' stance on how they feel about it, is people like you.
People like you tried to make it personal because people like you can't handle hearing facts so then go on character-assasination tactics.
Seriously, get a life.

I like Joe


Lol- gotta love when the one-eyed hero worshipping zombies come out to provide their idea of intelligence to the discussion!


Give them a fair go- you stated "The issue is that do these peopl know him, or just assume. I believe in giving all people a fair go."
For the record, I have met Ingles 6 or 7 times and my choice to not like him is based on my experiences with him towards mutual friends who are male and female and were not 'treated with a fair go' by him.
If you want a fair go, there are times where you actually have to be obliging in doing the same for others.
We exchanged some words about his narrow-mindedness which others in the vicinity agreed was out of line and I have been around him a few times since then and not spoken to him because he still continued to act like a tool from a distance and doesn't think about the judgements he makes about people.
I've found him especially derogatory towards females particularly ones who are not interested in him- he seems to handle that very poorly.
How I feel about it is my business.
If you know him or more likely don't, but like him, then good for you, but when he's around alcohol he does himself no service with his bulletproof attitude.
Conversely I've met some great players that I have a lot of respect for- it's inaccurate to label posters as hating simply because they are the ones that you remember.
There are many players I admire but guys like Anstey, Wortho, Jingles and Bradshaw are not amongst them and that is my business- it does not need to meet with anyone else's approval.
The other thing is when people want some kind of 'proof' it trivialises the issue- when people do post proof others still knock or claim it's untrue because no matter what you say to some people, no proof is enough- they will believe what they want to believe anyway.
Speaking of Heal, I actually thought he was a tool as well until I met the guy a few times- he was nothing but friendly, courteous and interested in what was going on around him and he is fantastic with the youngsters- very engaging, so I had to change my opinion when I experienced that.
I don't doubt there are people out there whos feathers he ruffles, but from my own experience which is all I can go by (and what the rest of you can go by if you've met any of these guys) for me he's a good egg.
Not everyone's cup of tea, but my experiences with him and the charity events I have attended where he was very interested in the lives of the kids he spoke to, that spoke volumes to me.
I have been amongst players who have attended events and couldn't have looked more bored out of their brains.
I don't care if they'd rather be somewhere else- it is poor form to make it obvious because adults and even kids can tell.

At least we can spell kiddo.
Thanks for the continued stupid assumptions- be careful not to let any facts get in the way of your theory- can't have that now, can we!

So for those that think the root issue is jealousy, for every person on this earth that you dislike, does that automatically make you jealous of them?
eg, I'm hardly "jealous" of George Bush or the Octomum who had a zillion kids that she admits to giving no thought to how she will look after them financially and physically.
Get the drift? So don't be so quick to judge everybody jealous who doesn't agree with your view.
