Carmelo Anthony Speaks Honestly On Kiyan's College Plans & Difficulties of Making the NBA

[@user-hu2ed8oe8m]

Solid advice for kiyan. Nothing wrong coming outta college after 2-4 years. Alot of those older players coming out of college now are finding early success in the league and play their roles extremely well.

[@jaylenmitchell7165]

Especially Jamie Jaquez dude is tuff

[@Jab-Cajun91]

Tell these scouts to start drafting juniors and seniors instead of picking these 18 year old international players. A lot of them get benefits of doubt because they played pro since 15, but it should go both ways!

[@yaboyshadlite]

I was thinking the same thing this should be Brons approach

[@dionpace22]

Lebron didn't want him to be a basketball player at first. Bronny chose that. I think lebron is smart enough to know not to rush it

Man yall people is dumb. Lebron ain’t rushing his sons to do nothing. He already said heath is more important

[@diegohernandez9088]

Hands down best show right now out of all the NBA players doing it. Melo is always coming with fire.

[@kdaddy100]

In order to even be considered for the draft, the player has to be an elite athlete with better than exceptional skills that are consistent and able to operate at a high level with no injuries. You have to be BETTER THAN JUST GOOD.

[@ejay2075]

I realized how hard it was to make it to the league when my brother who was an elite ball player coming out of highschool, 6'10, strong as an ox AND played 4 years at a major school in the ACC and he still didn't make it to the league. Or my sister who actually was a McDonald's all American, won state championships, also played for a major school in ghe ACC, actually got drafted to the WNBA and STILL didn't make it to the league smh. Ish is literally like winning the lottery.

I remember watching college basketball championship game when Syracuse won, lead by a guy named Anthony #15 ... it was the first time i saw him play.

[@shyguy1630]

I think I realized how hard it was to make it to the NBA when And1 mixtapes came out. Some of those guys were really good but only like Rafer Alston made the league the rest struggled to get try outs.

[@HuffStars]

Alimoe and AO had NBA talent they just could never adapt to being pros. Partying and the street life claimed those dudes from having an actual basketball career 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@OrganizedMess]

Bron and melo didnt come from a wealthy family, but they kids do the grind is different.Their kids have opportunities they didnt have so hunger for it may not be the same.

[@Timur21]

I dont think thats the main factor. Bronny and Kiyan are just not that tall, so everything is 100x harder for them. Were also in a different era where stats are super important and teams are looking for role players. At that height, you have to be a point guard so your options are already limited.

[@indiefilmmillennial8338]

Bron and Melo each chose short women. You’re right, without that genetic height and strength, it’ll be tough.

[@Haywood_Basketball]

​@@Timur21they're both 6'4...lol decent height to play both guard positions (some are playing small forward at this height)... people always write off the fact that they couldn't make the NBA because"they weren't tall enough" when for a lot of ballers this just isn't true....plenty of 6'7 and above guys who didn't make the league either

[@Timur21]

@@Haywood_Basketball It’s just a fact that it’s much harder to get into the league at 6’4, which usually is more like 6’2 or 6’3 lol.. If Bronny was 6’7 there would be much less doubt about him getting into the league..

[@kennylafortune63]

No he’s not “league ready” he’s a rotational player at best if he’s lucky

[@Flare6]

3:30 this nugget about the WNBA is facts. It’s a sad time when your league can’t even sign its 1st round draft picks due to the lack of available roster spots

[@Brilliance728]

Melo with a deadass brilliant point - look at RJ Hampton and compare his career arc to Jamie Jaquez Jr. both play on the Heat, took RJ 3 teams to settle in and find a role while out the gate in his rookie year JJJ is looking like he can be in the league for at least 10 years. We've skipped building the foundation to get kids in the NBA sooner because it's cheaper for the owners and has financial outcomes for those at lower levels

[@quannnn_4x]

Melo should’ve told Zaire wade this

This is solid advice but I also feel us kids nowadays I’m 15 6’4 yall probably don’t care but I’m Just giving an opinion kids back then who were 17 18 or even 16 look like they was 20 if they were athletes so they already had grown man body’s but kids just have height and don’t really look like adults

maybe because the young fellas dreaming of the NBA really can't comprehend the math/statistics behind the chances of making it to the league.

[@goodymob9638]

People don't understand that the NBA doesn't really develop players, and it's really not their job. You have training camp, and the it's games with not much practice. You'll be one and done, and end up on the bench.

Once these Parents start TEACHING their children about the importance of an College Education. Not rushing out of college, staying at least 2 years to develop their games. The quality of the Game will get better.
