- Carmelo Anthony has probably been the most disrespected star in the last few years. He didn't play well in OKC, but overall - he's one of the best players of the last decade. Prime Melo was amazing, and in this video I talk about Melo's entire NBA career and try to get rid of the misconceptions.
I make all kinds of NBA videos which include trivia, analysis, player stories, countdowns, conspiracies, and mysteries. Make sure to leave a like and subscribe if you enjoyed this video!

The no-flop section made me a fan of Melo
Exactly!
Old heads overrate him, new kids disrespect him.
Siga Sopater old heads don’t even care for melo lmao
They should stay of the weeeeddddhhhh
That’s accurate as fuck
Tatum said he's one of his favourite players
kingrobinho777 that's because tatum actually knows basketball and doesn't just hop in the fuck melo bandwagon
You have single handedly increased my respect for Melo...I was ignorant before. He will be a hall of famer and potentially a champion next season.
Melo on OKC, the same as Diwght on Lakers. Good players on wrong team or i should say miss used player on a team
Dwight Howard was never fully healthy
When he was with the Lakers, he was coming off of back surgery which is probably the toughest injury to come back from
Facts I hope both those players could just win a ring before they retire.
@@Notilaam yeah i hope so bro
Some players just don't fit
Again, that's not really true. When OKC was healthy, i.e. when Roberson was healthy to create that dominant defensive wing duo between Roberson and George, they were one of the most dominant teams in the league. And that was key in covering up Melo's defensive efficiencies and helping get everyone easy buckets. With no Roberson on defense, they lost arguably their biggest strength and they just didn't have the chemistry as a team to overcome those problems.
When melo was playing for the knicks no one was talking about him then he joins okc, has one bad yr now suddenly he's been overrated his whole career same with Damian lillard he balls out in the playoffs every yr and was a mvp candidate near the end of the season then has one bad playoff series now he's a choker or overrated some nba fan seriously need to switch to watching golf smh
why you disrespectin golf tho
Dame & Cj the worst def backcourt since Monta & Curry
Lmao, Dame has a history of poor play and horrendous shooting in the playoffs. he's even had a couple of playoff runs shooting BELOW 40%.
Eric Skeldon facts
SuperLivinglikelarry you've obviously never seen dame in the playoffs
Career wise, yes. 2018 season he deserves all the crap he got. How are you gonna shoot 40% being the 3rd option?
Yeah I’m mainly focusing on his career. His OKC run sucked, everyone knows that already though
He’s in his 15th season and has more mileage than almost everyone in the league. A decline was inevitable.
Basketball Empire playing with Westbrick
@@AndyHoops his careers been ass.
A lot of players had their worst part of their career when they played with Westbrook, I love Russel that is just sadly true. to his defense, some players played really well with him such as Ibaka and Roberson
its because most nba fans are brand new. OG fans all remember how special 09 melo was
09-10 melo was peak melo...unguardable 28.2 ppg 46% almost 83% ft 9 attempts per game meaning guys would foul him cause they had no idea what else to do... 6.6 rebs 3.2 assists 1.3 steals ….he was at his mental and psychical peak with all the tools in the shed working at full max
Melo should have easily won the ROY, he led his team to the playoffs LBJ didnt.
But Iverson had better numbers and was the number one option, both Melo and Lebron were #1 options and Melo had better numbers in most categories. It's all an opinion though
KingLeo80 An all-star in Ilgauskas, Carlos Boozer, Ricky Davis (even if he was only there for 22 games) and LeBron’s coach actually had more experience and had a better resume
KingLeo80 I never said they were better, but they weren’t worse than what Melo had.
KingLeo80 Camby is better than Boozer (defensively) but Ilgauskas and Davis are both better than Miller and Nene lmao
Hernis De La Cruz that’s not what decides ROTY, it’s not like MVP where team record is a factor. It’s simply which rookie has the better narrative and stats.
🗣This video was MUCH needed, even AFTER being disgraced & disrespected, he STILL handled the situation with dignity, class & professionalism
Thanks Andy finally. Ive been saying for so long now that no one can be overrated if everyone calls them overrated.
I think he would've had a better career if he stayed with Denver. Nothing has gone right for him since he left, now i notice that Denver beats every team he has been on.
Especially with Masai Ujiri there as GM. They actually had the pieces to move to acquire CP3. And if that happened, they would've had a powerhouse squad.
No it was time to leave melo pissed them off it was not going to work.
How can you disrespect the greatest hawks ever? I don't get it
Edo Came, funny, I didn't hear him say anything about Dominique Wilkins?
Fuckin idiot he fuckin joking dumbass.Okc traded Melo to the Hawks.The hawks bout a week later orchestrated a buy out, then he signed with the Rockets. He was a Atlanta hawks player for 1 week,that was the damn point of the joke
Edo Came 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Although last year was very disappointing, you can't blame it all on him. I mean let's be honest, Billy Donovan isn't a good coach, and that's held a lot of people in OKC back. And who knows, maybe he will bounce back in a way. I'm just saying don't be so quick to judge
Edit: He is a little overrated overall tho, just a little
Billy is a good coach imo and he made the best out of OKC team a couple of years ago, not his fault that his players turned against each other in game 6 against GSW and choked
@@mamindhive Well it was kinda his fault seems like dude was scared to say no to Westbrook lol. Run some plays and dont let essentially two players hold the ball.
Donovan is outrageously bad, but Melo has never really helped a team to win... Its not just this year that he was a detriment to his team on both sides of the floor. His biggest problems are his ego, and playing weight. He has all the talent, but you have to call it like it is: Melo is the biggest reason why Melo has struggled for his career.
Funny thing is, people only want to say Melo performed bad... But nobody bats an eye to Paul Geroge, who also played pretty bad but since everybody wants to blame Melo we're just gonna ignore that right? Lol
@@mamindhive You dont know nothing bout OKC if you think Billy Donovan is a good coach. All he does is run ISO or PnR and there is literally no teamplay
Melo didn’t force the trade to NY. Yes he said he would only sign an extension w/ the Knicks but the GM at the time Donnie Walsh wanted to wait to sign him that coming summer but the owner James Dolan was the 1 that forced the trade before the all star break even though the team was playoff bound.
Criticism for this season is fair game, he played horrible & he ultimately doesn’t want to come off the bench which might suit him better in this stage of his career. But okc & Westbrook was never a good fit. If you look at Olympic Melo the starting pgs are playmakers/passers. Westbrook is not that type of pg that controls a whole offense the way Wall or CP3 do.
Westbrook controls the offense more. Higher usg% than either wall or cp3
Came back here after the hearing the news of Melo announcing his retirement? Anyone else present here? He's a surefire first ballot Hall of Famer undoubtedly despite the lack of Playoff success or let alone the lack of championship.
"Olympic Melo" I hate that phrase. He was playing with maybe the greatest basketball team of all time against players, that wouldnt even make the NBA..
The idea was there though, that he’d get a lot more open shots as the 3rd option and hit them...he just didn’t hit them
Get Kyle Korver for that. Melo is a dynamic scorer and not a shooter. He never was one and he never will be. He'd be great on a team like the Bulls a couple years ago, when he signed the monster deal in New York and ruined his career.
But now? He's too old to play the 3 and he's not a stretch 4.. and lets not talk about defense. Teams will MURDER the Rockets on pick&rolls against Harden & Melo.
I just dont see him coming back. The Rockets have a very, very simple offense.. and they need steady shooters that can play defense for that. Melo is neither. I also dont see the argument, that he will thrive playing with their bench. The Rockets have Harden or CP3 on the court pretty much for 48 minutes per game. Where is Melo in all that?
Mann you're crazy. Kobe said it himself the players over seas are just good as if not better than their American counterparts and that they could easily enter the NBA but choose not to.
Why are NBA players dominating their ass then if they're better?
What crack are you smokin? maybe %0.1 of players overseas could
This explanation was very informative about Melo. That no flop you mentioned was big in today's era. He is really underrated and is criticized too heavily.
(Insert Mike Korezmbas valued opinion)☠😂😂
Roman Sheoships AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Anthony Davis is NOT HUMAN!
Valued??
Lmfao
THANK YOU. I'm done with this stupid narrative about Carmelo. Great video Andy.
It all started when he refused to come off the bench,maybe if he took the role of a 6th man and brought good scoring off the bench he wouldn't be in this situation
Dank Memester shut up with that the reporter who asked that question was way out of line to ask that especially at the beginning of the season I get it if he was playing bad but he was averaging the same thing as pg in points rebounds and assists while being almost ten years older than him and being a more versatile scorer I think the better question is if it was all about what he would be willing to do for the team like they claim why was it that they never attempted to ask pg the same thing it was obviously to start a narrative
Also continue making the weird statline videos plz they are so good
People just have amnesia or just too young too remember how great he was
Wipexherxdry that's what I'm thinking..or there's a drug epidemic
Lol not really. Great scorer, liability on defense. Wasn't as much of a team player like most know.
onlyrog5 then how come he made denver and new york more successful than they had been in decades?
@@Hawkeyes319 You still forget the supporting casts he had that took his game to another level 😂 With kidd, chandler, amare, felton, JR and etc they were dangerous. Same w the nuggets in a deep western conference. Great scorer but he was flawed like any other player.
onlyrog5 i never said he was perfect..and every player you named was past their prime or injury prone..he played well but lets not act likes hes ever been on a great team because he hasnt.ever.
Nice video Andy! Keep doing those kind of videos. I love them. Btw It is unfortunate that Melo is receiving so much disrespect
Man Andy you have my utmost respect, you always hit the nail on the head. I will never forget your CP3 video, it is unbelievable the amount of disrespect he gets as well
He's a tremendous offensive player , but that just doesn't cut it anymore. You either have to be versatile and keep the ball moving creating opportunities for the team or at least play defense. You can't just throw him in and have every possession come to an end once he touches the ball and also be a defensive liability.
awesome video bro keep up the great work
OKC fan here and I can see that he CAN contribute on a championship team but it has to be the right situation for him. He simply isn’t good enough to be a star on a championship team but on the Rockets I think he can thrive as a scoring oriented 6th man. In the playoffs is when you need that ball stopper type player to stop the opponents runs and give you instant offence if plays are breaking down.
I think right now he is underrated but not by much. He can contribute to a championship team but not as a star, no way.
Agree
okc loyal fan too, but i would put some blame on donovan. his system didn't work, Broussard was right with the "let russ be russ thing" but at some point you need those 16 points melo put last season. my only hope is roberson comes back 100% and someone starts to make some 3's or they are going to have issues putting points on the board. can't wait for that new lineup of 3 defensive wings, holy shit.
Yep OKC has one of the strongest defence in the league if not the strongest with Roberson back, don't forget that it will help PG13 a lot as he will not have to guard the best offensive player in each position. All the best to y'all
Marcus Roberts bruh in 09 he gave the eventual champions their toughest series in the entire playoff run yet isn't good enough to be the guy on a championship team?????
Certainly not a star he's not even a solid starter for a top team
Finally some respect for Melo
great video Andy!
I love you Andy! Every single video on Melo is always talkin down on him and making him look bad and this is the only video I’ve seen where it’s positive mainly and no hate on it.
Great scorer, liability on defense, improved his rebounding, stuck in the iso era and wasn't as unselfish like other stars in the league
Thanks for making this video !!
J L Hey! Hope you’re doing good! I upload great nba content! Can you sub to me and stay active? I will appreciate your support and feedback! Stay active if you enjoy! God bless you! Thanks fam
About time someone knows basketball!!! Good video!!!
I was hoping you'd mention he set a recently broken record of most points in a quarter if I remember correctly 33? And his physical and very entertaining matchup with Kobe in the playoffs was fun to watch back then. He was also not scared of taking the shots at the last seconds ( although not as impressive as the others) but yeah. Hes still one of my favorite players to watch back then. It was frustrating how the pistons could've picked him and maybe had a better career with a ring too.
Your videos are great man keep it up!
Thank you Andy for this video!!!
Love ur vids keep up the good work
He was an amazing scorer in his prime yes and including that year n 2012-13 , he went off crazy and I feel like that was his best year with the Knicks , yeah but I also agree , he did not fit well in that OKC system which is definitely true but great video Andy
NY legend, big love from six nay andy. For the record my all time current gen squad is A.I, Kobe, Melo, LeBron, K.D.
Andy love the vids! Mark Eaton had an interesting story, would you consider making a video on him?
Melo played the 4 all last season, he was out of position not to mention he was never a great defender. He is not a catch & shoot player he needs touches to be effective. I blame Billy Donovan for not putting him in better positions to succeed. I expect him to be way more efficient with Cp3 & Harden finding him for open looks. Plus the Thunder had no space whatsoever.
Come on bro 4 real the 4? He been playing the 4 with the Knicks that's nothing new to melo he just lost it over night everyone stop making excuses for him at his best he was just a great scorer that's it now tell me what else he did well bet you can't dude was never devoted enough to me
Hey Andy I'm new to your videos. I have yet to watch this one, but I'm an NBA fan who has never been big on Melo. I'm looking forward to listening to your take that (based off the title) seems to be different than my own take.
I liked the video before I even watched it. Keep it up
You have a great point about him getting no calls. When he was in the Knicks, he would always say that he would get no calls. Also is pretty good at the free throw line. So if he has the calls that he was supposed to he would average more points and look more efficient (both stat and analytics wise) Once KD had more of a complete game Melo was just forgotten to most NBA fans.
Andy hoops slowly rising on the one of the better sports guy great facts and non bias is
Thank you Andy!!!
He still is overrated. Not because of him now, since he’s not as good as before, but people have started to look back on the career he’s put together. 1 Conference Finals in a year he didn’t even make the allstar team and 1 Semi-Finals appearance and multiple first round losses. Instead of putting him with guys like Nash in terms of success, I’d put him closer to McGrady, but T-Mac never had a squad or wasn’t healthy. Melo has some really good teams in Denver and New York, and even last year, but it never worked out. His career is overrated because he hasn’t done shit in 15, going on 16 years after being known as a winner in high school and college. Imo, he was an allstar, not a superstar, at his best. The dude at best is at the bottom of any top 10 during his prime years.
Him taking a step back that conf. finals season is irrelevant. In the playoffs, which is what everyone says matters. He was statistically their biggest performer from start to finish. Him and Billups led that team the conf. finals.
And his squads were never as loaded as the guys we put above him during his career. Durant has played with nothing but MVP's and first ballot Hof-ers his entire career. Lebron's great transformation as this consumate winner only started when he decided to play every season with no less than two superstars or at least perennial all stars, and Kobe's teams were putting up the same kind of seasons every season except the ones when he played with at least 1 other perennial all star.
Melo's never been on teams like that and that's partly his fault for not assessing the talent on his potential teams properly and putting himself in position to play with the proper talent. But that doesn't diminish the fact that he's one of the greatest players ever. Top 50 for sure, potentially top 30 or higher. What's crazy, is if he were drafted by Detroit, he might've been considered on the same level as Kobe, Magic, Bird, and all those guys just a level below Jordan due to how much they would've won. But, it is what it is.
Thank you for this video!!!!
Great video bro, definitely agree with everything you said
Great Video. I seriously hope Melo can get a chip before his career is officially over.
What's the name of the song at the start of the video?
Thank you very much for this! You made me realize I was definitely too hard on Melo.
I hear what your saying about "how can he be overrated if everyone thinks he sucks". It's because he actually sucks more than people are saying. I do like the no flopping thing, he should get more props for that.
Liked the vid before even watching. MELO ALL DAY!!!
Just from watching that he doesn't flop I instantly gained so much more respect for him ty Andy
Thank you, it's about time someone said this, know ones overrating him cause no ones saying he's good
Completely agree. When I was watching mike korzembas video I was thinking the exact same thing even though I never saw him in his prime
Andy you’re my boy!
Andy the only reason people think he sucks is BECAUSE of how "overrated" he is. Dude has no rings and has minimal accolades. Personally, I think he's had a fine career compared to the majority of other players through out the leagues history. But Carmelo Anthony will be LUCKY if he makes anyone's Top 20 small forward list in the future
Minimal accolades? He took Syracuse to a NCAA championship as a freshman and won
I agree that Melo's struggles in OKC wasn't entirely his fault (Billy Donovan's bad offense, Russell Westbrook's poor execution of the bad offense, and Melo's awkward fit with the team are all partly to blame as well), but he wasn't as good as he was made out to be in his prime. Everybody talks about "oh if Melo had more help he'd be doing better", but his skill set does not allow him to produce as much as he should around talented players. He is an elite shot maker, but he doesn't create good shots consistently for himself or for his teammates. He doesn't play off ball very well (if you watch him play off ball, he literally just shuffles around the perimeter somewhat aimlessly), he doesn't pass very often, and he plays average at best defense. He had plenty of help in Denver (Chauncy, A.I., Marcus Camby) , and he had decent help him New York for at least one and a half seasons, but he still couldn't get it done in the playoffs.
Hey Andy what was ur favorite Knicks year?
Loved this video. FACTS
Andy I love your channel keep growing but people aren’t saying that he is overrated there saying his career is overrated because for all the potential he had he has only really led a winning team three times 08 10 13 I hope you see this love your channel just my opinion
No matter what he still belongs in the hall of fame
Fir what? Ruining careers of his teammates?
True he goes in the Shawn Kemp section Foh
@@estallworth7426 Shut the fuck up, you know nothing about basketball if you think Melo isn't a Hall of Famer.
Melo just has a huge ego. His play doesn't match up to his huge ego so people dislike him. Look at Vince Carter, he realised he was no longer a star offensive player and became a very good defender and bench player which he wasn't known for until his later career. Melo has started every NBA game he has ever played in but he should be leading an offensive off the bench, not starting as a third option. His game isn't suited to that. Even D Wade realised he was no longer a starter last season.
Exactly! Dude is not unselfish like some other stars and was stuck in the iso era. Great scorer but idk people act like he didnt have a nice supporting cast w denver and a dangerous threat to the heat that once season. The bias toward a player comes out in the comments here
Don't forget the forced trade to New York and then getting his coach, D'antoni, and Linsanity fired. Putting down his own teammate who was doing well. You're absolutely right. We're all loving the chance to bring him down a few pegs.
Lin sucks and D'antoni was a bad fit for the knicks... I'm not the biggest Melo fan, but his ego was never an issue in NY, only became a problem when he went to OKC
@@kthadonmusic 😂😂
K D The results speak for themselves. Lin and D'antoni won games, and nowadays, every team wants to play that brand of basketball. But Melo's ego was too big for that. It was totally an issue in NY; people just didn't realize it back then.
At least the Hawks gave him a jersey... That's something.
whats the song in the beggining?
Great video! My man Melo keeps getting disrespected! 😤I'm curious though - did you see Mike Korzemba's video on him and if you did, what did you think about the advanced stats he brought up?
Rigth on point🔥🔥🔥 Melo is melo that just the way it is..
Im a carmelo fan and i agree 100%with you ... can you please make a what if melo played in a different era or what if lebron didnt exist
Thank you Andy Andy you're not one to pull up lame ass advanced stats and just bag on the man like Mike korzemba or other youtubers melo is my favorite player and deserved this video, not to get bagged on all the time.
Thank you
Absolutely spot on
what's the background song?
Melo was better than Lebron from 2003-2010 but the other years didn’t work out because “I want to take my talents to south beach to join Wade and Bosh so I can learn how to win”.
He's a first ballot hall of famer and one of the greatest to play. His biggest problem was not knowing how to assess the talent he needed to have around him to create a championship quality squad and not ruffling enough feathers to force management to get the players needed to win.
Outside of that, he was a great player who's best years are in the line of Kobe's. Only he played most of his prime with the kind of squads Kobe had in the post-Shaq years when it was all first round and outs and missing the playoffs.
Well said👏
Imman Cruzer Hey! Hope you’re doing good! I upload great nba content! Can you sub to me and stay active? I will appreciate your support and feedback! Stay active if you enjoy! God bless you! Thanks!✊
As a Knicks fan I liked Melo at New York. However we gave up way too much to get him mid season of 2010-11 via trade. I was into the lineup we had and build upon Stoudamire, Chandler, Gallinari and Felton. Then we gave up 3 or those 4 guys mentioned and Mozgov to get Carmelo when the Knicks could have just waited for the off-season to sign him up for free.
This disrespect would never have happen if he decided to come off the bench
Played 2013 playoffs with a hurt knee and torn shoulder as well.
How about makin a video of Eduardo Najera?? The least bad mexican player in nba and how he played for about 12 years, thanx.
Shoulda dropped the mic on “he doesn’t flop”
Thank you You go overboard with the!Melo Sanders, talking about how he was never good at all.
it is tough to see him decline. I can agree with all the crticisms tho..still a melo fan, but he needs to adapt to the new era of basketball to be effective.
carmelo was one of my favourite player back in the day when he was on the nuggets I still call me caramelo anthony
Early on in their rookie season, people were expecting a Bird/Magic type rivalry for their whole careers. Unfortunately the Lebron / Melo comparisons ended in their second years in the NBA.
Lebron became an all time great and Carmelo became the modern day Alex English, which isn’t bad, but still underachieving.
Damn, That 25-47 record comes out to a disgusting 35% of a winning percentage in the playoffs
He went from avg 22 a game last season on the Knicks to 16 a game as a third option spot up shooter role. I think he can still score 20 a game in the right system. Melo thrives with pass first point guards that look to get him in rhythm. I wished okc would’ve run more screens for melo to get him scoring off ball instead of just having him camp in one spot while Westbrook and pg13 get their iso plays.
"Melo doesn't flop" amen, bingo. Thats why i respect Melo and not Leflop
Long time Nuggets fan growing up, still love Melo hope he does well in Houston
I'm an okc fan and while he wasn't that great for us, I've always been a huge fan of him, he was fun to watch when he was on his game. I used to go to thunder home games all the time just to see melo even though the knicks were trash
I agree with u on everything but this is not it melo is overrated just cause u score don't mean u automatically a good player
When everyone calls you overrated, ur probably underrated
I really love Melo's performance on their WCF vs Lakers! Head to head clash with Kobe..
It’s crazy how he gets disrespected, there are plenty of players throughout history like him that are very good and talented players that can’t do anything to get team success and are just unlucky in their careers being in the wrong places at the wrong time and end up retiring with nothing but all star appearances and scoring titles almost like T Mac.
I see this is a partial response to Mike's video blasting Melo ;)
Even a year later i still agree
Do a video comparing Malcom Brogdon ROY stats and Lonzo's rookie stats!
Lin ghost is haunting you Melo Melo Jelo. 😂😂😂
As a long time Knicks fan not really wanting Melo from the start especially considering how much we gave up for him (we finally had an exciting team even if Amare were to still break down), we never gave him a respectable team to play with. 2012-2013 was a lucky experiment that worked. Everything clicked that year, but there was no way it was going to continue on. Even Jr Smith was playing with his head on straight and not getting into trouble! What more do you need to know based off of that statement???
I think the Lebron comparison is fair and I remember earlier in their careers how much they were compared as you said Andy. The biggest thing I agree on and is definitely understated is that Melo plays hard on offense and does not flop (although he loved to complain which maybe is justified). When he attacks he is relentless and never gives up. Now he can settle for jump shots as well and that was always the worst knowing in the 4th quarter he was not going to pass and shoot most likely a garbage contested shot.
Overall I still do not like Melo as a player especially as the lead player. However, with what the Knicks gave him, he did what he could.
Yessss thank you
