Melooooo one of the best scorers to ever touch a basketball. “He can get his shot off in a phone booth” still one of my favorite phrases today. Dude is under appreciated. Lowkey great story teller. Awesome episode. Congrats on 100

[@inputsandoutputs]

This man was banned from the league to keep him from passing about 3 or 4 people on all time scoring list (Shaq, Dirk, etc.) That's why it happened!

Blazer fans enjoyed the “Melo experience” , pick and pop is a thing of beauty! I remember, Dame and CJ lobbied had to get you to Portland. Although the time was short, Blazer land enjoyed your stint.

[@jaybarz003]

Melo was my best SF from 2010-2020.He was a dangerous shooter/shotmaker.Melo also had nice handles.He could also pass well,cut,play w/out e ball,def guards & was quick.

[@jarredkellum2684]

Ima big fan of the pod and melo is my fav player hands down ! Iggy also is imo the greatest roll player ever even tho all players have a role ! Just 100 eps down and melo being number 100 speaks volumes . Love this pod man

[@silewis9396]

Listening to him talk USA basketball was the best

[@katboss4886]

As you all know I am a sub since episode 1. So happy for your first 100. Still looking for the 100k subs!! This was an insightful one, Carmelo’s honesty was deep & gave me inspiration to never give up. Thanks again & see you on Friday

[@shawnstanley9620]

Melo is scoring genius ,MJ and Kobe could see it ,but the NBA never gave melo is credit for two great teams in 19 yrs .melo was highschool in oak hill and then Syracuse and won the nitty .melo is true seven level scorer

[@johngomez313]

Evan turner voice sound like somebody has him in a headlock while he’s trying to talk 😂😂 sorry first time hearing him speak 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@johngomez313]

Melo my fav player ever !! Sad how nba blackballed him to get him out the league !! Crazy to think if he would’ve never retired he could’ve been available to be on the knicks team right now ! (Scary) 😮

[@duecehunchos673]

Melo needs to play in the Big 3

[@coltondecker5091]

Close your eyes and Lil Yachty is interviewing Melo

[@silewis9396]

Ancient history

[@aaronmcguinea2863]

I really compare Melo to like Naz. Naz is elite still in music and really had a great rap career but they kinda don’t really give him the credit but if you kno you kno. Similar to how Melo’s career went in hoop.

[@dangerzone3470]

58:55 Evan 😂

[@richyrich2880]

This is melo’s best pod as a guest or host

Congratulations fellas. Reached heights Dwight Howard couldn’t reach.

[@user-rq9kg9gf2e]

I dead think harden and mike dantoni had something to do with it tbh

[@maxjennings8617]

I said oh shit Lil Boat doing sports now. Then I looked at my phone and saw Evan Turner 😩😭😅😂

[@silewis9396]

Nah theology was hard for me too🤣

[@stanleed.harold5457]

Imagine if Phoenix had Melo Crawford Thomas Dwight Cousins Rondo Faried Stanley Johnson all on the bench

[@silewis9396]

Why

[@bxny1511]

🚨 I was at that ‘04 McDonalds game at MSG i’ll never forget when local kid Jason Fraser who went to Villanova laid the ball up in his own basket towards the end of the game 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@BMB1105]

This man even turner sounds just like lil Yachty

[@danielgibson1441]

😂 im cracking up listening to melo explain why he failed classes & got kicked out of school. I can guarantee you it's way more than what he's saying: "i was tardy a lot & in theology i was going against the status quo.." i can picture this young knucklehead on some straight BS in school. 😂

[@ThousandairesClub]

*if you close your eyes, Evan sounds just like Lil Yachty* 🕵

[@j.r8640]

He ain't saying it but Jame Harden felt insecure with another Alpha and didn't like it

[@nopadnopencil]

Good episode with The Baltimore bully

[@BjtheLawyer_]

Melo said he got another two years with Kiyan. Is Kiyan planning to do a post grad year? 👀 idk if yah peeped that part?

[@reembright4231]

Bro and yachty should do a interview

[@silewis9396]

How original

Wish iggy would’ve not been on golden state

[@silewis9396]

Ah well. Womp womp. 4 titles later and retirement looks good for him.

[@jaybarz003]

I'm sorry 4 y'all divorce Melo.U and Lala were perfectly gud together.And y'all were married for 8yrs.Idk if u and Lala will ever gt back 2gtr.But I hope u will cont teaching & coaching ur son Kiyan to b the best basketball player he can b.And teach him to b a btr man.All is luv.

[@KAMEOALLAHIM]

35:33 That inkling i believe he speaks about.. His 5% ideology + Jewish ownership across the league didn't mix well

[@silewis9396]

Which would be basically religion causing rifts between two parties, like what happens in so many other parts of the world. Shit grinds my gears

[@slycooper1979]

Yeah and he was a street cat like Allen iverson

[@kshyne7182]

He said his IQ was high lolll…You were a great scorer, that was it

Still greater than anything you do.
