Funny, because you just a couple days ago labelled everyone an IT hater in another thread for any level of criticism directed his way.
What's funny is both you and Kingster act like you've always been completely objective when posting about Reke and are unfairly labelled "haters", yet you both are among the first to call anyone who critiques IT a hater.
Not that I really care one way or the other, but the double standard is amusing.

Go look through my history. You will see I was one of the biggest supporters of Reke. I was one of the VERY FEW who clamored for him to be drafted while the vast majority salivated over Rubio. At some point this season, people began to become extremely defensive about any faults of Tyreke and have refused to acknowledge that he is likely not the player some people thought he was and that is okay! I go to a couple other Kings forums and for some reason, there is a unique culture here in that fashion. At one of the others (SactownRoyalty), there is a much more objective culture in regards to Tyreke (and IT). I distinctly remember during some of the game threads this season, mods silencing/threatening /mocking people who even only hinted that there was better ball movement when Tyreke was out. I remember specifically one mod stating something to the effect of "I wouldn't go any further if I were you" after someone pointed it out. At some point, the support for Tyreke led to less support for other Kings including Thornton and IT. I remember one of the major members of this forum comparing Tyreke to DMC while comparing Thornton to Hayes. To say that the culture here is objective in regards to Tyreke would be off to say the least.
Right below this comment is another perfect example. Responding to Gary, who disagrees with Mal saying that Marshall isn't as good as IT, mac tells Gary to not "waste his time" discussing the topic because he says Mal is an "IT fan". Yeah, it is so wrong to be a fan of a player on your own freaking team! This is just silly. By this logic, I could say to disregard what a ton of people say because you are a fan of Tyreke, a fan of DeMarcus, or a fan of JT.
