THe first NBA jersey I ever had was a Melo Nuggets one. He was incredibly smooth, elegant, lethal iso player, an offensive beast. Such a shame he never was interested about the defensive end, I think Denver made a mistake thinking he had the mindset to be a leader right from the get-go. Indeed, the story would have been different if he grew amongst guys like Sheed, Billups or Hamilton. Streets will never forget him.

He'd have a ring, but I don't see Carmelo working any better with Larry Brown and could just as easily be pushed to garbage time as Darko was. The Pistons' mistake was not drafting Wade. I think the fact he was a little older and more disciplined means he probably would have been trusted as a backup for Billups or Hamilton and could have taken over after 2008.

Carmelo is without question one of the most prolific scorers not only of his era but also in the history of the game. Before becoming teammates on the Lakers, he and LeBron James matched up against each other very well. It's really a shame that Melo lacks the Playoff success that would've benefited his legacy in the NBA but he's still a bonafide first ballot Hall of Famer nonetheless.

The Knicks coach after D'Antoni was Mike WoodSON, not Woodstock. I remember bc I was such a fan of his, I loved that 2012-13 team so much. Those 54 games, omg. Such heartbreak when they lost to Indiana (not Miami) in the second round.
@swipernoswiping3053
@swipernoswiping3053 3 ай бұрын
Its not heartbreaking. Melo got greedy in the playoffs. The ball movement stopped. Jason Kidd was their most valuable player and they cut down his minutes. It's not a coincidence that the only times Melo has had decent teams it has been with good point guard leaders like Billups and Kidd. With Iverson he never got out the first round. They were winning against the Celtics his first year there in game 1 until Billups got hurt. They barely beat a really old Boston Celtics team in the first round and were in position to turn game 6 around when Melo went on the bench in the late 3rd and Kidd, Shumpert, and the rest started playing team ball and came back. Then Melo went iso the whole 4th and got his dunk blocked. He was trash. Thats when I officially stopped rooting for the knicks. The other players that got traded for him in Denver? Oh they were balling playing team defense more wins 56 in the tougher West. Would've gotten deep into the playoffs had Gallo not gotten hurt.

The only bad things of his career is the okc playoffs and his decision to trust the Knicks to give him a good team in 2014. His playoff success isn’t that bad considering he lost to lakers, spurs, and peak lebron in his prime. The rockets letting him go was just Mike dantoni getting back at him, they cut melo after dropping 27 points against the nets and noticed how he still was a STARTER with the blazers…bottom line, he’s top 50 all time and top 5 scorer ever!

Carmelo use to be one of my favorite players. I was impressed with his scoring, but yeah his lack of defense, stubborn attitude, unwillingness to pass the ball more clearly cost him chances of an MVP, more playoff advances and definitely an NBA championship. Me and him share the same birthday, and overall I can't feel too bad for him. He still had a financially successful NBA career although a mostly losing one as far as regular season records and playoffs go.

Knicks didn’t lose to Heat in the 2nd round in 2013. They lost to the Pacers. Melo had bad shooting in the 2nd round because he tore his shoulder from Kevin Garnett pulling his arm.

Look at his game. Go back to highlights from Denver. Dude is a cancer to any team; he's too much of a glory hound. He holds the ball a lot and does a ton of isolation. He doesn't look to make his teammates better. He doesn't create plays for them, he mainly passes when it is absolutely necessary for him to do so. Go look at his highlights and you'll see what I am referring to.

@@elhajjmalikel6266 he’s one of the best of all time with one of the most complete offensive games we’ve seen. Made it to a WCF but just never got over the hump in the Lebron Kobe curry Durant era. Not everyone gets rings. Doesn’t take away from all he’s accomplished and his undeniable talent

@@donavenmurray3463 I'm not denying his accomplishments at all, but look at his style of play. He's been a cancer. His best team was the Denver Nuggets squad from 2009/2010. He should've never left Denver because that is really where his decline started because that Nuggets squad was solid. They looked like a team you didn't want to mess with.
