Carmelo Anthony and George Karl Are Beefing Again | The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The George Karl vs. Carmelo Anthony drama is weird, but is it also sad? Then, Lucy and Jess have takes on what Dan keeps referring to as the "College Football Measurement System," the crew gets over their post-football sadness with more CFB business talk, and a very current and not-at-all-dated legal issue between Burger King and Hungry Jack's. Plus, Amin cares about basketball and explains why All-Star Weekend may actually be an issue for Adam Silver and the NBA.

[@Harrin42]

Milwaukee giving Giannis number 34 when they had Ray Allen wear the same number is probably the closest similarity to Carmelo-Jokic

[@christophermoore8524]

Burger King is called Hungry Jack's in Australia because an unaffiliated chain already held the trademark for Burger King. Burger King eventually claimed the lapsed trademark for Burger King and opened some actual Burger Kings, but now those restaurants are also called Hungry Jack's.

[@DJV7893]

Dan, Jessica and Lucy thinking Michigan wasnt a legitimate champion STILL just shows how petty and miserable they are. Again, Michigan did not cheat its way to a champion because there is no definitive proof that correlates sign stealing with tangibles outcomes on the field that led to them winning more games that not. Mike's the only one on this show that has actually given props to Michigan for winning. Give it a rest please.

[@irwintyler9357]

So then why was your guy is disguise on another teams sideline 😂 You should give it a rest as well dude 🤡

Dan needs Amin. Like he needs Stu. Cause my god!!! The droning, the interrupting. I get the show,have for a decade but Dan is hyperbolically stretching to reach points that aren't even points

[@tskinsplaylists2972]

Dan is getting worse with his sports , political, and social opinions. Mostly because he doesn't evolve his thoughts. Though I find Jess pretty annoying most the time seeing her smack him down regarding college football was quite the treat. There's not enough pushback on Dan's stupidity. Samson called that out a few episodes ago

[@sbull32]

[@DaFactsNoNonsense1713]

Carmelo didn't accomplish anything throughout his career, yet somehow has "smoke", for HOF coaches, who've achieved MUCH more than he ever will = Carmelo's so proud getting paid to LOSE, while pretending he didn't

[@richardphan1182]

You guys fail to forget Zach Randolph was given #15 the season AFTER #Pettymelo was traded as well. Melo wanted out. DENVER OWES HIM NOTHING.

[@cafecitocrewgaming1768]

Luis Suarez bite jokes when he went through therapy after last doing it a DECADE ago. Really cheap take Amin.

[@mattreynolds612]

Melo abandoned Denver. The # 15 was already worn by someone between Melo and God, er I mean Jokic. It is not a comparison. Melo doesn't really care. He was baited into saying it was petty by the Nuggets by the other guy on the podcast. George Karl is a complete A-🕳️!!! But has nothing to do with the number issue. Denver fired him after he won coach of the year. Cuz that's how we roll in D-Town. Carmelo Anthony is also the most underrated and complete scorer of his era. I loved watching that Dude in Denver. Jokic is an even better scorer, plus He is the greatest passer the Association has ever seen. A 7' hybrid of Larry & Magic.

[@ChrisPweb]

The soccer discussion is painful. Nobody is good at explaining anything lol

[@averysmith]

Mike is the only one who knows anything and even then, he doesn’t know all that much.

[@finallyfamous9564]

Michigan won the title, nobody is taking it away Period... Ever.. 🎉 😊

[@shayalkobi83]

Steve Nash was 2 times MVP and responsible for the best basketball Phoenix. Ever played , carmelo was a good player who wanted out. I don't think e spent enough years or had. Enough accomplishments to have his jersey retired.

[@MrCopacetic23]

Love Ray Hudson. Cleaner than Neutrogena 😎

[@funny00011]

I truly love this show!!! Everyone on all the shows are funny,smart,etc etc!!!! The Le Batard universe is one of a kind.

[@traviskemp6222]

I like how Dan acts so appalled about Michigan scouting scandal and in his words “cheated its way to a championship”. This is the same guy that touts and brags about the hurricanes of the 1980s that were dirty and filled with scandals that included players being paid for performance. Another example of Dan being a hypocrite.

[@kevinorellanaable]

Dan let whitty and Mike sway his opinion on soccer. Messi hasn't done anything in the Spanish league or the French league in years. And the media loves messi. Messi robbed Lewandowski and halaand of the player of the year awards. Mbappe had a better world cup the year he won the world cup they didn't give him the award. Ronaldo was having more success in Spain then messi and now Mbappe and halaand are the best players in the world. Dan is in Miami so he feels the messi buzz. You don't think the same thing is happening in Saudi with Ronaldo.

[@samsonlite3334]

George Karl has some deep seated issues around his playing career and men who don’t look like him. He’s been off air not because of his sickness but also because he started going ryt wing on coaches in other topics in a blk dominated sport. Other analyst were pi$$ed off and wanted to ether him.

[@GTBGood]

Dan, to answer that question... Tom Brady.

[@mbabaneamputee7725]

it was in advance scouting it's not the cheating scandal you think it is

[@pokerguy2210]

Denver should turn 15 into something special where their star always wears 15. Similar to what the cowboys do with 88

[@Freerider93]

Nah it's being retired now lol

[@13orangeroo]

The other defenders are doing less cocaine.😂

[@MisterGravelrama]

Michigan was able to cheat their way to a championship without question because all of you let the Cheatriots skate to multiple championships the same way over the last two decades. They even got caught again this year!

[@CChrist-mh4mk]

The Patriots have been cleared of all of their scandals except for the first.

[@ianraymondgillespie]

Professionals get paid for the work in their profession. These players are just no longer banned from having a side gig as a spokesperson / spokesmodel for associated product.

[@AnAfricanShah]

100%. This is basically like saying Lebrons Nike deal should count as part of his NBA salary, related sure, but not the same. Since Jordan still makes money from shoes is he still a current professional Basketball player?

[@ChuckNorrisTrainsSharknados]

HATE TO BREAK IT TO EVERY ONE, JOKIC WAS #15 before coming to the states

[@themediumprofessor]

4:35 actually, no. Not only is he the most successful second round pick ever *by several miles*, his success was forced upon him by his older brother(s), one of whom directly witnessed the failure of the most hyped European big man ever, Darko. Milicic. while living in. Darko's. house. Darko's expectations actually got transferred to Jokic and were exceeded not by the second overall pick, but by the second round pick whose brother watched a calamitous downfall a decade earlier. Real life Drago & son.

Its kind of disingenuous to say college players arent getting paid based on their play and only because of brand deals. Caitlin Clark would not have a marketable name/image/likeness is she was not a high profile athlete. The colleges just passed off the responsibility of payment because they didnt want to figure how to pay them fairly or take away from their profits.

This is such a bad take on the Nuggets/Melo situation. It was not the Nuggets who made it dirty it was him by leaking out that he'd only play for 2 or 3 teams if traded and that he wouldn't resign if he didn't go. So the nuggets sent him to NY like he wanted and happened to get great assets before the trade deadline the year he requested it. In addition, he left in 2011 but in 2013-14 Anthony Randolph wore #15 and when Jokic was drafted he chose the number (which he didn't officially play in til 2016) because it was the number he had worn his whole career in Serbia. To say it was spiteful for the Nuggets to not retire a jersey number for someone who demands to leave the organization is laughable.

[@themediumprofessor]

just further proof that they had zero respect for Melo: I loved Anthony Randolph as a prospect but he wasn't remotely a sure thing at any point. In fairness to the Nuggets, they probably had little expectation that they would retire Melo's number because, let's be honest, he didn't do nearly enough of anything to get his number retired in Denver. I'm not even sure he gets 7 retired in the Garden tbh

[@hoodyplz]

​@@themediumprofessorjust further disrespect of Melo. Was there another nugget note worthy since Alex English???? Stop talking out both sides your mouth Melo was the best nugget since English and was arguably right up the with Ewing knick wise? Can you even name 5 nugget hof players or knick players?

I disagree with Lucy on her opinion that CFB is top-heavy. CFB used to be top-heavy, but NIL has leveled the playing field. There will be more parity now. With there being only three major conferences for the moment with one on the way out (ACC), this will increase the parity.

Ronaldo is better. Everyone is making this claim because of the 2022 world up win in which Argentina was awarded 5 penalties (most ever in any tournament) and had 2 penalty shoot outs. They were awarded a penalty in the quarter finals, semi finals, and the finals. They were very, very lucky. And that world cup win doesn't give Messi "the edge".

I cant see Amin's point about Melo. There is no way a player can force his way out of a franchise and bad mouth them on the way out and also get his number retired by that same franchise. Melo just cant get over the fact that a much better player is wearing his number for the same franchise.
