Carmelo Anthony, 10x All Star, 6x All NBA, and a member of the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team which signified the 75 best players in the NBA ever. But if there is one thing that makes up a great player and a champion at that, is a mix of greatness, skill, and selflessness. And one of the main takes that I have that alot of people do not agree with is the fact I believe every shortcoming that was brought upon Carmelo Anthony, was due to mainly himself. And the main component that goes into his downfall as a player, starts in his time in the Big Apple, New York City. In this video I want to do a deep dive on the downfall of Carmelo Anthony and how he Ruined his Career with the New York Knicks.

You forgot that Melo was extorting NY. He said that if NY didn't trade for him, then he would go to Miami or LA in free agency so his wife could be an actress.
@@buzzerbeater3350 thats a lie kid. NY was extorting Melo
@@Chris-tv1qz How?
use this as a “melo ruined linsanity” button
Use this as your mother ruined linsanity. The knicks didnt want Lin back simple as that
@Deez lol to be fair I thought the same, melo might have been better their rookie years tho that’s it
he actually didn’t that’s just the story that the media has been pushing all these years. linsanity ended because of injuries and because the rockets offered lin a bigger contract than the Knicks were willing to match. they might’ve been right to do that after all too because lin never developed his game enough to get to that next level that people thought he could during linsanity. the nba had a scouting report on him now n while he was still a very good and imo underrated player, he just wasn’t like that fr. it’s a shame cause it’s not even all completely his fault, he played w hella ball dominate guards after the knicks
@@Beesosa3400 I did too coming off that NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP I was on team melo and the fact my old high school beat lebron in the state championship
@@jxmmykriminallive finally somebody who did some research on that topic
Glad to see someone holding Melo accountable for what he did to NY. Sure he helped the team make the playoffs a couple times but not to be good enough to contend. Mediocrity is useless in the NBA. Melo only cared about the stats and money
You sound like a 🤡🤡 Melo wanted a ring there but they didnt give him any true help
He waited way too late to try and win a ring
As he should. If you ever get to the league, chase stats and money lil bro
@@Thawalka4 nah he didnt
Melo wanted a ring too goofy and he made the playoffs more than two times
Never really thought about the fact melo had Karl, Mike d’antoni(ahead of his time with his offensive scheme) and Phil to do nothing in the playoffs. Can’t get more blessed and I think Karl was right where he had the talent to be a triple double machine but refused to go outside his comfort zone of scoring and learn actual basketball. I use to feel bad for melos career but this video was really well made on reminding me and clearing up exactly what happened
Glad to know my video opened your eyes a bit. Thanks for the comment
Dantoni will never win anything except a division with that offense. George Karl is good coach but a POS person and Phil didnt coach Melo he was an executive
Goofy 🤡🤡🤡
@@Alvini_Linguine you sound like a clown
@@C280S exactly
When Lebron. Wade & Bosh teamed up, they actually spoke w/ Melo into joining years before and had enough money on the table to make it work. The 3 planned it beforehand to make sure their contracts expire on a certain year. Melo refused to have his structured to expire the same time thinking he was more badass. We know how that worked.
Yet people feel bad for melo and saying he’s ringless lol. He chose his decisions
I feel like Carmelo is just a talented scorer that was just given the chance to score as much as he can without concern about the other important factors of defense, involving the team, elevating team mates, etc. My point to that is that there would be several players to have similar stats to him if THEY were given that chance.
Nope try again. Melo was someone special who could score, rebound and involve the team. Not anybody could just fill his role . Melo lead the knicks in all categories by the way
Just like James harden. Scores alot. But a bum and will gradually fall among all time great lists. In twenty years, Melo and harden will no longer be considered top 100 players
You might be slow in the head
You Asian I bet sadly
@@Chris-tv1qz and lead the Knicks to how many finals appearances?
Truly believe if Lin stayed in New York he would have had a great career trajectory. He might have cooled down after linsanity and not be a superstar but would have definitely been a great point guard for New York instead of guys like Felton, old Jose Colderon, Prigioni and so on. At least he won a ring as a consolation for Melo's ego.
Nope Melo never had a problem with Lin. Melo never had an ego playing with stars. Like Iverson or Porzingis so he clearly didnt care about Lin being a star. Lin was never better than Melo. So even if he stayed in New york. That would have never happened. He also didnt earn that ring. If Lin was so good. Why he didnt do good on the hornets or lakers?
@@Chris56076 Don't you think it's a bit strange they never talked as teammates throughout the year even when Lin said he tried to talk to Melo, he would never get a response. In my opinion Melo did have trouble fitting in with superstars or just good players in general due to him wanting to be THE GUY. But that's my opinion he did learn to accept his role later in his career with the blazers and Lakers but it was too late by then.
@@andyattard3264 Melo love Iverson to death so how did Melo not fit with superstars? Melo clearly worked with him but also how was it too late with the blazers and lakers? Melo did well on those teams. I dont believe Melo never spoke to Lin because Melo was the one who told Mike Dan Toni to play Lin in the first place. Meaning if Melo never said that. Lin probably would have never seen the floor
@@Chris56076 Iverson might have been the only superstar to work with Melo cause of two things. One Iverson was that good and two they got well together cause they would party most nights so they got along off the court. When I said it was too late for Melo I was mainly referring to his age, it had finally caught up with him, I'm a Lakers fan and I appreciated the work and heart he brought to the team, but it was clear he wasn't in his prime. I never really said Lin was better than Melo, I even mentioned he probably wouldn't be a superstar had he stayed in New York, but with Lin and even former Knicks teammates saying Melo and other players like JR Smith had issues with Lins popularity says a lot. And even if Melo told Dan Toni to put Lin in which I doubt as in the documentary it was Dan Toni who decided to put Lin in after Iman Shumpert got injured playing PG (yes they where that bad). It's what Melo should have done after Lin got his stardom not before that rubs people the wrong way, instead of developing a relationship maybe similar (but not exactly) like Iverson than maybe they both could have succeeded together.
@@andyattard3264 you sound crazy K.Mart and C. Billups loved him too
Hot Take: Hawks' Melo is the best version of Melo 😆
No doubt! 😭
he never suited up, but sure.😂😂
😂
and assist leader of the hawks.. leading them to eastern conference finals
Its called aging, it happens to all players. Not every player is Lebron or Cp3 and can play ar an elite level well into their mid to late 30s. It was obvious from the start of Melos career with his play style he could never win anything significant as the #1 guy with his type of play style (not very team friendly).
Never forget how jealous this dude was during the Jeremy Lin craze. He was seething! Also never forget when Billups said how Melo would be hyped when they lost in DEN cuz he & he alone had a good game but be a debbie downer when they won as a team but he didn't score over 20. Horrible teammate.
You a big goofy. Melo was never jealous of someone thats not good as him. Or he would have been jealous of Iverson, Jr smith or Porzingis. Also Billups lied on Melo so Melo already proved that to be false. Melo was a great teammate and Shumpret said it. Ill take his words before I listen to a clown like yourself. Good leader Melo was. Never blamed his teammates and always took the heat for losing.
@@Chris-tv1qz The fact that you believe Shumpert over Billups says everything I need to know about you. End of discussion.
I just felt like Carmelo was just chasing to be a star in New York. He just wanted the name brand but couldn't handle those lights like he thought he (and many other players) could.
He wanted the ring and NY his home town
@@Chris56076fck ny
I remember a game where Melo had a 50 or 60 point(i forgot which is which) and he's all happy smiling and celebrating in the bench while his team is losing. That's when i realized that this guy won't win a championship. Never liked the guy after that.
FACTS, dude was such A waste of time & money. I didn't have A good feelin & was pissed once the talks of him comin to the Garden began & was even more pissed once it happened. Worse move in Knicks History....
If he waited until his contract was up with Denver and became a free agent and signed with the next they wouldn't have had to trade away all that bench depth that they traded to get him and would have been a much better team
Which is something Amare Stoudamire hated. But if we’re being real the Nuggets weren’t about to let him go for nothing like Lebron and Bosh did that summer
I always thought it was a damn shame Melo matured too late.
tho i gotta say it's a bigger shame how Jeremy Lin got shut out from the NBA as a whole ,while still being good enough to to have Likely started over many other guards in the league ,that shit always blew my mind. I like the newer humble mature Melo, he just got there too late.
Correction: the year Melo beat the Celtics was the year that Ray Allen left for Miami (and made that clutch 3) and Rondo tore his ACL and was out for the rest of the season.
Ok but Carmelo only needs about 500pts to bump Shaq out of the top 10 and I need to see Barkley's reaction 😆😆😆
That will be a legendary day. Thank god that won’t happen tho 😭. Chuck might get assaulted if that happened
Exactly! If Melo was such a “bum”. Why is he so close to SHAQ in points
@@Chris56076 cuz he’s just a scorer. Duh. Nobody has doubted his scoring.
Great video. Melo has to blame himself for how his career ended. If he was more humble and realized going to the bench would help his team more then he might still be on a team. A lot of people will point out how Melo adjusted to the change in the NBA from iso ball to more team ball but they always site him in Portland and LA..... like he had a choice or anything. LOL. In Portland it was come off the bench or not be on the team. LA wasn't a contender at all so Melo could fall back into his old ways since they needed scoring.
it also helps that chumps never played defense, got mad when linsanity blew up in ny, gutted the kniccs' roster when traded 2 ny, refused 2 come off the bench in okc, was a bad teammate an never played defense. 🙄🙄
This remind me of stunted growth lowkey
Love his videos, shout-out to him
Knicks didnt stunt melo growth
It brings me joy as a Raptors fan whenever I hear about Bargnani to the Knicks
Dude was taking off a cliff before he was traded 😭
Lol
Amare Stoudemire was signed by the NY Knicks in free agency in July 2010.
Lebron James & Joe Johnson should've joined Stoudemire in New York, Carmelo was better waiting for free agency in 2011 and go to the Chicago Bulls! 🤷🏿♂️
Knick fan her. Melo was the prototype for Kyrie. Melo wanted to be the man. He did not what to share the spotlight. The Knicks traded a team for him. and it failed.
Atleast Kyrie can admit he couldn’t do it on his own 😭
On the note of George Karl: Dude’s a fantastic HC, but I find it hilarious that he still takes shots at Melo on twitter to this day lmao
Yeah GK is kinda odd for that one not going to lie LMAO!
The knicks have a 8 game winning streak right now with the potential of becoming 14-1 in December 2022. It's because Randle sold into the idea to run the offense through the pg Jalen Brunson and use that energy he was giving on offense being the lead on defense. If Carmelo would have sold into the idea of running the offense through Jeremy Lin we might have won a championship. It's not that Lin was the better player but he was the better player to run the offense with. Same thing happened to him when he went to the Rockets. Harden should have let Lin and Chris Paul run the offense instead of wanting to take the ball. Who knows Harden might have had a championship if he would have given his pg the ball and stepped back.
Your some what right but the big reason they are this win streak is because the team is buying into tibs system plus thibidauex is able to play his player's like Grimes and McBride ..who play better defense the obi toppin and cam reddish
Randle is still a defense liability but he is they're only proven consistent offense threat
Bro are you on drugs? Melo sold into the offense and reason why knicks won 54 games and a division title in 2013. Dont be a 🤡. You just said if Lin ran the offense. Knicks would be champions 😂😂😂😂
Honestly, teams like the Cavs, Grizzlies, or Pelicans, should sign Carmelo Anthony to a 10-day contract, or at the vet's minimum for the rest of the season. Need scoring off-the-bench and veteran leadership in the locker room, sign 'Melo for cheap.
Cavs need wing depth a guy who can space the floor and play D. Pels or the Grizzlies would benefit playing with a vet like Melo. Both of them are playing like contenders this season
@@tj5180 I think the Cavs are contenders this season too. Although, I think the East and West are WIDE OPEN (more so than any other season in recent memory) this season.
One of the best FIBA Basketball players ever
Clique punching the air rn lol
If he reacts to this, pray for me
No 🤡
He’s got the most polished scoring 1 on 1 game based on skills. Stare down midrange, dribble to post up transition off the dribble, step back shooting before it got popular, great handles and hesitation, and size to over power guards but speed to take out bigger defenders. Only thing he didn’t do often was shoot 3s, but that was a different era. Of this man played defense and played team ball, would have loved to see a Lebron / Carmelo Rivalry.
Thats what i loved about melo. He was very fundamental. He didnt have much dribble moves but relied on foot work and try to score in 2-3 moves. His shots were pure. Problem was his defense and ego.
Chauncey Billups coach now for the Portland Blazers and former teammate(Nuggets)of Melo said it best, when he stated that when the Nuggets would win a game and Melo only had 20-25 points he(Melo)was disappointed that he didn't have more points, and when they(Nuggets)would lose and Melo had 35-40 points he(Melo)would be elated almost happy that he had the stats but they lost, which let Billups know at that time what Melo was really about and it clearly wasn't about Winning or Team!!!
And it’s crazy that his own long time teammate said that and people still don’t see how Melo functioned as a player. If his own teammate that played with him for years can confirm that then it should be pretty damning just how Melo could be if you played with him
@@Alvini_Linguine only one clown teammate said that but other teammates love him so clearly Billups was lying so be quiet 🤡
Melo was never happy about losing you 🤡🤡🤡 false narratives never work kid
i remembered hearing about that
He never changed anything to win. Just kept losing. Westbrook. Harden.
Noti gang gang gang as peer to peer would say.
CARMELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
AAAAAAAAAAAAAANTHONYYYYYYYYYY

I don’t understand it for Melo. He had Karl & Mike, great players in Lin & Amare in NY, AND could have waited til free agency to sign with NY so they would have a more complete roster. He was just blinded by the worst type of greed to have all those blessings & great ppl around him and him treat them like doo doo
Watch basketball examed they broke it down mostly bad luck and ego killed him he shouls had stayed with portland.
That's the biggest problem... Lin was never a great player and that messed with Carmelo's ego. The same thing is going on in the NFL. Fans saying Tua is a great player when it's obvious he is not.
@@apex_prowler95 Lin played great tho. Can’t argue the numbers he put up. And Mike was there. If you knew anything about the history of basketball Lin was in the best case scenario in NY except for Melo being there apparently
@@michaelbarnes2126 what numbers did he put up after the 2 week run? the heat obliterated linsanity and thats why he wouldnt suit up in the playoffs against them when he claims he was 85% healthy. they woulda ripped his poison pill payday outta his hands
@@matttheknicksfan ok & your point is?
Melo is just a SELFISH player who wants the ball always in his hands, not good for any team. Not worthy to be compared to true great players like Jordan, Lebron, Kobe, Wade, Pippen, Kawhi, etc...
I can't believe that the best player to wear 15 for the Nuggets turned out to be some random Serbian in the 2nd round.
Nah i love jokic as a nuggets fan but he took us far as Melo. Until he get us a ring. He not good as Melo. All around talented is Jokic but scoring and skill goes to Melo. Being the better player early and never missing the playoffs in Denver. Jokic missed it four times
@@Chris56076 Jokić is more a team player than Melo(w). If Anthony is so much better player, why he didn't won any of MVP's? Don't get me wrong, he is great scorer, but it takes more than just a scoring to be leader of a team. He is just like bigger Iverson, good for flashy plays, not for winning.
@@Chris56076 you're out of your mind
@@sawtoothgrind1981 and your slow in the head. Im sure you never watched basketball or played it
@@Schracid Rebounding, scoring, shooting. Thats what Melo does better. Melo won more. So jokic has no rings just like Melo. Thats why I have Melo over jokic. Never missed the playoffs. Jokic missed it 4 times. Jokic gotta take the blame for that and Iverson was good for winning kid. He went to the finals and Melo had many 50 win seasons! Stop with the disrespect like he just some flashy player. He top 50 for a reason
I really hated the trade for Carmelo Anthony from Denver. Management and partly the fans (Who chanted "We want Melo") were too impatient with what we had. I really liked the lineup of Gallinari, Wilson Chandler and Raymond Felton. We gave up way too much just to have an early first round exit from the playoffs that year. Knicks could have gotten him for nothing if they waited.
I felt really bad for Amare who worked up a brotherhood with those guys too 😭. It was doomed from the beginning
I also heard stories that LaLa was pulling strings for him to go to New York so she could boost her acting career
Considering their “relationship” now. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case. The world may never know
Yeah the knicks owner made the trade kid
@@Chris-tv1qz That's true. Dolan did push for trade
Keep it up bro 🐐
Thank you, I shall 🙏
🗑🗑🗑 take
From memory, Lin never got any offer from the Knicks
I mean is this a hot take? When have we said, “The Knicks would be good for anyone’s career?” Like, no one thinks the Knicks is an organization that’s actually good for someone’s career.
It’s only a “hot take” since no one really wants to admit it if that makes sense
This video should be mandatory viewing for all Knicks fans who are just desperate to throw everything at say, Chicago, for the likes of Zach Levine. It is, frankly, incredible that Knicks management was seriously having those conversations, but one would think the fan-base would learn these lessons, eventually. In today’s NBA, you have to grow a team organically, mostly through sound draft picks. Then, you have to focus resources into their development. Current Knicks leadership hasn’t been perfect at this, but they have been far better than most franchises. Players take time to develop, and they have to be shown why the buy-in to team philosophy ultimately benefits them across the board. Right now, it’s working; Brunson is developing into a legit star and Randle has seemed to see the error in his ways. Quickley has gotten better year after year, and the Knicks were absolutely right not to squander Grimes in a lop-sided trade. They ARE going to have to trade some of these guys for a legit superstar, at some point, but fit is everything. I still don’t think Mitchell was THE ONE, and I believe the Cavs playoff fortunes will bear that out.
Melo messed up not doing 2 things. Either joining the Heat or waiting till he was a FA to then sign with NYK. As far as the Bulls go. D Rose never showed up to the meeting. Why go to a team when the star don’t want you there? As far as OKC goes. You’d expect a player he was literally a all star the year prior. #1 option on his team. To not be the 3rd option. But off the bench? How does tht sound? Stars have issues adjusting to the 2nd or 3rd option. Off the bench? Lol cmon.
"scoring 30 points meant too much to melo. he could have games where he scored 20, 22 points and we'd win the game, but he was mad. he might have 36 and we lose the game and he's in there picking everyone up." - chauncy billups
I tried to find that clip in good quality to use in my video but I couldn’t find it anywhere 😭
Damn I forgot all about that. I always wished he was more than one-dimensional.
@@arthefuture he scored and rebounded. Thats two dimensional 🤡
That was false 🤡 Melo already proved that to be wrong. Also Melo won a championship in college. Meaning he always wanted to win before stats
@@Chris-tv1qz how did he prove that to be wrong? how did he do so in the nba?
start to finish, wonderful video
Thank you 🙏
Thst Isaiah Thomas clip took me out 🤣🤣
He was becoming hated in Denver before he demanded a trade. It was apparent that he played for himself instead of the team.
You nailed it as it is... now was.
Excellent video 👌👌
They should have definitely matched Lin.
They should have kept jeremy lin and mello should have bought in to jeremy lin who was 23 at the time..TAKE NOTE the year after they traded lin the team never made the play offs and went down hill.
As a Knicks fan Melo Time here wasn't too bad. he would win a Playoff game ? Win the Scoring Title Score a Career high against Bobcats 62 pts
Can you do a video on how good of a coach is George Karl? He’s coached 4 top 75 players I think(3 for sure) and he has zero rings
@Deez I do think it is debatable but for the top picks on there that Karl coached. We have ray Allen, Allen Iverson, and Gary Payton. All of which I think deserve to be on the list.
@Deez how can it be casual when it's a list decided upon by the NBA itself? I understand some snubs were weird, but I don't think actual basketball players and NBA staff know nothing
That’s a great idea ngl
That’s a great idea ngl
Melo’s Knicks years are judged unfairly imo due to the fact he was in the same conference as 2 super teams, Celtics and Heat. Nobody really thought he could beat those teams in a 7 game series.
@30:00 Max to Molly: Did a no look pass! lol smooth 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's got one of the smoothest jumpers though. Just butter.
One of if not the best scorers of all time
Def not the best by a lonnngggggg shot. But was a great scorer.
@@nimbus9954 then please inform us who’s is?
Jordan, kobe
All he had to do to revive, or maintain his legend status was take a pay cut ( just not a max ) and go to the bulls. Jimmy rose Noah and Melo at Sf. Smh my head
The Knicks and they entire world know that they should have kept Lin
No because he fell off after those 2 weeks got then got injured then refused to play in the playoffs then left when the rocket offered him way more money then he worth
@@yourhomie7568 exactly
@@yourhomie7568 bingo
He shouldn’t have requested a trade to New York if he wanted to be a Knick he should’ve signed with them as a free agent
I can get into some much with you about Melo, i agree with your view points. I want to point out one thing to shows Melo is not a championship player. A champion does what it takes to win. Jeremy Lin not only immerged, the Knicks as a team avg score jumped, the team played as a team. Melo was asked, when he comes back from injury, (Mind you before Melo got hurt, they was destine to miss the playoff. J Lin carried NY to the playoffs, period) who is taking the last shot, he laughed and said me. A winner would say, the one most open, the one with the hottest hand etc. He refused to change his game, play defense and played selfish.
You big goofy. Melo and most great players say I will take the shot. Also Lin didnt take anyone to the playoffs but Carmelo is a championship player. Led the nuggets to the conference finals. And won a ring in Syrcause. Learn basketball kid. I bet you never played organized ball ever. Also Melo didnt have to change his game in his prime cause it helped win games. Wasnt selfish and played good on ball defense. Then when the league change. He became a spot up shooter for LA and Portland. Facts over opinion kid
@@Chris-tv1qz I already know you have a weak argument because you resorted to a personal attack. That is what limited minded people do when they have weak arguments. No, most great players say they want the ball in their hand to make the right play. At times, take the shot, at times set up the play. Case in point, MJ, how many game winning shots did he take that one 6 championships or to get them there. Do the research. MJ took every last shot before Phil re-coached him. That is when he started to win championships. Prior to that, he couldn't get passed the Pistons. On to Melo, they were out of the playoffs genius until Melo got injured. Go check the record of the Knicks and their playoff standing before and after Lin. Yep, 20 years ago, Melo got Denver into 1 conference final, oops, did I say 20 years ago, and oh, yeah, that's right, they loss. But your best argument is one playoff series 20 years ago makes him a winner, lol.. Yes, Melo had a great college career, led the Orange along with his coaches great zone defense that held teams under their avg, but congrats to the COLLEGE championship. Can we get back to his 20 year pro career which is the topic. What teammate has Melo ever made better? What year did Melo ever get more then 2 triple doubles his ENTIRE career? What year has Melo ever been on a 1, 2, or 3rd all defensive team? At what year has Melo ever avg. more then 3 assist per game? How many times has Melo been considered top 5 in voting for an MVP candidate? I can go on about points per avg in clutch time, leadership, etc. I think I've made my point on how dumb your sound. You don't know the game, you just know what you know. lol. Now, if you was smart, you'd answer my questions and prove me wrong, but you won't because it proves you have no clue. Blessings.
@Brother Watson of 1000 Watts, Watson Prods. it is weird when talking about Melo how people always mention his college championship and gold medals like ok he got the college chip in his freshman year is an accomplishment and Gold medal ok hell he was playing with other all stars miles ahead of other countries
@@shady3legend When you have to go back 20 plus years to mention his accomplishment, and not much in between, you are making my point. I wouldn't have him be my main guy, he's a great 3rd option as far as winning is concerned, but people think points are the only thing needed to win.
@Brother Watson of 1000 Watts, Watson Prods. I agree yea that was the point I was trying to make in my post, he's not a 1st option on a championship team, people always bring up those accomplishments but it really don't prove anything...people make excuses oh he had to deal with the heat big 3 well he choose not to go there and be with bron/wade...
There was no chance the Knicks were going to have a good playoffs run as long as LBJ was in the East
melos career would have been completely different if he was drafted by the pistons. on that team he would have been forced to play defense and be a more complete and team oriented player than what he became.
Oh yeah Larry Brown would’ve had that nigga on a leash like he did AI 😂
@@Alvini_Linguine lol! Carmelo would NOT have changed for any coach or team. Then, when he gets to be 34, 35, he wants people to think he's changed. Max Kellerman bought it. For what that's worth.
iso-melo......and when you have a black hole iso guy, it stagnates the offense without ball movement
There's no question Lin received racism, jealousy and animosity from other players.
This a great video frfr
Thank you 🙏
Love you Alvini
Love you too 😘
Carmelo will go down as one of the most overrated players in history and it's always the people that don't know the fundamentals of basketball that love Carmelo so much that think he's being blackballed when it's his own dam fault his career is over. His fans act like Carmelo is owed a roster spot.
I remember he said “I’m better than someone who owns a roster spot in the NBA”. Which may have been true, but dude would never play a role that was worthy of a roster spot 💀
@@Alvini_Linguine Ticket TV is one of those Carmelo fans that says he's being blackballed from the NBA because he thinks there's some conspiracy to get him out of top 10 scoring all time. He thinks every NBA team owes Carmelo a roster spot. Nobody is ever owed a roster spot.
@@MsZeitgeist85 one of the greatest. Top 50 player goofy
So yeah he blackballed goofy! Learn ball or dont speak on it
not defending melo but always same story with George Carl
What people tend to miss. Is. If not for Melo’s greed to leave Denver early. Lin would never got his chance in NY
This video is 35 minutes long but the answer was much simpler. Melo gotnold and he never had a good defensive or passing game. So his presence on court aged like milk
Melo could have waited 6 months and signed as a free agent or in a sign and trade with the Knicks. That would have made it so the Knicks could have kept there depth and build around Amare and Carmelo.
Nah it's as simple as this...he never should've signed the extension with Denver...he was supposed to be with lebron and Wade not Bosh...then he wants to go to the Knicks but the Knicks have to give up half the team to get him
I’m guessing his New York success or lack there of had more to do with Amare Stoudimire being basically injured & never the same when he did return along with his contract more so than what Melo did or didn’t do. At least he was there.
Why do they all think early on that coming off the bench is an Insult like they will never check in 😂😂
bc its a bunch of guys who have never come off the bench in their lives. They're used to being star players
If only he waited until he was a free agent to sign with the Knicks.
Knicks traded for melo. 🤡
He was a free agent
We would traded somewhere else duh he should just went to the heat before bosh his bad
@@Chris-tv1qz Yeah, they traded for him, BUT...he was going to be a free agent after the season and could have signed with them and joined a pretty decent roster. But NOOOOO...idiot Dolan wanted to make a big splash move to distract from the 6 year playoff drought. And Carmelo liked that idea. It was a stupid move, made for stupid reasons. Carmelo was a great scorer, but doesn't deserve to have a championship.
Finally someone that agrees with me lol I had this same take years ago when Carmelo got traded to the Knicks and I’m a long time Knicks fan the moment he wanted to get traded as suppose to waiting the next year when he was gonna b a free agent he couldn’t wait we gutted are whole team I knew it would never work he set back the Knicks franchise for year shoot till this day because of his decisions from the trade and to Jeremy Lin running him outta town which at that time was our best point guard untill now cause we have jalen Brunson.
Unbiased Knicks fan. Melo prevented their chances of being a competitive team and if amare was still healthy also Lin. They had a good roster and had Tyson chandler as well who was a big part on the 2011 mavs
It's really as simple as not signing over free agency and making us trade everything we had and then some for him
Dude what did those places actually become in their careers? Why do people harp on this?
Melo was just a stat chaser. Perennial loser. Literally made it to the conference finals once. As much as I don't like that clown Howard, he should've gotten then nod over Melo
Mourning, English, Dumars, Parker, & Lanier had arguments for 75 as well
One of the best players I ever watched! Scorer, rebounder, never blame teammates, always took the burden and even took the pressure of playing in New York! One of the best man. Top 40 all time
Yeah. Every fake prophet has his disciples. This is proof.
All he did was shoot alot
@@kenw2225 score alot kid and rebound
@@jerrytang3146 your mother is a false prophet. Learn basketball
Top 40? Empty stats, ball hog, stubborn. Shouldn't even be in the 75...
Hated on Lin, couldn't get over that
I think Lin made more sense to Houston than he did to any other team. Even a matched salary wouldn't compete w/ the deals in China that Houston could help him get. IF he lived up to the hype he had created. He still got a lot of that support, but he was a guy that opponents were able to gameplan against and he didn't have the tools to overcome the gaps in his game. He had a very respectable career, but NY keeping him wouldn't have changed anything and in the long run I think him moving on benefited both parties. He never would have gotten the chance to be Jeremy Lin in NY, it was always going to be Linsanity or bust.
In Portland, Melo was a model player. The players and staff spoke in his favor, saying that much of what people said about him before his time there wasn't what they experienced. Maybe the realizations came too late or maybe a coach that he drove to quit wasn't interested in entertaining a conversation with him since his skills were slipping. I definitely think Melo could still play in the league today, but he'd be eating a spot teams prefer to use for young guys that might develop into something some day. That 8th or 9th guy who comes in at the end of the 3rd, beginning of the 4th that tries to grow a lead or start a come back. He could probably still give someone a solid 8-12min a night. Its just, maybe he could be great in that role, but if you got a young guy you think could be a rotation guy in the future you want them getting that experience even if he's going to be less consistent. There have been guys like Josh Smith in his short stint with this Houston team that turned a series around after getting hot and started dropping 3s like someone else was wearing his body. A lot of championship teams have that type of guy in that role, but it could be bc they also tend not to have a lot of young guys.
Was never a fan of Melos play style. Struggled in any team setting cause he was such an individual.
Crazy this popped up right after he retired
Lmao I thought I was tripping but thats definitely a Runescape fossil island trap remix in this video
I feel bad for Melo. I modeled my game before him. He just has that massive ego that he will always be the go to guy and when he changed his ways, it was too late for him.
so you don't pass?
You are right my guy.
Melo was old school he didn’t believe in teaming up. He wanted to be win on his own.
Yes he did join stars later in his career but he was old and already close to the end. In his prime Melo would’ve never joined a super team to win
Melo was all "ME" "ME" "ME"..needless to say, always a bridesmaid never the bride.. 🤣
I think Melo took for granted his offensive skills and put little to no effort on his defensive side, thinking that the first part would be enough to succeed. But the game evolved, defense became a lot more crucial to success in the NBA and Melo never took the next step.
Maybe the offer for Jeremy Lin deal to Houston came overseas.
Not the blue berry faygo 😂
Arguably one the best individual scorer. Too bad for him basketball is a team sport.
hi pete, i'm out of job, i now willing to be bench
Point blank you can't put pressure on a guy to win a championship when jr Smith is the second best player on the team and there's a super team around. Let's get real knicks fans.
Melo was jealous New yorker Asians love JLin and there's ton of Asians there . JLin popularity was literally bigger than Melo lmao .
I say this all da time Melo was a bad fit with the Knicks he was better off joining the Chicago Bulls in 2011 in free agency or in a sign and trade with Carlos Boozer
First of all, Melo is from Manhattan. That's his birthplace, grew up in Baltimore. He went home, he didn't go to New York for the lights and glamour.
lol sure
23:43 Ray allen wasnt even on the Celtics then. Jason Terry was.
It's sucks bc I met Carmelo Anthony and his son in New York like 3 times last decade 😢
And now his son face Lebron’s son. Time goes by fast as hell 😭
Melo over Dwight is crazy 😂
At least lin gotta ring
Melo is one of many who had great scoring ability. Not many have been great 2 way players. Beside, there's no one player who has gotten to the finals alone or won the chip! As great as MJ / Lebron were, they never did it alone that's why Lebron continues to push for complementary players around him.
Imagine if melo went to the nets instead
