From NBA Superstar to Journeyman Carmelo Anthony Stunted Growth!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- In today’s feature we’ll look at a player that at the end of the day is a top 75 of all time, a top 10 points leader, 10 time all star, scoring champion yada yada and the list goes on for what you’d expect a former NBA superstar to accomplish. Yet why does it feel like with Carmelo, he doesn’t get the respect his peers like Lebron James and Dayne Wade gets, and hasn’t had the all time great sendoff some believe he deserves to have. Many even think he should still be in the NBA right now, but no team would sign him because the consensus is it’ll be subtraction by addition. Like somehow the team would be better off not having to deal with the on court baggage Melo has historically brought to a team. Like for instance his playoff plus minus, which measures a player’s impact on the game, representing the difference in their team’s scoring vs the opponent’s while the player is on the floor, was negative in all but 4 out of the 19 he’s played in the league, a vast difference than his regular season play, where only 6 of those 19 seasons were negative, all toward the beginning of his career where he dealt with injuries and figuring out the NBA in his younger years. Carmelo was the talk of the town when he came back home to the Knicks, with expectations for him to lead them to the promise land, at least the conference finals one time. He spent 6 full seasons with the team from 2011-12 - 2016-17, and missed the playoffs 4 times as the captain of the ship, losing 4-1 in the first round and then 4-2 in the semifinals his first two seasons in New York. From SUPERSTAR To Journeyman Carmelo Anthony Stunted Growth!

When he was in NY, he was one of my favorite players. Used to hoop outside on my rinky dink hoop yelling "Melo!" shooting around 😂
Facts 😅
@@stuntedgrowth you might as well get the Ja Morant video ready
At least he has three Olympic gold medals
@@ii9714and the college national championship and NCAA Player of the Year award. Nothing to sneeze at. Future hall-of-famer as well.
This man lead a team that won 17 games the year before he joined to the playoffs.. IN THE WEST AS A ROOKIE. Give that man his flowers
LeBron took his garbage franchise to the finals. Wade put his garbage franchise on his back on a crazy playoffs run. Melo was just a better Tracy McGrady but less athletic 🤣
@@carboy101 actually a worse George Gervin with ball hog tendencies

There no stunt growth at all

I knew this day would come, when it comes to my boy, Carmelo Anthony.
😢 yep. Almost couldn't watch
He blew away his God given talent because his brain was too stupid let his ego get the best of him.
chris pauls is the day i dread as a fan lmao
@@pineapplegritz7281 💯
Melo got whiteballed by nba cause of dead former nba commissioner David stern , he told melo not to go see Farrakhan, met em anyway, thst was the stunted growth, and returned to league, stern ended up dead tryna intervene with God affairs..
Knew it was over for Melo when he went to OKC and made that comment about coming off the bench.
Damn I ain't think I'd ever see a Melo video
I always saw Melo to Lebron what Dominique Wilkins was to Jordan. What separates Jordan and Kobe (to a lesser degree) from Melo is they understood utilizing teammates and playing defense. Team USA Melo was the best version of him because he did all the little things he refused to do as a leader on his teams in his prime. Portland and Laker Melo was cool because he seemed to finally get team first concept and veteran leadership. He should've been Memphis's vet.
Facts I always said also that Carmelo Anthony to LeBron James in 2010s way the what Tracy McGrady to Kobe Bryant in 2000s
@@kingrison1647 Oh dang T-Mac to Kobe is a great observation! So it really is like a cycle. The one thing I'll give T-Mac over Dominique and Melo though is passing. He did make teammates better, but yeah still missing some other carry a team to a championship intangibles.
@@rashb3994
Facts 100%
Tracy McGrady had all the tangibles the athleticism the physical talents and gifts but he lacked the winning intangibles mentality thats why he couldn't win or get past 1st round
If you just looked at tangibles McGrady and Kobe near even
But Kobe Bryant intangibles wanted it and more driven to greatness then Tracy McGrady
Spot on! Ironically, I used to call Melo “Little Nique”! 🤣
@kingrison1647 I Would Say Vince Carter Rather Than T-Mac.
Outside of a ring & MVP . I think Melo accomplished everything you possibly could in the NBA .
Carmelo Anthony 0 rings, 0 finals appearances, 0 league mvps, 0 all NBA first team selections, 0 all defensive teams not a great player just a one dimensional volume scorer with a 44.7% fg
@@kingrison1647 10x all star, 6x all nba, 1 scoring title but you right he is wack. Jokic is numero uno❤
@@dkdebest
I never said Carmelo Anthony wack those your words
You just trying to twist my words when you have no real argument to refute facts I laid out
This is what I said slow poke👇👇
Carmelo Anthony 0 rings, 0 finals appearances, 0 league mvps, 0 all NBA first team selections, 0 all defensive teams not a great player just a one dimensional volume scorer with a 44.7% fg
These are no longer stunted growth stories. The kind of story about dudes who couldn't make it at the next level and where out of the league in a few years are the type of story I watch this channel for. Technically he could do a stunted growth story on Lebron James if he's now stretching the definition of type of story considered stunted growth... Like LeBron never won as many rings as Jordan so I guess his career is a failure right.... He gets more views doing stories on Names people recognize than on obscure names casual fans don't remember.
@@kingrison1647 4 Gold Medals to his name! Melo was the greatest US player in international competition. How many medals does Team US win if he doesn't play and is the leader of those squads?
People hate on melo hard but as a Knicks fan he was a bucket and had the garden rocking so I personally love melo🤷♂️
Carmelo was too caught up in having star power instead of having real drive to win and he wasn't up on business when it came to the way players started having shorter deals to keep them from being stuck somewhere too long while melo was still signing 5 yr deals with no opt outs.He's also prime example of the saying that the best player isn't always the leader of a team
And for the record I liked melo to me he was just as impactful as LeBron his first 7 years he just was in the loaded western conference but he did himself a disservice staying in New York past 2014 and now he's gonnabe considered a overrated unimpactful player when he was a solid winner n top 10-15 player the first 10 yrs of his career
@@mxhughes
LeBron 4 rings, 4 finals mvps, 4 league mvps, 6 all defensive teams way better player then Carmelo 0 rings, 0 finals mvps, 0 league mvps, 0 all defensive teams
So dont even compare them you embarassing yourself 🤣
--- Agree. Great player does not mean great leader.
Getting buckets is entertaining, but winning is more valuable. Lou Will, Jamal Crawford, and Melo are bucket getters -- w/ Melo being way better. But to one post, the 0 defensive teams is very indicative.
@@kingrison1647 if Carmelo played with that Denver out east he would've been an automatic top 3 seed title contender,he was in a loaded western conference that had the spurs,lakers,mavs,suns,sleeper teams that were tough like utah n houston.Melo was in the same room as LeBron in the 2000's only once LeBron started winning forreal did that stop being a conversation
@@kingrison1647 uhhh, hello??? 4 Gold Medals in the Olympics. Put some respeck to his name!
I don't think Melo's growth was stunted, people just have too much expectation of him because he was compare to LeBron always. Also I admire his mindset of having a team on his own and try to win with it rather than having A KD like career.
Totally agreed
Congratulations to Melo on the great career!
What’s weird is that on team USA he was damn near their MVP but for some reason never had that kind of impact on an NBA team
And he won the NCAA title literally all by himself as a freshman. His best work was outside the NBA.
I think a major stunt in his career was him not signing with Chicago in 2014 I believe. We all know how port of a defender Melo was and he would've had defenders all around that could've taken the pressure off of him defensively and offensively he could've still put up numbers. Chicago is a big market too not just New York.
Rose n Noah fell apart a yr later. He would've been losing in Chicago and been short 75 mill n everyone would've been calling him stupid for not getting the bag.Hindsight is a mf
@@29larron 5 words jimmy butler & Carmelo Anthony
@Ahmed Muharram that's if Jimmy even stays n chooses to play second fiddle to Melo and I doubt that cause it was already somn going on between him and Rose about who's team it was but wtf do I know I'm just a fan
And when he was in Chicago, he didn’t want to play.
@@29larron cuz dRose was injured most of the times he came back & traded in 2016 to ny if Melo there he wuda been out of there faster jimmy complements Melo very well defensively passing and get a bucket when he has too bulls woulda been sick I don’t think y’all remember ur timelines correct butler left chi in 2017 that’s 3 years after he joins and a year after rose got traded
Detroit not drafting Melo also contributed
If detroit piston would had draft melo he would had won a championship guaranteed and play team basketball
@@Tree372000
Facts
Melo was one of few bright spots for lakers last year . He def deserves a roster spot
From superstar to hall of fame 💯
Melo was great all time one on one player in the NBA, but the game change from iso ball to pick and roll basketball. Melo was one of the great Olympic player (4 gold medal ).
Greatest Team US player of all-time. Team USA does not win one medal if he doesn't play in those tournaments. Team USA Melo, GOAT.
Great video. But I don’t see how stunt #1 isn’t being drafted by the Detroit Pistons where there was a prime Chauncey Billups who he saw his best success with and a veteran team.
Where I think had a strong likelihood of winning a couple rings and that would have definitely altered his perception and legacy.
Right? That's gotta be #1 to me; that's a trajectory defining difference right there.
I'd say even kobe having those vets early on helped mold him even though he was a straight loner.
And 10 days later after this video it was officially announced that Carmelo Anthony has retired from the NBA. A New York Knick legend, I will always remember his plays and highlights. He would post you up like there is no tomorrow. 💪🏽💯
So Melo is like Dominique jus scoring but nuttin else. Great Players i hope dat dey both n Top 75
I always though Melo could have averaged a triple double years before Russ did. He had the rebounding and scoring, all he had to do was pass a little more, especially when double teamed. But Melo has always been about Melo. Instead of going to the Knicks in free agency, he forced his hand to be traded in a deal that saw the Knicks give up some good young talent that could have helped him win. I also think not being drafted by Detroit stunted his growth. If he had been drafted by that team full of veterans with on court and off court experience they could share with him as guidance, he may have realized that team success is what wins championships.

Nope harden completely changed his game for the team he is a Point Guard now
One of the best around scorers ever! A walking bucket 😊😮
I never clicked so fast. I know this gonna be good
I like Melo, I grew up watching him. But only averaging 2 assists a game as a superstar is bad and says a lot.
he should have just waited for the off-season to sign with the Knicks. I understand he wanted the most money but damn that Knicks team was good without him imagine if they got him without having to give up half their roster. those were great role players.
Still pisses me off till today smh
@@HooodClassicsTV TO THIS DAY!!!!!
TRUTH BE TOLD he only "REQUESTED" a trade to New York because his wife LaLa wanted to be in New York to further her "ACTING CAREER"
The fact that his teammates won with lebron and not him was a dagger
Lebron won with Kyrie and Kevin Love.
They were 4th and 5th options at best with LeBron. They were the 2nd and 3rd in NY you're gonna lose with that. As LeBron did in 2015.

Carmelo Anthony 0 rings despite playing with Amere Stoudemire, Allen Iverson, Chancey Billups, Paul George, Russell Westbrook, Damian Lillard, James Harden, Chris Paul
@@TheOutspokenIntrovert23
That's not true since Amere Stoudemire all star was 2nd option after Carmelo Anthony when they had Jr Smith and Iman Shumpert
Difference is LeBron way better player then Carmelo
That's why LeBron won with Jr Smith and Iman Shumpert
Facts. Shump & JR won w/ Bron.
Would love to see amare stoudamire on here someday. Injuries got him
He deserves this episode. Or he should be at least listed as a stunt to Melos career. Melos contract is mentioned as reason why the knicks couldn't build around him but he was worth every penny. Meanwhile Amare ate up 1/3 of the cap to take wine baths.
I remember when he demanded a trade to the Knicks. And the Knicks stupidly gave up all they young assets to get him. Even tho he was going to sign there as a free agent.
Yeah that was a bad move the Knicks could have just kept they players and signed Carmelo Anthony as a free agent and they would have had a deeper team
But bad teams make bad desperate moves
He never demanded to be traded … he said he didn’t wanna rebuild with Denver … the pieces the Knicks traded were either out of the league or washed in two years tops
@@bjjohnson9710 Wilson chandler, Danilo galanari, Raymond Felton after that trade played for more then 2 years
@@jopilot4126 were they any good … look it up .. Raymond Felton was so bad he got traded back to the Knicks

I still say he should’ve went to Chicago instead of NY 😤😤😤 smh
Top 5 pure scorer ever
Brother Carmelo Anthony is not a study group. He’s a top 75 players, sir, sir lord, have mercy don’t reach homeboy it’ll mess up your brand.
The Knicks were on fire right before Melo got traded. And during Linsanity they were winning. Melo ended both runs. I called his entire career during his rookie year and everyone said I didnt know what I was talking about.
Dam u been on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 500 degreez
Damn he right behind Shaq!! O'Neal gon luv dat😊
I wish he got more mature when he was still on NY. That was one of his best or the best form(talent-wise).
Should’ve stayed in Denver, I’ll stand by that forever.
He was this generations, Dominique Wilkins.
Wow i didn't see this one coming but it makes sense
Thank you for stating the fact that Amar'e was the leader of that team until injury got him gie hard Knicks fan it was so hard to watch basketball when Melo was on the Knicks
Melo was more concerned about him getting his points not team wins. His former teammate Mr big shot C. Billups said it Melo would rather score 30 and loose then score 20 and win. Him not wanting J Lin on the Knicks shows he was selfish and wanted the spotlight for himself
Chancey Billups NBA champion and finals mvp and former teammate and was right about Carmelo Anthony and that's why his ego took him out league wouldn't come off bench and care about scoring and not playing defense and making teammates better
Video clip in Olympics of Kobe Bryant the leader saying to teammates we need to get up at 5am to work out
Carmelo Anthony said I wasnt getting up at 5am

To keep a buck, this Stunted Growth episode was long overdue. 📼
Can you do Bonzi Wells next? I always wondered what happened to him, last thing I remember about him was being a beast in the 06 playoffs!
You’re not a journeyman if you start getting traded after 14-15 years … he was good enough and consistent enough to get two max contracts and a max rookie extension… hell of a career …. Even better investment portfolio…
I still feel like the Knicks idea for melo to go there was a rumor. He spoke on all the smoke saying he didn’t wanna leave Denver until George Karl & the gm started moving funny
Ego the size he couldn't check. Wasn't all that would not be all thar. Cocky is an understatement. He and Steve Francis had giant murals of themselves hanging in their offices all you need to know
A shame.
@@TheRetroWoman80 A damn shame!
This one Hurt me the worst I'm a SYRACUSE and KNICKS Fan remember being in the Dome watching him
Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle accomplished as much if not more in New York with the Knicks as Carmelo in a shorter time. Jokic surpassed Melo aswell with the Nuggets. This hurts so much saying that Carmelo was one of if not my favourite player growing up.
What did they accomplish? Losing in the second round ? As a Knicks fan Melo never had the team these guys had … they still haven’t had a better year then 54 games and a division title
They didn’t accomplish more stop the bullshit. Knicks won 54 games with melo. And got to game 6 just like randle and Brunson. And you notice how you compared melo to 2 players? That’s how fucking nice he is.
That 13 knicks are far better than the 23 team
🤥
You should start a series of stunted growth for NBA legends just for laughs
"SEEM like a ballhog" check Melo's assist stats
Can you do Marvin "Bad News" Barnes an ABA legend but disappeared in the NBA. Appreciate the content as always
if he didn't like Linsanity, he would definitely not like sharing the ball with other stars
What the hell, this dude is not stunted in any way. Like you said he's top 75 of all time, he did his thing man give him his due.
This video didn't acknowledge Melo's lack of defense, that was the MAIN reason he didn't win a championship. It did touch on his lack of a transitional game to an extent, but Melo's defense was non-existent.
One of the greatest chokers in nba history. Made it out the 1st round twice in 20 years
With his most consistent teammate being J.R. Smith?
Melo wasn’t a choker. His team was never good enough to compete in the playoffs outside. Melo balled.

Do Christian Laettner.
I had to share this video with my son who was a HUGE fan of Melo since his college years!!! I never cared for him much because of the FACTS you stated in this video!! He was a Certified JACK! Only concerned about HIS stats!!! He could have been better had he not had that defect 🤨
IMO, I believe his marriage to LaLa was a key factor in the problems as well. She always wanted to be in an area with the glitz & glam (LA, NYC, Chi Town, NOLA, etc) and not comfortable in a low-key city for the long haul (Salt Lake City, Portland, OKC, etc) and Melo wanted to keep her happy for all it was worth. That team hopping, just like job hopping, makes other teams think twice about investing time & money into a player bouncing around

I don't understand how carmelo is a stunted growth story he's a hof and has done everything except win a ring or mvp the only thing i think he did wrong in his career was staying in new york for too long
Doing it for views
carmelo easily could of had triple doubles the way he commanded double teams. Especially in the Pinch Post I cant tell how many times 3 point shooters were open or back cuts. Melo was just selfish and didn't know how to incorporate his team.

Great talent. But never had the right team around him, nor mindset to lead a team to the chip. Imagine if Melo won a ring in NY. He'd be in goat conversations. Do you look at he and KD's career different, even though an argument can be made that Melo could've won with GS too!
When you don't get excited about playing defense the way you do about scoring AND you're getting all this money AND you're on teams where many move and think similar to you and your attitude about the game of basketball....a championship is likely never going to come to fruition.
1996 Washington Bullets look at that roster and tell me they don't fit Stunted growth
He wouldn’t be in the goat convo bro chill 🤣🤦🏾♂️
Melo choose money over winning facts he was supposed to join bron and wade after he sighed with Knicks the heat went and got bosh so bosh has MELO two rings
Yo now you are reaching bro lol Thats The God now u hitting home lol
What are your thoughts on Atlanta hawks Josh Childress?
Thee GREATEST 3 level scorer “I’VE” ever seen I don’t care I don’t care I DON’T CARE!
Melo is the Fabolous of the nba. All the talent in the world... just couldn’t put it together
I hate ball hogs!! I’d rather play with Lebron!
Indeed
Agree with a lot. 1 of his problems was being compared to LeBron, KD, too.
My pops put me on game during the trio's primes last decade that since Bron brings up the ball and sets up plays he's really a PG or point forward, and therefore not comparable to the other 2.
I personally felt the Knicks had almost everything they needed to compete in Melo's time, which I know you disagree with.
I'm reminded of the 70s Knicks who had a lot of talent but not every big name and only really needed to mesh and to play for each other, as they said, to win. That last part is what the Melo-era Knicks lacked.
They had too many knuckleheads on that team, and again, as my dad said, "they quit on Mike Woodson".
I cannot lie, though: I loved watching the Knicks, back then.
Look at how they massacred my boy😢
He did it to himself
Lmaooooo damn that’s good. Classic.
Legend has it if he wasn't BLACKBALLED those few years he would have passed Kareem before you know who

Kareem 6 ring, 2 finals mvps, 6 league mvps way better player then Carmelo 0 ring, 0 finals mvps, 0 league mvp
Dont compare Carmelo to Kareem
You embarassing yourself
What Melo needed coming into the league was veteran leadership that would hold him to a standard not give him the ball and get out of the way like he got in Denver.
He should've been drafted by Detroit. That team would've made sure he achieved his potential.
But he was spoiled in Denver and that was that. Melo is NOT TOP 75 ever.
I think Carmelo’s biggest mistake was going to New York
Had Melo come out in 2004 he’d be more appreciated. I think Wade and LeBron just had better careers. He’s still very rich and a HOF player
With no ring!
Dwayne Wade better player then Carmelo Anthony
LeBron wayyy better player then Carmelo Anthony
Should been drafted by the Pistons
Amare doesn’t get hurt it changes the narrative. That hurt more than all.
Idk about stunted growth when it comes to Melo..he had a great career
If you kno you kno. Legend
Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett started that trend, not Bron
MELO WAS A STAR,. IT'S ALL POLITICS WITH MELO.
