no it's that so much things happened. melo came mid season and there was no time to gel. Then the lockout happened and again no proper training camp. On top of that amare got hurt in the playoffs that year so he was playing catch up. then coaching changes and new players. Now i bet he will be back with everything normal again and they have some chemistry too.
amare is worse but he isn't a bad player. he had his own issues to deal with and hopefully should be better this season. we never had a good pg besides billups that one short time so that is why the offense was not smooth. felton should be able to fix this issue. i do agree melo needs to pass more but you can see he was doing this around april ever since the new coach woodson took over.
before melo came to new york, amare was a monster on the knicks and his supporting cast wasnt bad either. melo is a superstar no doubt about it, but there's also no question that he ruins chemistry
I know everybody misses the old amare but you cant have both guys trying to be the scoring leader, thats why it didnt work for about the two season, but under woodson last year an this year they are deffinatly co-existing producing wayyy better results, Melo can score 29ppg an amare 17-20 ppg an still be a the best foward combination offensively even better than bosh/james
yeah and i believe melo will do his best to try to gel with amare but the thing is they're both too similar players who want the elbow isolation and stagnates the offense by holding the ball. before melo amare was able to run the phx style pick and roll offense but where does melo and amare fit? in the end they're not complementary players but they are both all stars and i know they will make it work somehow, question is whether they can win a championship under those conditions
Tbh this Knicks team was better before Melo came... Melo should've came late to the Knicks , I think he came to early cuz Stoudemire was In his prime and Ig he started to suck every since he came
I would possibly agree but if melo wasn't around the knicks would be no where and the knicks would be in a similar boat the 76ers were in last year. Star players andrew bynum useless to them, that'd be the knicks with Amar'e. Pressure would be on him a LOT more to return and play big minutes as well
People seem to forget how shitty this team playing before Melo came. Stoudimire game did not take a tumble when Melo came... That off season knee surgery he tried to keep under wraps did that 2011 summer before the lockout... Billups coming with Melo in that deal was the reason he and Melo both avg. 25ppgs dipping Stats average only 1 point plus adding to the fact Billups was averaging 16.9ppg his damn self. Billups was the leader they needed at pg... THEY BEAT MIAMI WITH STATS GAME SAVING BLOCK ON LEBRON with Melo and Billups.. Too bad he was injured along with Stat when the Knicks crept into the playoffs leaving Melo alone versus a tough Boston team. Knicks had to waive Billups with his bloated contract. The lockout came and messed up everything. We went into that year with NO PG 2011-2012 cause we signed Chandler to play center when Paul was forced to stay LA under Stern's Order... We had Shumpert running point waiting for Baron Davis back to heal.. In that time... Lin emerged and the rest was history. Until he got hurt after being exposed by Miami.
And you rather have amare who is worse? Melo will help this team. no teams can't go far without a star. lets see this season then if things are different.
He'd have eventually left Denver but if he gave a damn about the Knicks and really wanted to "come home" he'd have waited until the end of the season after he became a free agent to sign with the Knicks sparing them from trading draft picks and players. But hey its all about him and getting his money.
no dude, amare cannot play with melo, look at the stats for all their games it obvious, and its also obvious that the knicks were better WITHOUT carmelo anthony. Believe it or not but the man is a ballhog, he cannot create plays or feed the ball to the post. The only thing melo knows what do is get his ball hogging 41 points a game (which does not help the team).
melo is not a ball hog.i'm sick of hearing that. he can pass,have you seen him play in syracuse? also the reason they even won 1 game vs heat was because of melo.
amare is worse? what!? if it wasn't for amare, the knicks wouldn't even be relevant. in case u forgot, the knicks wouldn't of made it in the playoffs last year if it weren't for amare. now they have melo, a man that the knicks traded most of their key players for. believe me or not, the knicks won't get any better unless they get rid of melo. or unless melo figures out how to pass the ball and create plays for his team. like i said before his ball hogging 41 points a game is not helping.
LOL, we are talking about now, not when he was in college. and wow im so sry, i guess i have to take back that ball hog comment because he won that one game against the heat. lol, get serious dude, look at the stats. the man takes most of shots per game. the only thing he knows what to do is throw up three's when ever he feels like it and drive to the basketball through 4 defenders. melo cannot help the knicks face it, taking melo was just a desperate move by the knicks and another way for cash.
maybe, antoni was a horrible coach (for the knicks). his style didn't suit the team. they had no defense and everybody was throwing up 3's instead of doing the logical move, like driving to the basket. and taking jr smith wasn't a good move either. all he does is stop 10 feet behind the 3 point line and fire it up. coach woodson will help the knicks. but its the little things that need to be fixed, such as melo. and figuring out how to get amare more active.
I liked this team so much more than the current..amare is a hero and he will always be a hero!

Amar'e was balling that season until Melo swooped in. Showing his new arsenal with his mid range game.
Truly I want AMARE return for the knicks for the veteran leadership honestly
AMARE was playing like an MVP candidate before Melo came to the Knicks
amare is the best forward/center in the league ... !
when this guy is healthy he is a beast
Fax
Mike Walczewski is a legend been with the Knicks all throughout the 90's
so elite at this point in time man!
Yes he can he did it in Den leading them to the WCF and he plays great team ball with team USA
Anybody who think this current Knicks squad with Melo isn't better than the pre Melo squad doesn't know basketball
Old AMar'e looks like he's coming back now. Been a long time coming...
STAT's the man.
More Knicks please great quality btw
Amare is still a monster don't sleep
i love all ur vids. keep em coming
I love every Knicks team video before that dumb Melo trade!!!
When melo traded, ball movements stopped, no team chemistry at all
Imagine if Giannis could knockdown his midrange like that
i like your lips
this was a better team with out melo
Shawn G fax
Shawn G they was 4 games under .500 and soft before Melo got there.They got better when he came stop it 5.
@@SDSOverfiend actually 2 games over 500. Before melo
When melo came in the garden,.it ruins the nyk..amare's career went down,..even linsanity..melo wants all the smoke for himself
That’s truly cap
VCmysterio619. You have videos of all my favourite players. dude i acutally love you
he will be back
100% agreed

Sean Baez they was 4 games under .500 and soft before Melo got there. You know nothing. They got better when he came
SDS Overfiend You right and then years later he became the biggest ball hog ever lol
Sean Baez L

hustlin and musclin
Hes a different player
I am a fan of Melo，but i have to say injure and Melo ruin Amare
4:00 Offensive foul!!!
Great performance by Amare nevertheless.

What if the PA announcer was choking when he scored.
Notice how Landry Fields forgot how to play basketball when Carmelo arrived?
He'd have eventually left Denver but if he gave a damn about the Knicks and really wanted to "come home" he'd have waited until the end of the season after he became a free agent to sign with the Knicks sparing them from trading draft picks and players. But hey its all about him and getting his money.
there was a lot of uncertainty regarding the lockout so players wanted to get contracts asap
Because the leading scorer in the league was afraid that no one would sign him. yeah right
***** Not about that. He wouldn't be able to get max contract in a lockout because season would be shortened.
Because Melo did every damn thing better than his soft ass and rightfully so. If he had a jumpshot he would've never been affected
I miss the old Amare
I think he just needs his old glasses back!
no dude, amare cannot play with melo, look at the stats for all their games it obvious, and its also obvious that the knicks were better WITHOUT carmelo anthony.
