Legacy Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Warriors reserve Corey Maggette has been the recipient of boos from the team's home fans at Oracle Arena as of late. "It's not pleasant at all," Maggette said. "I remember the time when Al Harrington was here, and he was getting booed and he was asking to be traded. And I saw it when (Stephen Jackson) was here, and he was asking to be traded. And now, I'm getting booed for wanting to be part of this team through all this nonsense." Maggette claims he's trying to become a stronger person through perceptions that he's selfish and injury-prone. "That's why, man, you've got to have faith," Maggette said. "It's from my grandfather, Rev. Willie B. Dugan, and what has been instilled in me. It helps me through any situation. You can beat up on me. You can spit on me. I will keep getting up. You've got to get up. You've got to keep fighting."Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 lol who cares, if he is hurt. If he wants them to stop the boos then all he has to do is perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Next Knick Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 It's a little harder than that CO. I have respect for him, he's actually not going to run from this and try and get through this. Hopefully it works our for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) What I said is real talk. If he was such a horrid player why in the f did GSW trade for him in the first place. GTFO I mean we are talking as if the Warriors are title contenders. (no offense Legacy) Yet they are a franchise that makes poor decisions and then blames there failures on the players they drafted and traded for. Edited December 12, 2009 by Ya Dig!

Legacy Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) First of all, fans don't come in go here in Oakland. Maybe that's how it works in New Orleans, but not here. Second, what do you mean taken Maggette this far? If he just wants to be an NBA player, I guess he doesn't really want to do more in his career. How many years has he played, how many times has he been in the playoffs? It's the management's fault as well. We are talking about the same dumbasses that gave Adonal Foyle 8 million and traded Marco Belinelli for Devean George. Maggette is an idiot if he doesn't know why the fans are booing him. If he doesn't know, he should not be playing basketball because he does not understand the game. When you shoot 20 percent from beyond the arc, you don't attempt three of them per game. When your best attribute it taking it to the rack, you don't throw up random jump shots when you have the best shooter in the league (Anthony Morrow) in the corner open. He is a turnover machine. I can't count how many times he's turned the ball over due to a travel or a charge right when he gets into the game. If you only look at stats, Maggette is a good player, but if you actually know about basketball and what it takes to win, you know he's garbage. I don't even want to talk about defense, let's just say it's horrid. Maggette may be a nice guy in the locker room and buy his teammates presents, but that does not translate to wins. If he does not know why people boo him, he needs to try another sport, probably rugby. Until he proves that he is worth his contract (), he'll be Corey Regrettee for four more painful years.

I knew this was a terrible signing to begin with. It made absolutely no sense what so ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
