Melo too much of an alpha to let Barron speak and take over… this is why he had to look at the jester.

[@RyanMerch]

They let Phil Draft Frank smh

Still mad about Baron leaving 🤦🏾‍♂️

Bro that knee injury was horrific. Cracked his kneecap I believe but may be wrong

@@lamontlauren367 I remeber watching it live and seeing the other players raw reaction. Then the camera got a quick glimpse of it and looked like the knee caved in towards the middle of the kneecap 🤯

Nobody asking Carmelo tough questions. Too many people waving the Melo pom poms. Carmelo taking zero accountability all these years later.

Melo was never that guy. He chuck wagon. It's been proven 😂

[@josephlogel7158]

Did Phil kill the Knicks or did Melo? Bc from where I’m sitting I don’t see how a GM, he was a GM killed the Knicks and not the guy who came in after Stoudamire had the Knicks firing on ALL cylinders..to me it looks like Melo killed the Knicks …Melo was a ball stopper and Phil was a 12x NBA champion..FOH bro

[@Moorsho]

Melo low key a hater dude never cared about winning you could tell he sees as him scoring 60 points and losing that’s a win for him which is unfortunate.

[@alphabarry4115]

I look at melo’s career and come to one conclusion…he was selfish…Jeremy Lin was a breath of fresh air the Knicks needed but because Linda it’s took attention from melo he had to go. When melo went to pic & wanted him to play 6 man…ego wouldn’t let him. There’s more examples but I won’t rant lmao

[@Stonecoldalston]

The Knicks was trash before Phil got there

[@keithmurray3827]

Phil didn't help anything working from Manhattan Beach 😅

porzingis was the only thing good that happened to new york while phil was there

[@ohdaUtube]

Melo, it won't die off cause they don't have a player like you that would kill it... Also, they weren't running that triangle at a high level... it ain't Phil either..

[@vladokingsley3775]

Melo a hater bro

[@eatandrateitkstrading9065]

Maybe ruined the Knicks back then. We here now
