Carmelo Anthony was one of the best all-around scorers the league has ever seen. In his prime, the debate was often between him and Durant. He is widely known for playing for the Denver Nuggets and the New York Knicks. But now as a retired NBA player, Carmelo has been vocal about how he rather win an Olympic gold medal than a championship. This led to a lot of controversy. In this video, we will go over exactly why Carmelo's own decisions hindered his chances of winning a ring.

ball hog, don't hussle, don't rebound enough,never played defense, so insecure he couldn't keep his mind out of la la land,and selfish.want more?

[@Mikewillgetsit]

He chose his path and wanted more money rather than cementing his legacy as a champion. Sad and I know he regrets it

[@scalemodeltutor9841]

I believe he thought he can have both.

[@skywalker2759]

@@scalemodeltutor9841that makes no sense he asked for a trade when he didn’t have too so he was only thinking about the money lol

[@jaycharlton613]

@@skywalker2759 requesting a trade from Denver was done cuz they were going in a different direction and not running it back with the same core pieces from the previous Conf finals run.

Ironic how Melo chose the Money yet still LeBron is the Billionaire among them. Just goes to show that money will come if you just make smart decisions while also putting a lot more effort to your craft.

[@younglove3362]

It wasn't just the money.

[@fullmetal1766]

There is literally zero proof that lebron is a billionaire think about it how did he become a billionaire when his shoes and merchandise don't sell at all

[@OlBlO2l2lllZ]

@@fullmetal1766 🤣 lmao. You think Merchandise and shoes contribute that much on making someone a billionaire? Most billionaires doesn't have the Michael Jordan's path into making billions.

[@younglove3362]

@fullmetal1766 The same way you're assuming that LeBron isn't a billionaire is the way you're assuming LeBrons shoes doesn't sell. You're completely wrong and there's plenty of proof. I'd have a pair of LeBrons if I was willing to pay the outrageous price that others are willing to pay.

[@thomasscott1570]

he was more of a trick than a baller,

[@xXLilSmurthXx]

He made the right decision not going to Miami. He wouldn't have changed his game like Bosh did.

Good point. Thanks for watching!

[@jose.g2753]

Yall wanted Melo to be a Chris Bosh Kevin Love type player Melo was too good to be a LeBron sidekick/scapegoat He would have no legacy if he joined the Heat

[@kedrprao]

Melo wasn’t “too good” to be a side kick at all. He would have been a perfect side kick actually. Melo was never that superstar dawg who would make a team title contender. His Knicks got hammered against Pacers. If he left Knicks, Melo would have definitely have legacy even if he joined Heat or Cavs

[@cosmasaoko2607]

Melo was better than Wade plus his pure shooter than Bosh So 2011 would be his game to win .

[@thomasscott1570]

too sorry to even get to the finals. lbj took young weak teams to the finals in Cleveland. ur boy couldn't win in denver or new york.he's an overrated underachiever

[@SonnyK248]

Dude if Melo went there then Miami win 4 straight. Even with Lebron having a meltdown in the finals, Wade and Melo would be too much for Dallas. And Melo had way more gas in the tank than Wade and Bosh had. Wade was on the dip from 2013 and Melo was still elite at that time and for a few years after so who knows. Maybe Bron stays and they win even more in Miami.

[@jose.g2753]

@@SonnyK248 Even if the heat wins 4 straight Melo would get no recognition no accolades, no love, it's all about Lebron AD Bosh and Kevin Love have no legacy of their own, it doesn't matter how good they were They're part of Lebrons Kyrie saved himself by leaving and doing his own thing Kobe left Shaq and did his thing Scottie Pippin realize he had no legacy when the last dance came out that's why he hates Jordan now Players that are perceived as sidekick don't get respect

[@jesussamurai8433]

I’ll never forget when my bulls had that championship window tough defense, Thibs was coaching, Noah was at dpoy level even mvp noise, rose was healthy, deep bench, we just needed a bucket getter to help rose, But of course melo doesn’t come.

[@sido5857]

He wouldn't play defense or prioritize team basketball. All he wanted to do was score and get max money.

[@bball3048mmfr]

Carmelo's career in a nut shell. ^^^^

[@slimkillah76]

Detroit blew it. They should have drafted him.

[@victororego5208]

I honestly believe that they were the ones who ruined Melo's career. Should have drafted him 😂😂

[@IAm_DrLoveJones]

Championships are not guaranteed. The only thing that's guaranteed is the dollars on your contract. He made money, he was one of the best players in the era, and he created a legacy for him and his family.

[@17thN.O]

I find it funny that in this culture of money being more important than everything and "getting da bag" is life to people, basketball is the only place you are clowned and looked down upon for doing so.

[@mossfromdade3056]

who cut is that on Bron 💀

[@Shady00018]

long story short = Went for the bag first.

[@silvianosanchez8430]

One of the most overrated players ever. To call Anthony just another Alex English, is an insult to Alex English.

[@cosmicskokie2]

What is bro talking about. Multiple all star multiple all nba and top 10 scoring totals of all time, and 10 top scorers of all time

[@jlui21]

-- lol. Dayum, Alex English? Just checked, he only made 18 3pters out of 83 attempts. Melo, great scorer, sure. But Black hole on offense, no off-ball movement, zero on defense...He's nearly a NET ZERO in the game. Whether he scored 20 or 40 pts, his team would barely do worse if he just sat on the bench.

[@LowkeyYTReacts]

Bro if you believe what you're saying, you don't know ball

Delusional Melo

He thought he was Mike and Kobe Phil Jackson (Happy Birthday) was like ha-ha-ha, nah bruh

[@hunttu1603]

Well when ppl talks about greatest Nugget or Knick players of all time i bet nobody will say Melo's name!

[@vbeard5887]

Grew up poor and at the time being offered generational type money at the time I would have signed a 5 year desk with Denver too. Especially when you think they're going to bring you more help.

[@17thN.O]

Nah, Carmelo was greedy and wanted all the money available to him. In reality he should have done a wilder version of what his peers did earlier in his career and took the veterans minimum and been the 4th man on the Heat and they would he would have won those 8 championships LeBron was talkin about atbthat pep rally. Then he would have been a "legend" like the rest of them.

[@eddiemunster5171]

Denver got a Championship before NY.

[@johnykilroy5521]

How can anyone ever tell anyone to take less money?!?!? That's and instance things to say

Shoulda came too The Chi with D Rose

[@HighWoody]

He did do it to himself.we just had to witness it as fans.

[@oFrostlight]

I definitely think he would rather have a ring than a gold medal. I never really thought of him as a money chaser tbh, so this is eye opening

[@JayEm1325]

Without even watching I know its the stupid af Knicks trade lol. Bro could have just signed as a free agent and have a stacked roster

[@WillisMinggia]

He should have never left Denver

[@aznpikachu215]

He wanted the bag, he got em. He's really just finding excuses and doesn't really know that he's got an ego and a black hole on offense towards the end of his career..

[@phoenixheartyt7431]

He looks like chuch actually and same as chuck ringless 😂

[@bball3048mm]

Carmelo Anthony is playing the wrong sport. The NBA is 5 on 5. He's an iso player. They need to invent a 1 on 1 league. Maybe the NBA can create a sub league. I am pretty sure Carmelo would be world champion at it.

[@fullmetal1766]

And now Melo plays the victim lol

[@jamalrahmaan9804]

After seeing two teams basically cheat their way to a championship, Carmelo realize that the only way that he was going to win a championship was to team up with somebody like, LeBron James and the Golden State warriors did by recruiting Kevin Durant.

[@macewbee]

Yea basketball examed pointed this out years ago.

[@terrencefields5265]

What less money either way he was going to end his career with a half a billion dollars but "THE FOOL, chose wrong and now he's a passenger on the" No Ring Express, with conductor Charles Barkley for eternity 😎💯

[@host2498]

I'm glad he didn't join LeBron and Wade in miami that wouldn't have made his legacy same way it taints both LeBrons and Wades. Teaming up with 3 top 10 guys in their prime doesn't make you great. But Melos weakness was never becoming great on defense being one sided on the court never wins the ultimate prize. 09' nuggets was his best team but Kobe existed and ain't many better than him. Plus the move to the Knicks gutting the roster was dumb af

[@SS-us5vr]

Its fine hes a millionaire

[@antoniohorta5656]

Melo can't seem to do maths to well- try 28/29 yrs old when you could have resigned with Lebron

Melo was good,not great

[@onlyfacts3178]

he was great...great scorer...one of the best ever...

[@abadvibes]

He chose right by following his own path except that he could have made better decisions within the path he chose. He had really good people around him too throughout his career. But even if he made the right decisions, like not thinking only about money or letting his ego get in the way, he still would never have won a championship anyway. He was a very good player, no doubt about it. But he isn’t THAT guy.
