I appreciate all the love this project has received so far! Just a quick fix, The music credit at the end of the film was not filled out correctly! Here is a list of the talented artists who contributed to the music in this short film: Nsee Baad Beats Jupiter Sands Max H. Maya Belsitzman Matan Ephrat DaniHaDani Thanks for watching!

The fact that they were 8th see with more than 50 wins shows you how the league was then. Kobe, T Mac, Spurs, Dallas, Blazers. Man that era was crazy. They did AI wrong. He could’ve stayed in Philly if they were going to use him for one & a half seasons.

Allen Iverson made me a fan of basketball. Loved that Denver team

An era where basketball was so tough. Great respect for those who stood out and put on a show.

50 win 8 seeded squad is crazy 😭😭😭

Man AI & Melo could’ve been a crazy duo. Wish they could’ve won a chip together.

I'm from Philly, and I was sick when they traded AI. The whole city was gloomy and depressing the next day after they traded him. We took it hard when they got rid of him. It was the saddest I've ever seen a city be as a whole. It still gets me emotional when I think about it

50 wins was only an 8 seed that’s crazy they finish top 3 in todays game

That punch changed Melo’s career for ever

Great video, bro. Iverson’s steep decline in the season after being traded to Pistons was perplexing to me. He went from arguably his best season as a high-level efficient scorer to barely averaging 17 with the Pistons.

Game of basketball needs more of this. This should be on ESPN and really hope you keep these going. Helps keep the game in the proper perspective as opposed to a lot of the media stories

Young Melo Was a Taller Ai 😂

As a Die hard Nuggets Fan I Wish the A.I. Melo Duo Worked out 💯

I truly believe to this day that Carmelo and Lebron should of share that mvp of the year

They couldn't do anything with him he was a BEAST ONE OF THE BEST TO PLAY THE GAME

MAN I want sooooo much wanted that to work MELO & Ai..priceless

That "We had it all, just had zero guidance" from JR Smith falls 110% on George Karl. Had 2 of the best iso scorers, who could have been an all-time great 1-2 punch, were left hanging out to dry. They should both have a ring in their retirement. Damn shame.

Melo was like ya better have a answer for getting rid of the Answer and they said “we got Billups”….understood lol 🤝🏾

I loved this Nuggets team, regardless of there success. A.I. and Melo!!! To of my favs when I was a teen

It’s CRAZY you uploaded this video!! When game 2 ended I started thinking about a time when the Nuggets were called the Thuggets! 😂😂

When basketball was still basketball

This was a dope short-film👍.. I didn't realize how productive AI was when he went to Denver🧐. Too bad he never had a guy on the wing like that in Philly, cuz that team would have been unstoppable😬. Although he played the 2 a lot, he's still a natural PG, and an ALL-TIME GREAT.💯

That man that outro music has a mystery uncovered vibe to it. Feels great, like I just finished discovering some shit

Melo deserves way my credit for his contributions to the NBA. Respect King.👑💯💪🏾

This was 🔥... i didnt even realize iverson was still in his prime when they tried this. Great work bro!

Miss this time period.

1 of my fav duos.. I remember like yesterday Carmelo was still on his rookie contract

This the original “Kyrie and Luka “ experiment

AI AND MELO were a problem but as we've seen , Iso ball doesn't win you a championship

In Hindsight, That was never going to work!

Melo & AI had some tuff playoff situations.. Playin tha Spurs & then lakers

Great video! If they’d had a couple more years, who knows?? The ending music is truly something else. I could listen to that while driving, working out, anything…….

Completely mind boggling that 50 wins only got them the 8th seed. I remember some of the great Nuggets teams of the late 1970s losing in round 1 or 2 of the playoffs because the western conference was absolutely loaded

my 2 all time favorites! great piece of work! thank you for making this!

It’s wild how their careers ended so similarly

Carmelo Anthony & Allen Iverson should come back to Denver next year as assistant coaches. We’ll get them the rings.

This team was good and very likeable given the popularity of players. The West was incredibly competitive at that time unfortunately. In the East they might have made NBA Finals

They deserved a ring !

Back then, Couldn’t tell me nothing from NBA Live to 2K😂 I never lost 💯

Thanks for putting this together! It was much needed

Finally.... Been waitin on somebody to talk about this Iverson and Carmelo were both averaging like 30pts a piece

This team was pretty darn good but this year's team won it all making the other denver teams finally a thing of the past

The A.I./Melo experience didn't work simply because the team played ZERO DEFENSE. Offense was fine but they couldn't stop anyone.

Sometimes you need a good fight to keep the league 💪 on point.

Appreciate you doing this video Brother, Much ❤ and respect to you!

you are so underrated… keep doing what you do, i know that within 3 years you will have at least 3 million subscribers.

I enjoyed that, thank you. Loved these players, especially iverson, but saw melo hit that shot for syracuse too and love his game as well. Wish the lakers had him last yr

A.I. my second favorite 2guard EVER and Melo the Nuggets were very exciting..

The success to the naked eye that the nuggets had with Billups looks like a higher success result than with AI, but the things that are overlooked is that AI and Melo didnt play together all that much time, the first season Melo and as you said other roster were out on suspension, Melo had injuries, and AI was pretty much on another Sixers team for a while til they returned, we all know Iverson wasnt really committed to those practices like that, Billups was traded with 2 other players unlike Iverson that came alone, the results probably would have been alot different if Iverson went to the Nuggets with a player that he got a chance to get experience with prior to coming to Denver like Billups coming there with Mcdyess, not to mention the Nuggets were eliminated by the same team as the last season, so would they have gotten further in the playoffs if they played the Lakers earlier? I doubt it. The only thing that Denver team was truly missing to stop the Spurs the first season, and the Lakers the next season, was some actual defense, which Camby was truly the only noteworthy team mate known for good defense and a proven top tier defender, Iverson naturally was going to be somewhat a "liability" for defense in a 5 on 5 sport that the average height is probably 6 5, he simply didnt have the length to be able to stop a Kobe, or even be any sort of threat defensively to a Lamar Odom or a Pau Gasol, so offensively, there was no issue, the defense is the thing that was heavily lacking, and as J.R Smith said, they lacked any true leadership person to make them all really mesh, thats probably the only thing Billups really brought there to Denver, the Pistons' game was probably built on strong team values, being that they didnt really have offense as something to really bully players with, so the defensive mindedness is probably what he was able to bring, Billups had the size to more effectively challenge bigger guards and make it harder for them to score; no one is going to take a 6 footer seriously attempting to get in their way honestly.

These were the days man

Dope video man. Thank you. This was my favorite team back then in those 2 years.

My favorite 2 ❤plus Kobe 😊..that was 🔥

You’re an awesome story teller bro, and the instrumentals were OUT OF THIS WORLD 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is basically Kyrie and Tatum 1.0

Great vid' two of my favorite players of all times' I remember this era very well'

Best that ever did it ! 2 All-Star's The Answer and MELOoooo! 🌟🔥🌟🔥🌟🔥 #TriceOfficial luv the vid.

A true second option? If AI was averaging 26 as age 31-32, all they needed was a big man. I didn't see anything wrong with Melo and AI. I agree with JR Smith, no guidance. I believe they should have gotten a big man some depth in the bench

Great video, from the vintage footage to the descriptive breakdown! Felt sorry for my dog Nate. Guess that’s why he thought he needed to box in the ring 😮

really good video, especially the editing ! keep up with the good work :)

Miss the good Ole days.. the only team I followed.. Melo Nuggets

Great video they were a favorite for a lot of us. They had all the peices.. needed a great coach.. George Karl was ok. But it was jus like Payton n Kemp.. wish they could've won a 🏆 together

This is definitely one of my favorite NBA teams of all time

The music used in this video is immaculate! ❤

This is how you ball 🏀

Can't wait for the Kyrie-Luka team up short film

That was dope I enjoyed that ❤

I appreciate you making this video, Loved that duo back in highschool. But let's be fair they got bounced twice by the team that would go on to win it all. They just needed more time

Remember watching game 1 of that spurs series. Man it was scary to see

Great piece once again brother man !

Real good video, as A sixers fan I hated when they traded A.I but I really enjoyed seeing A.I and Melo playing together.

Great content! Thank you for sharing.

Great content! 👏🏾

Love the video bro, I really appreciate the amount of thought and effort you put into every video 💯

i wanted '09 Nuggets v Bulls Finals with Iverson & Mello & Rose... fax!!!

My two favorite players

There just wasn’t enough ball to go around with those 2

Melo my favorite player I remember that brawl like it was yesterday 😂

Iverson: Give the ball up. That was a terrible way to think. It should have been get the ball to the open man. You can't worry about your numbers and have the rest of the team cold, expecting to win.

Melody was so good

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.

My 2 favorites

The danger 3 thats what they call that duo

Music selection for this was really good!

2 best underdogs 🔥🔥

Great video. AI is so under-appreciated by todays generation even though all he ever does is show everyone love.

whats crazy is that as great as melo was AI was the only one of the two to get the finals. to me that shows how elite IA was as a guard leading that sixers team.

If they could’ve got a true point guard in there and let Allen Iverson play the 2 with Melo at the 3 they may have had a better chance at contending

May not have worked in real life, but that nba live 08 team was a MONSTER

new to the channel. 🔥 content.. subscribed fasho

Well done doc.

Soundtrack is a W

Mmeeelllloooooooo 😊

Can only have so many knuckleheads on one team man

Congrats to The Nuggets for being 2023 NBA Champions finally!

Great video dawg

great doc.. firstly what lead to this was the brawl which was massively overblown imo.. they should’ve been banned but all the hoopla was unnecessary.. Shout out to billy the bum king.. he was so arrogant announcing the trade when he failed AI for 8/9 years.. it amazes me how he still has a job.. George Karl has a lot to do with this who is an awful coach too.. he’s just not a winner in terms of getting it done, his schemes are questionable and most of all is a poor man manager.. this is why I respect coach K so much because say what you want, he’s the one elite coach that Melo had in his prime and look at the results in terms of how he was used which brings me to my last point.. Melo and AI weren’t used correctly.. Melo gets lauded for his scoring which he deserves but Melo is a Pandora’s box oozing talent in other area.. I say Pandora’s box because you have to get it out of him.. he’s supremely talented which we saw glimpses of in terms of rebounding and his communication on the court.. there was nothing wrong with AI being the top scorer but the problem is Melo should’ve been used as the best player. they took a my turn your turn approach when their offence should been based on movement because AI is very underrated in terms of movement off the ball.. Melo should’ve been used like the Olympics where he’s at the Elbow or low post facilitating the offence with his underrated passing ability, Also making use of his rebounding and post scoring as well as having a slower defender on the perimeter.. They should’ve used him at the 4 and traded Kenyon Martin for Chauncy or Magette or Rashad Lewis or Richard Jefferson.. this would’ve opened the floor for Melo while improving perimeter defence which was an issue at the time..

This should be titled: "failure to keep two of the best players ever: The Denver Nuggets story"

Great shit bro

Carmelo Anthony 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

Great job!!!
