        Fred has a way of doing that.

        I have come here to chew bubblegum and kickass ... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

        • Fred's hard work has resulted in a solid increase in playing time. He has played at least 10 minutes in all 8 games so far in November (ranging from 10 to a high of 22 minutes last night).

          He has a ways to go before he gets close to his ceiling but his progress has been steady and great to watch. Keep it up FVV!

          • Looks like Delon Wright is out for a little while - ideal for Fred to grab the job and not relinquish it.

              I never trusted Canadians to begin with. #SaveFred
              The Raps subreddit loves him. I think with twitter, like all other topics, you see the vocal minority.

                That's good to hear.

                Speaking of love, I would love to have one of those olds-school "Purple Dino" jerseys with Fred's name on it. Those are badass.

                • I'm sure others have thought this and or said it but Fred's skill and contribution are not immediately visible. Especially to the average fan that sees athleticism before contribution and basketball skill. I remember several fans that used to just "rag" on Graham Hatch when he was clearly the best basketball player on the floor. Graham wasn't the best athlete but he was always doing the most with what he had. When I coached I always tried to separate these two ingredients; basketball skills / athleticism. Now we have a lot of "metrics" that help us identify these contributions.

                          • I don't think Fred was personally handing them out but I believe he provided the 200 turkeys on his dime. Nice gesture. Not surprising.

                            • Fans just wish the staters could play all 48 minutes so they dread any moment the bench is on the floor

                              • Fred was not on the floor for ANY of the 0-28 run by the Knicks.

                                A physician called into a radio show and said:
                                "That's the definition of a stool sample."
