This ish is therapy for Knick fans that are rooted for this team. Always felt like the management was working against Melo. He was a true professional to the press, but this validates how Knick fans felt - he had the same energy but couldn't show it.
@pharma2546 Idk... I think every team would take 25/7/3 in a heartbeat... I won't compare it to Lin because he was a Knick and doesn't deserve that, but if you watched 82 games and playoffs... Melo was not the problem.
Melo, I am the same age as you. 2003 High school. I played football. Man, I never met you but I want you to know that I feel you deserve all the success you've had man. I have a son too. I love what you represent and I wish you nothing but success, healing, and love my man. Alsways enjoyed watching you ball and I love seeing that you're already a media mogul, but authentic. Much love bro.
I love listening to the real ones who played the game versus the media. yall gotta understand, these are regular people who love to hoop 🔥locker room talk amongst men.
@ the league basically robbed him of rookie of the year and give it to Bron, ppl don't wanna hear it but Melo was just as good and better than Bron coming in, just so happened that the league been promoting Bron since high school and had him as the next Jordan, so they had to do everything to make him that guy. Lebron entire career has been scripted from going to Miami, the 3-1 comeback, and the bubble ring.
@@sammyjay5292thank you bro, Melo was levels better than bron coming in. If we’re being for real, the cavs should’ve took the dude who just won a championship in college and has shown he’s a more well rounded and polished player who’s shown he can play in a team framework. But ofc they had to have the hometown hero in his origins, perfect script
I wouldnt be able to sleep at night knowing all i had to do was join bron in miami and i would at minimum have 2 rings,those 2 rings would have taken melo from a first ballot hall of famer to the discussion of greatest sf ever.
@@MIGGYME1honestly I don't think it moves the needle any more for him. Armed w 2 championships, Melo still has the same narrative, media probably throws more dirt and give him the Durant in Golden St treatment.
they were the 7th seed and stoudemire was hurt(if i recall correctly). they needed melo. the problem was the moves after the trade. they botched the billups situation. they kept stat for wayyy too long. then they follow up and get fleeced for bargnani. if i was the gm, plan a was to get cp3 instead of tyson chandler. plan b would have been to get rondo when the celtics got rid of pierce and kg. it shouldnt have been thaaaat hard to replace wil chandler, gallo and mozgov.
@ Amare wasn’t hurt when the trade was mad…The problem was the trade, it forced us to give up assets that could’ve been used to make other trades and/ or have a stronger overall roster…Melo took it as an insult That we didn’t want to give up certain players to acquire him so his camp started leaking that he’d sign with Brooklyn…Due to that Dolan forced Donnie Walsh to make the trade
That was probably the first time he truly understood that first and foremost, the NBA is a business and that every team is not actually trying to "compete". Depending on how you look at it, the league really protected Bron from Melo. Ain't no way in hell Detroit really passed in him for Darko, and that Shump and JR trade never made sense.
I was hell of tight as a Knick fan when they traded Shump and JR Smith. They are part of #knickstape and played well with Melo as well as rest of the squad. To trade them was very wild, especially JR who had a six man of the year award as a Knick.
Don’t know if you’ll see this or not, but Melo I’ve been a supporter of your game since oak hill. A finals ring doesn’t define you and AI that’s just how great you both were on the court. I’m a New Yorker that doesn’t like any NY team accept the Yankees, but when you had the blue and orange on I rooted for you B! I’m proud of the man and father you are. A lot of people really don’t know if the great works you do. I salute you black man, and may God continue to be with you and your family. Oh yeah, Bron is Bron, but even Bron knows he ain’t Melo.
Melo should’ve came to Chicago! Chicago was on the list of his teams too. They was offering him nice $(not as much as the knicks), but he would’ve gotten paid and probably won a chip.
Melo is right tho. Why would you send those 2 to lebron? Like that made no sense. But ggz. I feel his pain. Those the only 2 that would ride and die with melo on the court.
Fuck a pt 2, we need a whole limited Knickstape podcast series with Melo, Shump & JR (or just JR & Shump if Melo too busy with his podcast) I know they have plenty more Knickstape stories to tell
@9:20 melo really hit on something that i feel doesn't get discussed enough. the amount of teams that have traded really good role players, giving up on seasons etc to bron instead of all the teams they couldve done the deal with is actually insane.
For context, I've only had 3 favorite players in my 38 years. Allen Iverson first and foremost then jn present day I'm rolling with Dame Lillard but Melo was my guy from his first college game against my hometown Memphis Tigers. With that said, me and my brother were 4 rows from court, dead center the game he made the game-winner over T.A. I almost didn't get to witness it because I nearly incited a riot, arguing and talking shit to the home crowd😂😂😂😂 They called me all kinda "Judas" "traders" and more for cheering for Melo/NYK😂😂😂
We share 2 of my all time 3 favorite players ever. Its crazy u commented this cuz i wuz dead ahh jus thinkin bout this shi today. But my 3rd player is Tracy McGrady
I wasn't mad. JR and Iman were overpaid for the role they played. I was more upset by the fact that we did NOTHING with the cap space that was created with it
@@TheTwinkiefootbut yet go to a team within your division and won the chip which both dudes really played they role could have been melo getting help from them
Melo is in the HOF so a championship doesn't matter ÿes a championship feels great but being in the H.O.F cements he's legacy, ppl can't remember bench players on championship teams but they remember HOFamers.
After i watch the pod i did my googles yo they got back pepsi and a chooped cheese for rotating pieces in a championship jr turned himself into quite the shooter and injured shump was serviceable decent the could have kept them tf new york was on
@@slycooper1979you sound dumb if that team was trash. They won 62 games, add Melo and elite defense and coaching, they would’ve gave the Heat some work. They was chewing in the East even after Rose went down.
@ they was not chewing the East in 2014 stop it. They got bounced by the wizards and the bulls would have have to give up assets they would have been worse. They didn’t have the talent once rose went down to trade and still compete.
They played my guy Melo twice cause they traded his guys away in Denver to, It's the front office fault in my opinion why Melo never had a real shot to chase a chip
Kendrick perk said he had nightmares about Lebron and that he even prayed lebron got injured. It's all subjective and all different. People feared both, simple
