[@jessud1]

Danny Max relax

[@maHTENNEK]

+Michael Lin that Melo's trade ruined the Knicks momentum. I remember Amare Stoudemire having a superstar caliber year with Raymond Felton. Going for 8 straight game with 30+ or more points. Then after the all-star break, the addition of Melo tilt them so hard.

[@L--jk1wn]

Witty Head Cant agree more. And Amare was never even close to that performance later on. Now New York has little flexibility for positive changes in the near future.

[@derrickparham6761]

Willie Gordon Nah not really, he could’ve done like Steph did with KD or like Wade did with LeBron: Took a step back and *shared* the spotlight in favor of *team* success. Carmelo was a great player, but he came back and saw someone else running his show in the Big Apple and didn’t like it one bit. Got Lin’s ass outta there.

[@frontxxrunner]

@@EM-sz8ft Carmelo had to eat a huge humble pie when teams couldn't use him, and he almost never played in the NBA again. It literally took that much to get him to learn a lesson to be less selfish.

Jay Cee the browns are good you don’t even watch football

[@MrAitraining]

@Hoodie Melo It was the other way around. He was a restricted free agent I guess and got offered a contract from Houston and the Knicks did not look to match it. I was ok with that then as it was too much money for him imo. My point was more that the Knicks played better with a real point guard and no Melo there hogging the ball. They just played better and unselfish.

Biggest shot of his career. Unbelievable confidence he had in himself to take this shot on like that. Well deserved

Lin was always a zigzagger towards the hole. That is what caused his injuries. I had noticed he only wore one pad on one knee & not both knees, in most games of this time frame. So it was not a surprise that the knee that got injured was the knee that had no pad on. Hindsight is 20/20.
