@@bakgammonu waste of space 😂😂😂 melo is a HOF

[@greyklopstock7155]

​@@bakgammonhe was a winner in college. He was competitive right out the gate in the NBA and was offered a GENERATIONAL contract. When Melo was on the national team, he was the leader of the pack and the voice that everyone listened to for a decade. When it came time to get big buckets, everyone turned to MELO. He was given a no trade clause cause the Knicks wanted him SO BAD that they wanted to give the nuggets an offer they couldn't refuse. His two main teammates, mostly Amare Stodamire, struggled to stay healthy, and Melo even took a $5m pay cut on his first big contract with the Knicks so they could fill out the roster. Melo was a winner at every level and his TEAMS failed him. When he was on teams that were actually making good effort to win, making smart decisions, Melo rose to the occasion

Olympic Melo will always be goated. I wanted him to win an NBA title but that Olympic gold medal probably hit different for him and I respect that. Also, Roundball Rock didnt hit the same when Fox played it for their college basketball coverage the last few years. Hearing it on NBC's coverage of the Olympics made it feel and sound better

[@TheRoadLessChosen]

Yea yea. But Melo would still say exactly what others do, dream team is tops. Period. But not by much. Difference with the Dream Team is the fundamental because of their roots. So every one of those players could be the man and when they shoot they know it’s good or they could all be Booker and wait for the open jumper and still be the man. But they didn’t face the competition this team did. They still wouldn’t have been close. You might think so but I’ve watched them all. Melo is becoming aware and wise about how to play. He borderline said fundamental basketball should be the standard across the globe.
