Carmelo Reflects on Marching Against Police Brutality in Baltimore: Stay Melo

A note from Melo: "Baltimore is the city that raised me, and I've seen the good and the bad. But after Freddie Gray was killed in 2015, for the first time I saw my city truly divided. With anger boiling over about the injustices suffered by underprivileged communities, I went home to spend some time in the streets and show some much-needed love to the people that made me who I am."

Carmelo is bigger than basketball, he is making changes in this world, and too bad that is not the stuff that you see in the media. God bless melo he keeps it a buck and always has.

[@lindaleudo]

He'll reap the benefits as soon as Westbrook brings his talents to the Garden and then there will be no excuse for anyone to question him… I know once he gets someone as savage as he is on the court + KP & Noah. The good he does off the court will be much much rewarding and recognized. Its sad that it has to be that way but good will always triumph

[@TheViviid]

Facts. Im from Baltimore and its always love for Melo. Argued with my cousins from BK all the time about where he's from, but in reality, he is both. No NBA player has done more for Baltimore than him, even though I see Barton making moves.

[@lindaleudo]

No he didn't he moved when he was 12 fool its in his bio on his site. Why the hell would he move at 8 the timeline doesn't make sense he said he began picking up the ball at a little bit before that and loving Bernard King how the hell would he see Bernard play from that little? Listen I know y'all want hero and he can be that he has a debt of gratitude for becoming some of what he is in Baltimore but this man is Red Hook's very own period theres a reason in college and in the pros he wanted to be here "my heart my city"
