Stephen A. is a tv personality, radio host, journalist, pre/post game guy, announcer, commentator, sideline reporter for ESPN. And now he’s a booking agent as well
His biggest mistake was going to the Knicks for the ENTIRE prime of his career. You don't want to be with a dysfunctional organization for that long in those years.
I mean who would've known Amar'e would become injury riddle and overpaid and no 3rd star would go to them. With that being said Knicks are way more dysfunctional now than they were when they first acquired melo. They had a vision
Are you serious? Melo was on the final year in 18-19 of a 28+ million contract plus whatever endorsement deals were still coming his way and whatever he got in 18-19 from a couple of failed NBA stints. Melo can head overseas and earn still a specular living, his 28 million in one year, compares to US median income of $40,000 dollars a year and pulled out over a lifetime, tells us he earned 15 or 16 times more in year 18-19, than an average American earns over a life time. And, thats omitting his prior earnings over his NBA career. Melo is stubborn and arrogant because basketball is today played all over the world. Melo just can't comprehend he might have to do like Marbury and go overseas. When I watched 4 time champ Overseas Elite win its 29th game, with many ex-NBA stars, some trying to work their way back to NBA---there I see humbled men. Melo is just scared and desperate and realizing that fraternity he once belonged, doesnt want his Ass anymore. He's got 99 problems, but faking humbleness aint gonna solve 1. If he loves basketball he will go anywhere to play or take his old ass to a business broker buy some shopping malls and cruise into retirement.
We all as men go through stuff like this, but obviously not on a stage like a millionaire athlete but we all as men have emotional battles and how not to allow it to turn into rage or out of check. It's hard being talked about in Melo's case and being the type of person to be quiet about it. That ego affects us all.
Carmelo 13 ppg and 40% fg and 32% 3pt with Rockets stop lying on his stats he was horrible on defense and couldnt catch and shoot and wasnt a fit in Rockets offense
Vince took his spot on the bench when he should have. Melo fought it. And now the perception is that he won't accept a bench role and nobody wants to give him a shot. All about perception.
Why don't the spurs pick him up so they can mid-range teams to death with Derozan and Lemarcus Aldridge lmao. That cheese almost eliminated my Nuggets last year.
Hope2BeDope Entertainment Mid Range is so slept on now days. Guys like Melo, D-Wade, KD, Kobe, MJ, Aldridge, Derozen all specialize in the Midrange rather its a post fadeaway, pull up, or just a normal jumper. That’s truly a lost thing in today’s game.
@@LLE08071635 yup if you listen to Chronicles of juhad 144 he said the only reason why melo wanted to go to NY so much was because of his wifes la la acting career but it was a waste he should have went to heat or bulls
Disrespected af...he’s not in his prime no more but he’s still better than the whole Hornets roster and able to average a solid 14-15 ppg One of the most skilled scorer ever to be pushed out the league like this...smh this is sad
You gotta understand, if your team sucks why would you pick him up. He'll take away minutes from younger players who need development, and also take away shot attempts as well. And he isn't good enough to give your team wins so whats the point of having him.
“I felt like I loved the game more than it loved me” How he’s feeling is how tens of thousands of players (maybe more) feel not making it to the next level in their careers.
Man im a Hornet's fan... I know for a fact Carmelo can probably beat our whole team by himself. Ain't no way you gonna convince me Bismack frigging Biyombo can land a job but Melo can't...
It’s because Pau Gasol is white and Carmelo is black. White privilege is still prevalent in the NBA. Remember, black athletes just only started getting recognized in the NBA by league dominated by white athletes.
Kenji Stanback going from great to mediocre is a tough pill to swallow. Hopefully he gets picked up as a role player I think he’s still got a lot to offer
Melo like a lot of Black athletes got swallowed up by the White power players in the NBA who made him out to be a cast-off, aloof, a guy who wasn't a team player and a guy who doesn't like playing defense. He'a also been dealing with a lot in his personal life in regard to his marriage so that plays a role on one's mind too.
Yes he did. He’s gonna use this as in his negotiation with new teams that he went publicly to admit his faults , that he’s “humble” now. PR stunt. Most overrated nba player of the current generation.
maybe they got issue on him as a team player because if shooting basis he definitely still contribute. billups might right. hungrier to score than to win
We need more segments like this y'all. W/Stephen A. 1 on 1. Truly one of the biggest reasons why I tune into ESPN. Brotha is carrying them essentially. Salute to Melo
Black Mamba34 melo is going to be a laker kawhi said he was going to be a laker he said no to clippers and he joined so they could be doing the same with melo
30 teams know Carmelo is available. No one is calling. He makes you slower and worse - and toss in the ME attitude and he's not worth it . All teams know that now.

I actually feel bad for him. He's an amazing scorer, it just so happens that the game has changed, and those mid range shots have become less effective. Y'all have got to see Ryan Hollins saying dumb stuff for 10 minutes straight! on my channel.
He did but he was highly inefficient scoring more than some of the starters. Keep in mind his lack of defense made him a liability. Score 15 but give up 20.... NBA GMs: PASS!
He put up points but no defense few rebounds and let not even mention assists. He was a black whole ball went didn't come back regardless if he scored or even took a good shot
Fr max is one of the lowest iq individuals in sports mediai still cand get over the year when he picked the pacers over the cavs in 6, then took the raps over cavs in 5 and took celtics over cavs in 5 and the cavs won in 7 4 and 5
This is so odd, its like a job interview. its sad that he feels like he needs to tell everybody the work he puts in jus so he can get a job. what the hell is going on?
Yeah, on top of the fact the work he puts in never changed his game at all his entire career. He's the same player he was coming out of Syracuse, just older and slower now.
This is what they sign up when they sign those contracts and when they get addicted to the money...I believe lala gettin alot of his check too lol so hes beggin them people to give him another chance...
He was a diva throughout his career, never played defense, and wanted himself to get the spotlight on the team. NOW, he's trying to come out as humble because nobody wants him. Playing professional sports is a privilege and he took it for granted. He was coached up by his agent to a rep to do this interview and pull this fake humbleness.
Swee when you put a postal stamp on a clock. Not many people know this, but clocks are one of two items in the US you can put a stamp on and ship as is without packaging.
Another melo head who thinks the NBA is about jacking up shots and no defense like a video game. Melo makes your team slower and worse defensively. You can't win in the NBA doing that nowadays. It's about wins ya know. Not PPG
Cousins took the minimum trying to show teams that he deserves a contract, will Melo do the same? One year minimum for the possibility of larger multi year, or just wait for what he consider to be his fair contract?
Significantly younger although melo has alot of money from DEN and NY its not a good look hes probably gonna be on his last contract even if its a one year might not even get one this year
Steven A defended melo everytime Max disrespected him... Melo asked to come on the show nd talk only to Steven A so get ya facts right Steven A always defended melo during this smh.
@@jasonplays123 Max told the truth about Carmelo that hes overrated and not good anymore so now telling the truth is hating😂 All Stephen A Smith did was make excuses for Carmelo Anthony who is a cancer which is why Knicks and then Thunder and Rockets got rid of him and he remains unsign since November
Jerry Dames even though Melos last recent seasons have all been underwhelming I wouldn’t call him a cancer he definitely has shortcomings but I still think he’s a plus to any team he’s own in the right role and rockets basically gave him the short end of the stick and to be honest okc did the same exact thing a whole season without him as they did with him lose disappointingly in the first round and the rockets also repeated what they are known for great regular season but always find a way to choke in the playoffs so melo may have been a problem on teams with numerous problems already
Melo always been humble. Idk why but the media has always painted him a different light especially when he was here in NY. They would interview him and purposely take his words out of context to make him look bad
*Mfs acting like Me7o was completely 🗑 these last 2 years..... He averaged 16 5 5, there's mfs who START & are waaay younger & STILL don't put those numbers up* 😡😠😤😩
The NBA is Black Balling Mello like how the NFL did Randy Moss and Terrell Owens. He can still take the Moss route and get a HOF induction, or take the Owens route and completely get his name removed from the books. Smfh
He took a step back in OKC, and took a major step back in Houston getting ready to come off the bench, but they still let him go. Meanwhile everybody knows that he can start for any team. This shit is crazy!
Took a step back? Here, let me fix that for you: now that he's old, the flaws in his flawed game became so obvious in OKC and Houston, even the front office people who didn't understand how one-dimensional he was finally did. There you go. All he's ever been is a scorer. A scorer who got his HOF stats while his team lost the game--many, many games, especially in the first round of the playoffs.
But he said he's training all the time. And when he was spotted on a boat with some female his body said something else, I think if he were truly dedicated to team mindset and winning nobody would doubt him and he'd be signed already
Moaz defensive liability and he is saying the right things about team first, but he hasnt shown it yet. And its hard to show it when no one wants to sign you. So then you look at the last 3 teams he was on, and he really didn’t do that. Thats at least how i see it
@@ygo5003 Rozier is not a good example to prove your point. Hes a 2 way player + hes young, and fitness isnt an issue. Rozier would get picked a million times over Melo right now
That's a no lose scenario. Gives Kyrie a chance to work with a ball dominant scorer and see how the fit is. Also helps to have a guy capable of making up some of the missing scoring punch.
Alex Smith agreed but I wouldn’t even call KD ball dominant. I don’t think he needs the ball in his hands to score. Working with Melo though would be great because it will help Kyrie more than anyone
I was thinking the same. Warriors need Melo, especially with Melo willingly to accept the role of a bench player or like every Warriors fan know, the second string.
@@paulbradley6077 only place he can possibly go if warriors man up and pick him up. Warriors with one of the best coaching right now, Steve Kerr, Melo may even see the starting role/spot coming off the bench.
Nah he don’t need to play with LeBron at all. LeBron is always trying to tell another man how to play the game instead of letting them have their own style
How is he keeping it real when he is putting all the blame to others and clearly shows he didn't want to accept any other role than being in the main starting line up? Just cause he is talking calmly and kindly , doesnt mean he is saying his real feelings
Golden state should sign him. They play good basketball and Curry and Dlo and Draymond could set him perfect AND they are kind of lack in the scoring forward category.
I've been saying this for weeks. Warriors need scoring off the bench badly. Their bench now is filled with dudes who could never crack an NBA rotation consistently much less help a team win. He could work there as a 15-20 min scorer against teams' 2nd units.
Carmelo , Aaron Rodgers, and Lebron James these three gentlemen are the most scrutinized athletes ever. Melo has to look in the mirror and ask himself . Did i sacrifice my skills for my team? Do I play defense ? Do I hustle for the ball or do I want to just shoot my midrange jumper and get mine. Great player tho!
Melo, Jr Smith, Amare, and Jeremy Lin need to file with the league office to form their own team Called the “New Ny knicks” since the nba has given up on them
@@josephstevens228: This dude is balling 24/7 Summer league, Olympic Champion, All Star appearances. He probably be tired to play defense. I think Chris Paul needs help in OKC though.

Score 15 but give up 20....
NBA GMs: PASS!
Shooting 40% from the field. Anyone can do that just take more shots than the starters. You think PJ's there to score?
@@kingrobinho777 pj is the glue
23 ppg on 45.6% shooting the first month on the season in OKC, before they changed his roll....stop with the lies
He put up points but no defense few rebounds and let not even mention assists. He was a black whole ball went didn't come back regardless if he scored or even took a good shot
don't worry Melo, liangelo ball still aint got draft.
PEDROJELLO that’s tuff
Pedro u stupid
Wow dats tuff people talking down on my guy it’s he’ll make the nba one day
Lol
@RTA NEWS doesn't mean he's making it to the league
melo: they wasnt with with me when I was shooting in the gym!!!
espn: actually we have footage of pick up games. roll the clips
HAHAHAHAHAHA

Stephen A. should just do first take by himself, with Max or a guest on every now and then.

Sometimes we have to hit rock bottom to pick ourselves back up and shine. You still got plenty of game left Carmelo. Much Respect.

MELO:.. Comes off the bench in Houston...
Media and Dumb NBA fans: MELO didn't want to come off the bench.. That's why he don't have a contract..
Exactly. They dumb af
Most teams don't want him even if he does comes off the bench. The league is about speed and defense now. Melo can't guard anyone.
Ok then all these nba owners and teams are just idiots too?
Ppl talk. Owners talk. They know. Dumbs also talk. Like u
Tovey Chow no shit Jackie Chan
This is so odd, its like a job interview.
its sad that he feels like he needs to tell everybody the work he puts in jus so he can get a job. what the hell is going on?
Yeah, on top of the fact the work he puts in never changed his game at all his entire career. He's the same player he was coming out of Syracuse, just older and slower now.
This is what they sign up when they sign those contracts and when they get addicted to the money...I believe lala gettin alot of his check too lol so hes beggin them people to give him another chance...
He was a diva throughout his career, never played defense, and wanted himself to get the spotlight on the team. NOW, he's trying to come out as humble because nobody wants him. Playing professional sports is a privilege and he took it for granted. He was coached up by his agent to a rep to do this interview and pull this fake humbleness.
@@canttakeanymore we don't know how he's is now if hes not playing
he been selfish his whole career and now wonders why nobody wants him
Ion care what chall say melo fan since denver. Melo stop playin like melo when he ✂️ dem braids
The Carolina Native Jxan he had his best season 1st year he cut them tho
hey man that knicks game with the headband where he scored 60+ was pretty raw.
Only true fans remember how savagely he attacked the basket with braids
It was Lala...he basically gave her control of his career and it's been all down hill since
imagine saying ion
Whoever put the time stamp in the description deserves a raise. Just cause of that I watched the whole video
What’s a time stamp.. Whatchu mean
Swee when you put a postal stamp on a clock.
Not many people know this, but clocks are one of two items in the US you can put a stamp on and ship as is without packaging.
At this point next chance Melo get he needs to start cooking everybody!!!! on the court 💯 BEAST MODE
But that not what most coaches want. Melo is a Ball hog who just throws up shots.
Rose style!!!
He ain’t getting another chance /that’s the problem
This should be motivation to go hard
Another melo head who thinks the NBA is about jacking up shots and no defense like a video game. Melo makes your team slower and worse defensively. You can't win in the NBA doing that nowadays. It's about wins ya know. Not PPG
This man has been slandered so badly and I mostly blame Phil jackson for this
Gio facts I always said that
Why do u blame Phil Jackson
Phil Jackson is a genius, Melo was the main problem in NY
📢 Factz
@@nicholilewis703 cause he started all the slander on melo and making him look bad on the media
Cousins took the minimum trying to show teams that he deserves a contract, will Melo do the same? One year minimum for the possibility of larger multi year, or just wait for what he consider to be his fair contract?
Significantly younger although melo has alot of money from DEN and NY its not a good look hes probably gonna be on his last contract even if its a one year might not even get one this year
I hope after this clarification a team signs Carmelo. Definitely could score 15 off the bench on a nightly basis.
Steven A defended melo everytime Max disrespected him... Melo asked to come on the show nd talk only to Steven A so get ya facts right Steven A always defended melo during this smh.
@@jasonplays123
Max told the truth about Carmelo that hes overrated and not good anymore so now telling the truth is hating😂
All Stephen A Smith did was make excuses for Carmelo Anthony who is a cancer which is why Knicks and then Thunder and Rockets got rid of him and he remains unsign since November
Jerry Dames even though Melos last recent seasons have all been underwhelming I wouldn’t call him a cancer he definitely has shortcomings but I still think he’s a plus to any team he’s own in the right role and rockets basically gave him the short end of the stick and to be honest okc did the same exact thing a whole season without him as they did with him lose disappointingly in the first round and the rockets also repeated what they are known for great regular season but always find a way to choke in the playoffs so melo may have been a problem on teams with numerous problems already
I think that’s the point of this interview .. I hope so too
ClashWithSteve come on man he’s not trash
Damn man, Melo sound humble as hell here. I hope a contender picks dude up.
Melo always been humble. Idk why but the media has always painted him a different light especially when he was here in NY. They would interview him and purposely take his words out of context to make him look bad
*Mfs acting like Me7o was completely 🗑 these last 2 years..... He averaged 16 5 5, there's mfs who START & are waaay younger & STILL don't put those numbers up*
😡😠😤😩
Facts. See lonzo ball
Jay P lonzo is kind of underrated he’s a great playmaker and imo an elite defensive player
too many scrubs in NBA right now
why Melo doesn’t deserve a chance
Melo a scrub too tho
Because the scrubs are a lot cheaper than Melo.
The NBA is Black Balling Mello like how the NFL did Randy Moss and Terrell Owens. He can still take the Moss route and get a HOF induction, or take the Owens route and completely get his name removed from the books. Smfh
wayyyyy too late for that. Melo should have realized this about 4 years ago. Moss was a beast when he fixed his image.
Toronto Rap Critic melo is wack
TO is in the HOF
Raptors should sign melo
Black balled why?
He took a step back in OKC, and took a major step back in Houston getting ready to come off the bench, but they still let him go. Meanwhile everybody knows that he can start for any team. This shit is crazy!
Midrange jumpers are a big no no to Rockets so that's why he got cut
Took a step back? Here, let me fix that for you: now that he's old, the flaws in his flawed game became so obvious in OKC and Houston, even the front office people who didn't understand how one-dimensional he was finally did. There you go. All he's ever been is a scorer. A scorer who got his HOF stats while his team lost the game--many, many games, especially in the first round of the playoffs.
He should go to Denver and retire there, like KG did with Minny
David Kenseth hell no he will ruin all the chemistry there with all the young guys
Haroon Ahmed 😂
He will get 0 mins in Denver that roster is deep and young
He would be a good fit with the nuggets. The inexperienced nuggets did not have a close out guy against the blazers in game 7
Maybe Melo could humble MPJ a little bit
Heart to heart melo! Even if you be lying that ain't easy to sit in that chair and yap. RESPECT.
Fa sho that wasn't easy for me
you think he really isn't wiling to come off the bench now?
There''s definitely politics in the sport, there's no reason he shouldn't be playing!
Robert Gray - Duh! Why do you think Jabbar never got a coaching job?
@@grapas100 Or Ewing...he's blacklisted as a coach too
But he said he's training all the time. And when he was spotted on a boat with some female his body said something else, I think if he were truly dedicated to team mindset and winning nobody would doubt him and he'd be signed already
@@sharkman766 - It's a cryin' shame.
@MrRodpec - If the powers that be don't like you, you don't get a job, that politics.
Okc didn't work, because they needed a better coach 🤷🏾♂️

This dude can give you 15ppg off the bench STILL. TF WON'T ANYONE SIGN HIM?
Moaz defensive liability and he is saying the right things about team first, but he hasnt shown it yet. And its hard to show it when no one wants to sign you. So then you look at the last 3 teams he was on, and he really didn’t do that. Thats at least how i see it
The Warriors should sign him. Lol.
@@bryan_350_5 makes sense but still yk, sucks for him
Cause his defence and attitude isn't viewed as a good for team culture.

Ha! Jeremy Lin has a title now.

kingrobinho777 im surprise that you have a brain.. keep it up..lol
Melo seems to be a great fit for PHX or back to nyc no cap.
Big facts especially considering they won’t do much this year so he has freedom
Melo should have said. "Whoever picks me up, will have the deadliest 6th man on their roster".
Thank you . Idk how people dick ride what other people say nowadays so much .
He has to sell himself to get a roster spot. This interview plea is his last chance to get a last dance.
Lmao deadliest 6th man
saying that sounds as if he's going to iso the offense all over again...

easybreezy96boy defense 😔
What team?
Just by the Title and Thumbnail this is BOX OFFICE
Nets could sign Melo on a 1 yr deal put him at his natural position SF and see how he helps Kyrie and the young nets this season w/o KD
That's a good idea.
That's a no lose scenario. Gives Kyrie a chance to work with a ball dominant scorer and see how the fit is. Also helps to have a guy capable of making up some of the missing scoring punch.
Alex Smith agreed but I wouldn’t even call KD ball dominant. I don’t think he needs the ball in his hands to score. Working with Melo though would be great because it will help Kyrie more than anyone
Alex Smith exactly!
Carmelo should come to the Warriors we need more depth since Shaun Livingston and Iguodala left.
I was thinking the same. Warriors need Melo, especially with Melo willingly to accept the role of a bench player or like every Warriors fan know, the second string.
That’d actually be an awesome and exciting fit
I also want this
YES
@@paulbradley6077 only place he can possibly go if warriors man up and pick him up. Warriors with one of the best coaching right now, Steve Kerr, Melo may even see the starting role/spot coming off the bench.

This is a pity party for melo basically.
I respect Melo for coming on and keeping it real. Stephen A did a great job interviewing as well👌
Keeping it real? He's lying through his teeth
How is he keeping it real when he is putting all the blame to others and clearly shows he didn't want to accept any other role than being in the main starting line up?
Just cause he is talking calmly and kindly , doesnt mean he is saying his real feelings
Golden state should sign him. They play good basketball and Curry and Dlo and Draymond could set him perfect AND they are kind of lack in the scoring forward category.
jhon reckner They defense gonna be trash tho
Nah he'll eventually want more shot attempts and become a locker room cancer
jhon reckner Golden State should sign him tho or Lakers
I've been saying this for weeks. Warriors need scoring off the bench badly. Their bench now is filled with dudes who could never crack an NBA rotation consistently much less help a team win. He could work there as a 15-20 min scorer against teams' 2nd units.
@@richieblack5530 He said he's accepted his role/where he is now. Give him a chance¬ be a negative cancer!

Carmelo , Aaron Rodgers, and Lebron James these three gentlemen are the most scrutinized athletes ever. Melo has to look in the mirror and ask himself . Did i sacrifice my skills for my team?
