New York gives Carmelo Anthony a warm welcome in his return to Madison Square Garden | ESPN 

He deserved this

Proud to be a Knicks fan after this. Will always love Melo, and brought a lot the excitement we had been missing back

that was a great welcome. the announcement was crazy.. normally they dont yell out his name.. sounds great to hear carrrrmmmerlloo !!!!!!! Aaaanttttthooonyyyy!!!!!!! onces again

I'M NOT CRYING! Yo...that's respect at it's finest right there...best part was after all that Melo was getting booed the rest of the night in perfect New York fashion xD #AlwaysStayMe7o

GREAT JOB KNICK FANS AWESOME WAY 2 SUPPORT YOUR OWN AMAZING :)

You can still here the boos but there's more applause than I expected

That organization treated him like shit and he handled it like a true professional

As they should

Is it just me or is there a faint of boos in the background?

The anouncer still crazy in NYK when he anounce the name Carmeloooooooooooooooooo Anthonyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. one of the greatest player in knicks history thank you melo. u will always be remembered as a knick... :)

Not a Knicks fan but I'm gonna miss CARMELOOOO ANTHONYYY! I feel a way no lie. Good look

Melo a knick cuh, hope he goes back before he retires

Even they booed him at the end of the game. he still be remembered as a knick and he do what he do best as a knick. #stayme7o

Yall blaming melo for everything but failed to realized that he never missed a playoff till phil Jackson came so who's the real one to blame????

CARMELLOOOOO AANNNTHOOONYYYY

well deserved!!! #staymelo7

Felt good seeing that.

Melo please come back to New York PLEASE😢😢😢

Godmelo Anthony 🐐🐐🐐🐐

He is so welcome in NY and unwelcome in Denver.

My eyes got watery smh I love the knicks

very classy new York

33 years old and still ain't washed up averaging 17 points a game playing with Paul and Russ I have so much respect for melo

good to see new York did the right thing..a few boos..but they did the right thing overall

that's why knicks fan are the best

Class act by NY! 👍👍

Not just cheers but I hear mad boos too

This is dope 😭😭

They Just Happy He Left😂

This warms my heart

Now that a melo feeling right there.

Carmelooooo anthonyyyyyy

Alot more class then some other teams i know of "Hint,Hint,Nudge,Nudge"

Welcome back Melo. Once a knick, always a knick

Carmeloooooo Anthoonyyyyyy

Knicks fans are the only real fans. Much class

When a team try to act half classy, But deep down melody is low key hated

As a Knick fan i am happy he is not here anymore.But I remember his first game as a knick and how optimistic we were and how it turned out ,but he tried.We the knick fans were divided if he should go or stay but as we see we are slowly but surely are becoming a team.the ones that boo him have every right to do so but I think that uniform that says NEW YORK across the chest is really heavy to carry and sacred and for those 7 years Number 7 I applaud you and thank you .

Carmelooo Anthonyyyyyyyyyy

Only way to fix this thunder team is simply for melo to come off the bench hes got to realize this.him on the bench does these things the firstl is it helps the m bench produce points at a much higher rate.2nd it creates balance for pg and russ to only have to share shots with eachother instead of 3 ball dominant stars and also it gets a actual pf out there in patrick patterson.

OK3

I feel like crying

I went to this game 🤗

Congrats Melooooo Enjoy retirement!

CARMELOOOOOOO..... ANNTHONYYYYYYY!!

What is the song being played in the Melo tribute video?

Carmelooooooooooo AnnnnTHONYYYYYYYYYYY

See this is how you should welcome bacc your players

The NY fan base has more integrity than OKC. SAD!

Much respect

Gave him the home intro; Patrick didn’t get that intro with the Sonics

"CARMELOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANTHONYYYYYY

Only respect melo

I'm a die-hard New York fan and I also was a Melo fan when he was on my team but now he's the enemy when he plays my Knicks. Phil Jackson was right when he said that Melo was a ball-stopper but so was Jordan and so was Kobe. I could never understand why Melo couldnt be like those guys. I'm sure a lot of people wish he was like LeBron but no one is like LeBron. That was never Melos game. Knicks should have known that when they traded for him. So I blame management and I blame the players. They both played their parts in the Knicks missing the Playoffs the last 4 years and not winning a championship.

as much as i hate on him he is a top 5 knick ever

The Knicks treated Melo better with that single announcement, than they did in his entire last 12 months with the club.

Still wondering why George was boo'ed 🤔 The man carried the Pacers to the playoffs every year.

Crowd proceeds to boo extra loud when he has the ball

I hear a lot of BOO's LOL

U know Paul George is mad asf rn 😂😂

Melo is not the reason why the Knicks have sucked. The real reason starts with their shitty ownership. The fact that Melo took them to the conference finals is proof that the Knicks should be kissing his ass every day

John Starks > Melo with the Knicks

50% cheers and 50% booed

Notice how the only salty Knicks fans are 'comment section' Knicks fans? I guess the real Knicks fans get off their asses and actually go to the games.

Mix reception of cheers and boos I'm not stupid

Hope OKC saw how a real organization honors a past star

Theyre just happy he left tbh. Theres nothing to be bitter about. He was never gonna lead them to a ring

That's how it's done...Indiana...

Guess the clowns who said NY fans would shit on him have to eat crow now lmao we gave him his just due, now have fun in okc !!!

anyone know the soundtrack here?

New York is trippin

This is why New York is a better franchise than Indiana.

People sit here trynna Blame melo when management was the issue smh

it was pretty much mixed boo's and cheers

Very nice i like dat.

emotional

No Melo, No problemo #KNICKGANG

Well deserve

Goes to show you get boo'd more if you actually took the team somewhere...Melo only went to the 2nd round with new york. PG took the pacers to a couple EFC and coming 1 or 2 games short of making it to the finals. I would rather get boo'd because it shows the fans are really hurt

OPT OUT OF YOUR CONTRACT AND COME BACK MELO!!! DUE IT FOR THE BEST CITY IN THE WORLD, THE GREAT NEW YORK CITY!!!!

It was the best thing for the Knicks to trade him.

The Cavs have Kyrie Boos while he game them a championship SMFH

I would really like to see what he would have been like with the team now that they have some establishment and decided to keep Jeff hornacek and they decided to keep the bench intact everybody thinks that other team was bad no it wasn't bad they were just forced to run a triangle system that they didn't fit my long kristaps porzingis would have been a great team the only fingers having a big guy like Enis Kanter would have definitely helped them out because even though he's not that athletic he's got length and he's deceptively fast Carmelo Anthony has done a amazing job this year and getting other people involved maybe not in passing the ball because he is a one-on-one player but he does the little things like the pick-and-roll sudden pick-and-rolls up for players and doing little things like calling out on the defense and that's one thing that Billy Donovan loves bottom is because he anchors the defense and they do a great job but they turn over the ball way too much and I feel like Russell Westbrook needs to slow down and play at a better Pace that way they can be a force to be reckoned with. One thing I've learned about Russell Westbrook which his strong point is also his weak point is he plays very hard but sometimes he plays too hard and all the fast break ball is what makes him a turnover oh artist compared to half-court players like Paul George and Melo who yes they love the open shots but at the same time it is easier to have a set with a team even little small stretches when they're out there with Raymond Felton and it's Melo and PG they look very efficient with Ray and Russell Westbrook pushes too hard and doesn't get these other guys the right involvement or in their spot where they protect their craft

At least Paul George got IND to the ECF. Carmelo No impact on the Knicks roster they were better during Linsanity

You think this is cool. My fav player experienced this 30 times.

How the Cavs should have greeted Kyrie after he won their only championship

Wow these fans.

That's why LeBron James going to New York

Its only been like 6 months. And he should have stayed on OKC it would have been better for his career

Song ?

By the way this is the only decision knicks had ever made

it was 50/50 if I heard it right.

If players got paid per game off performances instead of contracts melo would have 10 rings by now

New York in Denver jersey retirement

Y don't Denver do this

Stay Me7o

Sure we cheered. We are better without him. ZERO hard feelings here.

They are really happy he's gone haha

Paul George pissed off Indiana Pacers GM, by telling teammates that he wanted to be a Laker 😎😎😎. The GM got so mad at Paul George that he called it a "GUT PUNCH." He traded Paul George to OKC as a form of PUNISHMENT, playing Westbrook 😂😂😂😂

if Phil Jackson did treat him right then fuck he's staying NYK
