This should clear up any confusion over the A.I. / Melo relationship...

I dugg a lil' deeper. There's a related video that shows the boys preparin' for the night out. DerMarr gets his rows done. And then they're on their way to the game. DerMarr's friend says it's the last game of the season against the "Mo'fu'kin Minnesota TimberWolves". On April 16, 2007 the Nuggets played their last home game of the season vs. the Wolves. That was a monday, so that's when the video was shot. The end of the video shows some of the same footage that's in the video on your post.

The very last game of that season was two days later: Melo, AI and Camby got the night off as the Nuggets beat the Spurs @ Alamodome.

This probably won't create a big hoopla as I'm sure this has been seen by someone else before us, and the boys have to know that this stuff is out there of them, but isn't it nice to know what kind of players we have our kids look up to? Geesh. I mean, I'd seen Camby around town a couple times in the past few years and it's just sad knowing that a guy like that (super classy) is now gone for absolutely nothing and we have straight thugs who feel they have to keep it real to the streets and throw around the N word as they do.... parlayin' and hangin out with this dude Don Juan who (if you look him up on YouTube) is apparently DerMarr's boy and proclaims in one video in which he's smoking a joint while driving somewhere in the Denver area that he's came out here to take over the town... something to the effect that it was there for the takin, so he took it... in reference to claiming this turf in the hip-hop world.

I don't make this post as a total square though... I'm actually a bit torn. I mean, I'd be super hyped to be able to spend a night clubbin with AI, Melo and DerMarr, but they have serious issues with stupidity to have this type of stuff get out there for the world to see. And it's obvious that AI is NOT a good influence on the younger players developemnt because they see him ballin outta control and think they can do the same, but apparently didn't get to AI Ballin' 101 class in which he teaches not to drive drunk (read: Melo) or without a license.

Side note: Anyone else also see on TMZ that K-Mart was in a car crash in Belieze (sp?) with rapper Trina aka "Tha Baddest Bitch"? Trina's hot for a rapper hoe! LOL My girlfriend told me about it... I don't go to TMZ so I had to take her word for it. Apparently it wasn't serious... but it's quite bizzar.

Lol, that video makes me laugh everytime I watch it.

I always thought that AI / Melo would be friends, I guess. Eh, it was kind of cool how AI stood by Melo when he appologized for his DUI too.

All I kept thinking while watching this video was- if somone had a camera when I was younger, & could post videos of me & my Boys hanging out, it wouldn't look & sound pretty either! Guys, let's get a grip here. These are young dudes, celebrating the end of a long season, probably knew they wouldn't play the next game, & someone filmed it. The frequent N-word references is more alarming than anything else on the video. But walk down any street in the inner-city, & it's what you'll hear. My kids aren't black, but among themselves, they throw this word around- & it's definitely in the "music" they listen to incessantly! Was this a smart move by these guys- not entirely. They should have been more aware. Is it a big deal- I don't think so! A non-issue in my view!

Cool crew!

You know if a psychologist was to analyze the way Nu, gget fans were acting right now, they would conclude that the Nugget fans are suffering from severe depression. They've lost faith in their management, coach and players. 90% of the players on the team have been suggested as trade bait. At the end, the Nuggets are hopeless and until they get their act together I refuse to waste my time on them. However, no matter what anyone says AI has put his all for this team, and regardless of all the negativity that he has received, he has managed to remain calm and I respect him for that.

This video is hella old, I don't see how it's even relevant now.

Its the fans and media that keep up the "AI vs Melo" garbage..not them. Ever since Iverson came to Denver, its been nothing but "who is supposidly better then who".."who's team it is" and so on, its ridiculous. Its almost as if some fans don't know how to support two stars on one team. Treating either one of them like the enemy, when they play for the SAME team.

While Carmelo, JR and whoever else are younger..they are still grown ass men and shouldn't have to depend on someone else to show them how to act and conduct themselves. I feel like saying "Iverson isn't a good influence" is a cop-out and yet another excuse by some fans just to give Carmelo a pass on his actions...AGAIN. When are some of you going to hold Carmelo responsible for anything having to do with this team? Or was Iverson just brought to Denver to be a scapegoat for everything? Carmelo and JR were in and out of trouble way before Iverson even got to Denver, us all a break. AI is also a grown man and is going to do what Iverson does, but when its all said and done he handles his business on the court and thats all I care about.
