Carmelo Anthony loves PR more than even so called Puerto Ricans athletes. Here in PR, and to be specific in Ponce, he trained with the Ponce team at a very young age. A coach here told him he had no future in basketball, fast forward a few years later and Melo was a star in Syracuse and went on to become an NBA player. Even with all of this, Melo still comes here, builds basketball courts through his foundations, spends time with people from these neighborhoods, and more. Yet, there are still some people who ask themselves why Melo decided not to play for Puerto Rico and play for the US instead; that's easy to answer, the coach who told him that he had no future was once in control of the national team, who in their right mind would like to play for a guy like him? To put it clear, Melo was not given a shot here so he instead explored with the US, and he's extremely successful there, where they believed in him. After all of this he stills believes in PR and does his charitable work here. No other Puerto Rican athlete, born and raised here, does that at the same magnitud Melo does. Carmelo Anthony is a true Puerto Rican.
+Bryan M. He was going to play but then the NCAA change the rules and declare the PR league, the BSN a profesional league. So he couldn't play. Before that the PR league was considered "amateur" because tecnically the players did not receive a salary but a diet compensation. Of course instead of $20 a day the diet was for the best players around 100K to 200k for a 3 month league, plus a car and an apartment. That way Carlos Arroyo play 4 years for FIU and at the same time earn close to 1 million in "diets" playing for Santurce. I think they sign Carmelo and he was going to Syracuse for around a month and then we will come to the end of the regular season to play for Ponce but at that time the NCAA change the rules. That was the reason he didn't play for Ponce.
Wow great info. Whoever's in charge of these national teams does a terrible job. They played their stars until they were like 40, never giving opportunities to younger guys. Now the team sucks and they haven't found an identity. Coming up in P.R. I've seen so much High school talent that should of already been on national teams, or at least given chances, yet there seems to be bureaucracy even on sports teams from PR.
Anthony J Robles Maldonado I made this observation 4 years ago. Over the course of that time I was seeing first hand many basketball players from my local university getting overlooked by the national league here. I know of two of them playing in college at good schools in US. I won't blame them if they decide not to play for the national team. There may not be a spot for them even if they wanted to, sadly.
I've been there and La Perla - San Juan is one of the most beautiful, culturally rich places I have visited and I have visited many paces. The people were wonderful, for a place and people that have been hit with such hard economic times - they hold their heads high and show so much pride. Such a beautiful people - Lindo Puerto Rico.
My man Melo, showing love for his Puerto Rican roots! My brother in law is very tight with him. Redhook Brooklyn baby. I hope one day I can help him along with other Boricua's, to rebuild our precious beautiful Island to it's glory days. God willing.
BreuckelensFinest I took my vacation there last year was supposed to be Jamaica but wanted to go an help in a small way by helping the economy by taking my vacation there it was amazing the people of PR are resilient and are making amazing progress with the little help or mid managed help they have gotten

Boricua from NJ over here. Love what Melos doing for our island. Prayers to my family out there and everyone who's enduring the tough economic times. Somos Los Boricuas. Borica Hasta la muerte
Su papá era puertorriqueño murió cuando Carmelo Anthony apenas tenía 2 añitos de edad. Lamentablemente su papá no le pudo enseñar como amar la isla, su gente ect ect, pero la sangre llama y es más fuerte. Carmelo regresa siempre a la isla y dice que está en casa. waoo!! Admirable! Muchos deben de emularlo. ❤ #boricuapaquetulosepas
Proud of Melo, because only few remember the low class, the slums, where they came from. But this man, not only remembers where he came from, he goes and blesses this people. To me that’s priceless. Thank you Melo. From Juana Matos and La Perla. Thank you.
As a fellow Puerto Rican that knows how rough things are right now in Puerto Rico, this brought so much joy to me. Ive been living in the states for a few years now, but Rican blood runs through my veins and its just great to see this short film that showcases some of the slum in my island. Im very thankful for what Melo does for the island. He is definitely a man of good intentions.
@@xxjer23xx91 we in the middle of a pandemic he can't join the Puerto Rican team because the fiba cup and Olympics are canceled so we gon be waiting for awhile now
Carmelo has done more for Puerto Rico then most athlete's for there country when Puerto Rico needed relief money when the hurricane hit melo donated more then 1 million dollars to help the people recover from the disaster spread all over the country melo showed his heart for his people , i love melo it shows his heart not just as a professional athlete but as a human being and his character people forget melo is half Puerto Rican so he's one of us.

All the stars do this kind D of shit, Melo, LeBron, Wade, Curry all of em. Melo taking it next level going to where his ancestors came from, the other half of his family from PR. Dude is next level modest, and just the humility that he had for others is inspirational. #StayMelo
when Carmelo was like 18 y/o I think, he was practicing for the Leones (Lions) of Ponce, Puerto Rico and a coach (whose name will never be revealed for the sake of his carreer) told him he wasn't "good enough" to play in Puerto Rico's pro league.. now he's an 11 time All Star in the best league in the world..
+Roberto Carlos He was going to play but then the NCAA change the rules and declare the PR league, the BSN a profesional league. So he couldn't play.

That is false. Carmelo practice with the cangregeros de Santurce but he was always a top talent he was never going to play in Pr. He was debating going to Nba straight out of high school so why would he even think of playing for scraps.
Shouts to Melo. I was in San Juan and Arecibo just this February 2019 and I enjoyed it very much. Made it to La Perla and surprisingly there were very few people walking the streets and not a soul on the basketball court on a beautiful mid day. Took some great photos there and around San Juan. I'm not going to sugarcoat the whole trip, since I was intrigued by the condition of how much of the city and other areas were in very bad shape (not seem hurricane related) It got me even looking into the economic history of the island, it's commonwealth of the United States, and the struggles of the people. Looking for hopefully great things in the future of Puerto Rico. I will be back one day. Yo soy mexicano.
Im Puerto Rican but was born and raised in Boston, Im living in Ponce, Puerto Rico for a year to work and the vibes here are cool af. Its good to see Melo doing this because people here really look up to and get inspired by pros like him who support their island when they dont have to especially now thar the economy is struggling.
Man.... VICE is one of the realest journalist ever. You guys do ACTUAL Journalism... the reason I know is because I know the struggle of the black and latino and inner city community.... and I know how poorly portrayed it is to the public. I've seen the rough side, and I've seen the happy side, and the happy side is 80% more prevelant than the rough side. And you guys show the whole story.... Its a constant battle between those who have given up hope in the hood and those who want to give back and lift people off the ground. And the major media outlets are blind to this, and if they know this, they censor it.... But I'm so glad the VICE actually does their job as Journalists....
+chem 123 Lol Latinos tend to be happy and love and joy what bull shit is this you guys have to move to another country to find jobs because your own country is shit
+ chem that's because latino's work do there jobs and make money while the rest of you fat ass's talk about Latinos an sit on the couch wondering why you don't have a job !!! Lol
We spent the day training with a group of Knicks and seeing the stadium that will house Melo's Puerto Rico FC NASL team. In the afternoon we took a trip to La Perla, one of PR's most notorious hoods, to hang out with reggaeton legend Tempo. *WATCH NEXT*: Stay Melo: Carmelo Anthony in the Streets of Cuba - bit.ly/1LVk6FJ
+VICE Sports Tempo as Melo's host at La Perla makes no sense, it will make in Ponce, Tempo's hometown, which is also known as "La Perla del Sur". Tempo can be considered a legend, more because his incarceration than his musical career, he got a story for VH1 Behind The Music script formula because that, but calling him "hero" is giving too much props.
I'm from NY and my fam happened to be in PR during the melos mini training camp. As a huge knicks fan is was crazy to find out that melo was actually staying at the same hotel as me on the same floor
Seeing the football stadium and knowing Melo is vested in his club, makes me feel good to know somebody in the NBA besides Bron likes football. Can't wait to get my boys down there to tryout for #PRFC, Weepa Mira!
Puerto Rico is always voted the most happiest people!!! They work and enjoy the weekends of course the ghettos could get ruff but still the best people extremely hospitable!!!
Even tho they know how much money Carmelo got, they still didn't try to do nothing to harm him while he was shooting this video which says a lot about the people on the island. They look out for they own.
We don't talk like that in Europe (trash talk) because we have a deep culture of respect. Even boxers you will very very rarely hear talking smack or shouting at their opponents in the press conferences etc. One of the first principles of sport is to show respect to not only your coaches/managers and teammates but also your opponents no matter what
Even though mello aint born in PR he still reps for his culture and where his family is from I like that. Thats how us mexicans are we may not be born in Mexico but we are proud af.
Lol Damn I knew it! I was on my honeymoon while they were out there in August. Idk if Melo stayed at the same hotel as me but I know the rookies did. Randomly one day there was just a bunch of tall dudes rocking Knicks gear walking around, I didn't put 2 and 2 together till now
They saying them the roughest part of Puerto Rico and when i was there we hit a corner store after taking a few shots at the court on la perla. Its next to the biggest tourist attraction, that castle fort. I dong remember the name , was drunk off Medallian and José Cuervo. I loved PR
H&L Minds Yeah, even though PR has a rather high homicide rate. I have never felt not safe. People here while being the same are a little bit more calm than other Latinos from other countries.

Lol Damn I knew it! I was on my honeymoon while they were out there in August. Idk if Melo stayed at the same hotel as me but I know the rookies did. Randomly one day there was just a bunch of tall dudes rocking Knicks gear walking around, I didn't put 2 and 2 together till now
You still married to the same woman from that day?🤔

They saying them the roughest part of Puerto Rico and when i was there we hit a corner store after taking a few shots at the court on la perla. Its next to the biggest tourist attraction, that castle fort. I dong remember the name , was drunk off Medallian and José Cuervo. I loved PR
H&L Minds Yeah, even though PR has a rather high homicide rate. I have never felt not safe. People here while being the same are a little bit more calm than other Latinos from other countries.

Soy Dominicano, I love PR to death, we share culture
