George Karl Doubles Down On Melo Slander Even Though He Received Multiple Death Threats

George Karl is one of the biggest coaching legends in NBA history and also one of only nine coaches in league history to have won 1,000 games.

After a very successful tenure as the head coach of the Denver Nuggets his last coaching station with the Sacramento Kings didn’t have his career end on the best terms.

But even though Karl can look back at a successful coaching career, it seems that he is still bitter about some of the missed opportunities with the Kings and Nuggets.

Karl is frequently slandering DeMarcus Cousins on social media, and the other day [we reported], he also had some slander for Carmelo Anthony.

And it kept our coaching staff up at night a decade ago when we were stressing the importance of team play and defense! https://t.co/riomQd667N

In a followup tweet, Karl asked for some internet heroes to ‘lighten up’ after receiving death threats for his comments. Karl though, instead of leaving things be doubled down on his Melo slander.

“Cmon man. It’s all Fun and hoops. I said Melo was a shitty defender and ball hog when he played for me. That isn’t news. Move on.”

I think at least 100 people told me on here to die or rot in hell in the past 24 hours.

Cmon folks. That’s not kind or cool.

Lighten up and celebrate life!!
