It's not about age, it's about ability. If Melo had been playing like he was Michael or even Kobe... he never would've been traded from ANY of the teams he was on. How many rings does ANY of those guys that he played with have?

@@tylercanton3836Past performance isn’t indicative of future performance. Also, he was an All Star as the main option on offense, which hindered teams from becoming great. I like Melo’s game, but it’s isolation scoring from the mid range, not really efficient and limits ball movement. So if he wants to be on a good team, he’ll have to sacrifice being the man to achieve team success.
@@joemoneymondays he's definitely not tripping. At that point in his career, specifically with that team where you already have an inefficient iso player like Russ, coming off the bench was the best option for him. It would've allowed him to play his game without having to change much, he would've still gotten starter level minutes and it would've been mostly against backups who he could absolutely cook. PG and Melo play the same position and PG was just a better option at that point. More versatile, efficient and he didn't always need the ball in his hands to be effective. Melo's ego just couldn't handle it and that's why he was kinda pushed to the side.

@@bowlensage2038I’m not talking about true shooter percent I’m talking abt efficiency, of course he was an above average shooter at the time, 44% from the field with the same amount of turnovers as assists in an era where mid range and paint were still the main ways to go, is not effective for the time, he woulda fit in more if his prime was in the modern day ERA, cause players like James harden get the pass due to high TS percentage, but that doesn’t measure efficiency, James harden is also not efficient
@Yamommasblubber he shot the ball a lot and it when in at a good rate. That is being efficient at the game of basketball. Only reason his fg% wasn't super high was the amount of 3's he took, which went down at 38 percent. Still a good percentage from 3 but naturally when you take a lot of 3's your fg% looks worse

Remember when a reporter asked him if he was willing to come off the bench? He was laughing and swore he it'll never happen. 2 weeks later he was coming off the bench and the team was winning more games. He wasn't happy one bit lol
I don’t see how he’s not getting flack for his victim mentality Dude acts like he wasn’t in control or something, Melo is entitled you can tell He thinks his prior success means he should be handed opportunities even at the expense of the team If Melo was helping teams win he would’ve stayed a starter and wouldn’t have struggled to get signed
melo will go to his grave never realizing that HE WAS the problem everywhere... you can't win at the highest level being this much NOT a team player, it just doesn't work
@@terze2226 there can be more than one problem... i don't even know how you're trying to defend, melo is team cancer PERIOD.... how many more players than played with him need to tell you that he would be upset if he scored like 19 but the team won after the game and he'd be happy if he scored 35 but the team lost..... there are his ex teammates that are making these statements do you want that kind of mentality on YOUR team?... be honest
The thing is, Melo could shoot so he could easily just play off ball as a solid catch & shooter. But, he wanted the ball to iso like he was used to. He needed to except he wasn’t top dog & transition to a Ray Allen type role. Would of had a better career in his later years that way imo
He was literally stuck in a corner and wouldn’t get the ball for whole quarters when he was playing iso ball he was averaging 22 a game for okc when they stuck him a corner later on in the year he was averaging 14 because he would barely get touches
the main lesson would have been to realize that he was out of his prime, and a selfish player who jacks up bad shots while at the same time not playing much defense..... Phil, as well as several of the other players were tiered of Melo in NY as they continued to underperform and Never make deep enough playoff runs. He clearly wasn't gonna b the guy to get the into the finals, let alone win a ring.... you can't blame Phil for realizing it was time to cut ties and move on. 🤷♂️
They could take his brain now, put it back in his 22 year old body and his career would play out the same exact way and he still wouldn't take accountability.
Melo and cam newton just reminds me of the same mindset with there careers thinking there still prime time players but nobody wants them and they can’t see why
What people dont realize if Roberson would've never suffered that awkward knee injury. This team was heavily favored to win. Roberson was an anchor on defense
Coming out of college, Melo was the guy I was looking forward to seeing DOMINATE the NBA. He had a decent start, but became a black hole after his rookie season.
Well also with the blazers, he was in better condition than he was in okc. A little more slim, he was moving quicker and elevating on his jumper better. Comparatively in okc, he was more sluggish and not getting up as much for his shot
I’d say it was jerami grant in the playoffs but it’s interchangeable between melo and Steven Adams for the regular season , Steven Adams had his career high that season and melo was just decent averaging 16
@@okcthunder0872 na Jeremy wasn't even the 4th option during the playoffs he averaged 7ppg an 3 rpg. Steven was number 3 for both reg and playoffs. He shot the best fg% was the defensive anchor and was a massive orb threat. Jeremy came alive the year Carmelo left and was still under steven
Bro was putting up 22 a game the year before to now cing off the bench, ts crazy fr. Then the situation in Houston really let me know what timing the nba was on because I've never seen anything like it.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 NIV. God bless, turn to Jesus.
Bad comparison homie. Katt is the boss of his comedic career. Also Katt knows exactly who the frauds are around him and exposed them while still being in a boss position. Last but not least Katt is on high demand as must watch tv. Melo was on the decline and seemed to be at one point begging for a spot on a team. Jail and Prison not the same thing Katt voice
I truly believe his downfall was leaving Danver. He had a great supporting cast around him. When Kobe knocked him out in the 2009 WCF (I think it was that year), he was never the same. He took the money from New York and ran. They gutted almost half of the team to get him in New York. The funny thing is if he'd have waited a year or two, he would've had another opportunity in Denver in 2011, with Kobe being knocked out in the first round. Sometimes, the grass is not greener on the other side. Sometimes, it's ok to stay put. And now, Carmelo is on this "bitter old man gripe tour," talking to anyone who will listen.
Maybe a hot take, but I firmly believe Melo's best chance at a ring was under Mike D'Antoni, with Shump, Chandler, Amari, and J Lin. If he put his ego down and he listened to D'Antoni and let Lin run the offense, they could have been a high powered Suns offense 2.0. He blew it.
He’s 1 of the reasons why I respect lebron so much I never understood how lebron gets so much hate but people love shot chucking no defense playing Melo
People love Melo? People think about Lamelo when they hear the name Melo. Not Carmelo. Carmelo is old news and brings his team down wherever he plays. Shot chucker, overly iso player. He is the Trae Young before Trae Young.
Just saying for arguments sake: Maybe Phil pushed you out because he worked with greatness and realized you wasn’t it. Similar to how coach of the Nuggets said he was overrated. For arguments sake
I remember when Carmelo was at OKC he was constantly saying “Im not coming off the bench”. However, at the end of his career, he realized he couldn’t let his ego get to him because at the time, no team wanted him as a starter.
Bruh it means take a back seat. Melo is a great player but Chauncey was right melo only cared about his numbers even if the team won didn’t matter he wanted points
I loved Melo's prime. He was in the top 5 scorers in the league for many seasons. But he was always a defensive slouch and an attitude problem. He had squads in New York and Denver that were easily good enough to make a deep playoff run. Ultimately, having your top player not have the leadership skills and two-way play required to do it was too much for those teams to overcome. Now he is acting like a little bitch complaining in the media because he knows his career didn't amount to much. Melo it isn't everyone else's problem. It wasn't everyone else's fault. And your attitude right now is exactly why you never won anything. Just accept your career for what it was. You were a great scorer who never won.
Yeah because he never actually had any consistent help like other players bron had d wade Kyrie bosh Anthony Davis then Kobe had Shaq then Paul gasol and great roll players he didn't have that even James harden had Chris Paul Russel Westbrook Paul George lmao shut up man he didn't win because no one built a good enough team for him
@@rumba6110No it’s no reason maybe it’s just y’all are upset with the fact of him telling his side. Melo never complained nor did he run away from accountability like guys like KD, and Lebron and for some reason why y’all still have issues with the man.
I know a Lotta hoop heads don't care but Melo got a college national championship and then had a successful career in the league, there's really not a lot of those
Unless you’re Michael Jordan who can tear up defenses, Melo was passed his prime and was inefficient one on one player. He got his numbers but the 🏀 was stuck so much. The ball sticks, and never moved which makes it easier to have defenses key in on you. Plus Phil believed in team play, melo was an individual player who never really made a lot of effort into making his teammates better.
Its because he never evolved his game. He was an iso scorer when he started, he was an iso scorer when he quit. Could shoot, from 3 relatively well. The game moved away from iso ball and he never got the message.
Carmelo Anthony...A classic case of very limited self awareness. Didn't realize the privilege he had of playing pro basketball! Selfishness did him in.

Very forgettable season. Crazy how they did more with an aging CP3, young SGA, and Dennis Schroder than with 3 HOFers
He didn’t do anything there so makes sense
Melo always telling us why he was never that dude. But he's a nice guy tho 🫠
He’s not a nice guy, ego is through the roof.
Remember when a reporter asked him if he was willing to come off the bench? He was laughing and swore he it'll never happen. 2 weeks later he was coming off the bench and the team was winning more games. He wasn't happy one bit lol
I don’t see how he’s not getting flack for his victim mentality
Dude acts like he wasn’t in control or something, Melo is entitled you can tell
He thinks his prior success means he should be handed opportunities even at the expense of the team
If Melo was helping teams win he would’ve stayed a starter and wouldn’t have struggled to get signed
lol that was in training camp and melo never came off the bench once in okc lol know what you're talking about
@@ceezydion3900facts lol. He’s wrong.
@@DTinae-fc5rl doesn’t matter Melo wasn’t good and wasn’t helping anyone win games after 2013
Yall just make shit up lmaooo
Melo doesn't mention his atrocious defense, selfishness, inflated ego, and poor leadership 🤔
melo will go to his grave never realizing that HE WAS the problem everywhere... you can't win at the highest level being this much NOT a team player, it just doesn't work
Westbrick
Not in Denver they coach was the problem on nuggets
@@terze2226 there can be more than one problem...
i don't even know how you're trying to defend, melo is team cancer PERIOD.... how many more players than played with him need to tell you that he would be upset if he scored like 19 but the team won after the game and he'd be happy if he scored 35 but the team lost..... there are his ex teammates that are making these statements
do you want that kind of mentality on YOUR team?... be honest
The thing is, Melo could shoot so he could easily just play off ball as a solid catch & shooter. But, he wanted the ball to iso like he was used to. He needed to except he wasn’t top dog & transition to a Ray Allen type role. Would of had a better career in his later years that way imo
He was literally stuck in a corner and wouldn’t get the ball for whole quarters when he was playing iso ball he was averaging 22 a game for okc when they stuck him a corner later on in the year he was averaging 14 because he would barely get touches
I wish he was still playing. He still has a couple of good years left in him.
It’s weird that Melo didn’t learn from AI - he went through the exact same thing, Melo should h e seen it happening to him.
They could’ve told Melo exactly what was happening and he wouldn’ve refused to see it
The guy is delusional
THIS
the main lesson would have been to realize that he was out of his prime, and a selfish player who jacks up bad shots while at the same time not playing much defense..... Phil, as well as several of the other players were tiered of Melo in NY as they continued to underperform and Never make deep enough playoff runs.
He clearly wasn't gonna b the guy to get the into the finals, let alone win a ring....
you can't blame Phil for realizing it was time to cut ties and move on. 🤷♂️
They could take his brain now, put it back in his 22 year old body and his career would play out the same exact way and he still wouldn't take accountability.
Melo and cam newton just reminds me of the same mindset with there careers thinking there still prime time players but nobody wants them and they can’t see why
It Is Now Safe To Say Carmelo Anthony Was Overrated. 0 MVPs 0 Rings 0 1 Seed Teams And 20 Players From The 2010s/2020s Are Better Than Him
What people dont realize if Roberson would've never suffered that awkward knee injury. This team was heavily favored to win. Roberson was an anchor on defense
Coming out of college, Melo was the guy I was looking forward to seeing DOMINATE the NBA. He had a decent start, but became a black hole after his rookie season.
chill. made the playoffs in new york. never had a well enough system to overcome competition..
Carmelo stop being upset it wasn’t your time anymore this is why he never won a ring cause he’s selfish and he doesn’t even realize it🤦🏼♂️
Yeah 4th option was where you should have been and you didn’t accept it
Facts. If he stayed being a 4th option that can score efficiently, he will have a way longer career and might resurgent himself into something else
Melo always seemed like the guy who didn’t care if he loss as long as he dropped 40
Blazers Melo underrated
If he played that way in okc or Houston they would've been a problem but his mind set was different
Different system
Thank you.. ppl just hating
Well also with the blazers, he was in better condition than he was in okc. A little more slim, he was moving quicker and elevating on his jumper better. Comparatively in okc, he was more sluggish and not getting up as much for his shot
Verhb
It took Russ years to realize it was time for him to step back a little, Melo still thinks he’s in his prime and won’t hear any different.
Dope beat wit da video its fits melo
All Eyes on Me
Melo is underrated the way you guys talk about him is crazy
U realize he's talking right.
Melo speak the facts!!!!!!
I remember when this trade happened, so many comments were saying the Russ-PG13-Melo superteam was going to overthrow the KD Warriors superteam. 😂
Phil was already gone when the trade finally happened.
Carmelo is never happy when his own team starts winning 😅
Then who was the 3rd? Jeremy Grant?
I would say Steven Addams. Big kiwi was Russell's pick n roll game
Steven Adams because he was the defensive anchor and was a perfect fit for Russ because of o boards
I’d say it was jerami grant in the playoffs but it’s interchangeable between melo and Steven Adams for the regular season , Steven Adams had his career high that season and melo was just decent averaging 16
@@okcthunder0872 na Jeremy wasn't even the 4th option during the playoffs he averaged 7ppg an 3 rpg. Steven was number 3 for both reg and playoffs. He shot the best fg% was the defensive anchor and was a massive orb threat. Jeremy came alive the year Carmelo left and was still under steven
Melo relied too much on his talent. He didn’t wanna put in the same work Wade and Bron did.
I woulda loved to see this OKC team win a chip right after what KD did to them
In yours and Melos dreams lol
@@mgene8093 yeah because KD ruined the game with the weakest move in sports history
Bro was putting up 22 a game the year before to now cing off the bench, ts crazy fr. Then the situation in Houston really let me know what timing the nba was on because I've never seen anything like it.
He a 🤡

Hes like the katt Williams of basketball
"Its everyone elses fault"
Bad comparison homie. Katt is the boss of his comedic career. Also Katt knows exactly who the frauds are around him and exposed them while still being in a boss position. Last but not least Katt is on high demand as must watch tv. Melo was on the decline and seemed to be at one point begging for a spot on a team. Jail and Prison not the same thing Katt voice

Perfect example! Smart people can see through Crack Williams
I truly believe his downfall was leaving Danver. He had a great supporting cast around him. When Kobe knocked him out in the 2009 WCF (I think it was that year), he was never the same. He took the money from New York and ran. They gutted almost half of the team to get him in New York. The funny thing is if he'd have waited a year or two, he would've had another opportunity in Denver in 2011, with Kobe being knocked out in the first round. Sometimes, the grass is not greener on the other side. Sometimes, it's ok to stay put. And now, Carmelo is on this "bitter old man gripe tour," talking to anyone who will listen.
Still An All Time Great, 1 Of the most potent offensive players to ever play the game of Basketball 🏀.
U not lying
Shot chucker thats it
He was a bucket but also famously inefficient
Russ WAS THE SYSTEM in OKC 😂 Dont feel bad melo 😂😂
The moment he left Denver, his prime was over
12-13 was probably his best season, and that was on the knicks
Maybe a hot take, but I firmly believe Melo's best chance at a ring was under Mike D'Antoni, with Shump, Chandler, Amari, and J Lin. If he put his ego down and he listened to D'Antoni and let Lin run the offense, they could have been a high powered Suns offense 2.0. He blew it.
Bro still can't recognize that HE was the problem
Got pushed out cause you went from scoring title to 21ppg, kinda like your minutes in OKC😂
First few games in okc melo was the best player on the Team. Look up the stats melo was great!
At what point do you think HEY....this might be a me problem.
He’s 1 of the reasons why I respect lebron so much I never understood how lebron gets so much hate but people love shot chucking no defense playing Melo
people just think having an offensive bag means you're great
See (not above) top 50 all time player Kevin Durant@@be4unvme
People love Melo? People think about Lamelo when they hear the name Melo. Not Carmelo. Carmelo is old news and brings his team down wherever he plays. Shot chucker, overly iso player.
He is the Trae Young before Trae Young.
@@muhammadshafeeqbinishak789 bro you’re like eleven you don’t know ball
@@muhammadshafeeqbinishak789 i think that’s an age difference bro. And they weren’t even playing in the same time so that’s weird to say.

Just saying for arguments sake:
Maybe Phil pushed you out because he worked with greatness and realized you wasn’t it. Similar to how coach of the Nuggets said he was overrated. For arguments sake
they realized bumelo is a bum💀
I stand on this if Andre Robertson doesn’t get hurt that thunder team wins a championship
Phil Jackson literally ruined everything!! He wanted to run the slow ass triangle in the modern era with Derrick Rose on your team! Lmaooo
I remember when Carmelo was at OKC he was constantly saying “Im not coming off the bench”. However, at the end of his career, he realized he couldn’t let his ego get to him because at the time, no team wanted him as a starter.
Should've went to Charlotte with Kemba you would've been option 2 and sometimes 1. Kemba was averaging 26-30 a night
Melo should be a 3rd options on that thunder team but it wasn't no plays being call only iso...
Bruh it means take a back seat. Melo is a great player but Chauncey was right melo only cared about his numbers even if the team won didn’t matter he wanted points
Melo was never a Superstar he was just a skilled player a Superstar is a player who can lead their team to a championship and win it
I loved Melo's prime. He was in the top 5 scorers in the league for many seasons.
But he was always a defensive slouch and an attitude problem. He had squads in New York and Denver that were easily good enough to make a deep playoff run. Ultimately, having your top player not have the leadership skills and two-way play required to do it was too much for those teams to overcome.
Now he is acting like a little bitch complaining in the media because he knows his career didn't amount to much.
Melo it isn't everyone else's problem. It wasn't everyone else's fault. And your attitude right now is exactly why you never won anything.
Just accept your career for what it was. You were a great scorer who never won.
Shut up
Yeah because he never actually had any consistent help like other players bron had d wade Kyrie bosh Anthony Davis then Kobe had Shaq then Paul gasol and great roll players he didn't have that even James harden had Chris Paul Russel Westbrook Paul George lmao shut up man he didn't win because no one built a good enough team for him
@@rezinator6663maybe there's reasons why none of those guys ever wanted to join a Carmelo led team 🤔
@@rumba6110No it’s no reason maybe it’s just y’all are upset with the fact of him telling his side. Melo never complained nor did he run away from accountability like guys like KD, and Lebron and for some reason why y’all still have issues with the man.
He wasn’t even a great scorer. He was an overglofied role player
If Carmelo hit the gym hard.. he would’ve been better than Lebron.
You didnt pass genius. Bad shots arent the formula for a chip. I dont care how many 1 on 1s you won
he was past it, Phil got what he could for him
I know a Lotta hoop heads don't care but Melo got a college national championship and then had a successful career in the league, there's really not a lot of those
Unless you’re Michael Jordan who can tear up defenses, Melo was passed his prime and was inefficient one on one player. He got his numbers but the 🏀 was stuck so much. The ball sticks, and never moved which makes it easier to have defenses key in on you. Plus Phil believed in team play, melo was an individual player who never really made a lot of effort into making his teammates better.
As a Knicks fan, Melo’s story is nothing but tragic
This is what happens when you have marshmelos for brains 😂😂😂
Its because he never evolved his game. He was an iso scorer when he started, he was an iso scorer when he quit. Could shoot, from 3 relatively well. The game moved away from iso ball and he never got the message.
His enormous ego doesn't let him realize he's not the second coming of MJ.
Melo still doesn't know the real problem.
Hunh. Almost like the two situations have something in common.
Legacy was tarnished the moment he bitched about his jersey no.
Carmelo Anthony...A classic case of very limited self awareness. Didn't realize the privilege he had of playing pro basketball! Selfishness did him in.
Yes and yes
U shoulda adapted your game and became a good role player, but all you ever wanted to do was be a ball hog
He always thought it was All about him....
Wrong, it's about the team.
