It’s ok for the fans to boo it’s the PLAYOFFS it’s going to be competitive let the fans have do them
They been boo’in that last ten years dummy
Bro it has nothing to do with playoffs denver fans just salty never booed a single other blazers despite dame dropping over 30 and 13 on their heads
@@JWoogieraps lol
Nothing to do with the Playoffs. He wanted out.
Theyre pathetic
You want them to give him a tribute or something during the playoffs 🤣🤣
Lol no? But to boo Melo is too much. Sorta sad this needs explaining. Just be quiet lol there isnt a option of one or another. Just dont boo for soemthing over 10 years in the past.
As if these were the only two options.
@@micahmaggio6431 Yeah it's called a job right and if you get an offer somewhere so be it! 10yrs 😭the guy is at end of his carreer too like get off it ppl
Simple. Melo wanted out of Denver (already a playoff team) to head to New York (an even worse team). Clearly just wanted the bigger market, so the fans are allowed to be upset
Wrong . Denver at the time was going in the wrong direction. We lost to freaking Utah in the first round! I would wanna leave too after just playing in the west finals
10 years ago! & SO what?! It's not like these dumbos own the team! Put your emotions into your own life instead of a grown man moving to another job.
I spent good money on my tickets, I'll boo whoever I want. Plus it's the PLAYOFFS!
Thanks!
But plz don’t spit on players or throw popcorn lol
Spending money on tickets to *WATCH* a game actually doesn't give u the right to act however you want. & They're booing him because he left, not because it's the playoffs. After giving Denver 8 years of his life, do they expect players to spend their entire career in Denver or they need to be booed?!?! That's a ridiculous mindset. You don't own the players & teams trade them all the time & no one says a word. It's a petty, petty mindset.
I bet those fans weren’t even born when he was playing with them
So they're all 10 years old or younger. OK.
@@cchurchill503 lmaooooo
Melo ain’t leave 20 years ago 😂
@@cchurchill503 them kids got some deep voices in Denver I guess 😂
Impressive you know the average age of those booing!
I believe you...
NOT!!!
They booed him and he dropped 15 points in 5 mins and then got benched until the 4th and was cold.
Booing this man is only gonna make him and the Blazers even more motivated to win
Or it could be the reverse. Melo gone try too hard and end up hurting the team lol. It's already on his mind.
@@brotherLee340 nah never melo is a pro he been doing this for 18 seasons boos don’t work in fact melo has always had his best games in hostile environments just ask the bulls
@@NACentDSTM it might not work🤷♂️. But I'm not surprised they trying it..lol. I just don't think it's that deep. They typically cheer him.
@@brotherLee340 nah they been booing him for years at this point it has no effect
So, you're saying that Melo can't get motivated without feeling disrespected?
When you play on the road, people boo you. This isnt rocket science people
It’s not about that and you know it denver is salty never boo a single other blazer
@@NACentDSTM I’m a melo fan so I know that, but hey I’m happy that Portland won tho
@@liamhall6702 facts
People complain the league is soft, but complain about fans booing the opposition...
That has nothing to do with it being soft
As a Knicks fan, I still have love for Carmelo and I'm happy he is still playing.
A lot of Denver fans like myself are happy too. That doesn't mean we won't boo him though in the playoffs after that trade demand situation
@@3Disaster187 I get it.
I continue to be confused about why Keshawn Johnson co-hosts an NBA show.
Don’t matter he’s actually the only good host on here
It's not an NBA show. It's an all-sports show. Do you say the same about WIlliams when they talk NFL?
Actually they talk about NFL too. Not only NBA
@T.R.U. Louisianimal so Shannon Sharp can't discuss basketball? What about people like Rachel Nicholas, Mike Greenberg or Stephen A who haven't played any sport?
@@mrray7169 right. Tf is he talking about?
He’s the opposing player in a playoff game. I’m sure Denver loves melo. But when he’s killing their team you want them to cheer? Lol
No. We don’t. Screw him.
@@erikwilliamsen2830 That's how you treat one of the best players in Nuggets history?
@@Uruguay182 When they force their way out? Absolutely. He brought some good times, sure, but he didn't leave on good terms. We're better for him being gone, but I'm still gonna boo him if given the opportunity.
Explain why they was booing before he even made a shot they just salty babies who don’t even have all the info
@@NACentDSTM Have all what info? He demanded a trade out of Denver. That's fine, but he's gonna get booed when he comes back. It's not mature, but it's sports. You cheer for your team and you boo the other one, especially when you feel betrayed by someone who used to be one of your own. Isn't that how it works?
They gave him a standing ovation when he came back to New York when he signed with Portland
Because he wanted to stay with the Knicks and he played there in his prime
As a Knick fan of the Melo and stat era, I can say and represent other like minded Knick fan that we will cheer for Melo and all that he done for us.
What exactly did he do? Did he lead them deep into the playoffs? Nope
Did he lead them to a lot of playoff appearances? Nope
Did he put an end to the most fun time in Knicks basketball w Linsanity? Yep.
What did he do? Really curious.
@@josereyes1148 he made the knocks relevant, he would of most definitely loved to bring a championship to ny, was loyal, took blame for a lot of stuff, handled the media with classinness, um should I keep going cause I can? You’re a typical hater 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
@@DrillTv How exactly did he make them relevant? They had one good season where they went to the second rd. Did he get people to play with him if they were so relevant? No. Only Amare who was injured wanted to play there because he took the money. In fact they were so relevant they couldnt even make the playoffs in the eastern conf. He would of loved to win lol... ohhh Your examples didnt do it for me sorry. Not good examples. please keep going until you give a good reason. Im not a hater im a realist.
Who doesn't boo the opposing team 🤷🏽♂️
As a Nuggets fan I'll say most native Denverites love Melo and appreciate his time here. We have so many transplants in the city that only a fraction of the fans remember what he did for the city and the team.
Yea. But it's the Playoffs. He can be booed like everybody else lol
@@brotherLee340 except he wasn’t so it’s clearly personal he got boos before as well so you can’t use the it’s the playoffs bull denver just salty
@@NACentDSTM I doubt it. They been better lately then they was with Melo🤣🤣. And he has played back in Denver plenty of times and they didn't boo. Fans just get rowdy during Playoffs, atleast he only got booed. Fans literally was disrespecting Trae Young and nobody seems to care.
He is a selfish player and a person. He didn’t do things for the team but for himself first and foremost
@@mrghostdog5372 ok sure smh but he made sure at least 6 of his teammates hit double figures but yea he’s selfish smh just because a player doesn’t average 8 ast a game doesn’t make them selfish you dodo smh this is the only thing I hate about melo coming in with lebron because dumb people like you call him selfish because he’s compared to lebron who averaged 3 ast more but also played pg and brought the ball down which melo wasn’t allowed to do melo was played as a big not a guard .funny thing is he averaged more ast than pg and kawhi at until he went to okc but they was never called selfish smh try playing with a bunch of d league level players and tell me your not gonna take More shots smh
I love seeing Melo succeed while people hate the guy for no reason at all 👏🏾👏🏾.
@@jstellish despite trying to trade his only other star again just like they did to a.I he didn’t leave for no reason they was tryna rebuild
Why does everyone want us to feel bad for Melo being booed. Last time I checked that guy is a full grown man, I think he can handle a little booing
Makes perfect sense, he left their franchise, it wasn't an amicable split, period, next subject
This is a guy who recently said Denver should retire his number, after forcing his way out, and getting destroyed by Jokic who wore #15. Melo didn't give Denver his all. He always had one foot out the door. Even Billups said he only cared about his stats. Denver is obligated to boo him.
Only reason they booed him was it was in the playoffs. There are many players that get cheered when they return
No they boo him in regular season too they salty af
@Colby Martinez bruh jokic is not better than prime melo smh y’all wildn now .melo would smoke jokic smh people be sucking triple doubles I swear .1. Melo has more 50+ win seasons 4 out of the 7 years 2.they both have 1 wcf final appearance so that doesn’t make sense 3.melo was in a much harder western conference with 2 dynasty teams in lakers and Spurs then there was Dirk,Mvp KG ,Steve Nash and amare ,t-Mac and Yao,a up and coming 30ppg scoring KD and Ray Allen who until recently was the greatest shooter ever. a 50 win team was only good enough to get you the 8th seed 3.jokic has freedom of play due to the new position less basketball era melo was played like a big because he averaged a double double in college and wasn’t allowed to play the point and bring the ball down even though he had experience playing point in highschool .and lastly melo didn’t even have a second star until his 4th season but ok smh it’s like y’all forgot how good melo was in Denver like he wasn’t literally being compared to jordan because how unstoppable he was. that 07 season was crazy and if he never got suspended would have averaged 32-33 ppg and his career would have been way different
@Colby Martinez denver should have been at least making the 2nd round every year with how the west been the last 5 years with 50 wins getting you the 5th seed and sometimes 4th and jokic started off with a better team than melo started off with nuggets was a 33 win team before jokic got there and they only got better by 7 games while it was a 17 win before melo got there and he turned them into a 43 win team .plus jokic had just recently made the playoffs the last 2 season melo made the playoffs every year he was there and jokic been in the league 6 years already and only made it 3.the only thing jokic has is possible mvp but that’s cuz the league and media be sucking triple doubles jokic isn’t even the best player in the league or most valuable either he really only getting it cuz voters fatigue
@@NACentDSTM I didn't know it was possible to be so wrong about so many things all at the same time
@@NACentDSTM jokic getting mvp this year as good as prime melo was he was never an mvp there
It’s good for the game. I miss the 80s and 90s when fans rooted their teams to wins. New York fans never changed.
Jay Will got a little emotional after Key said he was like god to Duke.
The media wants us all to cry one tear for Carmelo Anthony 😢
You mean that 1 guy.
Melo is on the opposite team, I thought that's what your suppose to do as nuggets fan.
not targeting specific players because they didn't spend their entire career on your team & you feel you own them. No one "owns" anyone in 2020 & fans forget that.
When Melo hit those 3’s and locked up Aaron Gordon were the Denver fans suppose to cheer LOL
Come on stop making excuses they only booed melo and they did so before he even made a shot
the two former players are saying it ain’t a big deal and fans have the right to react how they want, that’s all the validation this topic needs imo.
Listen, as a Knick fan I’m tellin you, for no reason are Knicks fans booing Melo. Lmao. Unlike Denver he didn’t leave in bad terms, even when he hated D’Antoni he still held it down
Keep up that Darko disrespect and he gonna go Kwame on them
It's a sign of respect, they aren't booing every trailblazers when they catch the ball. Those are long time fans and let them boo! Better than cheering for him
It's also because a lot of people hate that the NBA has such a large market versus small market problem and Melo forced his way out to join a larger market to sell sneakers to a city with a bigger population. And, really, ESPN in particular, but the media in general plays into making it harder for smaller markets to compete.
That was my exact reaction to the title: .....and? 😂😂😂
Why he sound like adam22 though
Bro NY will never boo Melo and I’m a New Yorker we love his time here he’ll always be loved
Dislocating your shoulder with that reach. And the KNICKS OF ALL TEAMS ARENT GOING TO BOO?
I want the drugs they got at the ESPN parties.
If 15000 are cheering and 10 are booing, guess who's going to make the news --the 15000 or the 10?
Knicks fans would never boo Melo
He's not the guy you want to boo and give any foul he can heat up in a second
The Audacity for the Nuggets fans to boo Melo in the house HE built. For 7.5 years, Melo made that franchise relevant and he led that franchise to the western conference finals and could have won it all if he didn't run into Kobe and the lakers(R.I.P. Kobe). But I'm not surprised about it either
Revisionist history. George Karl made the Nuggets relevant, not Melo. The Nuggets were going nowhere under Jeff Bzdelik and Michael Cooper. The Nuggets kept winning after Melo left. They actually came closer to beating the Lakers without Melo in 2012 and won 57 games (more than Melo ever won) in 2013. Then they unjustifiable fired George Karl, who had just won coach of the year, and Bryan Shaw ran that team into the ground.
The Nuggets were never a legitimate contender with Melo. The Western conference finals appearance was a fluke. They got lucky with seeding (won the same number of games as 3rd seeded Spurs and 4th seeded Blazers, won only 1 more game than 5th seeded Rockets), which allowed them to avoid unfavorable matchups against Lakers and Spurs. They only had to beat the 7th seed and 6th seed en route to the conference finals and then lost to the same Lakers team they lost to the previous season.
I only boo the players I cared about.
my name is Alan Hahn and I've never participated in athletic competition before in my entire whole heckin life
Every players have they're own decisions. Man play his heart out went he was in Denver.
Denver didn't pay him enough but he deserve way better than $60 millions in 5 yrs contract and Knicks pay him over $100 millions 5 yrs. Everybody deserve more dollars raised, you can't work in a company over 6 yrs and no raised. Melo is Melo. He deserves respect 👍 from Nuggets fans 🙏❤🙏.
Who cares if they booed him. He can handle it. Its what fans do. He DEMANDED OUT (while they were contenders mind you) for New York... I applaud the Denver crowd.
Real knicks fan will never boo melo NEVER
As A LOYAL KNICKS FAN HE WILL NOT BE BOOED !!!
They act like he left them high and dry. They ended up getting Jamal Murray out of that trade and they still bitter.
He won squat in Denver and forced himself out. Where is the problem with booing????
Crazy no loyalty for melo he put em on da map
Having jokic and Murray on the nuggets now and watching them improve on both sides of the ball every year shows how much of a loser melo was. Only cared about his 25 a night. 15 is getting retired in Denver for jokic.
Colorado fans are fans of their teams forever, we're not bandwagon fans. So yes you left over 10 years ago but we're still the same fans from 10 years ago.
As a Knicks fan and Melo my fav player of all time I can say.. he will never be booed is New York
He WONT!
Right, and he left ny to try get a ring in okc yet fans don't boo him...
Pretty much almost the same thing that happened with VC/Toronto relationship after he went to New Jersey.........but since a tribute package back in 2014 the fans have forgiven him minus a few still holding a grudge
Hopefully for Melo's sake Nuggets fans can let it go
This was different because they left him out of top 5 nuggets of all time
Nope, he was left out of the top 5 FAVOURITE nuggets of all time,which is completely different, and you can’t fault a fanbase for not liking a specific player, just because he’s one of the most recognizable players to mainstream media, don’t forget mainstream sports media is about creating and manipulating false narratives for clicks and likes, especially ESPN.
@@joaopinheiro8330 every young nba player today says melo was there favorite player witch means he’s a favorite but ok
@@omrialexander4981 well that might be due to some nostalgia, but you are conflating your mainstream nba fan, to a specific team’s fanbase which is very different.
Portland boo'd Lamarcus Aldridge when he came back to Portland after he left for the Spurs. It happens. We get angry when we get rejected. But like us with LMA, i know Nuggets fans still love Melo.
They booing Melo and they miraculously got him out of sheer luck thanks to the Pistons being slow in the head. He made y’all relevant in one rookie season
Im convinced the fans were either out of town or were born after 2010, playoffs or not.. Thats wild he made Denver scary at one point.
Lol Denver was never scary. They had that fluke season when they got lucky with the seeding (exact same record as the 3rd seed Spurs and 4th seed Blazers, won only 1 more game than 5th seed Rockets) and consequently avoided the most difficult matchups (Spurs and Lakers) in the first 2 rounds. They only had to beat the 7th and 6th seed and then lost to the same Lakers team they lost to the year before. They actually won even more games after Melo left. They came closer to beating the Lakers in 2012 without Melo and won 57 games in 2013 (more than they ever won with Melo), but only got the 3rd seed and drew a bad matchup (Warriors). They got upset and George Karl got fired.
When an Athlete forces his way out, he's not thinking about the team or his current fan base, that's why fans boo. I mean, look at what the Nuggets got in return for Melo. Look at what the Rockets got back for Harden. Pennies to the dollar. When a team makes a trade, that IS for the betterment of the franchise which favors the fan base. Of, the reaction of the fans is obvious. Don't make it sense as if the players did nothing wrong to the fans. They did. They don't owe anything to the fans, but the fans don't owe them love either if the player decides to be selfish.
Fans boo when you leave cause you wanted out of the city. If the team trades you (without you forcing the trade), we know you had no control over that
?? Why shouldn’t he want out they was gonna trade Chauncey just like they did to a.I to rebuild you think melo wants to stay in his prime in the stacked west with no other star
@@NACentDSTM They won more games without Melo. They weren't rebuilding. After Melo left, they came closer to beating the Lakers in the lockout shortened season (went down in game 7). And then they won 57 games in 2013 (more than they ever won with Melo). They didn't rebuild until George Karl was unjustifiably fired despite winning coach of the year and Bryan Shaw ran them into the ground.
@@NACentDSTM I was just speaking in general, replying to the general statement made in the clip
@@UHcougs22 ohh ok cool I was just saying he had a valid reason to is all my b if it came across some type of way
@@NACentDSTM Yeah it's all good bro, I agree with what you were saying! There's good reasons to leave if the team isn't surrounding the player with good talent or is just a shitty organization. I'm a Houston native and I totally get why Deshawn Watson and JJ Watt want to leave. I wouldn't boo them lol. Totally different scenario with James Harden though
New breed of fans I swear they boo’d kd the other day and somebody else too not sure. I hope the players use the boos as fuel to play better.
The complaint is someone getting booed by the fans of the opposing team in the playoffs?
That someone is the best player in the opposing franchises history
Except it wasn’t that Denver fans been salty and they didn’t boo when any other blazers touched the ball
This is what’s wrong with these sports talk show
If this was a Pokémon game.....
Jokic using Psybeam on Carmelo. Now confused AF.
Carmelo: Hurt himself on confusion
Should they aplaud him for beating their team??
It's their mouths they can do as they please! Fake outrage
Whenever Keyshawn speaks, i just roll my eyes. Worst basketball takes ever.
Alan Hahn is the new Zubin.......
Not complaining as this white guy as a way better host than Zubin was, but what happened to Zubin?
"The moment you reject them,
they feel hurt":
Duh.
Hahn solo obviously didn't live in Denver when Melo forced his way out. And Melo sure is changing the narrative when it comes to his time here. Thirdly, like Key and JWill said, it's the playoffs. That being said, when Melo retires, his name will be raised up to the rafters in whatever the Pepsi Center/Ball Arena will be called at that time, and the fans here will cheer their faces off for him.
They would never boo JR Smith in Denver.
so they want the NBA games to be softer??
booing an opponent in a Playoff game is questionable?
He obviously doesn’t know New Yorkers. We celebrate the greats. Melo did a lot for us
Yep if he wasn't public about trade and wanting to leave Denver he wouldn't get booed it could have been done behind closed doors, Denver fans used to love Melo some still do, so it was a knife in the heart when they found out he doesn't care for them.
Bruh how can y’all be so dumb it wasn’t about the fans it was about the management trying to get rid of his second star again like they did to a.I to go younger why do you think Chauncey was part of the ny deal
I'm a huge Melo fan, but in Colorado we feel disrespected by him. We don't care that he choose to leave, what bothers us is that he has never really said that he was thankful for his time here. All he ever really talks about is about how much he could have won if he played somewhere else. We built good teams around him, but the West was just stacked with too many great teams, perhaps Nuggets could have won something if they played in the East instead.
He had his chance to be the greatest Nugget ever, no question, but he took it for granted. Now there is someone taking over that spot and is even wearing is number.
I agree people of Colorado will always remember this
they must not remember the GSW fans booing the GM & OWNER & NATE MC after trading away..... Monte Ellis
It ain't that deep. It's the playoffs, of course they will boo
Probably cuz he left them and angled for 2 years to go the Knicks. Why is this a surprise? Plus it IS the playoffs. This is the first time since Melo left Denver that he's faced them in the postseason
Yea, but to boo someone for something over 10 years in the past is a bit much. Yea, he can handle it. But it's a bit petty and random lol, dude made that team relevant again when he was there.
The stakes is higher than normal
It's not that Melo left the Nuggets, it's HOW he left and his attitude towards our organization as a whole. And for what, the New York Knicks? They've been the trash for the better part of the last decade when he was on that team. That's why we boo him and why we laugh at him. He thought he was too good for us because we weren't in a big market, now where he at? What's he got to show from the Knicks to now?
Derrick Rose with the Bulls got booed
Carmelo is the biggest hater of all time. He will always be known for driving out a teammate in new york and calling another players contract “ridiculous.”
Stop it lol
Not James Harden in Houston🤔
He forced out of a playoff team, because of Lala, while George Karl was battling cancer.... Seems real valid to me
Melo sounds hurt about the booing
A lot of you commenting 'he's getting boo'd because it's the playoffs" don't know what your talking about. In the playoffs, why aren't they boo'ing the entire Blazers instead of just Melo? Denver fans are still salty . Too much sodium in their McDonald's Chicken McNuggets meal, I'm telling you
Exactly what I said people acting like nothings there and it ain’t personal
He should be booed a good player who plays ME Ball, look at the Knicks 2016 roster and you’ll be shaking your head
Why is everyone in their feelings over this?
Because its disrespectful. Do the miami heat still boo lebron? Do Toronto still boo Vince carter?? No
The Pistons took Darko, let it go already. They got what they were seeking (the Ring), and there's no guarantee that they ever touch a Ring, had they drafted Melo.
Ofc he gonna get boo’ed he’s Melo HE’S ONE OF THEM
Etf is he talkin bout, of course they boo'd him, HE FORCED HIS WAY OUT, think he wasn't gonna get boo'd ? That's nonsense
For the first time in NBA history the 8th,7th,6th seed will all progress to the second round. Unbelievable.
Hasn't even happened yet tf you talking about
After one game?
Jazz beating Memphis
I remember 2 years ago when the magic and nets beat the top 2 seeds in game 1, even last year lakers lost their game 1 in the first two rounds. Game 1s are the most competitive games because the adjustments aren't made yet. It fools casual fans every year.
its like this host isnt a sports fan
Or maybe they were trying to get him out of his game.
Why are you guys acting like Denver fans are supposed to show Carmelo love. The first chance he got he ran to New York. He wasn't loyal to us why should we be loyal to him??????
Booing a king in his Castle smh
Players hate when fans speak about the games because we never played. Well I hate when players speak about the fans and they have never been fans🤣🤣. We don't think we 'Own' players. We just love our teams more than the players because the Logo is more constant. Players leave all the time. 🤷♂️. Being booed in the playoff is nothing serious. He is own the other team.
They did it again after the loss
Melo > Haters always gonna hate
Disrespect
How key got ear rolls 💀
They aren't real fans it's as simple as that
