After Shaq was announced to be the first Magic player to get a jersey retired, I looked into other franchises who've disrespected former legends in a similar way for multiple years, and why it happened.

Melo is a knick. That’s what he wanted to be and that’s his franchise. There’s bad blood between both parties and it doesn’t look like either wanted to or currently want to work it out. Sometimes getting your jersey retired isn’t only about what you did on court. Look at Nick Collison as an example.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I feel like teams should be keeping a high bar for retiring jersey numbers. The honor should be kept for players that dedicate their careers to the franchise and bring them success, guys like Kobe and Magic for the Lakers, Jordan for the Bulls, Dirk for the Mavericks, Duncan for the Spurs, etc. At the end of the day this is entirely up to the owners, so there's no point in players who spent only half their career somewhere being upset their number isn't getting retired, especially if they left that franchise with bad blood.

@anthonythomas 4 месяца назад

@@disgruntledtaco3640 It's honestly very unpopular. Based on my definition, no team would be retiring Lebron's number, but most fans think all three teams he's been on should retire his number and that's probably what will happen. Also, not a single player mentioned in this video should be getting their number retired, and a lot of people in the comments agree that at least a couple of them deserve it.

@life0093 4 месяца назад

@anthonythomas 4 месяца назад

@@life0093 I was just clarifying why my original post is an unpopular opinion. To give you my actual thoughts, I also think Cleveland should retire Lebron's number. It's a weird asterisk/exception to my rule; even though Lebron didn't dedicate his career there, the majority of Cleveland success in their entire history occurred with Lebron, so they should retire his number. But the majority of fans and analysts think the Heat and Lakers should retire his number as well and I think that's ridiculous, but the teams will probably do so anyway and I'm not going to care.

@jmiranda4960 4 месяца назад

Melo is delusional. One WCF in 8 years and he's owed a jersey number retirement? Every single other example here featured a trip to the Finals or a player who was massively significant for a young or new franchise. Denver already had been to the WCF before his arrival and had been to the playoffs 14 times.

@ineveryuniverse3953 4 месяца назад

He also is/was one of the greatest Nuggets of all time in an era where the Western Conference was the dominant conference. 8 years isn’t nothing, even if he didn’t have a lot of a lot of playoff success or even his best years as a Nugget. While I think he does deserve to have his jersey retired, I also see why the Nuggets wouldn’t and have not liked Melo’s own takes on the matter.

Players wanting to be honored by the same organization they no longer wanted to be a part of seems weird and entitled.

This is such a a tough subject, because retiring jerseys is such a big deal, and I don't think they should just be retired that easily. I believe franchises should retire jerseys if it's for elite players that led their team to the finals or to rings/continued success for years or if they really meant something to the organization as a whole. I believe OKC will retire KD and WB jerseys due to that finals run in 2012 and the consistent success they had for years.

@Amm17ar 4 месяца назад

I love Melo the player, but I also think that if you have to ask a team to retire your jersey or make a fuss about it, there’s probably reasons why it hasn’t been done yet. A jersey retirement is about what you did for that franchise and how they much they value your contribution. Jokic has already done much more than Melo for Denver. It was just unlucky that he chose 15. I don’t see why he’s not more upset at the Knicks. That’s where he wanted to be, that’s where he went, and he’s got connections and ties to NYC. They should be more on the hook for retiring his jersey than Denver who he asked out of. Regardless though, if either team does retire his jersey now, it’ll just look bad on either side imo. It would be a pitty retirement, and I personally wouldn’t want that lol.

Also it's so dam stupid to "lock" a number while the player is still active. I would retire a number after the player officially retire and decided to hang the sneakers. There's no damn point on forbidden players from wearing a number from a player who is still active for other teams. This brainless aurgement of "Player left team for another one. Nobody can wear that number anymore". Just read it and tell me how that doesn't sound stupid.

There is no intentional disrespect involved, melo is more of a Knick anyway and Jokic has been on record saying he’s been wearing 15 all his life. he came to the team, requested 15 and since it wasn’t retired they gave it to him, Jokic has done more for the nuggets than Melo ever has and if anybody is going to retire 15 it’s gonna be the Knicks

@donateloh6894 4 месяца назад

Melo is a hypocrite and not a true Nugget player. He wanted to move on from the team and try to win somewhere else. Besides he is NOT a franchise player but just another OVERRATED nobody that is overhyped by the media. You must be a fan of him and want to give him attention which is what he is desperately looking for right now.

@Justinian43 4 месяца назад

Denver is fucking disrespectful to Melo, there’s no Nuggets without Carmelo Anthony falling to them and no star player in their prime wants to waste years on a rebuild. They gave the number to Jokic because they thought he was just another eurobum but he happened to turn out to be good. New York should do right by Melo and retire his number and honestly, nobody has worn number 7 in New York since Melo which is pretty respectful from the Knicks.

Melo wasn’t disrespected, he spent the majority of his prime in NY and literally didn’t do anything worthy of having his Jersey retired in Denver. He was a fun player, and a WCF is cool, but it’s not overly impressive and he forced his way to NY. Imagine being so egocentric and narcissistic that you assume a team you really didn’t do anything of note for is dishing shade at you by giving a second round pick, who obviously wasn’t expected to become an MVP and wore 15 most of his life, your number 5 years after you left the team. Maybe if Melo could think outside of his own head and not only have been concerned with Melo his whole career he could have done something of note in Denver. The difference between Lebron and Melo was never talent or ability, it was Basketball IQ and unselfishness.

@zenkresnik 4 месяца назад

Melo is the only situation I refuse to agree with. He played for 7 years, forced a trade, and then played longer on other teams than on the Nuggets. Even if you want to say that Melo deserved *some* respect, I think the way he acted after leaving showed a lot about his attitude and how much he actually cared about the franchise that did as much as they could help him win. NOW he wants a legacy play, talking about it while wearing a jacket highlighting his KNICKS jersey number. There are players who are great, but not legendary. Melo is one of those. F*ck his desperate pleas attempt to increase his legacy and impact on the Denver. His most meaningful contribution is the pick the Nuggets got from trading him that became Jamal Murray. Good, but not jersey retirement worthy.

As an OKC fan: if we had won a title with KD, I wouldn’t be that mad if he left for a bigger market. But it’s not just that he left, it’s how he left and where he went. He joined the 73-9 warriors in what would get him an easy ring. Now it’s been years since KD left so I’m willing to forgive him if he did come back, but he’s def not as hated in my eyes anymore

The Bulls have been notorious for not retiring guys numbers. Norm Van Lier - 3 time All-Star. 8 time All-Defensive. Was the starting point guard on the 1975 team that almost got the NBA Finals. Chet Walker - 7 time All-Star (4 with the Bulls). Helped the Bulls get to within 1 game of the NBA Finals in 1975, the one and only time they got that close until MJ arrived 10 years later. Tom Boerwinkle - spent 10 years on the Bulls, his whole career. Despite being a role player was loved by the fans. Dennis Rodman - third best player on 3 Championship winning teams John Paxon - Was there for 9 years and hit the Championship winning shot in Game 6 in 1993. If he missed that shot the Bulls go to a Game 7 on the road. Horace Grant - third best player on 3 Championship winning teams Tony Kukoc - indispensable part of 3 Championship winning teams Jo Noah - Defensive Player of the Year. 2 time All-Star. Played harder than anyone else from his Bulls era. Kirk Hinrich - 3rd in all-time games played for the Bulls. Helped the Bulls get to the Playoffs after 6 years of being the worst team in the league. Loul Deng - 2 time All-Star. Played for the Bulls for 9 years. Wanted to be a Bulls for his entire career, didn’t leave by choice. They’ve only retired four numbers. 4 - Jerry Sloan 10 - Bob Love 23 - Michael Jordan 33 - Scottie Pippen

@johndebono1870 4 месяца назад

As a Raptors fan, I can look past Carter's exit and think he should probably have his jersey retired based on his impact to Canadian basketball. Lowry and DeRozan have to be first two though since they were the first to lead the team to consistent playoff success.

@TheEastside661 4 месяца назад

The New York Knicks have #15 retired for two different players. The first player is Dick McGuire (1949-1957) and the second player is Earl Monroe (1971-1980). The Knicks may be the only franchise to have done that if I am not mistaken. Maybe the Denver Nuggets will do the same with Carmelo Anthony and Nikola Jokić someday. It makes sense to me but due to Carmelo’s contentious departure from Denver in 2011, it may not happen, the honor will solely go to Nikola Jokić more than likely.

@fadhilideche2831 2 месяца назад

Speaking as a soccer fan, while I 100% understand and agree with the feeling of disrespect of having your legendary jersey no. being handed off to no-name players, I would think that it's quite honourable to have your number passed on to another legend/great player as a way of continuing a legacy that you started. You see this sort of tradition with a number of soccer clubs e.g. Manchester United and Real Madrid with the no. 7 jersey, Barcelona with the no. 10. So I get that having your jersey retired may be the most preferable option, but it surely shouldn't be a bad thing for a franchise to hand out a particular number to some of it's greatest players, should I? Like, instead of doubly retiring 15, the Nuggets could just make sure to hand it over only to the next great franchise player that comes after Jokic.

@hans_the_great 4 месяца назад

9:13 I don’t think that it’s clear Melo won’t get his number retired. Sure it’s very rear for 2 people to get the same number retired but is has happened before. The Yankees retired the number 8 for two different players, those being Bill Dickey and Yogi Berra. So while it probably won’t happen, just because 15 is getting retired for Jokic doesn’t mean it can’t also be retired for Melo.

@Fro00ot0 4 месяца назад

Imo the only ways you should ever have your jersey retired is if you're an integral part of championship wins, or if you've played 10-15+ years for just that single team and are loved by the city. Melo has done neither. If 1 WCF in 8 years is jersey reitrement worthy, we'll be out of numbers to give to players in a couple years.

@TriedYan 4 месяца назад

I’ve been saying this but it feels like the take most people have is Carmelo Anthony is being bitter and should shut up about it but the nuggets should’ve never let Jokic have the number because based on the jerseys retired in Denver he did enough to get a jersey retired
