Melo is/was a great player! I absolutely loved his time in Portland. He was nothing like how people said he was when he was in Portland. He was absolutely wonderful. We love Melo in Portland!

@DukesVerrill Год назад

It was fun to watch Melo in his prime, even when he reinvented himself in his later years with Portland etc. Kudos to him on a fantastic NBA & Olympic career

@Ryan-hw6ww Год назад

Melo was all about Melo. He never made anyone around him better. No “superstar” lost more. A poor man’s James Harden.

@LSLiveStrong Год назад

It’s nice to see him get some well deserved recognition. Being a legend is way more than just winning a ring; the obsession with rings diminishes so many great legacies

@InvestBetter. Год назад

Melo proved that being a great scorer doesn't make you a great player. Show me one time he made his team great, or another player great? One memorable moment in time, when he did more than score a basket? Show me how any of the points he scored mattered. Moving on....

So what, basketball is more than just scoring. Those other eight people at least made an effort on defense. I know Dirk was not the best defender but he made an effort and he was a good rebounder. Carmelo was one-dimensional and people that have the potential to win titles are multi-dimensional.

Melo scored 11 points and 5 of them were garbage points where the Lakers were up 9 with 75 seconds to go. If you’re going to give context then give FULL context. Kobe scored 22pts on 13 shots with 8 assist. 3 assists came in the 4th quarter and scored 4 points. So even in that game I’d say Kobe outplayed Melo in the 4th quarter and DEFINITELY outplayed him in the series not even close. Nick will look at Lebron and say he does more than score to affect the game but not Kobe ? Lol comon.

@Antbeast23 11 месяцев назад

He was made for a big stage. He won a national championship and Olympic medal. He was a great scorer and his mentality. He wanted to win and showed leadership/ he would have performed well in the nba finals. I felt like he would have been clutch and elevated his play. Saying he was a bad teammate is bs. His game doesn’t cater to team play but he didn’t have the best teams around him.
