I always saw Melo to Lebron what Dominique Wilkins was to Jordan. What separates Jordan and Kobe (to a lesser degree) from Melo is they understood utilizing teammates and playing defense. Team USA Melo was the best version of him because he did all the little things he refused to do as a leader on his teams in his prime. Portland and Laker Melo was cool because he seemed to finally get team first concept and veteran leadership. He should've been Memphis's vet.

I always though Melo could have averaged a triple double years before Russ did. He had the rebounding and scoring, all he had to do was pass a little more, especially when double teamed. But Melo has always been about Melo. Instead of going to the Knicks in free agency, he forced his hand to be traded in a deal that saw the Knicks give up some good young talent that could have helped him win. I also think not being drafted by Detroit stunted his growth. If he had been drafted by that team full of veterans with on court and off court experience they could share with him as guidance, he may have realized that team success is what wins championships.

Great video. But I don’t see how stunt #1 isn’t being drafted by the Detroit Pistons where there was a prime Chauncey Billups who he saw his best success with and a veteran team.

Agree with a lot. 1 of his problems was being compared to LeBron, KD, too. My pops put me on game during the trio's primes last decade that since Bron brings up the ball and sets up plays he's really a PG or point forward, and therefore not comparable to the other 2. I personally felt the Knicks had almost everything they needed to compete in Melo's time, which I know you disagree with. I'm reminded of the 70s Knicks who had a lot of talent but not every big name and only really needed to mesh and to play for each other, as they said, to win. That last part is what the Melo-era Knicks lacked. They had too many knuckleheads on that team, and again, as my dad said, "they quit on Mike Woodson". I cannot lie, though: I loved watching the Knicks, back then.

carmelo easily could of had triple doubles the way he commanded double teams. Especially in the Pinch Post I cant tell how many times 3 point shooters were open or back cuts. Melo was just selfish and didn't know how to incorporate his team.

Great talent. But never had the right team around him, nor mindset to lead a team to the chip. Imagine if Melo won a ring in NY. He'd be in goat conversations. Do you look at he and KD's career different, even though an argument can be made that Melo could've won with GS too!

When you don't get excited about playing defense the way you do about scoring AND you're getting all this money AND you're on teams where many move and think similar to you and your attitude about the game of basketball....a championship is likely never going to come to fruition.

What Melo needed coming into the league was veteran leadership that would hold him to a standard not give him the ball and get out of the way like he got in Denver. He should've been drafted by Detroit. That team would've made sure he achieved his potential. But he was spoiled in Denver and that was that. Melo is NOT TOP 75 ever.

0 ring Carmelo Anthony wasnt blacked balled that's just a narrative his fanboys use because none of 30 NBA teams want him Carmelo Anthony 44.7% fg would need like 3000 more shots then Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to pass him on all time scoring list lol Carmelo Anthony 0 rings, 0 finals appearances, 0 league mvps, 0 all NBA first team selections, 0 all defensive teams not a great player just a one dimensional volume scorer with a 44.7% fg Kareem 6 ring, 2 finals mvps, 6 league mvps way better player then Carmelo 0 ring, 0 finals mvps, 0 league mvp Dont compare Carmelo to Kareem You embarassing yourself

I don’t understand why Carmelo Anthony is not playing in the league. He is one of the greats that was drafted in the same year as LeBron James. I know he hasn’t won an NBA championship in his career like LeBron. Somebody in the NBA gotta sign him and let him play.
@kingrison1647 Жыл бұрын
Then you really dont understand basketball and just look at big names Carmelo Anthony almost 40 years old and plays no defense and doesnt make teammates better and 0 rings doesn't bring championship experience so that's why no NBA teams want him Lakers won championship 2020 and made playoffs 2021 and signed Carmelo Anthony and missed playoffs 2022 And stop comparing the two because LeBron is way better player then Carmelo

And wrong no NBA team has to sign Carmelo Anthony and let him play that's not in rule books his career is over and yall need to deal with it

I get it…he can’t always be a one-man show. He may be a future Hall of Famer, but he gotten too old and was at the end of his career. He finally retired after sitting out for the entire 2022-23 season. He only played 19 seasons with the Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Portland Trailblazers and Los Angeles Lakers. Well, he only cares about scoring rather than being a team player and wasn’t a championship contender.

Despite the Lakers still in the playoffs, they should’ve kept Melo to make life easier for Russ, instead of having Malik Monk. Last season’s team could’ve worked had it not been for poor GM decisions.
