Man I haven’t seen melo do many sit down interviews. Respect to Reddick for securing that
You should check his UA-cam channel where he’s doing many sit down interviews.
@@I2oseTheory melo Monday's
Jj is the GOAT
@@I2oseTheory its differnt when hes not in control of the interview
Ernest Clark ima have to check that out. Thank you
This is literally the most candid Melo interview. This is why podcast are such a great platforms you can't get this from Terrestrial Radio.
Exactly and Melo knows he isn’t going to get scrutinized over every comment he makes.
Players interviewing players. Next level trust
Where did you get that narrative? 🤔
Much easier to open up to another nba player rather than a journalist
Terrestrial Radio 😂
And now... Human music
6:50 Melo made such an ACCURATE point here. The Miami Big Three really is the beginning of a lot of young fan's memories
Facts💯
It feels really weird for me, because I love basketball and I'm 17, but my first basketball memories that I have was 2008 finals
Super facts he nailed that.
It's why so many of them think Kobe was trash. They never saw his prime from 2003 to 2011. To them he was the hobbled slow shot jacker with no legs. It blows me away the lack of perspective young fans have now.
@@michlo3393 : 💯% Facts.
Youd think this man was broke with the amount of ads he has
It’s only 18? 😂😂
Only ?!
FACTS!!!!!
😂 but I honestly doubt he had anything to do with it prolly Tommy 🤦🏽♂️🤣
We know you are though. Get that premium and you'll forget ads were a thing.
34:44 Okay, this is why JJ is the best. I didn't think we were going to make it back to the Steve Novak story that Melo mentioned earlier. But JJ literally remembered or was reminded. I hate it when the guest brings up a thought and forgets to get into it or gets cut off and you never hear it. Top notch 👌🏾
I thought the same thing Korey Paul. I just wanted to know what was the story when they brought it up. I thought JJ might’ve forgot about it.
@Duane I think he's just noting that that is the sign of a competent and effective interviewer. That's what sets shows/interviews apart. Creating space for free flowing dialogue but also digging into interesting nuggets and not losing track of them is the reason why people might choose to watch this podcast over another
"It turned into Gotham" Melo is hilarious lol😂😂😂
😂
people sleep on the fact Chauncey Billups went to the conference finals 7 years in a row
Chauncey > LeBron
Look at that roster he had tho!!! Lol
its so sad that hes not in the hall of fame. such an underrated career
@@YakAttack64 LMFAO
Eric dollars so look at Lebron’s roster lol
Melo is so down to earth. Such a legend.
Legend? LOL
Noodle Man that word means nothing now because how much it’s thrown around now a days lmao don’t mind it.
@@brendenwright9576 Melo is a legend where we from fuckin haters
@@howie2173 Melo is absolutely a legend. Been a presence in the basketball world since his high school days. I can tell you just started watching the NBA yesterday
@IG: confused_melo For FACTS #Ginga He's a legend regardless. His game hasn't aged particularly well and he's been subpar since OKC,. I'm not disputing that, but that does not take away from what he did up until that point, from high school, college, to his Denver years and Knicks years- which is why he's a basketball legend
What a great interview. Melo has been unfairly criticized for most of his career while hes been a hall of fame player and generational scorer. Really shows the strength of this podcast to showcase the players story. Keep up the good job fellas.
I feel like I know melo 100x better. I feel like I’m hearing from the locker room melo that all his former teammates rave about 💯
Lol okay guy
JZL ok what
Raymel Leonard he’s a knob bro. Let em be lol
LeBong Jaymes lmao mfers be buggin
Raymel Leonard guarantee he didn’t catch the voting portion they discussed
It’s crazy to see how JJ is connected to so many modern day legends. Great show once again
Ummm he’s the same age as them
Bro u got like 20 ads i swear the pelicans got u
😂😂😂✌🏾
forreal i got one 10 seconds in
Great interview but these ads were a killer
Lolol real talk
damn you not on that ad blocker yet?? lol
That Denver melo was a beast... he was battling yearly in the west and giving cats problems... if Melo would’ve snuck a ring out I think the narrative would be different ✊🏾💯‼️
Facts
That Western Conference Finals In 09... He Was A Monster!! They lowkey almost beat the Lakers.
oo70mar facts
SO Smooth no I’m saying every year it was a toss up... and any team in my opinion would’ve beat anybody from the East
Kobe got in the way of that
Best Melo interview in awhile. Never heard him get in depth about the Nuggets days like that
JJ you've got a great thing here and love seeing all the greats on your show. So Much Respect for Mello. He handled his business in all ways that he could for his situation. You both were true stars 🌟. Stay Pawzitive and Safe
This podcast is sooo fire. JJ is just very much respected in the game and we would not get half the things Melo telling us anywhere else ong
you didn't spell Melo right...
100% man I love that he brings guys like melo. Hall of famers. People.i look forward to learning about. Love.this redick. Please man, keep.it up. Lobe the podcast bro
No deny it's good and Mello deserve his stardom, but I don't think is deep enough, why neither him or any other interview ever asked about the situation with him Jeremy Lin and Mike D Anthony.He can say he was immature then but if there is a chance to revive that now, how would he do it?He complained that he never had a winning team like Lebron or Wade but at one point he did and he needs to sacrifice to play at the 4
Future Hall of Framer ! It’s good to see him playing in the league while many said he was washed up.
dude gonna really frame that
@IG: confused_melo For FACTS #Ginga gtfoh hater. U writing bad stuff on every comment that praises Melo, show some respect to the first ballot HOFer
We was washed up though. Him getting back into shape opened up a spot for him in the league
@PL Lyons read my comment. he is a hater and this is not up for discussion
IG: confused_melo For FACTS #Ginga you try to become a 9 time all star, you try to become a scoring champion, you try to do everything melo did
They need to interview JR Smith or Nick young one time
Nick Young is all over the place lol
Frfr get JR
Bruhh they need to interview Agent 0 the Hibachi!!! Gilbert Arenas!
Nick young most definitely
GET NICK YOUNG
Best melo interview ever,people have the wrong perception on melo.
As a Nuggets fan. I still miss and look back at the Melo years fondly. He was SUCH an amazing player. Much respect man
Every time Melo meeting Nba players for the first time: Who is this kid?!
Lmao 🎯
I remember Denver Melo. I’m 37 though and have been watching since the 90’s.
Lol. I had a MySpace account too. So many of us did.
In my opinion he was walking the line of “egoist” and “deserved better” during his post Knicks career, according to his answers. Loved this episode.
Noticed that too Melo was all about his numbers and himself.
In one moment he says “now I wanna win...”. That tells it all. It was not his focus before.
@@andreedipo6356 nah he always wanted to win. But once he didn't accomplish what he wanted in ny he was willing to try a different way to accomplish that.
Facts
André Édipo I said that too !
Carmelo said, "I KNOW THE GAME, SO YOU CAN'T RUN THE GAME ON ME," and I felt that. Appreciate y'all, great episode.
I watched Melo in Denver as a kid, he was my favorite player growing up
As a Blazer fan I loved having melo this year.
@IG: confused_melo For FACTS #Ginga made playoffs first seven years in Denver also Western conference finals
@IG: confused_melo For FACTS #Ginga what? Chauncey wasn't the star of the team melo was u peasant he average like 25 are u dumb?
@IG: confused_melo For FACTS #Ginga only reason why he didn't win in Denver was because the black Mamba rip Kobe
@IG: confused_melo For FACTS #Ginga and it's billups u dweeb
@IG: confused_melo For FACTS #Ginga We lost to the team that is more than likely going to be the champion. No shame in that.
3 TO THE DOME
3 to the head👌🏽
IG: confused_melo For FACTS #Ginga gtfo, you a hater
Melo would've never been this transparent with a member of the media
you know why? cuz they bait him into the next clickbait headline
It’s crazy to think the piston passed on Melo. He could of had the first ring in his draft class.
@You Mad Breh? the only team he “infected” was okc and it wasn’t even entirely his fault. They had 2 ball dominate forwards and a ball dominate guard.
“Turned into Gotham”😂😂
Melo the 🐐 man🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s crazy to think the piston passed on Melo. He could of had the first ring in his draft class.
u think so? who knows how he fits in wit ben rip and them boys
Darko Milicic
gel0121 who knows but maybe under the leadership of Chauncey and the rest of those boys , pistons could’ve been multiple time champs with Melo.
gel0121 he definitely would have produced more then darko
gel0121 Yeah he would of definitely became polished with the pistons. They had a solid foundation and Hubbie was coaching. I he would of came of the bench or maybe we’d take tayshons spot. Either way it would’ve been crazy
This is Puerto Rican Melo
Yessir. Boriqueño Melo 🤣🤣
Definitely with the half tinted glasses indoors.
@@FupaDoncic Facing away from the Sun too 😂
Melo Puerto Rican for real tho 🤣🤣 Puerto Rican and black
si paaaa
Its crazy how awesome melo is. His chill as heck and hella down to earth.
Everyone remembers what they were doing in life when Hoodie Melo was a thing.
Such a wise and humble man, hopefully melo has a few more years left in him!
I love hearing Melo talk. Very self-aware, knowledgeable and has a great personality to boot. Awesome interview.
Im 23 born in 1996 I was there for nugget melo a real legend #15
This has been the best interview with Melo. So organic and finally lets the world know what happened.
Melo is one of the all time greats, I appreciate him being real about the mental and emotional resolve that comes with transitioning into a role player. Pride is sometimes the biggest obstacle to overcome when chasing a ring.
JJ has a professional broadcaster's voice. Definitely going into the booth after his career ends.
My sentiments exactly
You were right
Needed Jeremy Lin in this talk man 💯💯💯 JJ
he doesn't want to talk about a man that destroyed his career
Nomar Nod how tf did he destroy his own career
@@recoxu8003 Carmelo career was suspect when Jeremy lin became the superstar. Linsanity was force to sit out (injury). Melo gave management a choice. Plus, melo and coaches are like oil and water.
Jeremy lin is done in the nba 😅🤣😂😂🤣
@You Mad Breh? Lin still done..he trying to get back in the nba but he can't #done😂🤣😂🤣😋🤣
This podcast needs to get more love. YT are hating.
This is the best Melo interview I seen, you just let him speak his truths. Thank You!!!
You could see respect from him to JJ.
It's pretty awesome seeing how much they both love the game.
I think (unless for some reason they don't get along) J Crossover would be an amazing interview.
His story deserves to be told imo.
one of the best interviews I've heard in a while. It was great to hear Melo's side of the stories pertaining to his career.
I really want Portland to make another deep run again they deserve it
Facts they need to stay healthy tho. They have the pieces to compete against any team. They have dynamic scoring guards. They have a dynamic midrange post scorer and they have a very high IQ center. Also they have good players like Zach Collins/Ariza/Trent/Hood
@Anaya Rules They went to the WCF 2 seasons ago
LAL is too big for them
Anaya Rules True but I don’t see Warriors being dangerous cuz they have no bench and size. If blazers are healthy next year they have all the pieces
Anaya Rules they were pretty injured for both of those series. Dame was playing through a rib injury for that dubs series
Wow.... I have always known of Carmelo Anthony as a Basketball fan but hearing his story (I mean REALLY listening) to him explain his carrer it changed everything I thought I knew about him (which wasn't much, but it was wrong.) When I was able to think about it in life terms instead of money terms it really hit home. And he's never been on one my favorite team. But it made me realize that it wasn't all about money with him he plays because he loves the competition and the game. I wish him well.
Mann let me tell you THANK you JJ for bringing things to light... Man we love CARMELO ANTHONY AND HES A LEGEND.....
Shoulda asked him about the Jeremy Lin and D'Antoni situation
He was jealous
I think there's a good reason they chose not to include it. It was f'd up what he did
They got to save some questions for all the smoke lol
ohdaUtube what happened
@@beenjamminbuttons7771 he refused to take the game seriously when they tried ruining the offense through Lin cause they were winning more games with Lin than when Melo was playing prior. He complained to everyone and they stopped putting the ball in Lin's hands and forced Melo the ball again... Lin still played well but never close to what he was doing before, which was torching the entire league. They then scoffed at paying Lin in the off-season and he ended up playing for the rockets... Amare, discount double check, fields, etc were with Lin. The rest, not so much. Melo was a disease back then. He was a disease most of his career except this last one.
He's not much different from AI in terms of mindset which makes sense
This podcast was a blast from the past, so many good memories
Melo is a goat bro. Didn’t know what was all going on behind the scenes. Great interview JJ!
Melo your gem 💎 your story is so touching down to earth bro I wish you all the best
D rose on the podcast next man 🤞🏽🙏🏽
Fax
Not gonna lie, as a young and relatively new NBA fan I had a very basic perspective of Melo from only hearing the mainstream negative narrative about him and only seeing him on OKC and Houston. I knew a little bit about his Nuggets days but overall I thought that he was just overrated. But this interview made me realize just how good of a player he is and what actually happened in OKC and Houston vs what the media tells you. Seeing how good of a person he is and how smart he is really made me appreciate him and respect him.
Denver fan checking in - loved the Melo years!
Thank you JJ for having Melo.......
I definitely remember the Carmelo Anthony Denver Nuggets years. He was easily a star player known thoughout the league and amongst fans. Sadly he and Iverson didn't get that chance to play for a championship. I think it was Iverson's best shot at a title.
Hearing that melo feels good and doesn’t think about retirement , with his game built the way it is he has another 3-4 good years left in him
Always been a big fan! Love you Melo
Met JR At a middle school called IS8 when I was like 12 ... Nyc Queens Legend
Holy, finally with melo
I think it’s really interesting to hear them speak about the triangle offense and call it predictable. I think it shows the greatness if MJ, PIP, Kobe and Shaq. It’s simple but you can’t do anything about it because they are so, so good.
It was effective back then. Now it’s outdated
The game changed ..you didnt hear everything
JJ and Tommy do a fantastic job of listening to the guest without interrupting. I love these, keep them coming!
Melooooooooooooo one of the best scorers in nba history and him and JJ both college GODS
Great interview, Melo seems like a cool guy. His social justice work is underrated. And that 09 series, he put Denver on his back, what a beast. If not for a couple errands passes by Kmart in 2 games, maybe Denver gets into the finals. Props for the Earl Boykins shout-out.
love hearing Melo talk, this show rocks
Melo has been my favorite player for a long time. He was literally my idol, glad he's back and talking. I had no idea JJ did podcasts, I tuned in a bit ago to the entire thing and I gotta say it made me want to get up and record a new episode with my homie! very inspiring
those like myself who saw Melo those first few years out college on Denver....we remember the questions as to whether Melo was better than LeBron...he was that good...obviously their careers took different turns, but in his prime Melo was one of the best ,if not the best players in the league
I'll forever follow JJ just from his Clippers days with CP3. CP my favorite playing an JJ would always hit those cluth 3s when we needed em most. I was heart broken when you lost in Philadelphia to that tough shot y'all deserved to win that ..
That 09' Denver Nuggets squad has been CRIMINALLY underrated in the Grand scheme of things & teams.
Solid 💪🏿Squad that if not for the 09' Lakers might have won a Title that year.
I agree with you sir. I’m a Lakers fan and that was the scariest series for us. That Nuggets squad was baller!
@@ericejoaquin Facts💯
Do one with Luka!
We’ll need some subtitles
Carmine lmaooooo
Carmine chillll 😂
One of the best episodes yet, for sure. Thanks for this guys.
This is what I love about JJ’s podcast. Melo is one of my favorite all time players and we got a look into his life and perspective more than we ever have. I think JJ’s & Matt and Stephen Jackson’s podcast are so amazing for us basketball players because we just don’t get to see this with traditional media. So thanks to JJ and Tommy for this amazing platform!!
Melo stays underrated. They also tried to Iverson him out the league, but he came back with the skinny melo and beat them at their own game with the politics. Timing was everything too. If Iverson was going through that Detroit and Memphis mess during this time, it would have gone diffently. Mad respect to Melo. First ballot HOF. Also Redick has taken over the baller podcast game real quick. Quality content over everything else. Respect.
In Australia we have a chocolate called Caramello Koala, when I was little I misheard Carmelo... I’ve always pictured Carmelo as a chocolate.
Do you still want to eat it knowing who Carmelo is? I would
I thought I was the only one!!
Hahaha sameeee
They’re the best
Excellent Interview both questions and Melo was captivating in hearing the details. Gotta Love It.
Always been one of my favorites. People forget what a great Melo is.
Melo my top 2 all time. I love this man. Got me into Ball. I wish he would’ve won a ring
Melo so underrated, Denver Melo was giving it to the whole nba every year
On GOD
love this!!!! He looks so chilled and happy great interview.... love all the former players doing their own podcast and getting real side of the current players
Great episode! Hopefully people can appreciate Melo more from this if you did not already. As a Knick fan and a Cuse alumn there's always love and appreciation for him. He took a lot of unnecessary slack from the New York situation when it is clear that ownership has been the issue for decades.
The guy has a throne
Damn right he do
You can too. Relax
Nah that’s just... a really nice chair
But he's not a king, he's a pretender

My Favorite Interview you guys have done thus far
Great to hear how things took place from Melo's perspective.
hope they touch on Linsanity in this bit..lookin fwd to the listen
Same, but that would be kinda controversial though, and this podcast likes to play it PC
Denver is where Melo became my favorite player. At the time my top two favorite players played together. AI and Melo. Now Luka is on that list
I hated JJ after his high school team beat my school in state championship... THAT WAS AN EPIC DUEL💯 .. salute to you for continuing to raise the bar
Really enjoyed this conversation. And Melo is a real one
it's crazy how badly media potrays melo when he's on the knicks
New York media. Look what is happening to Sam Darnold rn, Daniel Jones, the Knicks right now still get negative press daily 😂
To the NY media's credit, if you win they will worship you forever. They are still talking about the great teams from 50 years ago so sad. #exknicksfan
Facts and this isnt the first time melo explained the Knicks situation when Phil became Gm. I just dont understand how 1 player is to blame when he says it clear as day, multiple different coaches 100 different teammates, and he explained why the triangle offense did not work. Its almost like its pure hate at times 🤔
@El-ahrairah we both know how good of a scorer carmelo is. We both also know that even though he can pass, facilitating is not his thing either so he is not a point forward (he is not lebron james), he is also not a good perimeter defender (his post defense was underrated imo). So we know his flaws and we know his strengths, why is melo being blamed heavily for his team success when the knicks did not build around him properly? Again we both know his strengths and weaknesses, him being a leader has nothing to do with team success if you dont have the talent around the leadership. Melo is a traditional rhythm inside out scorer simple as that. So are we really blaming melo for not leading guys like Lou amundson and Alexy shved to the playoffs? Think about the teams he had to play against on a nightly basis in both conferences. There is definitely a trend to continually blame this dude when everybody knows what happened and why certain players were traded and why certain coaches were fired. Plus when they did make the playoffs did melo underperform?
@El-ahrairah also quick question: Do you think lebron could lead 2014-2017 knick rosters to the playoffs?
Interview Gilbert arenas next
I was just finna post that you read my mind
That’s gonna be 3 hours
Favorite interview so far
Great episode feels like each one gets better and better
Yessir my favorite player of all time
Nice chat! I'd love to hear Manu Ginobili on one of this podcast.
Best Interview yet!
Love Melo, will always be one of my favorite players.
Such an interesting interview
I think the media started with narrative when Melo said “who me?” When he was asked if he wouldn’t mind coming off the bench. After that they became anti Melo
Facts
It’s melo though certified bucket, in the end he was right. Bro was balling in the playoffs if dame wasn’t hurt who knows.
nah... he wouldn't accept a bench role in OKC, that was facts not the narrative
It happened way before that... I believe it was because he outmatching their Golden Child (Bron), then when the rest of the class teamed up it left Melo wide open to be attacked ... If they all stayed alone, there would be a lot more respect on his name
Wiliiam Willcox shut up🤣 who knows what? Everyone with half a brain knew that Portland was losing that series y’all delusional , melo had one good game then disappeared the rest of the series couldn’t even hit a middy
im actually impressed with how well melo articulates himself...smart dude
Great interview... good to finally hear Melo’s honest perspective on how things went down.
Great interview
What I love so much about these podcasts is that you get genuine answers from these guys. It's something you don't get to see if asked about this for a courtside interview, or if brought onto ESPN w/ SAS, Inside the NBA, hell any talk show host, etc. My question is how come they seem to be more open to these sensitive questions here as opposed to on the media? Is it because they trust whoever? (in this case it's JJ) This is also just in general and goes past athletes and extends into mainstream celebrities also. Why? Just a thought
Yeah, to be in the circle, you have to play a certain character. You have to act for the camera because, at the end of the day, it’s all business and work. People don’t realize they are the same as us.
Melo!!
Great interview really enjoyed the one. Good to hear from mellos point of view.
Melo is a humble dude! Best pure scorer to ever touch the ball
