First of all George Karl was a terrible defensive coach so he can criticize Melo all he wants but he needs to look in the mirror. Also, Melo didnt exactly have a choice in the matter about his father. He died. Thirdly, there are WAY more people who have negative experiences with Karl as a coach than Melo or KMart as players. (See Ray Allen).

[@pianmario1]

Ray Allen, Gary Payton, he pretty much got the whole bucks team traded most nuggets didn’t like him. Idk but seems like he was doing something wrong

[@MatthewEvans_TheHadMatter]

Classic case of old white guy taking credit for things people of color were actually responsible for, not to mention that they were able to do those things in spite of him doing everything he could to muck it up. Honestly, go back and watch his OOB plays and late game scenarios to see what kind of game knowledge he actually had, especially on defensive coverages and gameplanning. Coaching only on offense is flashy, showy, and lazy. Might make some fans, but it doesn't win titles. Obviously.

@@onestopfunstop317 so other than Karl you would have to give examples from other players. That's the point one person can say anything but how can you just assume it's true. Karl attacked a lot of players lol. Then later in his career there are more chances of him to be accused of this and nobody ever said anything lol almost always the complete opposite

It was PR for the book.

[@DouglasNYC]

To sell books smarty pants. Same reason "fire and fury" came out with a buzz. Publicity sells . Make a bogus claim on some famous people, get free promotion and exposure until the next big story. Regardless if the claims are true or not. But in this case I think it's just his personal opinion, doesn't mean it's true.

Its crazy for a coach to say all this negstice stuff abiut a 20 yr old player. Its not like he had 10 yrs of bad habits and superstar areogance Karl had to deal with. If after 6 years with a olayer that you got with basically a clean slate he has all these negative traits then maybe you failed as a coach to develope him into a good professional.

No. They are grown men and carmelo is selfish. Everyone knows that

Billups said Melo only cared abt his stats

[@zhairetariq2002]

Billups who got outplayed by D Fish, JWIll aka White Chocolate, Boobie Gibson and a young Rondo in playoff series. Billups disappeared in those elimination games.
