Iman Shumpert: Carmelo Took the Blame for Their Coach, Knowing They Wouldn't Fire Him (Part 9)

[@TedlaEKHAN]

Finally somebody giving Melo his just due. This is dope to hear.

[@coachhbosoccer]

Off the court never had a problem with Melo. & couldn't call him a bad teammate. Melo did Melo on average teams & similar to Westbrook on OKC, he just didn't make teammates better

[@ky5059]

Kobe did too, he said he was the hardest to Guard & T-mac was also the hardest to Guard

[@TedlaEKHAN]

@@ky5059 Definitely. A few other elite players like Paul Pierce did as well. I was more referring to the off-the-court and locker room side of things, particularly the latter. The media was selling the narrative that he lacked leadership/was a locker room cancer simply bc he was a ball dominant player.

[@ad2142]

Melo been my favorite player since college

[@Iamkingtho]

When players talk with nothing but respect about certain players and the media does the opposite should let people know something.

[@TheDCGuitar13]

Melo didn’t get the luxury of having 2-3 all stars beside him and never deflected the blame. He did his best with what he had and always made his teammates better. Just like Barkley or Malone, he was a legendary player that never had the right situation. I don’t know why they make him out to be a bad guy when anyone with personal interactions with him would take a bullet for that man.

[@dave.thedev]

Yet Lebron who's always been surrounded by stars consistently has deflected the blame and thrown coaches, teammates under the bus publicly with no hesitation. But he's the leagues and the media's baby.

Yup. Another thing is, every great player in his era that's looked at as a greater winner played with way greater rosters and co-stars for the majority of their careers. The few years where he had great rosters around him, he showed up, showed out, and was a legit mvp candidate.

Opious Robinson nah the real reason is because the coaches never let him play his best style they played him like a big man who can shoot but he should have been played like a tall 2 guard like in the ncaa finals and they should have let him bring the ball down once in a while like KD cuz he has great handles like a guard and a quick first step and is actually a great passer he just didn’t do it a lot but whenever he does bring it down he gets like 6,7 assists cuz he can actually see the whole floor but they stuck him in the post especially in ny and only let him bring the ball down when they needed a clutch shot granted he eats in the post but he would have been better playing at the top of the key like a guard
