This speech lasted 30 minutes. All the inductees were given a time limit of 10 minutes for their speech, and he disregarded it to indulge himself in chastising the Hall over who they should have inducted in years past. Thanking his family should have been the first things out of his egotistical pie hole.
@iamhungey12345 However, Kareem acted that way to almost all of the American media, at least during his playing career. See Magic Johnson's 1992 autobiography, "My Life."
But Kareem proved too intellectual and deep-thinking for the shallowness of the American sports media.
I just heard Vecsey tonight on WFAN (with Steve Somers) saying he considered turning down the HOF, and keeps the trophy in his garage. I always considered him an arrogant, unfunny ass who thinks he's bigger than the story and the game. But he proved that he's even worse. What a total asshole. Glad to see most others here agree.
How come when I see anything about Peter Vescey everyone says what a piece of crap he is. Well, because no one likes him and he is a piece of crap. He's right up there with Jim Gray, another pile. Somebody get these miserable guys out of our lives.
Fuck Peter Vecsey! The white motherfucker wanna run his mouth about our Black basketball players but his white ass can even jump or shoot a fucking basket, I hate them white motherfuckers who make they living judging our Black ball players but cant play for shit and making money off exploiting my people, ya lowdown white motherfuckers!
why do people say this was a bitter and angry speech?? at first he was trying to be funny (didnt work) but still he wasnt angry...the 2nd part he spoke all truth...
Peter Vecsey is a scum bag! He built his career on betraying NBA's trust. He would hang out with player in the evening, pretending to be their friend, then report on everything he saw or heard. I hope he crawls under a rock and disappears!
such a shame. i LOVED him on "the NBA on NBC" -- but reading his NYPost columns is like pulling teeth. almost as bad as this speech. i e-mailed him at the Post and asked why he became so bitter and angry and sad -- and i was totally polite and respectful talking about watching him in high school and how much i loved him on tv -- he sent me a reply -- in not so many words - like #u@& off. thx for proving my point Pete.
Credit this guy with saying the emperor wears no clothes. Where is Artis Gilmore? Sports' biggest travesty is Gilmore's omission from the Hall of Fame. Springfield is a farce until Gilmore is in the Hall.
I agree, he does have a point. Most of the people who are complaining about the speech aren't complaining about the fact that it wanders and is disorganized...but because it's political and it's frank and it's honest. Any one who pisses off the commissioner though, is saying something worthwhile...
David Stern made them cut out the best parts, some memorable edited quotes: Vivian Stringer I dont know who you are. And calling out Calvin Murphy: "punk ass bitch Right, right? Thats what you called me right? A punk-ass bitch. ReIease the entire fucking tape Stern!
He had half an hour to thank his family and he didn't do it. That's on him.
He was 20 minutes (!) over the time limit on his speech

Where is the un-edited speech ?! The best part is when he calls Don Newcome a drunk!

According to him, Kareem Abdul Jabbar is "unapproachable and impolite".
I can see why since I'd be like that too if someone like Vecsey came to interview me. It's hard to take his columns seriously.
