Would Carmelo fit in with the Lakers?
Yeah on the practice squad
cousindaddy 1 😂😂😂
Let's also remember that Melo snubbed us when we did want him! Keep it Me70 and tell him to continue to kick rocks...LA don't need him!
Lebron just wants a scapegoat for when he loses again like he did with Jr Smith last year and Kevin love the year before 😭
No way
they didn't lose Ariza and Luc because of Melo. they lost them because of CP3 Supermax
BuckNasty fr man...
Ariza was gone as soon as FA started. Before Paul's deal was even being negotiated
@michaelzachary00 But it was safe to say that Ariza wouldnt get 15 Million from the Rockets.
+ CP3 Supermax and Capelas Contract took away any flexibility they had so Houston wasnt able to replace Ariza or Luc
Overpaid cp0 rings...
💯
Melo didn't wreck the rockets. Chris Paul's contract did.
Jervis Flowers But they can’t blame their big star, for wrecking their cap, so blame the guy in decline.
The rockets would be in so much better shape if they didnt givr CP3 that contract....
Cp3 chumped the rockets into paying him, their paying for broken promises from a fallen king
@sportstalkwithzo3707 Fallen King? He was never a king in the first place.
Amin
That avengers trailer tho
barry allen FR!
barry allen 🔥🔥🔥🔥😁😁😁
See the trailer for Mortal Kombat yet
How dare you Barry!!! That is your enemy
Damn rights, along with the GoT S8 teaser.
The chemistry of these 3 are undeniable
Wade's also 3 years older than lebron and melo though, put some respect on his name
@DarkestNights wade got i lot injury its not like lebron is iron man jejeje
Bryan Sung Age factors in body durability
@golddace6561 Lebron is Iron Man because of his dedication to the weight room and nutrition.....D wade doesn't even look like he lifts....Melo either.....if Melo had Bron's work ethic and discipline he still be a max player at 34
Wade should had hung them up 2 or maybe 3 years ago, and melo only want the money , he stop playing hard years ago but want the superstar minutes and treatment plus money. He's just been the man since junior high and that's hard to accept small minutes and off that bench when u was and was told your the man your whole life. I can relate but he's got to accept a new role and just adjust.
wades still a top 3 scorer on a playoff team though...off the bench in 24 minutes a night...dude could easily be 6th man of the year if Miami wasn't so injured ...hate when people act like hes done..hes done on defense but his offense is still solid
'beep, beep, beep...' lol
“He’s not Melo no more he’s Carmelo”
Dead! 😁
Sanitation truck great analogy
"I love LeBron. I want LeBron tonight." - Skip Bayless
He didn't think that through, did he?
Sus Bayless
Moist Bayless
He said he “needs” him..that’s worse lmao
Obito xshinobi Cool story
😂😂 2:06 Broussard describing Michael Beasley
We have a new oculus commercial 🤦🏾♂️. Oculus must be paying some big money 💰 🤷🏾♂️
We used to say "heckey naw" in Chicago too
I always watch these an hour earlier on some Korean channel lol
This aged well
This is the Allen Iverson situation all over again....
SMH...........DAMN SHAME
explain please
Hate too say it, I agree
Well iverson did play with melo, maybe melo learned from him? Lol
Same kinda player too.
I just love listening to Chris whether he is repeating the topics on The e Herd, Undisputed etc
They need to go ahead and just add my man Chris to the show he’s on every day and always does a great job so 😂
Jalen Carter Give him his own show. They can cut Uncle Whitelock and give Chris his time slot.
Doctor Cthulhu 100% agree would be here for that
Jalen Carter great job really he’s one of the media fanboys..
He has his own slow with Rob Parker...is just a matter of time til they get it on tv
Scarcity creates value
The comparison to Beasley was on point
11:42 Skip: “I love lebron ... I want him tonight”
THERE IT IS FOLKS FREUDIAN SLIP
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Pause! Dwight Howard is all ears right now, though.
Just Like KD said Lebron Fan boys in the media
Licking his lips too after
@chrismcphail5738 KD should be glad he doesn't face the same scrutiny as LeBron.
11:36 lmfao skip sounds like a little kid 😂
Lebron's just trying to get his buddy employed
Yup!! Bron is trying to be Captain Save A Bro
Lol get back to work steve
Your hairline is wild crazy lmaoooo
Ain't nothing wrong with that. Show the homie some luv.
Bron is saving face, he doesn’t want melo 😂
Who else is here after melo went to the lakers in 2021?
this video did not age well
Sharpe almost got a case a dew back on the spurs lol
Dwade is averaging 15/4/4 on 38% from 3? What they talking about, "he done?"
Slime Peso Those are solid numbers for someone who's 36.
And Wade at 33yrs still way better. 2015 he lead the Heat to the playoffs. Without Wade that year they were 1st round exit. Anyone remember when he single handedly destroyed the Hornets and that purple guy in the front seat? 🤣
Dwayne is done. He has to do everything he can to just to put up those kinds of numbers.
Bruh
He is done, mentally and physically he is almost at his limit. He had a great run and im proud that he knows this is his last. Unlike other dudes still holding on to the league
12:20 Huh! Hahaha, love the guy!
I see Chris I press “like”
Chris NEEDS his own show. Cut uncle Whitlock and give him his slot.
He has a show, its just not heavily aired
FAAAXXX
Go go go go
Keep on running
LeBron + carMelo = LeMelo
Goat👌👌👌
3:59 Shannon slick called Melo trash. LOL
Who’s to blame now on the rockets? I thought it was all Melo’s fault? 🤔
CP's supermax is to blame
@BigKrisco this didn’t are well
HECCKKY NAOH! Lmaoooo
Jenny on a Friday 🙌🏼
Lawd she was looking fine today
Damn.... Such a show it was!
Melo had his chance to be a Laker when Kobe tired to recruit him years ago. Melo chose the money on a bad knicks team. This is Karma for turning down Tha Lakers now Noone wants him.
He still has money tho@exillityclappz3675
Melo chose the money and play on his hometown. He could have won a ring a multiple times but instead chose the money. To be honest i really think melo had too much confidencr that he can win a chip on his own since he won at syracuse. Sadly he didnt, but hey he got paid.
Melo and Kobe would’ve been a horrible fit lmao
he's from baltimore! nyc is not his home town. spread the word.@todro8410
I always said he 🏃after da $
Chris is great for the show !!!!
I think melo can still play for 2 teams in particular. Charlotte needs to get someone who can score other than Kemba, and Memphis still successfully plays a slower melo style offense, he can take Z-Bo's old role getting post buckets and their Defense is good enough to hide him. And both teams will be on the cusp of the playoffs and if they don't make it, big deal, so why not see if melo can be that extra spark.
Ace PhalousTV those teams aren't competing for a chip. No use going there.
@ClaxtonBay123 in that case it's no point to go anywhere but to the warriors.
Hey that memphis explanation really does make sense. Imagine a slow paced grit n grind team with a player like melo taking shots. That would be nasty if he can do it.
@todro8410 I think Memphis is the best option and the team that could benefit most, they could actually surprise people like a few years back when zbo was still there, except melo is a rich mans zbo. And they don't have much young talent for him to get in the way of, they're a team of vets who have to make the playoffs or it's just a washed season with no lottery pick because they're just good enough to not suck.
Also if Melo had one of the best passers at center ever in Gasol and one the best floor generals in today's game in Conley, he could really thrive.
Lol Shannon really nailed it on the Spurs vs Lakers
The Rockets losing might not be Melo’s fault... but he certainly didn’t help...
UtotheJ ....he didn't hurt it either
losing ariza destroyed them ...
Asmosis Jones not really... have you seen Ariza’s numbers this year? He’s unplayable on defense
7 years later this convo is relating to Westbrook
The hate for Melo by the media is real
Real talk
Where did they lie??
It’s the media and sports analyst like Chris are the toxic to sports...
But how is this hating though?
They spoke all facts and I love Carmelo
Shannon: "We hiring, Melo!!" Lol!!
People don't understand that as you get older you have to take care of yourself and train more.
IM FROM CLEVELAND WE STILL SAY HECKY NAH
Wade's issues aren't that he didn't take care of his body it's because his play style broke him down quickly. I still think talent to talent Wade was the better of the 2 it's only because of longevity that Lebron is where he is now.
stargladiatorx media dickrides Lebron and disrespects dwade
Been like that forever
Meanwhile Lebron had to learn how to be true closer and winner from wade
@cosmicwarrior1857 who you telling I was among the minority of Heat fans that thought Lebron coming was a bad idea. Basically turned us into the modern day bad boy pistons which lead to the modern day bulls being Golden State.
stargladiatorx this is a stupid post lol Lebron coming was great for us and we had absolutely nothing to do with gs becoming good
Nor were we like the bad boy pistons at all
Always a good segment when Chris is on
Kobe said his toughest matchup was tmac
and Kobe said without wade in 08 Olympics USA doesnt win gold
@jdmnsxr6820 hes absolutely right
My apologies Kobe was talking to Stephen a smith
Couldnt agree more.
All facts we have a championship to win we cant afford to sign that man.
Lmfaoo a championship ?? Stop , no seriously , stop
@Trxpanese223 😂😂
ZayLOGICAL yes you can...veterans minimum...plus, Atlanta’s payin him like $27mil.....SIGN MELO!
ZayLOGICAL Lakers ain’t winning no damn championship
The warriors will make it to the finals...
Man yall Trippin
I think that the Jazz could use Melo. Donovan Mitchell needs scoring help. He could get 17-20 ppg because he'd be the 2nd scoring option. Favors, Gobert, Rubio are inconsistent scorers.
With all do respect that will be a horrible move on the jazz part...they preach team defense and ball movement...and melo has never been good at either....and he isn't a consistent enough scorer compared to 3 years ago when he was in new York putting up 23ppg on 45%fg 37%3pt now he is a 40%fg shooter and a 30%3pt shooter and that won't work with a team who moves the ball .... Mitchell is the only ball stopper that team needs unless u are getting a bonafide consistent scorer Jimmy buckets would worked perfectly there because he could've been there closer when need and he is a great defender and he can always guard the best player because he wouldn't have to carry the offense because of Mitchell there and some of the snipers they have who works best off ball .... Engles for example
They have nothing to lose
Jazz definitely don't need Melo. They already have 6 or 7 guys that can give you 15 each night, and they all play D.
I agree, they’re defense as a team would cover up his deficiencys
Paul Ranalli that’s not factual at all
I’ll listen Broussard for hours
6:41 hold up, Kobe said multiple times that Tmac was the toughest to guard, not Melo
Also not true lol, he said Kevin Durant bro he said he could never figure him out
Shannon should have taken the bet lol
Bron needs him as a scapegoat if the lakers don’t win
thank you! it's so obvious. Melo is the ultimate scapegoat. Even bigger than K Love. Lebron would absolutely LOVE that!
Jacinto Garza somebody see it...it part to help a friend part to have blame thrown near melo.
Jacinto Garza you mean the media? When has Lebron ever said its Kevin love fault? This is exactly what kd was talking bout. Causals
@basketballenlightenment2863 Facts bro. LBJ has never thrown anyone under the bus. Even when JR had that blunder in game 1 of he finals this year, he still didnt throw him to the fire.
People blame the media for being all over Lebron, but they are the same ones who fall for the narratives that the SAME media push.
@iang7244 Lebron threw his teammates under the bus during the press conference last year before the GS matchup and during the series. Go back and watch it. You blind witnesses only see what you want to see.
So they talked about this but not about the Jerry Hughes situation
Quit hating on Carmelo.
Carmelo was always a bad player. He could do nothing but score one on one. Never has a player been so hyped in the media but accomplish nothing.
@TheBenC-WV .....he is a HOF player that achieved a lot in his career. you are super dumb 😂😂😂
Watch Basketball Examined’s video on melo then you’ll see@hoodie4955
The ball stops with every good player ever. Kobe dribbled the air out the ball every game
@himmie1 Carmelo never, ever, ever was on Kobe's level. Don't put him in the same context.
Melo like that really tough old head at the park that everybody says should overseas.
Melo is no Hall of Famer.
It’s hilarious how every basketball debate on this show ends in a comparison of LeBron and Jordan or kd
Michael Beasley ? .. Ik melo declining but don’t compare him to melo
DroHunndo have you seen Melo play lately? It’s an accurate comparison
Carmelo is trashed bro, time to accept it and move on.
Beasley is melo with the left.
DroHunndo it’s a very accurate comparison
Yeah I agree how can they compare Beasley to Melo!? Beasley is a FAR better player than Melo...anyone who would rather have Melo than Beasley at this point is absolutely delusional.
Damn shannon should have taken the bet lol
melo is ball heavy and if im on the lakers the only guy i want ball heavy is lebron
Lol skip be rockin them black suits
The lakers don't need carmelo messing up their winning streak and plus he can't play defense he wouldn't for their system and he wouldn't want to come off the bench
The narrative that he can't play defense and holds the ball!!! came from Phil Jackson fan boys in the NY...
LeeTravius Mckay LeBron ain’t playing defense either
@LanceG007 LeBron has been
@LanceG007 Does James Harden or Russell Westbrook play defense?!!! Nobody said he didn't play defense in Denver when they went to the playoffs for 10 years!! Nobody said he didn't play defense when he lead the Knicks to the playoffs!! That Narritive was started by Phil Jackson!!! Why was there no report about his defense when he scored 62 points!! With 8 min still left and was taken out the game!!! All star professional Basketball players have said he can play in the game!!! All people like a big stupid football player and other people who never played basketball said he should retire!!! And what do you do, call the professional basketball players a lie!!! And believe people that ain't never played basketball!!! Foh..fan boy for the media!!!
Maybe as a 12th man, who’s just cover in case of serious injuries.
Shannon shouldve taken that Spurs vs Lakers bet
Chris say the whole story about the 55 win Bulls bring up that they added Kerr, Wellington, and Toni and had almost the exact same team with those additions. You can't be misleading these young fans into believing Nick Wright and Shannon's false narrative.
They lost MJ. Nuff said. Everyone you mentioned averaged like 7pts per game that season. Scottie led the Bulls in EVERYTHING. They were role players trying to fill MJ's 3 time fmvp shoes ffs.
Andrew Cook
I don’t think you get his point. Bron boy Broussard and Shannon along with the many LBJ stans always refer to that 94 season as if they won 55 gms with the exact same roster MJ had. All that is false, MJ left but the Bulls added Kukoc/Kerr/Longley etc to a team of Pippen/Grant/Paxson/BJ etc & Phil. They don’t mention how Pippen struggled vs NYK, how he had career lows without MJ in the playoffs. How Kukoc saved them from going down 0-3 with that game winner, how Phil had more faith and trust in Kukoc than he did Pippen. You saw how Shannon got when Skip brought that up, dude knows but is trying to stick with that lame narrative that MJ wasn’t THE man there. He never played with that exact 94 team, Pippen did and failed. Why don’t they mention how the next yr they went 34-31 and were slipping until MJ came back and they go 13-4 with the best record in that time span? Bc it doesn’t fit their narrative. Another thing is Bulls were 5-0 in the playoffs WITH MJ vs Knicks yet lose to them once he leaves, gee I wonder why this doesn’t get brought up as well...
eazyduzit5150 Jordan couldn't get out of the first round of the playoffs until he got alot of help, LeBron drags terrible teams to the finals
@eazyduzit-tr3nx Jordan didnt do so well without Pippen either. I'm not surprised Pippen's percentages dipped and he struggled because he isn't a natural scorer and having played with MJ his entire career this was the first time he was the #1 option. Bad refereeing killed the Bulls in '94. And they never had anyone who could really get their own shot. Phil trusted Kukoc cause he's the better shooter. He wasn't on Scottie's level.
@drexlspivey3047 AND BRON COULDNT EVEN GET TO THE PLAYOFF HIS FIRST TWO YEARS LMAO, LOOK AT THE STATS, BRONS HAD BETTER HELP IN THE FINALS RUN THAN JORDAN EXCEPT LAST YEAR. EVEN ADVANCE STATS PROVE THAT JORDAN IS BETTER THAN LEBRON, GETTIN SWEPT TWICE, LOSING TO A TEAM WITH ONE ALL-STAR IN DIRK WHILE HAVING WADE AND BOSH LMAO
I always have my popcorn on standby when Shannon is on deck 😂😂😂
Carmelo is now just another Anthony 😂
He aint Carmelo no more hes Anthony now lol 😂.
They should add Chris to the show
Lebron will rejuvenate Melo, mark my words!
now they’re teammates
He did This year
This aged well
Growing up in Detroit we said hecky naw
"you gotta know when to fold em, know when to hold em, no when to walk away know when to run" kenny rodgers. and melo has to know when to let it go
Kenny Rogers is still performing ☹
Chris with the logic, but Shannon needs the Henny and jersey!
This would be a good ideal if it was 2008 and Kobe Bryant would of suffer a season ending injury......
He would have won a chip 09 with Denver if Kobe got injured
Here’s a new drinking game.... take a shot every time Chris says “Labraan”
I wouldn't cut zubac to sign Melo
Charlton Kenneth why? Zubac is clearly more valuable than Melo
that baller kobe what about Mo Wagner?
If they were to cut a player it'd be Beasley. Who play the same position.
I would on any given night
Jenny Taffy Apple with her hair up looks even better
Nobody in Ohio said Hecky Naw..
It's Heck Naw.. He gayed it up..
Who did you kick it with? 😂
Lol when he said that I had to think back when have I ever said hecky naw?? Ohh that's right NEVER!! lol
+++@teebranham5195
I remember hecky naw on Kanye's first album. I figured it was a Chicago saying
Wade has some moments this year with good games.
Fans laughing and making fun of Melo saying my team don't need that trash. But as soon as GSW signs Melo they all crying saying that's not fair.
melo wouldn't fit ...he could not fit in Houston...
@razkable Melo would he just used like Nick Young. Come in Play 5 minutes a game and collect a ring
Iceman Got His Wake Up Call When He Went To Chicago!,,,
Bron wants to be Captain Save A Bro so bad😂😂😂😂😂
He already is...how many people has Bron put on?
Yo wiz you coming out?
LeBron just wants a scapegoat for when he loses again like he did with Jr Smith last year and Kevin love the year before lmao smh
4:41. Shannon is just too much 😂😂😂
In what order would you put the blind witnesses Shannon Chris Nick Wright Brian windhorst
Nick Wright, Shannon Sharpe, Brian Windhorst, Chris Broussard
@TheMohamoud60 Windhorst, Nick Wright, Shannon, Chris
Shannon, Nick, Chris, Brian
Imagine these dudes praying in a lebron altar once a week like "sup dude? You brought the goat mask?"
LeGump Sharpe is the worst fanboy I've ever seen
They doing him like A.i
Melo time was up after nuggets that was his prime
This video didn’t age well . 😂
LeBron gave up on BI quickly
Criss Brewsahrd BI don’t duck with anyways,he hates playing with LeBron and you can see it when they play together. So for all the people talking trading him he’s probably cool for with that because the lakers aren’t what they think they are for young players
@LanceG007 Yeah you can see it on his face. He plays better when Lebron is off the court. There was a stat saying he's more efficient and shooting over 55% with Lebron off the court vs 43% with Lebron on the court. That's a huge difference.
He's just not that good
you mean bi gave up
More like Brandon Ingram should have been better than he is by now.... Was hopeful for him to actually elevate his game (since the lakers drafted him) to at least an all star level but he hasnt shown much. He keeps doing that disappearing act he does when hes on the court with lebron. I wouldnt be surprised if the lakers wind up trading Lonzo,KCP,Ingram and two first round picks, along with a 3rd team getting involved for Anthony Davis. Until then i dont see the lakers signing melo....
I think Shannon would be the funnest guy to hang out with just for kicks and giggles. What a guy.
As I stated on Carmelo exodus in the past we were never able to win with him on the court. 2 teams later I see my statement is true reality not maybe Is zen.
Horace and Bj became Allstars that year Cartwright played important minutes for us as well as adding Kerr , kukoć , and luc Longley give those players credit.
I’ve been told Michael and kobe are the reasons why I won I don’t disagree I say shaq and pippen had a lot to do with it as well.
Phil Jackson FOH
Sham account for a sham coach. Go kiss Texas Winter's grave.
Come back Phil we need you in LaLaLand. Make up with Jenny Buss.
Teams win games not one player
Phil Jackson Denver hasn't done jack, and neither has the Knicks. Colossal L.
I died at 3:15😂😂
Carmelo just retire
I also agree with the 10-15mins.
If LeBron gets carmelo to the lakers and realizes how bad he is he gone want to trade carmelo
LeeTravius Mckay he doesn’t have to get much playing time. Bron just want his homie getting paid
@basketballenlightenment2863 he gone want to start tho
Wade avg. 18-20 in chicago and he ballin now...
Melon to warriors bench for cheap.
Ahahaha my phone autocorrected his name to melon and ima leave it up there aaahahahaha. Melon!!!
Melon lmao
He plays like a melon lol he dont play like Melo.
Lol melon
