This ish is therapy for Knick fans that are rooted for this team. Always felt like the management was working against Melo. He was a true professional to the press, but this validates how Knick fans felt - he had the same energy but couldn't show it.
@pharma2546 Idk... I think every team would take 25/7/3 in a heartbeat... I won't compare it to Lin because he was a Knick and doesn't deserve that, but if you watched 82 games and playoffs... Melo was not the problem.
I love listening to the real ones who played the game versus the media. yall gotta understand, these are regular people who love to hoop 🔥locker room talk amongst men.
Melo, I am the same age as you. 2003 High school. I played football. Man, I never met you but I want you to know that I feel you deserve all the success you've had man. I have a son too. I love what you represent and I wish you nothing but success, healing, and love my man. Alsways enjoyed watching you ball and I love seeing that you're already a media mogul, but authentic. Much love bro.
@9:20 melo really hit on something that i feel doesn't get discussed enough. the amount of teams that have traded really good role players, giving up on seasons etc to bron instead of all the teams they couldve done the deal with is actually insane.
@ the league basically robbed him of rookie of the year and give it to Bron, ppl don't wanna hear it but Melo was just as good and better than Bron coming in, just so happened that the league been promoting Bron since high school and had him as the next Jordan, so they had to do everything to make him that guy. Lebron entire career has been scripted from going to Miami, the 3-1 comeback, and the bubble ring.
@@SammyJay-Fredthank you bro, Melo was levels better than bron coming in. If we’re being for real, the cavs should’ve took the dude who just won a championship in college and has shown he’s a more well rounded and polished player who’s shown he can play in a team framework. But ofc they had to have the hometown hero in his origins, perfect script
That was probably the first time he truly understood that first and foremost, the NBA is a business and that every team is not actually trying to "compete". Depending on how you look at it, the league really protected Bron from Melo. Ain't no way in hell Detroit really passed in him for Darko, and that Shump and JR trade never made sense.
Damn as a Knicks fan it hurts to hear. Glad they finally talking about it though. The squad with Melo, Jr, Amaré, Tyson, shump will always be my favorite Knicks team
I wouldnt be able to sleep at night knowing all i had to do was join bron in miami and i would at minimum have 2 rings,those 2 rings would have taken melo from a first ballot hall of famer to the discussion of greatest sf ever.
@@MIGGYME1honestly I don't think it moves the needle any more for him. Armed w 2 championships, Melo still has the same narrative, media probably throws more dirt and give him the Durant in Golden St treatment.
I was hell of tight as a Knick fan when they traded Shump and JR Smith. They are part of #knickstape and played well with Melo as well as rest of the squad. To trade them was very wild, especially JR who had a six man of the year award as a Knick.
When I try telling folks what LeBron James had to deal with playing with folks like Mario Chalmers, Imam Schumpert, JR Smith amongst others in order to win chips, they don't comprehend. King James' ability to incorporate teammates in the overall scheme without a system like the Triangle is what makes him the GOAT.
People don’t understand that them final losses all but 1 wasn’t really all his fault. You had 38/39/41 percent 3pt shooters who couldn’t handle the spotlight. You guys like Hill who missed free throws guys bodies fell apart. Think about the guys he beat previous seasons now teammates by trade you think they really determined to win and watch one man get credited
Melo is in the HOF so a championship doesn't matter ÿes a championship feels great but being in the H.O.F cements he's legacy, ppl can't remember bench players on championship teams but they remember HOFamers.
I was at that game in Memphis. First time I ever had floor seats. Melo, Shump, & Smith all went off the floor one by one. “I WAS BEYOND PISSED!” For that reason I’ll never get floor seats again! 😩😩😭😂
Light Skin Man won that year not because you let him, because K Love was cheap-shotted and Ky blew his knee on a knee from Klay. When Cavs came back whole, Warriors lost and called KD.
they were the 7th seed and stoudemire was hurt(if i recall correctly). they needed melo. the problem was the moves after the trade. they botched the billups situation. they kept stat for wayyy too long. then they follow up and get fleeced for bargnani. if i was the gm, plan a was to get cp3 instead of tyson chandler. plan b would have been to get rondo when the celtics got rid of pierce and kg. it shouldnt have been thaaaat hard to replace wil chandler, gallo and mozgov.
@ Amare wasn’t hurt when the trade was mad…The problem was the trade, it forced us to give up assets that could’ve been used to make other trades and/ or have a stronger overall roster…Melo took it as an insult That we didn’t want to give up certain players to acquire him so his camp started leaking that he’d sign with Brooklyn…Due to that Dolan forced Donnie Walsh to make the trade
After i watch the pod i did my googles yo they got back pepsi and a chooped cheese for rotating pieces in a championship jr turned himself into quite the shooter and injured shump was serviceable decent the could have kept them tf new york was on
Fuck a pt 2, we need a whole limited Knickstape podcast series with Melo, Shump & JR (or just JR & Shump if Melo too busy with his podcast) I know they have plenty more Knickstape stories to tell
You knew the Knicks F’d up when they fired Mike Woodson. That man coached them to the 2 seed in the East, they had the 2nd best defense in the league behind the Bulls, JR won sixth man of the year and Melo was runner up for league MVP. They fire that man to bring in Phil Jackson who didn’t even want to be there and he brings in Derek Fisher and Kurt Rambis to coach, neither of which has never coached at any level prior to getting the Knicks job. They were definitely out to sabotage Melo.
Melo is right tho. Why would you send those 2 to lebron? Like that made no sense. But ggz. I feel his pain. Those the only 2 that would ride and die with melo on the court.
Don’t know if you’ll see this or not, but Melo I’ve been a supporter of your game since oak hill. A finals ring doesn’t define you and AI that’s just how great you both were on the court. I’m a New Yorker that doesn’t like any NY team accept the Yankees, but when you had the blue and orange on I rooted for you B! I’m proud of the man and father you are. A lot of people really don’t know if the great works you do. I salute you black man, and may God continue to be with you and your family. Oh yeah, Bron is Bron, but even Bron knows he ain’t Melo.
For context, I've only had 3 favorite players in my 38 years. Allen Iverson first and foremost then jn present day I'm rolling with Dame Lillard but Melo was my guy from his first college game against my hometown Memphis Tigers. With that said, me and my brother were 4 rows from court, dead center the game he made the game-winner over T.A. I almost didn't get to witness it because I nearly incited a riot, arguing and talking shit to the home crowd😂😂😂😂 They called me all kinda "Judas" "traders" and more for cheering for Melo/NYK😂😂😂
We share 2 of my all time 3 favorite players ever. Its crazy u commented this cuz i wuz dead ahh jus thinkin bout this shi today. But my 3rd player is Tracy McGrady
Melo should’ve came to Chicago! Chicago was on the list of his teams too. They was offering him nice $(not as much as the knicks), but he would’ve gotten paid and probably won a chip.
“Oh now you over there with them you happy as hell”😂😂😂😂😂
“Oh thats what we doin bron???”😭🤣🤣melo was mad🤣😂😂😂
