[Bondy] RJ Barrett answer to Carmelo Anthony’s “bland player” shot: “I think it was funny. Because the next day I had four points. The game before I had 24, so he was almost right.”

That’s the best way to acknowledge it RJ!
RJ being humble about it and taking the high road. Love it
RJ is humble, you love to see his professionalism
Melo is my favorite player of all time, but based on how his career went, I knew he was gonna end up being one of those bitter old heads.
Mature response. Miss this kids character
King shit
RJ a legit guy.
Hope melo see this and apologize, came off as a hater for no reason
Edit – No offense but some of you can’t read properly. I said coming off as a hater. Appearing as opposed to being.
Also they even call his personality bland lol. Definitely not hating tho
I love RJ’s personality and mentality. He is willing to put in the work to be where he wants to be. Good for him and don’t listen to Melo!
Best way to look at it
I don’t know what the fuck is up with Melo lately
Guy wants to make headlines
He wasn’t almost right, Melo is right. It’s all good RJ. I wish you the best and imo I think you are who you are at this point of your career but you got to continue to improve and maybe one day you will make the same leap that Julius did in his career as a late bloomer.
Melo wasn’t malicious about it when he said it
I love this kid man. He had the best reaction to it
RJ is a good person
He’s just not a star player
And this is from RJ’s biggest hater
If you got offended by Melo’s comments, you’re probably an out of state transplant. NYers know that wasn’t a dig, just facts.
Melo is a shithead.
Unlike Carmelo, RJ may actually win something.
So far RJ shooting 54.5% and 39% from 3 in 11 games with the Raps
Melo needs to STFU and be okay with the fact he never won a ring
😭😭😭 this a great response from RJ. As much as Melo is a legend, he a spectator from a distance rn & you cant let spectators knock you off your stride. Kill the drama, acknowledge the statement, & move on
Good shit RJ
I really hope RJ grows as a player and gets a second run at the Garden later in his career.
RJ is definitely a victim of his draft class ranking. Had he been picked late 1st or early second, everyone would focus on the positives in his game and professionalism off the court.
Rj is bland
All I see is crying in the comments. Why can’t both parties be right? Lol
Damn RJ is just a goddamn professional. Media was baiting him so bad… Melo I want to believe really wasn’t trying to take a shot at RJ but I think out of context it looks bad
Well handled
My bad. I’ll take that L. Still doesn’t change it
