I love him laughing at the idea of coming off the bench. As if someone couldn't possibly (John Havlicek) come off the bench (Kevin McHale) and help win championships and (Manu Ginobili) become an all-time great.
While disrespecting 60% of the players in the League, even his bench teammates at the time. This has got to be one of the most overrated assholes the NBA has ever seen.
Especially as he was clearly past his glory days. Many will only remember him for his ego. I (as a relatively new and casual basketball fan) will do so.
Cornbread and Iggy won finals MVP, coming off the bench. That starting shit is an ego stroke and it shows those players are only concerned with their image and stats and are not committed to the overall success of the team. Melo has always been selfish as hell and never took an honest look at himself or his impact on his team.
Phil did do a terrible job building around him in 2015, made the Knicks from a 9th seed in 2014, to the 15th in 2015, plus Melo was injured most of the season, Phil made the team worse just to get Kristaps or somebody else.
I just wrote the same exact thing, Phil was right about both Melo and K.P who is always hurt. Phil only took the job because of the amount of money James Dolan gave him.
LakerFan287 not really. Phil got the job at the end of the 2014 season. They headed into the 2015 season with playoff aspirations but with Melo obviously playing hurt and the guys from 2013 (Amare, Shump, Chandler and JR) all playing like garbage they had no choice but to blow it up. Their record with Melo was 9-31 and by the time he shut it down they had a record of 10-43. They were on par with the current Knicks despite having WAY more talent.
@@darkinferno1219 This is correct. They intentionally tanked the season and got Porzingis out of it. They really should have built around Porzingis the moment they knew he was a star. Melo should have been traded during the tanking year in my opinion.
Still haven't forgiven him for sabotaging Jeremy Lin's career like that. I may have been wrong about the racial component to Lin's freezing, but Anthony playing him dirty was 100.
Yes and lets not forget the team was winning and playing faster the month Lin ran the team and Melo was out. And not just Lin. The whole team had great hop and pep. Then Melo-Hog shows back up and it all dies...
Adrian Arshad Jeremy lin was trash he had a hot streak no one knew who he was. I guess melo is the reason why he doesn't start anymore or has been on 5 different teams. Get off Melos nuts
JoeKickass324 Melo was injured during Linsanity. Thunder had the same record and he didn’t play a bunch of mins, they got blitzed by Utah. Nuggets? The team he was successful with in the playoffs even reaching the Western Conf Finals? Phil was fired because he was falling asleep during draft work outs lmao and because he pissed off KP.
U&I How many accounts you need to try and get my attention? No one trashes Lin. Dude is an average player. Also using mommy daddy jokes shows how young you are. You’re an idiot kiddo. No one cares. You mad I can play games and you can’t in your shitty situation? Every post you’re sucking off Lin because you not even worth the sweat off a dogs ball sack. Foh.
iZiear Dolan decided not to match because of Lux tax. Knicks brought in J Kidd to mentor Lin. Knicks would have to pay 35 M because of Houston’s contract being reworked.

Kobe level Mr. Smith should’ve been drug tested after saying that. Kobe made how many all defensive teams compared to Melo. Yes Kobe’s shot selection made me pull out my hair but Melo isn’t within light years of Kobe.
@@Therock007dmx Melos shot selection is almost just as bad. Melo had some pretty good teams he played on and always seemed to drag them down because guys knew once he had the ball you may as well just look for a rebound or go back to D because Melo wasn't giving it up. Yea he could put up 30+ points but on ridiculous shot attempts.
@@Therock007dmx kobe made defensive teams because he guarded the whack player on teams and shut him down....

Was reality that a hall of fame player is still confident in his ability to start and win games? Ya blowing other people’s opinions out of proportion and hating for no reason the nuggets was ass and Houston needed somebody to blame for underachieving
melo fans are delusional and if u try bringing this up. They`ll call u a hater. Melo fans need to accept the truth and there was a reason why melo was out of the nba at one point and had a bad reputation not because the league hated him or anything. Same thing with guys like Iverson.
He didnt do shit to linsanity new york wasnt gonna match that offer that houston gave him. They wernt gonna pay 35 million dollars to a player who is a little above average.

All you gotta do is watch time stamp 4:18 and it says it all. Melo has ZERO respect for anybody. He is literally un-coachable. These Melo fanatics need to stop defending his atrocious destructive behavior, c'mon son y'all think that's cool? It ain't the MAN or the LEAGUE trying to black ball him. He did this to himself. All the teams that took him in swore they could ignore his track record. Well now the truth is out and teams finally realize there is a severe downside, and since Melo is un-coachable, unwilling to sacrifice, and unable to evolve his game nobody at the moment wants him. Humility goes a long way and if he can't sit on the bench its a wrap for his career in the NBA. He'll get in the Hall, but no rings will be on his resume unless he makes real changes. Great bonus clips!!! ! They speak for itself no narration needed.
These videos are excellent. Not just for basketball but the time and research I can tell you're doing is so far beyond what many of these other channels are doing. Great job
OJ Moran when Stephen a said how do u feel bout linsanity. U could tell Melo was jealous about it deep down. And he later reported it to Dolan then being an idiot owner pushed Lin and D’iantoni out of town
@@HoleintheMeadow no it does not depend on the time. Kobe was the best player in the league from 04-10. Carmelo may have been better than Kobe after Kobe tore his Achilles, but not before that.
Too bad he is going out like this. He is not that bad of a player really, if he just understood the position he is in right now, he could easily play a few more years in the NBA. Look at Vince Carter, he is going to bad teams, playing some minutes, teaching the young players, this is the perfect role for Carmelo, no pressure, solid play time and a role as a mentor of the new generation.
don't compare the two. Vince realized his own limitations as he grew old. He developed his 3 point shot to the point where he's now considered a great spot up shooter. He passes the ball and helps in ball movement. His passion for basketball is still as great and is why he hasn't retired. Carmelo is still hogging up the ball movement jacking up horrible shots and looks like he's already given up on basketball entirely.
This states exactly why he is totally loathed by smart basketball people. He doesn't have the self awareness to truly realize who he is. His self perception of himself became his enemy. Dirk had the same kind of player trajectory as him, weak defended but world class scorer. Everyone would agree Dirk has had and is a better player than him because Dirk knew exactly what he brought to the table. This is the conundrum when you are really good at such a young age, no one will be honest with you cause all your life you've been told you're the greatest. He was surround with people who would tell him what he wanted to hear but he really should've had someone in his inner circle tell him what all these other smart basketball people saw in him. Honesty always the best no matter how it might affect someone emotionally
When Carmelo was in Denver his first 2-3 years he played hard all around, but once he got settled in with a new contract he just said F it to playing defense. After that point no coach has been able to get him to play solid D. He worries too much about potentially getting hurt if he plays D or crashes the boards. I'm surprised Phil Jackson put up with him for as long as he did, MJ and Pippen were two of the best defenders in the league when they played for Buddha in Chicago. That is why MJ is the GOAT; he played D, got his teammates involved in the game, he led and played hard every game. I was surprised MJ lasted as long as he did with the pace of play he had all those years. That is why he is GOAT, the guy just wouldn't quit.
When he said he was a fan of Linsanity, it was soo fake and dramatic. I'm guessing he was raised around women, a single mother possibly? His mannerisms are so snotty and petty.
Eli Hernandez I would argue a single mother could develop good mannerism or character. Bad influences or teachings should not be limited to single mothers.
I'd get my asses handed to me for acting feminine. If my family didn't discipline me, I'd probably be rolling my eyes and wearing tight pants these days.
@@EGarrett01 It's true tho melo always been a diva,when he told him linsanity has taken over ny look at the petty look and smile he gave him and the first thing that come to his mind is i love it I'M A PART OF IT.
A little bit of humility would have gone a long way. I have never cared for Carmelo as a basketball player. Manu ginobli was chosen 57th in 1999 Carmelo was chosen 3rd in 2003. Who would you want on your team? This is an easy one for me.
It's funny that when a reporter ask or suggest that he's coming off the bench, Carmelo was laughing as if it says to the reporter, "are you on drugs? Fast forward to today, he is not even on the bench at all. Nice!
You my friend or a true professional journalist, in every sense of the word, you need to make this your career. Every inch of your video is a masterpiece, sound sequence footage ambiance presentation organization... Thank you for blessing us with your skill. I myself drink their Carmelo Anthony Kool-Aid, but I cannot tell whether you worship him or hate him, & that is refreshing... It's how journalism should be done.
Melo out the league because he still believes he can go out there and get 25+ a night. He needed to go to the bench and just do his thing. At 34 you got to make sacrifices.
The most frustrating thing as a Knicks fan was watching Melo screw around in a badly positioned iso play that he himself was forcing, and then he'd either chuck the ball up in triple coverage, or he'd finally pass it to someone else, but with only a few seconds on the clock, to where his teammates were forced into bad shots because he ate most of the shot clock up dicking around with forced iso plays. It was like a recurring nightmare, and I was SOOooo glad when the Knicks finally got rid of him. The guy didn't make anyone around him better, and more than that, he made players around him look worse when he'd pass the ball with 2 seconds left and hope they'd look dumb instead.
Carmelo doesn't really care. He laughed all the way to the bank with his millions, and he got to play the way he wanted everywhere he went (no defense, just offense). He will probably make it to the Hall of Fame because of his stats. But if he had played defense, he wouldn't have scored as much as he did. In the end, he is not a winner.
I mean ... I've always hated him as a Player and I've always stated he's a cancer but when he laughed at the possibility of coming off the bench it really boiled my blood and he just showed everyone he's true selfish self
I'll never forget the look Melo had on his face when Jeremy Lin was cooking in New York during Linsanity. He looked extremely jealous of that man's success when cameras was on him during Lin's highlight moments on the court.. J-Lin was holding New York down unlike Melo because Lin was hitting everybody off in that system. That's EXACTLY what D'Antoni and Phil was looking for in Melo! It never happened...and Melo fans still make excuses for him. I love Melo, don't get me wrong, but he messed up all on his own...lack of humility.Plain and simple.
@IG: confused_melo For FACTS #Ginga just like Dirk Duncan Wade Vince Kobe... with basketball legends u let them go out when they ready not because media/league has some type of agenda against them. I don't here no one saying Sir Vincent Carter washed up. And unless u better than Melo who r u to say he don't deserve to be in the league?
Carmelo had bad body language when JR Smith made a monster dunk while on the Nuggets and emergence of LINSANITY. He did not like getting outshined by his own teammates.
People can have great debates about who’s the greatest player, greatest athlete, greatest shooter, greatest leader, greatest defender, greatest play maker, greatest passer, smartest player, most unselfish player, toughest player, etc., etc., etc. The easiest question is the most overrated player - Melo
Melo is lazy on defence. He also has a very poor mindset when it comes to being a team player too. This has always been his personal brand as a pro ball player. The teams he used to play for tolerates that because he WAS an elite scorer. But that ship has sailed not to mention the game had changed. Worst of all about Melo.... if your brand yourself to be his lazy on defence, refuse to evolve your game and also take one or many for any team (Eg. Come off the bench), no team is gonna take you seriously as a possible locker room guy or mentor to younger players. Melo just rubs off the wrong way to player let alone teams. AI and Steph Marbury both remind me of what Melo is going through right now!!!
please sync the audio levels in the future for videos like this. for some clips the volume needs to be all the way up while on others it needs to be all the way down. good compilation of clips otherwise. appreciate ya
nobody addresses the fact that this guy's supposed to be an all time scorer but NEVER avg 30pts in a season Other wing players in the same era: Wade, Lebron, Kobe, Tmac KD
That’s why when people say fiba Melo or olympics melo not because he’s simply better playing in an international setting but because he’s actually listening to the coaches (coach k) and not being an ball hog.
Melo had a chance with Phil Jackson to work on his game both offensively and defensively. Jackson has such experience. He is a world class coach, but melo was too arrogant to heed!
No NBA players has play 4 Times in Olympic History...Melo was 2nd & 3rd leading scores & 3 Gold medalist...Why all of a sudden 🇺🇸 4get how good Melo was...He's a scoring machine not a Best Defenders...Phil wrote a book about Mr.Selfish aka Kobe...of course Melo probably was selfish but Kobe was a NightMare-Selfish...
*“Carmelo Anthony has made every team he was on worst”* 2002 - 2003 Nuggets: 17-65 (w/o melo) 2003 - 2004 Nuggets: 43-39 (w/ melo) 2009-2010 Knicks: 29-53 (w/o melo) 2010-2011 Knicks: 42-40 (w/ melo) 2016-2017 Thunder: 47-35 (w/o melo) 2017-2018 Thunder: 48-34 (w/ melo) As you can see every team melo has been on so far has either gotten better or stayed relatively the same (record wise) look at the situation in Houston as an example.
Moral of the story just because you don’t like the man because of his play style on the court or his personality off the court doesn’t mean you have to start spreading BS lies. This comment isn’t directed towards Basketball Examined
They ( the media and Especially First Take !! ) killed Phil Jackson for saying that Melo needed to go. Wow looks like Phil was right about everything including the Unicorn 🦄 K.P that’s always hurt.
Wow, SAS, saying Kobe and Melo are the same???? OMG, just the rings issue separates them! Kobe was a beast on defense and Melo never gave a damn about it. Plus Melo being so ego centric about coming off the bench, look at what Iggy did for GSW, that helped them win a championship!
Carmelo bitched about Lin getting paid, look who is still playing. So many racist motives in the hate for Jeremy. Thanks for making this great video and just letting the video tell the story
Only thing stopping Melo from being great is his ego. Never was he a trash player and in fact, can still contribute to a team if he plays for what's best for the team.

“Yo, P, They’re saying I gotta come off the bench”
Carmelo Anthony
“I’m not sacrificing a bench role”
Carmelo Anthony
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yep his ego is there
*I feel bad for Melo, but at least his Olympic performance will get him into the hall of fame* 🏅🇺🇸😎
Knicks done one thing right which is to get rid of him before he destroys young stars like Porzingis' careers
Too bad he is going out like this. He is not that bad of a player really, if he just understood the position he is in right now, he could easily play a few more years in the NBA. Look at Vince Carter, he is going to bad teams, playing some minutes, teaching the young players, this is the perfect role for Carmelo, no pressure, solid play time and a role as a mentor of the new generation.
Can't pass, can't defend, and settles for long twos. It's ova
Vince Carter also isn't a one dimensional like Carmelo has been for his career.
Carmelo was a great halfcourt scorer. Thats it.
I can Melo mentoring players
"Aye fam fuck a system just shoot that shit fuck defense nigga that shits for pussies"
don't compare the two. Vince realized his own limitations as he grew old. He developed his 3 point shot to the point where he's now considered a great spot up shooter. He passes the ball and helps in ball movement. His passion for basketball is still as great and is why he hasn't retired. Carmelo is still hogging up the ball movement jacking up horrible shots and looks like he's already given up on basketball entirely.
This states exactly why he is totally loathed by smart basketball people. He doesn't have the self awareness to truly realize who he is. His self perception of himself became his enemy. Dirk had the same kind of player trajectory as him, weak defended but world class scorer. Everyone would agree Dirk has had and is a better player than him because Dirk knew exactly what he brought to the table. This is the conundrum when you are really good at such a young age, no one will be honest with you cause all your life you've been told you're the greatest. He was surround with people who would tell him what he wanted to hear but he really should've had someone in his inner circle tell him what all these other smart basketball people saw in him. Honesty always the best no matter how it might affect someone emotionally
Aye P! They say I can't play in the league anymore!
B0sTonCeltics20534 LOL
When Carmelo was in Denver his first 2-3 years he played hard all around, but once he got settled in with a new contract he just said F it to playing defense. After that point no coach has been able to get him to play solid D. He worries too much about potentially getting hurt if he plays D or crashes the boards. I'm surprised Phil Jackson put up with him for as long as he did, MJ and Pippen were two of the best defenders in the league when they played for Buddha in Chicago. That is why MJ is the GOAT; he played D, got his teammates involved in the game, he led and played hard every game. I was surprised MJ lasted as long as he did with the pace of play he had all those years. That is why he is GOAT, the guy just wouldn't quit.
Solid evidence. This creator loves this game. Subscribed!
When he said he was a fan of Linsanity, it was soo fake and dramatic. I'm guessing he was raised around women, a single mother possibly? His mannerisms are so snotty and petty.
Eli Hernandez I would argue a single mother could develop good mannerism or character. Bad influences or teachings should not be limited to single mothers.
Idiotic post.
Im myself raised by a single mother and women. But my aunts all made sure I didn't carry myself like them. And I'm glad they did.
I'd get my asses handed to me for acting feminine. If my family didn't discipline me, I'd probably be rolling my eyes and wearing tight pants these days.
@@EGarrett01 It's true tho melo always been a diva,when he told him linsanity has taken over ny look at the petty look and smile he gave him and the first thing that come to his mind is i love it I'M A PART OF IT.
A little bit of humility would have gone a long way. I have never cared for Carmelo as a basketball player. Manu ginobli was chosen 57th in 1999 Carmelo was chosen 3rd in 2003. Who would you want on your team? This is an easy one for me.
candi0497
Same here
It's funny that when a reporter ask or suggest that he's coming off the bench, Carmelo was laughing as if it says to the reporter, "are you on drugs? Fast forward to today, he is not even on the bench at all. Nice!
Feels like Allen Iverson all over again
Frfr.
AI was way better than Melo
Thank you for all this context. You do a great job with these informative viceos.
You my friend or a true professional journalist, in every sense of the word, you need to make this your career. Every inch of your video is a masterpiece, sound sequence footage ambiance presentation organization... Thank you for blessing us with your skill. I myself drink their Carmelo Anthony Kool-Aid, but I cannot tell whether you worship him or hate him, & that is refreshing... It's how journalism should be done.
Melo out the league because he still believes he can go out there and get 25+ a night. He needed to go to the bench and just do his thing. At 34 you got to make sacrifices.
grod1126 he did, the guy is coming off the bench getting paid vet minimum. 2 seasons ago he was putting up 22 a game. 🤦🏾♂️
trevone murry He didn’t want to is the problem. I like Melo and he had all the tools to be great.
grod1126 because he understood that he shouldn’t but he did it regardless
How bout' lebron
timhoward5 Cmon use your brain. You can only name Lebron because he’s a freak of nature.
Everybody has been saying this for years...This is nothing new...
Right, it's always been there, no one really wanted to knowledge that...
The most frustrating thing as a Knicks fan was watching Melo screw around in a badly positioned iso play that he himself was forcing, and then he'd either chuck the ball up in triple coverage, or he'd finally pass it to someone else, but with only a few seconds on the clock, to where his teammates were forced into bad shots because he ate most of the shot clock up dicking around with forced iso plays. It was like a recurring nightmare, and I was SOOooo glad when the Knicks finally got rid of him. The guy didn't make anyone around him better, and more than that, he made players around him look worse when he'd pass the ball with 2 seconds left and hope they'd look dumb instead.
SAS can say something so stupid it ruins my day
Came here after Chauncey Billups comments. This video is prophetic..
😂😂😂 Savage but on point.
Lebrons respons was hilarious 😂
Carmelo doesn't really care. He laughed all the way to the bank with his millions, and he got to play the way he wanted everywhere he went (no defense, just offense). He will probably make it to the Hall of Fame because of his stats. But if he had played defense, he wouldn't have scored as much as he did. In the end, he is not a winner.
Great video
Lmaooo now Im starting to see the skip in SAS
I mean ... I've always hated him as a Player and I've always stated he's a cancer but when he laughed at the possibility of coming off the bench it really boiled my blood and he just showed everyone he's true selfish self
I like Melo when he was a rookie and playing in Nuggets, but when he tastes some spotlight and stardom he stops growing and evolving his game.
Carmelo is a great example of the NBA dictating to the media, that they will promote him as a great player.
Come off the bench?
Chumpmelo oughta be cleaning the locker room and making sure the water bottles are chilled.
D'Antoni's face at 7:08 says it all
Carmelo a legend
Same people you meet on the way up may be the same ones you meet on the way down.
I'll never forget the look Melo had on his face when Jeremy Lin was cooking in New York during Linsanity. He looked extremely jealous of that man's success when cameras was on him during Lin's highlight moments on the court.. J-Lin was holding New York down unlike Melo because Lin was hitting everybody off in that system. That's EXACTLY what D'Antoni and Phil was looking for in Melo! It never happened...and Melo fans still make excuses for him. I love Melo, don't get me wrong, but he messed up all on his own...lack of humility.Plain and simple.
Love your channel bro but are gonna apologize to Melo?
@IG: confused_melo For FACTS #Ginga just like Dirk Duncan Wade Vince Kobe... with basketball legends u let them go out when they ready not because media/league has some type of agenda against them. I don't here no one saying Sir Vincent Carter washed up.
And unless u better than Melo who r u to say he don't deserve to be in the league?
He is not a teamplayer.
Carmelo had bad body language when JR Smith made a monster dunk while on the Nuggets and emergence of LINSANITY.
He did not like getting outshined by his own teammates.
He simply needed to work on conditioning defense and overall awareness.
15 seasons in the NBA, who gonna take a risk getting him?
What’s crazy is he had all the tools to be better too.
People can have great debates about who’s the greatest player, greatest athlete, greatest shooter, greatest leader, greatest defender, greatest play maker, greatest passer, smartest player, most unselfish player, toughest player, etc., etc., etc. The easiest question is the most overrated player - Melo
Melo is lazy on defence. He also has a very poor mindset when it comes to being a team player too. This has always been his personal brand as a pro ball player. The teams he used to play for tolerates that because he WAS an elite scorer. But that ship has sailed not to mention the game had changed.
Worst of all about Melo.... if your brand yourself to be his lazy on defence, refuse to evolve your game and also take one or many for any team (Eg. Come off the bench), no team is gonna take you seriously as a possible locker room guy or mentor to younger players. Melo just rubs off the wrong way to player let alone teams.
AI and Steph Marbury both remind me of what Melo is going through right now!!!
please sync the audio levels in the future for videos like this. for some clips the volume needs to be all the way up while on others it needs to be all the way down.
good compilation of clips otherwise. appreciate ya
bump
He left to pursue some " honey nut cheerios".
nobody addresses the fact that this guy's supposed to be an all time scorer but NEVER avg 30pts in a season
Other wing players in the same era: Wade, Lebron, Kobe, Tmac KD
That’s why when people say fiba Melo or olympics melo not because he’s simply better playing in an international setting but because he’s actually listening to the coaches (coach k) and not being an ball hog.
Melo had a chance with Phil Jackson to work on his game both offensively and defensively. Jackson has such experience. He is a world class coach, but melo was too arrogant to heed!
It’s crazy that he’ll still be a Hall of Famer
A little late here but where were the same media and "fans" who called Phil insane and out of touch when he want Melo out of New York.
Melo played himself
That's what I thought, he been needed to humbled...
Who would’ve thought Vince Carter would outlast Carmelo Anthony
Lebron we don’t even have a roster spot 😂
I dont understand why Denver say BYE to Gallo...
Murray Harris Gallinari Millsap Jokic + Thomas = WCF 100%
Melo is not on the same level as Kobe only because of rings?? That right there is just STUPID..
No NBA players has play 4 Times in Olympic History...Melo was 2nd & 3rd leading scores & 3 Gold medalist...Why all of a sudden 🇺🇸 4get how good Melo was...He's a scoring machine not a Best Defenders...Phil wrote a book about Mr.Selfish aka Kobe...of course Melo probably was selfish but Kobe was a NightMare-Selfish...
Lol excuses
*“Carmelo Anthony has made every team he was on worst”*
2002 - 2003 Nuggets: 17-65 (w/o melo)
2003 - 2004 Nuggets: 43-39 (w/ melo)
2009-2010 Knicks: 29-53 (w/o melo)
2010-2011 Knicks: 42-40 (w/ melo)
2016-2017 Thunder: 47-35 (w/o melo)
2017-2018 Thunder: 48-34 (w/ melo)
As you can see every team melo has been on so far has either gotten better or stayed relatively the same (record wise) look at the situation in Houston as an example.
Moral of the story just because you don’t like the man because of his play style on the court or his personality off the court doesn’t mean you have to start spreading BS lies.
This comment isn’t directed towards Basketball Examined
Dang... Another one?! You already double tap head-shoted the zombie, how you gonna also order an airstrike too for the overkill... LMAO!
What's the name of that instrumental?
Ok guys real question is where the hell is he now?
At home?
They ( the media and Especially First Take !! ) killed Phil Jackson for saying that Melo needed to go. Wow looks like Phil was right about everything including the Unicorn 🦄 K.P that’s always hurt.
Wow, SAS, saying Kobe and Melo are the same???? OMG, just the rings issue separates them! Kobe was a beast on defense and Melo never gave a damn about it. Plus Melo being so ego centric about coming off the bench, look at what Iggy did for GSW, that helped them win a championship!
Carmelo bitched about Lin getting paid, look who is still playing. So many racist motives in the hate for Jeremy. Thanks for making this great video and just letting the video tell the story
This dude gotta have a shrine of melo in his closet, on some hey Arnold shit
“ I’m not sacrificing no bench role” That means I am willing to be benched.
Carmelo been trash since KNICKS.. I don’t know why ppl put up such a fight about him being good..
FahQ Hue Had to be good at some point to be considered a HOF by all of his peers
Only thing stopping Melo from being great is his ego. Never was he a trash player and in fact, can still contribute to a team if he plays for what's best for the team.
Thank you
