Melo wasn't a better Knick than Pat. These new dudes must think basketball started in 2000. You gotta research before you talk!

Bro please. Melo was definitely more influential than Pat. That’s the truth. Teague played in the league I’m sure he did his research lmaooo

Melo had 1 winning season in NY. They was losing damn near 50 games a season. This aint even a conversation.

[@jdmr1c3ing]

3 winning seasons, 11, 12 and 13. If they waited till the offseason they’d actually make the playoffs in 2014 because 85% of the roster wouldn’t retire and they’d hopefully not dumb enough to trade for B*rgnani

[@jdmr1c3ing]

@@1chrischoice I know thats why i said after 2013. I agree on the current team tho. Was responding to the Randle comment since that 2021 team is a better team than 2014 onwards. Randle is a garbage playoff performer so they’d lose anyway so bringing it up was pointless. I just wish Dolan didn’t trade the team away for Melo when he planned on coming here anyway so we could avoid dumbass takes

[@SCORPAIN88isme]

I’m a Knicks fan because I followed Melo, but Brunson clears. Brunson feels more comparable to Nuggets Melo

Sprewell was cold af very underrated but it’s gotta be Ewing all he did for NY can’t be overshadowed , melo and Brunson haven’t made it past second round in a Knick jersey yet

26 today doesn’t compare to 26 in 2013. Y’all stat watchers don’t know the game

[@Christo_Trismegistus]

And Carmelo's 26 back then didn't mean anything because Carmelo was missing the playoffs almost every year he was in New York. Carmelo was a great scorer but he was a losing player in New York

Frazier has to be the greatest Knick on court off and now a legendary run as the voice of the Knicks 💯

[@donekoburnside1546]

Brunson the best playoff performer but Ewing is the Knicks goat

[@LosLos-c4j]

It’s between pat ewing, Bernard king, Brunson need another 5 seasons at his current pace to be in the conversation

[@morell1185]

Frazier!! Melo id argue was more detrimental than curry. The way he played led us to one winning season… how many year melo lead us to not making the playoffs. Anyone whos still arguing melonis a great knock star is a casual fan who didnt watch him stand on the elbow for 15+ secs befor shooting a bad shot or passing it of to someone who only has a sec or 2 to shoot. He was the worst thing to happen during the 10’s

[@frankhortoniv3739]

I’m so confused by this caption

[@Dbmorgan]

As a resident New Yorker I can say people relate to Brunson more than Melo cause he a short guard balling his ass off in a talls man league….and he had to work for it so yeah we love that

[@1chrischoice]

To be a top nba you have to work hard so that makes zero sense. He has the ball all the time and makes all the decisions, his stats should be aligned with James Harden in Houston, especially when KAT is the focal point for defenses. JB is cool but we ain’t been outta the second round with him or Melo and he’s had a better team than Melo. Melo is the better hooper without question. They won’t even JB for the Olympics, neither of em lol.

[@resudeew2636]

Neither of them are close to being the best Knick of all time lol.

[@SmallWorld-ur7tl]

Starks is the best

[@JaysonWashington]

Mr clutch😂😂😂😂

[@greencreature]

Melo probably close to Bernard King as an all time Knick. Pat, Walt, even Reed clear

[@brentgreen3252]

Brunson over Melo IS SICKKKKKKK WORK lmao 😂😂😂 he’s too damn small for one !

[@Eragon3]

Melo was a selfish player that didnt inspire the team. He's a great iso player but that doesn't win championships. Been watching since the 90s and Brunson is a greater and more likeable knick by far

[@StJohnSB]

Eh Melo brought basketball ball back to NY. The front office didn’t surround him with a consistent team. He’s the reason why I became basketball fan, and I watched every Knicks game since 2011.

[@1chrischoice]

He wasn’t selfish, he was a scorer. Every team has a scorer or two on it, sometimes it’s the superstar. Like Kobe, T-Mac, Kyrie, Zach Lavine, Steph Curry, KD, Book, etc. As a organization, we didn’t put together a team better than the competition which were the Heat and Pacers with PG at the time.

[@treystylz4997]

Teague, you gotta be trolling 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@IMzKDC23]

I mean... All-Time, it's Walt Frazier or Willis Reed. Probably gonna be Walt Frazier. But if it's the past 25 years, it may just be Brunson.

We comparing a PG to a SF. Melo is an All around better scorer. Brunson has the luxury of getting a better Knicks front office that WANTS to build around him. He also is fortunate enough to have not have Phil Jackson ruin the organization. Recency bias is crazy

[@dagrinchiest]

Negative Jeff. Enough Melo slander. Y’all be buggin tf out. Melo took the Knicks just as far as Brunson did. He dnt get praise because he’s not a PG. PG’s usually the show runners & leaders & take teams further than any otha position in the game unless ur dynamic like Lebron or Jokic. They both never got us past the 2nd round so no he ain’t been more significant for us than Melo. In the playoffs scoring wise, yea he has the edge, thts a different discussion. But you can’t stand on that until he gets us past the level Melo did. People just love new things in a new time thts all 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@perfectosambula]

I can tell by the comments everyone is young lol walt got us a chip in 71 n 73 against wilt jerry west n the lakers. In the 80s is was my guy bernard king. And then pat ewing against the east in the 90s when the east was its strongest. And he took us to the playoffs every year took jordan to 7 games when jordan never went to game 7 in the finals. Prolly holds of the top of my head. All time in points rebounds n blocks. If it wasnt for jordan the knick was the best team in the east n prolly wud had a chip. For me its walt. Then ewing. Then benard. Melo not even in the conversation n i love melo. But brunson will be n that convo if he finish with the knicks

[@abanks7015]

No one is scared of the Knicks today. Most of their players play 40 minutes aka they have no bench. Starters have to play damn near the entire game to win. Coach don’t trust rest of team. No big man outside of KAT. Sims lives on the Bench. They are injury away from trash season. Playoffs no one sees Knicks beating Celtics & Cavs.

[@densenlewis5826]

We got a bench, thibs just be tripping he done this his whole career and still hasn’t learned🤦🏾‍♂️

[@abanks7015]

@ ya’ll do not have a bench. Unless multiple players get injured; bench will not be on court. What are Chances of bench doing well when they’ve been sitting the entire season. McBride thus far is the only player off bench that has done anything. Playoffs they’re going to be tired & burnt out plus dependent on KAT ( injury prone/ foul troubled) to make up for missed outside shots. Injury prone OG too.

@@densenlewis5826 Ong, idk why he been playing shamet over pacome and toppin (they were both injured last night but still tf we doing)

[@jdmr1c3ing]

@@abanks7015 His point is that Thibs only plays the ones who won’t be here next year, we have rookies who have shown flashes to be rotational players on a contending team but don’t play. Sims has been a solid backup center and stays as a DNP despite starting when KATs out which makes literally no sense. He plays Shamet and Payne together which is genuinely the worst lineup and won’t stagger them (shamet is still garbage)

[@jdmr1c3ing]

Dont get me wrong the bench is bad but we also really have zero idea if its actually as horrible as it seems because Thibs played the rookies like 3 games total and thats our depth. Not to mention the Deuce regression
