He’s not mobile enough (on offense or defense). Players don’t fear his hesitation moves anymore and he gets no lift on his jump shots and layups. All of these detriments can be overlooked if he had a high iq and was a good passer but he isn’t that either. Just look at wade, he’s been washed physically since age 32 but his IQ, conditioning and ability to play point gave him an extended career in the league. Time for melo to retire

[@MissMacyyy]

It's really the loss of his rapid first step that makes his iso-game terrible. No point in hesitation moves if you can't get by anyone. No point getting by anyone if your shot gets rejected due to lack of explosion/lift. What ends up happening is Melo just chucks a contested shot that almost never goes in anymore lol

How can u be washed physically but have good conditioning? Both require physicality. Idk i think DWade shoulda retired 2 years ago. As for melo? He didnt do anything for my Knicks.

@Shabaka Smkss They we're trying to be cheap. The new owner doesn't want to pay the luxury tax. I guess no one told him to have a Finals level team in the NBA you have to go into the tax. Also they paid Chris Paul way to much for his age and injury history.

[@TheBamfinator]

@@carboy101 The owner and GM both went out of their way during the preseason to say that they were ready to go into the luxury for the right piece(why they pushed so hard for Butler during his whole debacle). Basically paying Melo a vet min. was a gamble that had to be taken considering who's actually out there and available at his position. Also to be fair, Melo played significantly better than the last guy we had at his position(Ryan Anderson).

Melo being voted teammate of the year in 2017 is fables The media is always right!!! they never made up narrative in history ever before!!! I'm tired of this scrub Melo never getting criticized by former players or current players.. and it is all because they're all scared of him!! He been the Mike Tyson of the league on the low since 03...But bump that they need to step up to this scrub and tell him that the critics who never played professionally were right, and the professionals are all wrong about him being underappreciated and having no help

[@unlimitedbaskets1240]

Alot of People fail to realize this , melo isn't a catch and shoot type of guy , that's not his game, last season he shot only 694 2 point feild goals , in 2015 he shot 627 , but here's the thing he missed 42 games that season . So there's the problem, he's playing a role that isn't him , well trying to play a role, his Efg is up to par with his prime years , mid-range % is great . And he's the 5th best scorer in Houston. People like to bring up defense but we all know In this leauge that's becoming a waste of time due to teams ability to score now . If teams let melo be melo ha wouldn't be going through this . He avg 17 ppg on 47% shooting the 6 games before the okc one .

[@unlimitedbaskets1240]

@bojo perez I believe that. That's why I don't understand why they are cutting him . This is starting to look like the Iverson situation. Media damaging his name , fans that hate researching going along with it , teams not picking him up , he's being forced out the NBA

[@unlimitedbaskets1240]

@bojo perez and Houston is like 25-30th in almost every team statistic. They are playing terrible as a whole but yet , melo is the only one getting blamed for it 😔 doing him dirty.

[@giannis1089]

i think why he was cut off is because of the relation between him and mike dantoni and jeff bzdelik. they were all ex coaches and had some trouble with him. why eric gordon isnt cut off? this season he is very awful. thats why i think there has to be something more than melo's bad performance

[@ra6765]

He might still earn a spot if he works on other skills not just turning ur body around, fake left/right, dribble once then shoot. Probably work on his defense a little and getting a little bit of athleticism to keep up with the offense. He can still do these at his current age. Sad that he gets all the blame and hate for only playing terribly for 2 seasons and people forgetting his prime/earlier seasons just like that

[@NameThatNobodyTakes]

Dare I say it but Igoudala Finals MVP > Melo putting up big numbers on mediocre to terrible efficiency while playing on terrible teams for half of his career.

[@user-nm4zv3hy2e]

dude just chill with the efficiency shit, Look at allen iverson, his efficiency is GARBAGE, shooting sub 40% FG. low 30% to high 20% 3 points on MASSIVE SHOT ATTEMPTS. yet, people still consider allen Iverson one of the greatest of all time. Truth is, Melo is much more efficient than A.I.

[@user-nm4zv3hy2e]

@Random Guy2000 Don't put harden in there man, Harden had a true shooting percentage of 61.9% in 2017-2018 season and Lebron and Kd both had about 1-2% more. Harden is very efficient already. do you think Kyrie irving was efficient? kyrie had 61% which is below harden and Klay Thompson had 59% true shooting while being called top 5 best shooter of all time. By the way Giannis Antetokoumpo had 59.8 and he is super efficient. And yes WestBrook is horrible sitting at 52.4%

[@nmarbletoe8210]

[@tribj001]

Literally zero defence, even with a coach that wants to play him 15 mins and using him only in post ups and pick and pops he is such a defensive liability he will still hurt the team. He’s done. He has to retire. Being such a liability on defence is also why I am concerned that LeBron will not play till 39/40 like people think he will. I think after this 4 year lakers contract LeBron will retire because his defence will be so embarrassing it will stain his legacy...he’s kind of close to being that bad defensively already...

[@Goatlific]

There's a difference between not being able 2 play defense and not trying on defense. LBJ will be fine

[@cuyes1223]

Doubt it, like @Prolific said LBJ saves his defense for the playoffs and key moments, plus Bron's game is multidimensional to compare it with Melo's. Bron's bball IQ is too high to not make further adjustments to his game as his career comes to a close, something Melo has refused to do and what's gotten him into the mess he's in right now

[@kweefsweat5628]

Melo look like the old man at the park playing defense 😂😂😂

[@oakland2425]

How can Melo be a role player when his defense is so bad? If you just want someone to move the ball and shoot open threes, there are better shooters who also play better defense than Melo.

[@tribalypredisposed]

Oak Land, yes, and many of them are playing in the G League right now. Which is why it is time for Melo to retire,

Vince Carter has changed his game drastically, that's why he's been able to stay in this league for so long. He was able to change the staple playstyle that won him so many fans without letting his pride get in the way. I believe Melo's problem is that he is just too prideful and afraid to admit to himself that he just isn't what he used to be.

[@FilipoSooaUlufale]

@Eloheem DaGod : I think it's because the real bums are the ones who act triggered over today's version of Carmelo Anthony, and want him to be something he's not. Melo ain't meant to be a 3PT shooter, he's meant to be an ISO baller.

[@eloheemdagod5432]

Filipo Sooa 💯💯💯💯💯 everybody a critic but acting like they can do better

[@FilipoSooaUlufale]

@@eloheemdagod5432 Exactly. Carmelo Anthony had 13.4 points and 5.4 rebounds to go with 2.1 threes, not bad for a newly converted reserve who was a starter virtually his entire NBA career since 2003, starting only 2 out of 10 games for Houston and clocking at 29 minutes per game. That might not be up to the standards of Prime Melo, but still better than what Ryan Anderson provided in his last season with Houston and what he's providing for Phoenix now.

[@eloheemdagod5432]

Filipo Sooa his numbers are good ,it’s just the nba is now played by analysts ,iso ball is dead to a point where they don’t run plays for it, the league turned into Golden State Warriors offensive, a team like the spurs will fit Melo good they still play all around basketball, it’s up to melo now to put himself where his skill will needed instead of trying to change his game💯💯

Melo burned all bridges in NY. There are so so many reasons why I don’t see them bringing him back. This video alone proves it.

[@BrisasDelCampo888]

mikedemo Yes Perhaps Being Paid As Much As He Was, But Cheap Í Bet The Bridge Can Be Rebuild. The Only Problem Would Be Melo Because I Doubt That He Will Accept Anything Cheap. IF Melo Did Accept A Cheap Signing To The NY Knicks We Would Definitely Be In Contention For The Eastern Conference Championship. Dreaming Is Not Always A Bad Thing. Hey! Anything Could Happen. We Never Know The Spins That The World Takes. Lol. We Must Dream And Perhaps Believe. Melo And KP Again Could Really Happen One More Time. IF There Is A Will There Is A Way. Believing Is All It Takes. Perhaps Even Without Melo The NY Knicks Can Surprise The World And Like 1999 Reach The NBA Finals. Basically The Same Circumstances Are Happening More Or Less. CHAMPIONSHIP Believes Do The Rest Of NY?
