Carmelo Anthony: savior, loser ... Pure Scorer 

You're comparing him to lifetime fitness?

@@AntwonCoulter32 No, just a hooper getting buckets. No dribbles, and nothing but net.

@@AntwonCoulter32that's what he was dude lol

Lifetime fitness and Olympic melo should never be in the same sentence lol

How many babes you got?

But I'm not your babe

Facts. No offense to the others, but his voice is a lot more captivating and better at story telling. Idk how to describe it.

You don't have a babe stop lying

Gross

He shouldve won ROTY for that alone. But the narrative was already rigged for Bron

facts

And it's been rigged for LeBron ever since

That team was a lot more different than just adding melo. They added a PG in andre miller (underrated player) and marcus camby was healthy when he missed more than 50 games before that season.

​@@theinnocentturtle1236 nahhh it wasn't. Both of them had equal chance to win. No one wasn't robbed. Robbed is something like darko winning ROY

And don't whine about it after the checks have cashed.

​@@LembeckIsStayingthey can whing wtf.bif your temates play like ass u have all reason to whine and be mad. Of the coach not doing their job or gm yes they can

Neither of which he is doing ​@@LembeckIsStaying

and dont blackball teammates for making money or sharing the spotlight

Problem is he cries about it now. He treated Denver like an inconvenient entry point into the league, and now he has no home, no fanbase, just guys on the Internet who don't have a team to root for and worship moneymaking

Melo will still be one of my all time favorite scorers to watch, the jab steps, fluidity, lightning quick release. His offense was just so smooth

Laughable. .Melo is easily the BIGGEST LOSER In NBA history. Even Reggie and Charles at least got to the finals, and when they played you could see they played with passion, heart, fire, whatever you want to call it. Melo was just there for a paycheck, it was clear to everybody.

@@buffalobilly6046okay brother

​@buffalobilly6046 aww stfu who the hell was a secondary star to help him win?U weirdos always pocket watching and critiquing from your couch.Melo won in life wtf did u win besides hata of the yr chump

Just enjoy some basketball man, go outside, life too short to be embarrassing yourself on the internet ​@@buffalobilly6046

Video game numbers in 2012

if you have to bring in the Olympics when arguing a NBA's player legacy, its not an impressive legacy.

@@peterosesbookyI don’t think he is bring up the Olympics has a argument in Melo’s legacy. More appreciation for that time and it can go unnoticed.

Actually came here to say that if you are going to mention Melo and the Olympics, it's a severe oversight to not bring up the 2004 Bronze medal team, how he stunk up the joint (not that he was team captain or anything), and for years after he was a very talented shot chucker, IE didn't learn from that experience.

Not low-key. He was the best scorer on those teams

If I were a billionaire the first thing I’d do is hire the blue eyed suit and the brown eyed suit and have them just smash their heads together indefinitely

Morgan Freeman: "He did indeed come off the bench in due time."

I am a STAR! And a star should be a star-ter

Every team he was on after Denver claimed he overstayed at the end smh

@@MidtownMeezushow? The Knicks didn’t build around him, just expected him to lead lazy teams, Denver didn’t build around him, he left to OKC late in the offseason and he wasn’t intergraded well enough into how the game plans were ran jus had to wing it and figure it out, they made him the scapegoat in Houston for whatever reason when he played very solid off the bench then they try to blackball him completely, he’s out the league for a year and then he gets to Portland and ONLY played TWO seasons there so how is that overstaying his welcome? Regardless of his net, they still made the postseason, he was a part of that regardless, and then he ended his career as the lakers arguable best shooter on a shitty lakers team that didn’t really build a good enough team and then they blackballed him out after he avg 13 off the bench as a solid shooter, they say his defense wasn’t good 😂😂😂 as if it matters when he’s jus out there for O, there’s players out there for D who suck on O but other players make up for that, why couldn’t that be said the same for Melo on defense? Ppl like to make up narratives

@@PaperChaserLathank you. People blow these reasons for why melo isn’t a great and paint him as this selfish player that he wasn’t. They go crazy with the narratives

Seth > Clara >>>>>>>>> Kofie

There is Seth, Clara and Other

I like the girl > this guy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the random third dude

Seth> vast gap > everyone else.

Honestly I like all the narration, it just takes me a video or two to get a feel for their cadence and inflections. Kofie has this goofy humor, Clara has a wry undertone, Seth has solid articulation, Joe has a serious way of speaking, Candace has a smooth voice, etc. It's hard to separate the video content from the narrator at times, so while I think Jon Bois is my favorite, it might just be because many of my favorite videos from this channel are his.

That’s a you problem

but poeple wanna say t mac somehow the goat. na melo is goated

@@ShabeastWho called tmac the goat of anything lol crazy work

Once was against the Celtics I recall

@@Shabeast What's Melo "goated" in?

Kobe

We can't use today's standard of player movement to not understand how it was back then.The stuff lebron and them did was atypical and players in their prime didn't act immediately desperate like they do now plus the money was different.I do agree melo was late on alot of things but the standard of securing money mixed with the way players didn't act desperate for ring chasing wasn't the same as it is now so I can't blame him except when he did the extension when new york was clearly going bad

No offense to the two guys in the ad, but their voices are annoying

@@fortynights1513they couldn’t have gotten Meghan Markle for this?

I got and then I see this comment 15 seconds later

Then it worked! You remembered it and it’s now on your mind 😅

Taking a $113M paycut is just a bad life choice...

@@fireshadowblade9 he also plays defense, gets others involved and runs their offense. Way more valuable than Melo

Meanwhile Charles Barkley is calling out TNT for not paying him in full with his 210 million dollar contract. With the new lucrative TV deal, why tf did Brunson listen to Leon Rose’s son?

​@gmatsue84 Probably but he still makes more money a year than 99% of the world's population do in their lifetime.

@@Ryan-hn8yx Yeah, sure, but he could have taken the money and used it to help people who need it if "not needing it" is the issue. Club is gonna burn it in some deal or product or whatever, or give a bonus to an executive...

The prior year Camby was mostly injured and hardly played and the Nuggets acquired a very good point guard Andre Miller.

Instead, they drafted Darko Millic

@@jamesbartee6184 I know …Melo could’ve started off like Magic. Rookie champion.. team would’ve made him play better D and possibly won back to back titles

@@kyngjaquin4632 we prob dont trade for Sheed if we draft him, who knows how it would have gone

@@mickidoesmedia naaaaw we still need Rasheed

@@mickidoesmedia That's the absolute 100 million dollar question. If the pistons draft Melo, do they still trade for Rasheed?? We'll never know this, but what we do know is that Sheed made you guys a contender, and without him, you don't win in 2004 or get back to the finals in 2005. Just such an interesting "what if?" question

Top 3

This is what I remember most from his career

I like the one on Shaun Livingston best personally

Yeah Melo, Rose, and Butler would’ve been crazy to see.

As a Bulls fan, I'm so glad that never happened. His black hole ball-stopping self-centered iso ball style would have single handedly ruined the chemistry of those pre-injury Rose teams. Can you imagine how bad his pouting attitude would have been in response to the effort expected from Thibodeau's coaching style?

​@@GOODMuzikBoiButler would have hated Melo. Why would It be any different then his relationship with KAT and Wiggins

@@MrOctober44 for one Melo is older and was a Vet not no young unproven players, two Melo resume speaks for itself, three worst case scenario it would’ve been the same type of relationship Jimmy and Rondo had. Or they would’ve had the type of relationship that Jimmy had with D-Wade. Melo and Thibs would have hated each other.

Wasn’t DRose injured?

So in other words an objectively talented player but who doesn’t provide you much without the ball in his hands, and isn’t good enough with the ball in his hands to be a number one option on a title team? Sounds like he has a good career for himself though

Or we can call them arrogant

his career is still incomplete when compared to his contemporaries

I'm sorry but with Melo I don't get a "grind" vibe. It's more like a spotlight vibe. I'll never forget what he did to Lin. Or forcing a trade to NY instead of playing like two more months and going there as a free agent with more of the roster intact. Moves like that tell me he's either A.) Not too bright or B.) He didn't care about winning like his fans claimed.

But he should’ve ran … yeah ran to the heat and formed a “Big 4” w/ the “Big 3” in Miami .. Celtics did it in 08 so what would’ve made that situation different? 🤔 I know what he said on his podcast or PG podcast but still tho he would’ve had two to three rings right now

Melo’s teams only ever lost to better squads in the playoffs. Made the playoffs his first 13 years. & the best coach he played with is hated by everyone he ever coached

yeah running for help is the reason this is the type of talk we have to have about melo because he didnt run for help he should have

Same

I think a lot about those Nuggets teams...and it was a little unfair to them when Seth said Melo had no help there...They had some good Rosters...AI, JR Smith, Kenyon Martin, and then flipping AI for Chauncey, Nene, Arron Afflalo...Those teams were decent, but never achieved squaddosh...Part of it was because the West was just so loaded back then....and what's the other reason? (I genuinely don't know, and am asking)

@@elliemyers6435 Melo's attitude. Billups said in an interview that Melo was happy when he scores 35 even when they lost and unhappy when he scores 20 then win. That's not really a winner mentality.

@@sakamoto8354 Yep. A lot of that kind of chatter about him is out there, ESPECIALLY early in his career. I do think that attitude improved as he got older, but he definitely had some "I'm cool as long as I get mine" in him.

@@Greidyelcuh i could skip it 🤷

Melo would’ve been a great pick, but I’d like to have seen Wade on that team as a sixth man

@@fortynights1513 Wade would have been a better fit. But I'm just saying Melo because of what was known at the time. Tayshaun Prince was a complete surprise for the Pistons who went from being an unproven rookie to a clutch small forward who was a perfect fit for them. Wade would have slotted in perfect with Tayshaun and I agree, would have been the better fit. But at the time, the consensus was that Melo was the second best player in the draft and Wade ended up being the steal of the draft that year. Even I didn't know that Wade was going to be as good as he was until I saw him dropping clutch shots in the playoffs. The benefit of hindsight...Wade over Melo all day.

No paul george is the michael jordan of carmelo anthonys

I'd say the Michael Jordan of Joe Johnsons

​@@smn2300🤡 you sound slow

@@user-oi3su7sw5n the furthest thing from

Funniest analogy of all time

What a best teammate to have in your squad by keeping your team mentally stable. 🤣🤣

Yeah, I am sure Melo still thinks about this. Had he just waited until the end of the season, the Knicks wouldn't have had to gut their roster to get him...He also wouldn't have been dragged so publicly, forcing a trade if he had just waited. And, in that scenario, the Knicks could have been a formidable player in the East.

I think part of it was also the Knicks being paranoid that the Nets would swoop in and steal him. Considering they had the assets to get it done and we're about to move to Brooklyn, they probably didn't want to risk Melo staying with the Nets.

He made the knicks make that trade?😂

She wanted to chase that putrid acting career of hers

Biggest what if in NBA history.

Instant ring and plays defense more often assuming he gets along with coaching staff. Pistons needed scoring too

@@jdmr1c3ing His scoring on that Piston team, with Larry Brown and Rick Carlisle teaching him to play defense.....Such a loss to basketball fans in general. That Piston team is underrated. They were already a great team without Melo. Even without Melo, that team deserves more respect.

Larry held him back big time his rookie season and personal problems didn't help. Even Sheed said himself on his podcast Larry killed his confidence, because he hated rookies. Hell even Mehmet Okur in his second year in 04 was pushed back for Elden Campbell and Larry didn't like how many jumpers Memo was taking and wanted him to post up which wasn't Okurs strength. He was a sharpshooter

@e1028 Nobody talks about them drafting Tayshaun the year before 😂 with the defensive minded coach that Larry was he was not gonna play Melo over him

I was thinking Bernard King.

Modern day carmelo anthony. One of one

Glenn Robinson 2.0

Who’s best: Melo, AI, or TMac.

@@fortynights1513Not even close, both players are absolutely clear of Melo. Will never understand how Melo is so highly regarded 😭

Denver was more athletic, better slasher, better finisher. NY was a way more complete player overall, much better shooter, worse finisher. NY teams were terribly built though. Biggest issue for Melo is honestly just that his team composition rarely matched his skillset. His best seasons were with Chauncey and Raymond Felton/JKidd - he needed good facilitators to run the offense so he could focus on his spots - he didn't have the skillset to orchestrate in Denver at all and by the time he was better at that, he was surrounded by terrible rosters, then the injuries. The hot take is that 2013-14 is Melo's actual peak season but the team was garbage.

James Worthy is way better basketball player than Melo. Just look at Worthys fg% during the playoffs as a SF and had a better Points per game average better in the playoffs as well. Worthy played when the paint was congested due to lack of 3 point quality shooters.
