He could've just pushed him out of bounds or something

[@Mrboogersrgreen]

i watched the replay and that was almost clean. what type of foul was it

[@tristammonforte7065]

True. Antoine Wright wouldn’t have said he fouled hin if melo missed the shot. Dumb move and they paid the price

[@ScottiePimpinOnGod]

Watch the coaches put their hands up on the replay too, as if to say not to foul. It's almost like they told the refs we aren't going for the foul here, so don't assume we are. Then when he hit the shot, they tried to turn on the refs

[@TheRafaelBond]

who cares? it was an instinctive move, he fouled none the less, are you stupid bro?

[@JCATG]

Melo was cold-blooded in his prime and I hope he would go down in history honored as one of the best to ever play.

Dirk wins the war. Melo has always been one of those low tier superstars. Someone who's really good in spurts but you can't win a chip if he's your best player. Kinda like T-mac, Vince Carter, James Harden, Russ Westbrook, etc. They're good but not winners

[@dirkcurritzki9585]

[@mattkulovic3335]

Lot of buckets in this video

[@7EVSays]

Melo should take off the sleeve on his shooting arm & go back to rocking one like in Denver. I always felt he didn’t need it & it threw off his shooting

[@7EVSays]

Clutch7 That was 1 year, And we both know how streaky can be & I think the sleeves have something to do w/ it. I’m pretty sure he rocks the 2 for style, Not because he thinks they help him

[@7EVSays]

Clutch7 He had his most efficient year in Denver dummy, Only thing he posted in NY was a career high in 3pt% & like I said it was only 1 season, And do you know how shooting sleeves work? They’re meant to keep your shot mechanics straight & that’s why guys like D Wade & LeBron wear them at times, Melo doesn’t need that. Learn what you’re talking about

[@7EVSays]

Clutch7 I’m talking about FIELD GOAL PERCENTAGE DICKHEAD, His boost in 3pt% in NY is also due to the fact that he took more than he did in Denver, I didn’t say I cracked a code, It was an observation over the years that I watched Melo. I didn’t say I was 100% right I jus feel he’s a better shooter w/ 1 sleeve

[@7EVSays]

Clutch7 Clutch7 You are an idiot & still missing the point where I’m talking about OVERALL PERCENTAGES & you’re still exclusively talking about 3’s. His best shooting years all around were in Denver & his shot mechanics always stayed the same w/ one sleeve where as in his later years his jumpshot motion wasn’t as consistent. Learn the game

[@7EVSays]

Clutch7 He came to New York when he was 26 ! He wasn’t even in his prime yet & was still averaging the same amount of free throws he did Denver the first 5 years in NY 😂😂😂 You really don’t know basketball & it’s clear you don’t know shit about Melo either.

[@StuntmanBeatz313]

Ref couldn’t see that foul plus Melo was fumblin the ball, “Looked” like a clean strip..

[@user-ql3ws5uz1d]

I feel like Mavs doesn't get talked about much.. it has been a top team over the past twenty years

[@robsmith6650]

I think Prime Melo is with the Knicks. The reason no one talks about that cuz his Knicks were mostly shitty. If Prime Melo (Knicks) had a good team he would’ve been considered one of the goats. This shows that NBA is very situational. A lot of players never have a chance to contend cuz they have shitty teams. (Ex: T-Mac, KG (wolves), A.I., Boogie (Kings), Kemba (Charlotte), AD (Pelicans), Devin Booker (Suns))

[@robsmith6650]

bensoflyyy Knicks Melo was a bully too. Melo played bully ball till like 2015 cuz later he had knee surgeries which slowed him physically and he started relying on his jump shot more. Melo hasn’t been athletic since like 07 cuz he had knee surgeries back then too.

Kmart was also never the same after he had micro fracture surgery on both of his knees just saying there is a reason he is the only player in nba history to continue playing after having it in both knees if melo had a healthy Kmart they don’t lose to the lakers those games essentially come down to bad inbound passes by the nuggets
