Mark Aguirre in Dallas was a scoring machine at 6'6" and not a leaper. Those Mavs teams they built through the draft, everyone could score. That 1988 team. Wow
Chuck Daly was way too firm with that "no" to Dennis about Mark. Low-key, I think he didn't like Mark and made certain to cut him out of things during the '90 season.
Gee, I didn't know Carmelo won 2 championships, was a 2-time unanimous all-american, won multiple NCAA player of the year awards, high school MVP, and made his team win more every team he joined (and saw them lose more after he left.
Aguirre could've played for Mexico vs the Dream Team (since he's part mexican), and his name isn't pronounced "A-guay-yehr", it's a spanish surname name it's AGUIRRE (a-gi-rey). His name's been mispronounced for a long time in his playing days i bet lol
I didn't know that. I'm thinking he either didn't feel like correcting people all the time or his family pronounced it A-guay-yehr. As an American, we mispronounce stuff all the time
Mark Aguirre was a helluva player but I remember when Larry Bird and Indiana State played Depaul and Mark Aquirre. To make a long story short, Bird wore out Depaul and sent Marl Aguirre packing.
@@Amick44 yet teams kept trading him because of his weak game in other areas. Traded 4 times before he ever played with Isiah Thomas. Aguirre was a much better player.

I'm New Yorker and diehard NY Knicks fan. Mark Aguirre is a good comparison, but Melo's game is more like Bernard King's. Both players made their living and earned fame in mid-post (mid-range assassins/scoring machines). It's time for Melo to come home and team up with his two buddies (Durant/Kyrie) who helped him win third gold medal in 2016. Win a chip and then retire NY Knick subsequent year. I'm tired of watching him get DISRESPECTED by Lakers coaching staff and stat padding, ball hogs Lebron/Westbrick. How does Melo stay friends with narcissist (Bron). Bron took early flight home. What leader does this? SMH! Anyway, In the last two games, Melo (the 9th all time leading scorer in NBA) only attempted 4 and 7 shots respectively. In the game against Philly without Lebron, he scored 20 pts (8 of 15). Whose fault is it for not running offense through him? He can still get you buckets. The blame has to go to coach/point guard. Without Lebron/Davis, Melo should be #1 option, not Westbrick. In 2018, Westbrick went 18 of 43 in final game in playoffs against Utah Jazz. George Paul CHOKED in series. Ingles ate PG13's lunch and got in his head. OKC lost series and everyone blamed Melo. You can't take 43 shots and call yourself team player/point guard. It's selfishness and lack of trust. I hope I'm wrong, but Westbrick and Harden will NEVER win championship as the lead guard...TOO BALL DOMINANT, STUBBORN, AND SELFISH.
I'd say Melo was more like a somewhat less athletic Dominique. Both ball dominant, great ISO scorers, but they just weren't going to win that much with that style of play. Each scored like hell, but neither got their mates involved much and it led to teammates standing around a lot.
Carmelo did not do the same in the huddles as mark did with Dennis - a true Knick fan!!!! - he was a talent but underachieved as a leader and for us Knicks he had help for 5 of the 7 he gave us and it was the weakAss east no playoffs smfh

5 of the 7 years idk about that Mabye 2 or 3 also what do you consider help amare was only good for 2 seasons after that he was pretty much a way worse AD would score like 15 ppg and would just barely play 40 games in the season.

after that melo got injured and needed surgery and the front office didn’t do shit to make the team better in fact they just ruined the chemistry by trading all the decent players away and put all their hopes in a foreign rookie porzingus. melo was still recovering from surgery and was suffering from tendinitis so he lost a lot of athleticism and his scoring clearly dropped but he was passing more and playing a more all around game. Besides porzingus that was a terrible team and there was no way in hell they was making the playoffs.then they got a post surgery drose to try to spice something up and he clearly looked better than the previous years but at that point drose was a shell of his former self. Saying he had help when he had to compete with healthy superteams is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard. Go back and look at those rosters again they was abysmal
He's more of a man than a lot of immature players back then and nowadays. Who else puts a chip before their ego? Man was a scoring champion and said the team would be better with himself on the bench and starting Rodman instead.

aguirre's one handed turnaround shot deserves more recognition
I like that moment when Aguirre was telling him “he can do it.”
Great comparison I was thinking Bernard King but Aguirre was a beast as well
Wow, Bernard King is a great comparison as well.
Benard was a great scorer but didn’t shoot the three!
@@ADifferentLookNetworkMelo didn't shoot the three "well" until far past his prime.
When at Dallas, Aguirre versus Charles Barkley used to be classic.

That's why he traded Dantley for Aguirre.

I'm jealous 😢
They won by 1 point.
Aguirre busted them also and he was a freshman going against a 5th year senior.
Aguirre was actually better at handling the rock. Melo had a better post up game., and the lightning quick first step.
U crazyark had better offense game period
It's pronounce as "Agire" not "Agwayr
He talking bout my unc
Mark was great, I hope Melo can get back in the league
i thought adrian dantley was a better comparison with melo
💯
Hell no.
AD was not athletic, was not a great perimeter player and he was not a ball handler .
AD was slow and boring to watch.

I don't think you're wrong. Neither will win with that style of play. They're only hope is going to some team where they are less of a factor.
Melo = Bernard King x Adrian Dantley x Mark Aguirre
literally everyone of those guys is way better than Melo. Everyone of them.

Don’t ever Disrespect Melo with that scrub again lmao
Lmao u just don’t know basketball if u really think that
Melo is like Aguirre if Aguirre didn't win any championships.
Lmfao
Aguire was a beast he sacrificed his numbers to win chips.Could easily stayed in Dallas Ad scored 25
Melo is over-rated. Aguirre was a much better player by any measure.
Mark quite literally fortunate he got 2 chips
Being friends with Zeke has its benefits
Sure. But at least he accepted a reduced role after years of being a top dog. Respect 4 that.
nah, he played his role. He helped make the Pistons champions and put them over the hump against Boston and LA.
He's more of a man than a lot of immature players back then and nowadays.
Who else puts a chip before their ego? Man was a scoring champion and said the team would be better with himself on the bench and starting Rodman instead.
I love how he called Rodman a superstar
Too bad Melo couldn’t give Phil a chip
