Carmelo Anthony - Postup Powerhouse
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2016
- Carmelo Anthony is a 9 time NBA All-Star, 2 time Olympic Gold Medalist (soon to be 3 time, unless a massive upset occurs in Rio), and an NBA scoring champion. He finished the season 13th in scoring (21.8 points per game), but his Knicks had the 3rd worst record in the East (ahead of Philly and Brooklyn). At 32 years of age, his best chance for gold comes at the end of the NBA season. If Carmelo wins Olympic Gold, he will be the first male basketball player (across all nations) to win 3 gold medals.
What we’re here to talk about is Melo’s ability to post up. It wasn’t until about a season and a half into being a New York Knick that Melo decided to allow himself to play the Power Forward. Once that happened, he thrived by absolutely obliterating smaller players with his size and strength, and embarrassing bigger guys with his quickness and bag of tricks. Ever since then, Carmelo’s post game has continued to be one of the only functional aspects of the Knicks offense. Pay close attention to his footwork and how low he gets. He fluctuates between wisely taking what the defense gives him and just putting his head down and going through everyone to get to the rim. He’s poised in the paint, with his pump fakes, pivots, stepthroughs, and power through contact. He’s really a joy to watch when he gets rolling.
I recognize that Melo catches on the wing a lot and isolates from there. It isn’t ideal post play, but at the same time, he’s a bull and he just bullies players so he can back in. Yes, it's a lot of faceups, but you can still learn from it. For future reference, bigs (and any player that wants to play in the post), you catch the ball just above the box (like Melo does on a lot of these), and go from there. The reason for that is one dribble, and you’re right at the rim. If you catch on the wing, you’re allowing the defenses to zone the strong side (think Thibs’ Bulls) or shade defenders your way (think the 2015 Warriors in the Finals against LeBron). If you’re still reading this, you probably already know this, but when you’re posting up, you do the work BEFORE the ball is entered to you. Rim run. If you're bodied up at the free throw line or higher, rip through and get behind your guy. When he tries to seal a side, swim move over. Work to get post position, then LOCK your defender in.

Melo's footwork is fantastic.
It's more his brain work than foot work, he use all fints and moves which he saw in his international and in his NBA career
bruh the brain controles the feet
Hakeem should be collecting royalty checks. Hahaha
His signiture spin move is a travel though.
Ramiel Iglesias if you're referring to hakeem, out is not. It's when the ball leaves your hand, not when it hits the floor
His touch and control while keeping defenders at bay...Melo's stronger than he looks
His core strength is good
He looks strong tho lol
Wayne Brady Kobe said it himself, Melo is strong as a Bull. I mean come on, have you seen his size
Hes strong but the cpaches ruin him... they put him in pf pos.. in that case he will look smaller and tired much faster ehich can affect his offense
And deceptively quick
Hes just too big and strong in the post to deal with, And the footwork is amazing too #StayMe7o
asian dude yeah
@6 languages and 4 degrees Ok
I agree. Melo was 6'8", 235 pounds and he knew how to use his body in the post. He had excellent footwork, but he also had deceptive quickness with the ball in the post. He was a dog
I swear melo is the only sf I know that's a better post player then power forward and centers lol
What about Larry Bird?
LeBron? The man that can play and guard any position.
kd can't guard him either.
Kobe D Wade Melo all have disgusting post up games at their positions
Alain Lamour zgb
Melo is so beautiful too watch.
Nicholas Ablong woah there buddy
That's gay bruh
just_2swift 😂😂😂
bunch of insecure men here. I agree bro.
john cena nah that’s gay bro
Carmelo Anthony can virtually score on anyone at anytime. Melo was 6'8", 235 pounds. He just cannot be stopped in the post. He has a very quick first step off the dribble. He has a spin away dribble, explosive left hand dribble, post up fade away jump shot, turn around jump shot, spin around up and under move, and a lethal drop step or jab step dribble. He has the size, strength, excellent footwork to get inside the lane and score. He is probably the most fundamentally skilled basketball player in the NBA. Kobe Bryant once said that Anthony is more difficult to guard compared to LeBron James.
nahh he'll post up and and make dimes all game lol
that's why cavs needs him, klove can't give you that.
that's why cavs needs him, klove can't give you that.
bensoflyyy he drop buckets on lebron with Ease all da time melo better than lebron shorty😂💯
TJ Lord... Melo is my favorite player... but Labron's size speed and ball handling passing skills makes him a better all around player. Everyone knows that the only person that can stop Melo from scoring is Melo.
Melo played grown man ball and people be hating🤔🤔🤔
He was little clutch on the nba bubble
@@kelvs45 sad the quemestry is messed up
melo is underrated. excellent player
Bo G he's deff. It underrated he gets a lot of respect as a superstar. He just got older now
He's not underrated. He's just offense focused. Doesn't do much else to help his team. He's a 1 on 1 player.
Christopher Callaway - like Harden, Durant, etc .... ever watch the playoffs? ISO is still used a lot.
@@-007-2 yes but Melo can't average a triple double to save his life. He only has 2 for his whole career!!
A work of art. Purely a masterpiece. The angles, the footwork, body control. I love to play on the post now
@@oldschoolpktrue but they don’t feed players in the post these days. They live and die by the 3 point line
The man could flat out score. Hate all you want, one of the best pure scorers the NBA has ever seen.
Melo is so underrated. He was one of the best scorers in NBA history in his prime
Most of his buckets are contested
@@pickslim2977 You right, that makes his all-time scoring numbers even more impressive.
Nah he’s rated just fine. This isn’t Rucker Park. It’s NBA. A league where team ball and defense wins and Melo wasn’t interested in either. Everything he did was for his own stat line. Not only that, but he had no sense for the business of the game. Instead of going to NY as a free agent he forced a mid season trade that gutted the Knicks, which was great for him because he got to shine and start summer early after the first round sweep.
@@TheRealTurkFebruary yeah you're right I didn't know back then lol
Underrated, Never
Melo is my favorite player and it hurts how he got pushed out the league I feel like if he came back be would still be an offensive force
He lost so much of his power to post up players like that possession bu possession...but he can give u 15 a night in his sleep
@@axilleas0114 that's a fact and I'll take it a step further and say he can still get 20 a night
@@DjAssassin98 to me if he used properly he can do that...and if he feels that the team is trying to do something serious he will try to be a good in defense as he can be... obviously he didnt want to play D in a team with a statpadder or a team with james harden and just hitting contested threes.... FREEMELO
@@axilleas0114 I'll buy some of that
He didnt get pushed out, he's just inefficient and his game doesnt translate to wins.
this video sums up why my favorite player is Carmelo
his post ups are better than most of the big men
Just hakeem wins that
Melo have better post up game than LeBron and KD.
so >lb can carry the team, but he cant do sht .
+HOOO HOOO OK we all know he's a better all around player damb but he said Carmelo has a better post game than lebron which is true so him carrying a team us irrelevant in this discussion.smh lmaooo
Musa Mansa nah. how you know , there is some what a relation with that
Musa Mansa like 100% i m sure i can feel like he just dont like lb and kd
no shit sherlock :D
there should be a video of all the time he headbutt the ball after laying it in 😂😂
lol true i was thinking that too
lit
that and tapping his head after making 3's
Dude gets no foul calls. Any other player would be goin to the line on 90% of these moves
tell that to harden😄
Compared to todays nba definitely. The game sure changed you can’t even brush a player without a call now
This video, aside from whats the obvious, IS PROOF POSITIVE THAT MELO GETS NO FUCKING CALLS!!!!!! Worst officiated superstar in the league based on the refs bullshit "perception"
Yup. He doesnt get calls because he doesnt know how to flop.
kvn lex
Thats true. Melo plays straight up, not like a bitch!
I saw agree I've never seen a superstar not get any calls he should have as much or more than harden and on a bum knee he avg 20 & 8 with limited minutes come on son
+jasonw3486 Yup. no one can beat harden. he always swing his arms to get contact for a whistle. #floppybeard
+Esau is The Devil flopping doesn't make u a bitch, the game has evolved so that's how everyone gonna play.. you can't call someone a bitch for adapting to the change. it's free points, you take whatever points u can get to win.
Before KD, melo was unstoppable offensively !
"unstoppable" like Harden, shooting 45/36/82
Notice all his buckets are contested
The level of defenders he was cooking. Impressive
dude can work giannis, bron, kawhi, and jimmy butler in the post
someone gotta give him a shot this year
................
I love ME7O's agility and strength with that supreme touch on the block. Inspiring... #Kudos
Giving all your best defender’s that work. Happy retirement Me7o
Melo is my favorite Player, but he'd really be dominate if he played 80% Inside & 20% outside...he shoot to many deep 2's & 3s
Reginald Marks you get tired playing in the post bro. You exert alot of energy trying to shake off defenders
cause they really don't call fouls on him
January's Own94 a
January's Own94 i think I disagree with u bro ,Melo is a good player overall regardless where you put him he gets results but his focus is not there anymore knowing he still dont have a ring and his team is slightly mediocre. He's my favorite stretch 4 and NYX is still my fav team.
The Don Shinobi you could say the same thing about LeBron though. I know LeBron is great scorer but whenever I watch his games I'm just like, stop shooting the ball and get into the paint. No one can stop LeBron and he does better trying to get to the paint.
Carmelo is the perfect small forward. Shooting guard with power forward capabilities
You need to be able to play defense and facilitate somewhat as a small forward both which Melo lacks
Best flawless scorer in da league StayMelo7💪🐐
My favourite NBA highlight video, Happy retirement melo. 🧡💙
Just found your channel, amazing basketball breakdown. I'm showing my players these videos before workouts routinely now.
The attention to detail and footwork is what separates players at the next level. All the guys are top level athletes.
thanks for this video. Melo is so underrated.
I swear to u this is the reason I fell in love w/his game Denver, his early NY days--the Guy was an absolute monster on the block! Could face-up, post-up. He's having a very good yr in Portland, but it was hard to watch him jack up 3's all game long the last few seasons. The post game, will NEVER fade (No pun intended)
Absolutely a thing of beauty his offense. Melo’s talent is special.
I feel so bad as a knicks fan. We stole this man's prime.
Actually he just failed to learn how to play team basketball. Melo will always be remembered as the dude who preferred to lose than let J Lin run the offence and win.
naw he sucked
he did it to himself tbh
These 3 replies to you all fail to comprehend that the knicks front office has not been competent in building a very competitive team for 2 decades now.
@@badxgrass Super facts. We(the Knicks) traded away all of our depth: Gallo, Felton, Chandler, Mozgov) at midseason when Melo was about to be a free agent that summer🤦🏿♂️
Carmelo is forever dope.... Very dominant! I'll be glad when he wins a championship!
Amazing player , amazing shooter, definitely Melo is one of the best to10 15 to 20 feet inside the perimeter.
And from the 3 point line, and everyone on the web keeps saying melo is not even a top 30 player, he's definitely a top 15-20 even in the out of shape condition he's in, he's still more valuable then most of the do called stars, if he was on the sixers or Lakers they would be a problem
Damn he posted up Jimmy Butler hella times.
My all time favorite player. Love the way he plays
Thing with Melo is that he always played with other superstars who were just as much a defensive liability as he was. i.e. Iverson in Denver, and Amare @ Knicks. So even when his teams were good, they never could make it past the 2nd round.
Also playing in an era where SF evolved to PF or even C, and where players in his position had to guard multiple position didn't help him at all.
Melo is still a HOF, but his legacy could have been painted in a different color had he just been playing for the right organisation, surrounded by right players.
Much agreed
Biggus Dickus ahh melo made it to the wcf in 09 !! fun fact
Biggus Dickus
He made it to the wcf in 09 without iverson soooo
He should be teammates with Kawhi.
That can be said for any great player without much success in post seasons. lol
footwork and skills combined plus the height! fun to have watched and studied his moves
Thank you for making this.💯💯
to think Butler can Guard almost anyone. Butler has been abused by Melo at least 10 times in this video lol in the post. I see even Melo putting it through lebron and giannis as well in the post. best post player hands down
respexr to butlers D definitely but yeah, abuse.
+begbrain it's not butlers fault he isn't melos size
Butler is a strong guard that can be an SF in today's game but Melo is a grown man on this league
Lebum also 😂
Imagine if he would of had another all star with him & a good team around him 💯
Idol carmelo anthony im your no# 1 fans to philipine i wish you change team and team mates 2017💪
Probably the best post scorer under 6'10" all time
godMelo was fouled on the majority of these plays. The refs and NBA never call fouls on him. His scoring average would greatly increase if he was sent to the foul line like he should. SMDH
its cuz he doesnt flop
Graig Denis Yeah. Melo is a lot of things, but he ain't no flopper
exactly
thank you
You are right
He is a lot of things
Good things or bad things
But man ain't no flopper
This is the advantage he has over KD. I personally think Melo can take KD or LeBron in a 1 v 1. Melo just is so versatile on offense. His post up game gives him an advantage offensively tbh.
100✔ melo can win 1 v1 with bron but im a fan of bro and i respect how melo play the game 🔥
those were the days..i miss u melo..wish u the best..
Melo was one of the most talented scorers the game has ever seen... If he had the drive to win of a Kobe he could have easily been the GOAT.
He didn’t have the team or pieces to win. He iso scored a lot playing the two and three because that was his job. That’s why he was hired and that’s what coach wanted. I say it was more bad coaching and not having talent that messed well.
Melo cookin Butler so many times 🤣🤣
This is where Carmello is at his BEST & I frankly, I think we ALL miss this version of Melo.' 6'8 230/240 skillful lbs--u can't stop that. Too many 3's & bad shots nowadays. If he has lost a step, he can benefit himself by getting back to the post especially in todays "SMALL ball"
Melo has the most complete offensive game in the league. If KD ever developed a post game he would be nearly unstoppable.
The Truth KD is to skinny to ever be successful in the post
The Truth Why do people keep comparing KD to Melo? KD is already a more versatile and efficient scorer.
This man almost never get called for fouls that's incredible
His core was strong af.
I have always liked his game. When I was little I used to idolized him and follow his footworks and intensity even if I play guard position I ask for iso from weakside and tell my coach let me play haha those were the times. Now I sucked.
Best playlist
Best offensive player to ever played in his prime not he cannot do #respect
I wish he could play one more season. I kind of miss him in the league
Now that Kobe is gone he's the most complete scorer in the game.
KD is still
KD is not as strong as Melo in the post, and he doesn't have the footwork like him either, KD relies a lot on his handles, his shot, and his length.
+ezt123 dp He's better at everywhere on the floor than Carmelo
+Michael Bishop What about him?
+Michael Bishop I'm not a Curry or Warriors fan, but Steph still shot 40% from 3 against Cleveland
great scorer
Melo never got the respect he deserved... His post up game is a thing of beauty. Him and kyrie Irving are my two favorite players to watch currently...
Thank u for making this
People forget how beautiful his shooting form is.
Best post player in the league.
Love Carmelo's finesse around the restricted area/FT line extended
Melo just COOKS Butler everytime
One of the few players, who when he leave's the game, we will look back and say: Nobody could guard him!
Few of players are able to contact against Lebron physically, but Melo is.
Now I can show evidence that Melo has a post game. Try again, haters.
Honestly, I think Melo is one of the most entertaining playera to watch. His personal offensive game is just as unguardable as anyone else (including the GOAT). If he started his career in today's NBA and he can increase his stability as a spot-up shooter, this man can seriously dominate... Don't forget, before the Greek Freak, Melo is the best SF rebounder, he can easily grab 10+ boards every game and even 20 (with like 10 offensive rebounds from his own misses).
He was killing Jimmy butler in lot of these clips
He literally killed everyone smh
Beautiful footwork by Melo.
Poetry in movement.
3:53 was a very tough shot but when your melo your like jello-o don't no wtf that means just always been a sayin for me 😂😂
on most of the clips he's being guarded by very good if not the best defenders on the respective teams
Melo's footwork is so fucking beautiful
Bro thrived in the phil jackson triangle system, it was practically built for his playstyle would definitely be a strech 4 today im the right system okc rockets misused him but he had a decent resurgence in portland. Definitely one of the greatest scorers of the modern era up there with bron KD Kobe curry
Footwork crazy.
og finna get that work next year
One thing about melo he never try to get a pick and get a mis match, that boy just go at there best defender lol he was tuff
That's not really smart though. Is it about ego or winning? Melo was and is a beast though.
@@estebanb7166 NBA today all about soft switching, gets boring.
@@redman6790 Sure...
@@estebanb7166 you disagree?
@@redman6790 Changing the illegal defense rule has had a big impact on the way the game is played. Plus, players are simply more able to switch effectively. The officials certainly have dragged the game down, though.
In all honesty and complete transparency. I did NOT realize he was that good in the post! #newfoundrespect
The craftiness reminds me of Dirk.
Such precision. What a clinic
His post play official!!!
I love how he plays like he ain't got no time for screens LOL
best 1 on 1 player in the league
This man is amazing 🔥🔥💯💯😤😤👏👏👌👌💪💪🗣🗣
The NBA did my man Mello wrong, he should still be playing SMH
he did this to himself..Rockets were the second worst team in the west because of him.He should thank Westbrick for carrying him to the layoffs one last time
he was always overrated...can score but not much help anywhere else. 😂
@Lance Cropper u a dumbass. melo literally makes every contending team worse. he belongs on a lottery team bc his play style isnt for teams that are trying to win. too bad he cant humble himself and take a paycut bc hes definitely not worth the hassle he brings to the court.
Lol man cool it with that...Melo not in the league right now because the dude dont play a shred of defense
@@zacharypeery4082 And Harden does? 😂
He’s a artist bruh wtf 🔥🔥🔥
He's going to OKC.
How are teams stopping this when they already have a defense focused on russ and pg. It's GG
Expecting more of bully Melo now at the 4
Evin Gualberto yeahhh boyyy!!
HAHAHAHAAH
Jack Otto this didn't age well lol
Went crazy on that right box 💪🏾
Half of these plays I’m constantly asking, where’s the foul?? It’s ridiculous
This is the way Melo should be utilised. Posting up on the high/low block, isolation opportunities, driving in and drawing the contact. The scoring champion didn't get this opportunity in OKC and he didn't play to his strengths. I hope this changes so people still realise how great this guy really is.
Melo's fadeaway was elite!
Can you please make a Dirk Nowitzki video like this
Yes. It's almost done actually. It should be up either this Sunday or the one after that.
Bro ain’t nobody can copy that I seen him post up center’s couple times. Melo got crazy Strength
Miss this guy
You think Jimmy would learn lol
He can’t guard Melo
King of post up ❤
Best scorers ever
1. Kobe
2. Jordan
3. Anthony
(Durant pull up game nice but he not coming in the paint unless he coming to flop for a foul)
This man has a smooth shot and he was a beast when he was in the post and that's why he scored so many points in his career. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
This is why I don't play defense.
In the post - you get bodied, you put a hand up, you force a series of moves but they still make the shot.
In the perimeter - you play good defense all day but once you get crossed its on IG forever.
Why even bother lol
Probably the weakest comment I've ever seen.
The fuck is this comment, that's like in football, why play even defense if the opposing team still can get touchdowns. in soccer, why play defense if the guy can still get by you and score. Bro the point of defense isn't to completely stop someone every time. No one is that good at defense, the point is to force the toughest shot so they miss, block the majority of kicks into the goal to avoid scores, make the touchdown pass more difficult/ intercept. I know it's a joke but come on.
lol what
joshua Schoen real talk
It's probably because you're a bad defender. Haha. Stop pointing fingers and take ownership of your weakness and improve it. lol.
