New York Giants Great Carl Banks came on a spat on social media with radio personality Gregg Giannotti on Monday when the reaction to New York Knicks’ season ending in an anti -climactic way poured in.
Giannotti was the biggest problems that Knicks had, pointing to part of the problem as Karl-Anthony Towns’ performance during the year and on top of his annual salary.

“At the core he is a loser,” Giannotti said at WFAN. “That’s their biggest problem. The guy is a loser. He’s a losing player. He complains. He’s soft. He shows your flash where he’s the best player on the field. Not enough. He doesn’t play enough defense. He B —- Es and moans. He is until this point in his career, a loser earning $ 50 million who will be a logjam as long as they try to get to the next level.
“He is coming to the point now as one of the most frustrating players I have ever seen in the uniform of a team that I rooted because I know how good he could be. And it is just so damn annoying to see him not realize that his full potential does not know if it will ever happen. I really do not know.
The former Giants -Linebacker did not take Giannotti’s comments easily.

“This is truly pathetic. Calling a man you’ve never met a ‘loser’ says far more about you than it ever could about him,” wrote Banks on X. “I’ve known Kat and his family when he was a child-there is absolutely nothing about him looking like a loser. Try to be a better human instead of sending this ignorant s —.”
Giannotti fired back against banks.
“Great to hear from you, the killer. You still owe me $ 500 from a look I did for you in 2010 in Pittsburgh,” he wrote.
Cities had 22 points and 14 rebounds in Knicks’ Game 6 losses to Indiana Pacers on Saturday night. He was minus-17 on the floor. He also set three 24-point performances during the series, but Knicks could never really close Pacers defensively.
