I got introduced to Carmelo Anthony while watching Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide when I was a kid. After that episode was over I immediately looked him up and started to watch him play, and he was a walking highlight reel. He was electric with the ball and always brought the best out of his teams. Congratulations on a great career, Melo. Go have fun in retirement
So glad you did this, carmelo has zero weaknesses. Nothing he can't do on the offensive end, and if he gets hot he's not missing jump shots. Smoothest player between him and Mcgrady is hard to say sometimes. Mcgrady in 03 was just surreal tho
Nah bro.....you reaching. Melo is a beast but wilt, Kareem, Jordan, kobe, Karl Malone, KD, even Bernard king are better scorers than melo. Which is cool because they’re all time great scorers.
Greg Popovich: I would take Carmelo in a heartbeat... He has the answer for every defense. I’m not worried about his defense. That’s all you need to know.
@@bakothegreat6986 KD may be the most efficient scorer ever (He’s 7ft with an even greater wingspan) but he’s not the most talented-his post game is limited. T-Mac in Orlando had the entire offensive package but relied heavily on his athletic ability as opposed to skill/technique, which ended up crippling his back. Whereas Melo’s still playing b/c he relies on skills over athleticism to get buckets.
That west finals was literally the battle of the nba champions, whoever won that series would win the nba championship. So sad that was his best playoff performance, I wish he made more deep playoff runs.
Except for Roy Hibbert when he rejected Melo's overrated ass in the 2013 playoffs and unofficially closed the door on his career as a Knick. Lmao. Please.
It's actually insane how during these seasons (nuggets) and 2012 (knicks) people were comparing him to top 2-3 in the entire league. Now it's like people act like he wasn't even talk about when it comes to greats
Great content as always max! This is by far the best NBA highlight channel on youtube. I know these take a ton of effort and I'm sure you're busy, so I know you can't get to everything, but here a couple of GOAT SZN's I'd love to see if you could find the time! 1. Chris Webber 2000-2001 with the Sacramento. 2. Chris Bosh 2009-2010 with Toronto. 3. Jason Richardson 2005-2006 with GSW. 4. Gary Payton - 1999-2000 with Seattle. 5. Rasheed Wallace 2001-2002 with Portland (bonus points for every clip of him getting a tech lol)
I hope Melo gets to play in Denver again. Although he was way past his prime, his wisdom and experience will bring a difference to new stars on the team like Jokic, Murray, and MPJ.
Best pivot footwork the game has seen in a long time if ever. Melo in his younger days had such a silky smooth jumper it’s crazy he didn’t win a chip. He was a serious problem
Basketball today really is a what have you done for me lately thing these days. People throwing shade on Melo for years. They just forgot how good he is…we remember
For what Melo lacks in explosive and makes up with a silky smooth touch from 3 to the paint. With one of the quickest first steps, with the body and height to finish with the trees
If it wasn‘t for Kobe, he‘d be a Champion by now. Such a brillant „Pick your Poison“ Player. Kobe was on a Mission though. He averaged 30-6-5 in the Playoffs that year.
People don't understand Melo averaged 25 for 15 straight years man! Chris Mullin made the Dream Team and had 5 years of scoring 25. Put that into perspective!
They don’t know the quickest 1st step, the quick 2nd jump, the legs to dunk on your head along with the handle and ability to score from anywhere on the floor the most versatile scorer in NBA history along with KD, Kobe, Jordan, and later on Lebron developed his offensive skill set .... could post up take u off the dribble or shoot in your face...the defender didn’t even matter ...artest, Tony Allen, Shane Battier, Bruce Bowen, everybody was getting that work
His biggest mistake was taking the knicks money and not going out in free agency and look for a great team to play with in his prime. He was loyal like Iverson and it cost him titles. Ppl forget he scored 20 plus points for 14 seasons. First ballot hall of fame just based on that alone
These kids now a days don’t know how nice Denver Melo was. One of my favorite players to watch growing up
FACTS!!!! HEZO MELO!!!!
@SK104 I wish I got to see all the ogs play at their athletic peak or in their prime I'm glad yall got to see that

I love using that throwback 2k team with him, Iverson and JR.... k Mart
I never watched him in his prime so I looked this up and I’m really not impressed
Melo put in work that season. That playoff series verses Kobe was fun to watch.
Kobe reactions to Melo scoring😂 you don't miss?
Melo vs Kobe was pure art.
Kobe reactions after Melo scored was hilarious.
Istg He Had Me Rolling 😂@@dmpdagamer
The best Triple Threat scorer I've seen, during my generation. When he has a live dribble, from a stationary position, you were at Melo's mercy.
You ever seen that video at Team USA practice...where it's just Melo scoring on the whole team from Triple-Threat?
Melo was the goat of losing in the 1st round of the playoffs
Which was it, triple threat or live dribble?
@@ctwwtc8761 Naw that crown is for my boy T-Mac. Melo made it out 1st round 3 or 4 times in his career.
@@boombenjamin92 unfortunately that boy tmac could do wonders, but apparently the playoffs always had a way to screw things up for him

Top 3-5 scorer ever, top 3-4 post scorer ever, top 1-3 Iso scorer ever. People need to understand how great Carmelo career is😁🔥
Lmao damn nigga where kd n Kobe at den??
@@jaycatch3397 Kd and Kobe are also top 5
Definitely a great power player to watch
@Zach Altif bro even at the SF position you have Lebron, KD, Tmac, even Paul George is just as better offensively and a much better defensive player

Nobody in nba history can guard prime melo
Lebron
@@WankFrest 😭😭😭 that’s a joke… I’d hope?
One of the most gifted scorers of all time, and a nightmare for any opponent. Melo might not get the credit he deserves but his peers know the deal

Still watching 💪💪💪 September 29, 2024

This is by far one of my fave seasons from him. Great work
One of the purest scorers I've ever seen....
The speed of his pull-up was problematic 🔥🔥🔥and he was fast as lightning off that first step
ARTIST AT WORK
Melo shot was pure
I wish Carmelo and Barkley Get at least 1 Championship Ring , They deserve it . uNDErrated Player !
Can you do a “ISO” Joe Johnson highlight reel
You’re a legend for suggesting this💯
Those '07-'09 seasons were quality.
Joe was slept on 🤦🏽♂️ but he was KILLIN!!!
Most underrated all-star EVER!💪🏀
@@Ginga yup. That was peak "Iso" Joe.
Thank you Melo❤ He gave Denver a chance and now we honored his legacy with an NBA Title
Man that pullup jumper is so quick! He stops on a dime and it’s so effortless! Great video!

Favorite version of Melo
Top 5 pure scorer of all time EASILY. Nobody could fuck with Melo from 2005-2015
Except for Roy Hibbert when he rejected Melo's overrated ass in the 2013 playoffs and unofficially closed the door on his career as a Knick. Lmao. Please.
MELO 2008-09 was COLD🥶🥶🥶
I need some more goat szn uploads
Still on top of his game w the Portland Trailblazers 🔥🔥
Unguardable, fell in love with Melo when I was middle school! Thank you Melo!!
2nd favorite player of all time behind the Mamba, Melo played with so much smoothness
It's actually insane how during these seasons (nuggets) and 2012 (knicks) people were comparing him to top 2-3 in the entire league. Now it's like people act like he wasn't even talk about when it comes to greats
I could never get over how he combined speed , strength , finesse , & power , fav scoring style ever
Watching Melo that season was like watching Roy Jones Jr in his prime clean out the division.
09’ Melo had no equal. He was legend!
#stayme70
One of the most complete scorers ever.
On one on one , and isolation high post plays , probably the most letal scorer of all time , pure class , what a player melo

I hope Melo gets to play in Denver again. Although he was way past his prime, his wisdom and experience will bring a difference to new stars on the team like Jokic, Murray, and MPJ.
Not gonna lie just thinking about melo and jokic on the roster seems so nice rn.
Sadly he retired and nuggets didn’t need his wisdom or experience
Best pivot footwork the game has seen in a long time if ever. Melo in his younger days had such a silky smooth jumper it’s crazy he didn’t win a chip. He was a serious problem
Dude was a walking bucket💯
🔥🔥👍👍 I personally requested this one a few weeks ago....appreciated
Yung Vintage Melo, He was an all-around consistent scintillating scorer
He was a bad man 🔥
Was JUST talkin bout this, needed this 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Max on his grind and I love it!
I really thought they was gonna win a chip that year.
One of the most prolific scorers of this decade
i love how when he shoots a jumper he doesnt just let it rip as fast as possible, he stares down his defender first every time
Imagibe how a DENVER CARMELO would do in today's NBA thats guard driven and scoring driven! Jeez!
Worth coming back to this>>>
Bro you are a LEGEND for this! Denver Melo is my favorite and people need to remember how much of a killer he was back then🔥🔥 Great job man!!

been waiting on this 🙏🏼

1:50 the sound of the rim after that Mid range is music to my ears
I still remember scoring 15/15 3 pointers with melo on 2k8 on the hardest mode winning $20 against my friend when I was 17 years old lol
