Ex-NBA coach George Karl says more than 100 NBA fans want to see him dead for bashing Carmelo Anthony on Twitter.
Karl coached Melo on the Nuggets from 2005-2011. Denver made the playoffs for most part, at that time.
70-year-old Karl hasn’t held back when criticizing Melo in the past saying he was selfish and a liability on defense, which ruined the Nuggets’ chances off winning an NBA title.
Now that Melo is hoping to help LeBron James and the Lakers win a championship in 2022, Karl has fired off some shots at the 37-year-old trolling Anthony’s comments about losing sleep over his quest for a ring.
George Karl said:
“Melo Wasn’t a team first player or good defender here in Denver,” he added. “And it upset us when he asked for a trade especially after I was sick.”
It is pretty clear, that George Karl is pretty upset at Carmelo Anthony and addressed the angry fans with yet another tweet Tuesday night.
“I think at least 100 people told me on here to die or rot in hell in the past 24 hours,” Karl said. “Cmon folks. That’s not kind or cool.”
“Lighten up and celebrate life!!”
