He had no business in college. He was crushing these dudes with size and crazy skill for his age.
He was a man among boys… So NBA ready. Had the complete game at such a young age.
@@matthewlws86 didn’t want to follows Lenny Cooke & Amare Stoudimire. Thought he could be #1 in 03 draft , most knew he was a Top 3 pick straight out of Highschool in 2002; probably over Yao.
That was a turning point. You know Melo got that bag to go to Syracuse. The NBA then, was against helping the the high school jump partnership with NCAA. Look at KD at Texas highlights. They both got paid.
He shud have stayed an extra year to learn more about winning. Kobe da goat
He still went thou it wasn't no d league back then the old way
After 17 years, I'm proud to say he was and still is my favourite basketball player! Melo 🔥
Same bro. Still watching him on Blazers!
Lol I still got the Syracuse jersey but to small now
Nah fr
All time my favorite
I still have his oak hill jersey, its faded but it's from 2004
Couldn’t believe he was a freshman. Most polished college player I’ve seen. Excellent post player, great transition/open court, mid range, long ball, good handles, good rebounder, played through contact...different
DIFFERENT
Zion Williamson and Melo the best freshman fr
Facts. I’ll even throw KD in there but yeah, Melo was an all around bucket
This in SPADES!!!
@@Plants28not even close. Melo was totally dominant in college and won a natty.
looking at melo shot transformation is crazy , one of the smoothest jumpshots ever 💯
It really is doe
Melo and KD were NBA ready in college! It really wasn’t fair what Melo was doing to them kids! Best freshman ever in college!
Michael Beasley was better then kd in college
@@kee1074 no he wasn’t. kd scored more total points, steals, blocks and for his handle kd almost had more rebounds than Beasley in college.
Still deel this is debatable
The media told us this but all the freshman since that were great can challenge this
This Melo kid looks like he’s got potential. Could be a good NBA player
He almost made it
@@OhBonezz What could've been....
😂😂what
Y’all killin me
There has never been an NBA star that has delivered like Carmelo did for Syracuse during that championship year. It was fun to watch
Kobe LEBRON Garnett DIDNT need college just to name a few.
@@dootscoot1444 Even if they did went to college. It's not guaranteed for them to win a national championship their first year. Zion didn't need college and Duke did not even make it to final four even though they were one of the favorites to win the tournament. Melo won a national championship on a team that wasn't even ranked before the season start.
@@dootscoot1444 and ??
WRONG!!!
Larry Johnson >
I remember everyone watching Melo during this time was shocked he was a freshman, he played like a senior.. Knew he was going to be a top pick in the draft.
And was picked after…Darko Milicic
Bruh I was shocked that he didnt go straight to the NBA. Lool
Young Carmelo Anthony in college was a different breed🔥🔥🔥
That picture of melo holding the newspaper after is still iconic 🤩
Possibly the most skilled freshman ever.
His tourney run was special.
His worst game in that tournament was against Oklahoma State, who had a guy named Tony Allen guarding him for a lot of it. He ended up being one of the best defensive wings in NBA history. Auburn had Marquis Daniels, who had a 10 year NBA career. Melo looked like a polished NBA all-star level player at 18 years old. As great as he was, that Syracuse team was fairly loaded. They had Warrick at PF, who was an all-american the next 2 years, and played 8 years in the league. Gerry McNamara is a legend at Syracuse, and not just because of 2003. They had a solid bench that year too.
Tony Allen? Whoa. Ty
you out here naming the whole Oklahoma state line up relax bro they lost
I’m pretty sure it was Melvin sanders guarding him
@@chamaeleonair9709 I named 1 Oklahoma State player.
@@hartsickdisciple good morning papi
I remember watching every game of melo when I was a kid. The greatest freshmen in NCAA history !
More ridiculous is who is the greatest highscool straight to NBA player ever?
@@ShutDFckOff Kobe Bryant
Kevin Durant
Derrick rose 🌹
All-time NCAA starting 5: Kareem, Larry Legend, Magic, MJ, and Carmelo Anthony🔥
I don't disagree with that
I'm taking Durant ova carmelo
@@mansamusa7896 not in college sorry
@@mansamusa7896 In college you tripping and if was on Golden state in his prime he would have 2 to 3 rings also same shiii different day. Lets not overrated Durant now
Jimmer Fredette at the 1??
Carmelo Anthony is a legendary basketball player and is one of the best basketball players who has ever played basketball. When he played at Syracuse that is when most people who knows basketball knew he would be a hall of fame basketball player
One of the best scorers and mid-range shooters in NBA history.
I was 13 just turning 14 during this run. Greatest NCAA March Madness year ever!
After seeing all of this the pistons still chose darco the whole front office should've been fired for that immediately
When young Melo was flooding it was crazy. At one point he was unstoppable on the block... Quickness and strength. The NY rip with the 3s only..Long term investment on those knees. One of the best. Given props.
Melo was the 1st real dominant freshman of this century. He made the rd open for many. Don't believe he was 1st team AA even though he avg 20/10. Crazy to think
Yeah, that was a joke. They didn't put him on the 1st team, but he was clearly the best player in the country.
Clearly the best player in the country
At dat time Melo was hands down the best young prospect ready to go to the nba
Melo is ONE of BEST scorers of all time....top five easily
Carmelo is one of the best 3 level, iso scorers of all time. An underrated skill as an offensive player is the ability to manipulate the defenders body and use their physicality against them. A lot of scorers are looking to avoid the defender while Carmelo is looking for the contact.
He was unstoppable
Melvin sanders did an amazing job of guarding Anthony in that ok st game.
Living legend people who play ball respect him and know he's the truth
@IG: confused_melo For FACTS #Ginga he only played college one year and won the chip and once he got to the league never got any help
@@thomasjohnny5998 don't answer to this dude he's a hater melo is a goat
Yeap say no more. Should've been the 2nd pick behind Lebron in the 03 draft
Straight up real ballers respect melo
Best iso player ever behind Jordan Kobe and kd. Then there’s harden after melo
Melo still using the same moves today
I was 13 when melo came to college here at Syracuse and I still have his autograph from when I met him at the mall I’m 34 now and I’ll always remember these days!
My favorite player 🥺
🤣😂 feel sorry for you bro. KOBE DA GOAT
@@dootscoot1444 naw Michael Jordan is
The real R0Y 2003 season and 2013 nba real mvp my idol carmelo anthony
Syracuse Loves you Melo!!!!🍊🧡🍊
One of the best collegiate players i ever saw in my life Melo 💯 🔥 🏀
Smooth asf!
That's crazy. Melo was hands-down the best player in college as a freshman.....Hands down. Took Cuse straight to championship
One of my top 10 players all time personally 💯
Stepback play was nasty. Didn't realize it was out this long!
When he came out of college with the nation title, many thought he will be able to win some chips in NBA. But since he left Denver, always seem somewhat dysfunctional. Only if he played with the right system, Melo could have been really special.
If he's still in his prime in today's game, he'd be a top player
You talkin like he’s not a first ballot hall of famer lol
Maybe maybe not. The Knicks built their system around him -- he was their guy -- and they never achieved much success. As a Knicks fan I'm jaded, but I think the jury is out as to whether a Melo-centric roster could ever win a chip
to be clear I think the answer is: no, it couldn't ever win a chip. The Knicks shouldn't have ever traded for him
@@charlesgerard5721 No offense to Amare but the Knicks should've saved the amnesty clause for him. Makes me wonder which player would have went to NY had they amnestied Amare. The Knicks won 54 games in '13 with him playing only 29. Knicks could've signed Chris Paul had they amnestied Amare.
My favorite hybrid forward player. One of the best to play in and out with so much swagger too.
Man he was such a certified bucket !🔥
Legend.🇵🇷
bird was on a different level. however, Carmelo as a shooting /offensive forward was probably right behind him as far as I have seen. Everytime he touched the ball it was going in. post/outside/inside. complete offensive threat.
This was best run by a freshman since magic G
And this is when we KNEW, MELO was DIFFERENT!!!!
He was my favorite player
best college basketball player ive ever seen
Bring back the college basketball games 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 on the new consoles!!
He should have been the Rookie of the year 2003-4...
Can we talk about how loaded the Big 12 was that year? OSU, OU, Texas, and Kansas in the finals? Couldn’t imagine watching that conference tournament.
They should've given Syracuse the Big 12 title, as well as the natty.
My favorite one year in college by far he was a beast
Throwback 🔥🔥🔥
Truly one of the best one of done players to win it all
One of the best iso players ever
So much game. This dude was the truth.
Besides AI in 96, Melo was MY favorite college player of all time
Top 5 college player all time in he only played one year 🤧
Such a smooth jumper, imo he was a bit ahead of his time
Melo was killing them out there...😷
One of the best hybrid forwards of all time hands down
MELO 🇵🇷🇵🇷
No one ever walked through the NCAA tournament like Mello there was just no chance teams were beating him or outshineing him. At that moment he was HIM
Beast mode Melo 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🏀🏀🏀
Lol crazy part it was one game away from melo vs wade in the NCAA finals
I was in heaven this year was only 16 only paying a phone bill😂 my fav college had my 2nd favorite player ever(became a fan when I saw him play vs bron in my city) and we won the ship!!!
I remember watching this tournament and man when I say Melo had ice water in his veins. Syracuse was always my favorite college basketball team and I was born in 1972 so you get my point. This 2003 season Melo put on a clinic
Too smooth MELO
I didn't name my son after this dude for nothing lol #MeloMan
Syracuse 2003 MVP 💍
A legend of his era
Melo on 🔥🔥🔥🏀🏀🏀
This is what the game translates too the next level looks like
Coach Boeheim is a genius
We took dark .... never will get over it
How could the pistons ever take Darko over this guy 🤦🏾♂️
Imagine if Pistons drafted him instead of Denver. He would’ve won a ring or two
Those idiots drafted Darko Milicic 🤦🏿♀️ All because Larry Brown was too high on himself.
Everything could have been different if the Pistons got him or D Wade. Whoever decided on Darko should never be involved in any professional basketball team again.
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
First Ballot Hall of Famer
It's like when that pro guy comes to the gym and makes killing everyone look easy and you just want him to leave cuz he doesn't belong lol
I still can’t believe Detroit passed up on Carmelo
This is my favorite March Madness tournament of all time. Syracuse Orangemen National Champions. 🏆🍊🧡💙
#RedhookShit.... Melo one of the best to do it... def. my top 5 picks...
#GodMelo
The big dawg
I cant lie he was the coldest dude in college bball that yr.
Miss these days the big east syracuse being relevant. Hope we get Kiyan
He did damage against MAAC Champion Manhattan College of Riverdale the Bronx. The great Bobby Gonzalez coached them. My father’s Alma Mater.
Melo’s bag is so special. First ballot HOF!
Man melo was cold i remember this run, but how is Oklahoma a 1 seed and playing all the way in upstate ny never noticed back then, but shouldn't they have been playing in the Midwest closer to home it was like a home game for Syracuse
No nba ring but college chip is good also
Too good mostly because when hes the one carry orange to win the chip
Melo yellow 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He should be on the hall of fame. He won as a freshman in college
Here after watching all the smoke…had to check out some old melo footage
How a dude this talented never got 1 title in the league is crazy to me
Idk. Watching him in the nba it seemed pretty obvious why he never won.
@@Musso88 wasn’t because of lack of talent.
because talent does not mean team.
HE WAS A MONSTER ON THE COURT PLAYING PRO MATIRIAL BACK THEN
The will to win
Melo best freshman in ncaa history Syracuse was never good again after he left
Melo been giving mfs WORK
Melo#7 👑 Hopefully he can win a ring with the Lakers
That boy was nice! HOF 1st ballot.
