5 years later and Rose would actually be better than he was here at least

Sorta similar to the lakers last season

Lmao actually facts

Qwerty Zxcvbn drose was the third option on that team and averaged an efficient 18 and y’all wanna act like he was trash. The team was trash and ran the triangle .

Collectively not 4 guys that shoot the 3 well. 3 of the 4 didnt play much defense.

I never knew

It’s crazy because at one point he was looking like an all-star for OKC now that I think about it…… OKC gets heat for Not taking advantage of Harden, Russ, KD but they ALSO had Ibaka and Jeff Green. If they just got shooters that team was STACKED!

He always ended up on my association team too lmao

@@jamesonedwardsii4943 "not taking advantage" ??? They made it to the friggin Finals! And they were in the Conference Finals pretty regularly from 2011-2016

@@whodat787 He’s just saying with all that talent they should have won at least 1 title. Easier said than done but it’s tough to put expectations any lower for a roster like that. Obviously they were a successful team tho

Lol Breen isn't like this anymore. He's the ultimate company man now

@@MPHswayze "Miles Bridges is such a great father"

@@MPHswayze i think he's the local broadcast guy for the Knicks, and he's somewhat critical of them. But yes, for ESPN he's just showing up.

@@rachitshukla7111 Breen was embarrassing during the playoffs. We know he "gets it" so watching him stammer like a jackass through blatant refball hurt his rep. As someone who used to love Breen's broadcasts it sucks to see him become a full-on tool of the commissioner pretending away all the NBA's problems

@@MPHswayze Yeah but you can hardly expect in this era of basketball for commentators to be critical about the players, i.e. the product. I think Stan Van Gundy still calls it as he sees it in his bits. And probably, if you have heard him, Eddie Johnson of the suns, holds players accountable.

Melo shouldn’t be too 75 imo

@@Dabgram34 Klay Thompson SHOULD be Top 75.

@@MetalGod999 BIG FACTS

@@Dabgram34 HE IS IN THE TOP 75? BUT KLAY ISNT BRO FUCK MELO MAN

I'll wait for his teammates to say that first because I've heard different things about Melo from teammates. Sometimes he did what the coach told him to do and that was put your energy on the offensive side. Go do research

@@TheTaekwon3 Chauncey Billups literally said that

@@TheTaekwon3 Chauncey already said it

This is why I believe players like Melo have no business in the HOF. His defenders always say the same thing about his offense. But sorry, his lack of leadership and defense are the reasons why he never went anywhere in the playoffs. His teams are better of without him. He is no HOFer.

@@gabrielsandoval7331 heard players say great things bout his leadership and his defense never been a liability in my eyes

😂

Ay he made one tho lol

Lol glad I ain't the only one

Watching joakim Noah period makes me sick 😂

You hella funny bro

ewing also didnt have to deal with phil jackson

@@robertcruz2080 Right but Melo was a disappointment with the Knicks even before Phil. Outside of 2013 the Knicks was kinda whack juice with Melo.

@@robertcruz2080 in a funny way he did… phil jackson and mj 😭

@@austinburwell5834 There were behind the scenes issues with D'antoni that hurt the team and Melo's play. D'antoni took some of those same bad coaching moves to LA and sunk Gasol's career. By the time the Knicks got the coach they needed with Mike Woodson, Melo only had about two seasosn before injuries and surgery took his athleticism away. Also, Amar'e not being able to get healthy was the biggest problem. Back then the salary cap was about 65 million. When you have a 20 million a year player riding the bench, you're gonna struggle to put a consistently effective team on the floor. Melo was a big time needle mover on the court. He just picked the wrong franchise to spend his best years in and his reputation took a hit as a result.

@@J-Hue Yeah the Knicks is ass when it comes to management but let’s be forreal Melo wasn’t that guy. His Denever teams was talented as well and he couldn’t make it out the West. Like Melo was a great player but he couldn’t really evaluate the team like Kobe or Lebron. Regardless if he was on Denver or NY. His career may have been better if Detroit drafted him but still they would ask a lot from him on defense and he has a big ego so who knows how that would’ve turned out.

carmelo just wanted money so he phoned in his last season wiith the knicks it was so obvious

Do y’all see this mans teammates? One season on the Knicks 3 of his teammates were like 40 years old

What the hell was Russ supposed to do when the two best players missed over 40% of the games and with free agents that aren’t even signed yet? This is what happens when you’re the 3rd fiddle next to Lebron you get the blame.

@@begreat2038 that season with jason kidd was the more palatable season that the knicks had, imagine the impact a high iq playmaker can make, they weren't run and gun, or blazing fast, but they were actually playing with sense and purpose that season.

@@Bannedconfidential A lot of people knew that they weren't going to mesh, seeing as how both of them rely so much on having the ball, and starting/flowing the offense through them. Add to that, their bench became so shallow, talent wise, because they had to let go of their core 2nd stringers just to afford Russ' contract. This past season was just a collective clusterfuck of one bad decision after another.

Or Jeff Green even though he is a journey man

​@@lilwoken2327 Yeah fr even DRose and Joakim on the Knicks together is strange to me

@@aamirkhuller6277 yeah facts I love the Knicks but that shit got dark once shump and Smith left , then Amare was gone to Dallas

For real always selfish ill say this tho i think the best hes looked was with portland it was the first time in his career where he realised he wasnt that guy anymore and played like a team and actually played some solid defense. New York Melo was the most overrated guy ever and a sole reason ive never took knicks fans serious he did nothing for there franchise but play for himself.

@@nathanxd685 I’ll agree with you there. Melo looked like a true contributing piece in Portland…. Then his greedy ways kicked in again when he left the only team that gave him a chance and starring role, to join the “super team” lakers. And we all know how that went for him.

yeah that knicks team probably be like 5-7 seed without melo

U say that but they didn't make the playoffs right after he left with some of the same pieces and just porzingas and the knicks didn't do shit

@@philbosh03 Different roster. I was specifically talking about the year Rose was with them wearing 25. Knicks missed the playoffs 3 straight seasons with Carmelo, so what’s your point?

Thank god they dont go based off of youtube comments

Melo and Howard should be top 75. Not Dame.

@@sdfishinn try it out oh u can't even make it on the team

The guy is top 8 in scoring without barely making the playoffs.. 😂 imagine if he was in the playoffs 6 or 7 more years.... He'd be top 5

@@premium7182 that’s the point all he cared about was scoring most points all his career. Cared less if it helped them actually win!

@@jrjr9348 Give it a few years and Melo will be off that list. Guy was a "me first, team second" player who only cared about his stats and not the team's wins. No D skill whatsoever

@@alexpereira6528 he definitely not got going to be off that list anytime soon and that's not what I saw when he played in NY

@@Ondanatch sounds good but Melo made the playoffs every yr of his career until he had that knee surgery

Fr?

@@JayTh5 there's stories about him in his prime bitching about not scoring 30 points in playoff games after they win. Then they lose but he scores 30 and he says nothing. I've heard like 5 other stories like that from other players. Like refusing to come off the bench later in his career. Not a good look when he hangs out with his homies

That’s unbelievable commitment!

He launches the ball with his finger nails?

Cause what?

No it wasn’t.

No, it was awful.

We loved it in Orlando, screw these haters.

Especially cool when it blinded him and he airballed an open shot in the paint hahahah

Naw nefew

Phil told melo not to play defense?

It’s not phill fault MELO and the Knicks lack basketball IQ and CUDNT grasp the concept of triangle. Funny how the smart ppl who could grasp won championships. Blame MELO, jr smith amari and them fellas as just str8 idiots of the sport

Single-handedly huh.. man stop throwing random words you don’t understand

@@zitimotleyxxjmxx Phil Jackson is one of the worst GMs ever so yeah

the phil tenure was minor.. you clearly weren't here for isiah and layden if you think phil was bad .. noah was the only big signing and he admitted to partying lol .. melo overrated .. exposed as a knick .. great talent, not a put team on back like lebron, cp3, etc

Different people got dofferent roles melos role was to score the rest of the team was supposed to pick him up on d, steph curry below avg defense, luka doncic the same u hate on them no cause they got teamates to help them beinbmad cause melo dont play d is like beinbmad shaq didnt shoot threes everyone got a role and no one can do everything

Yes

Don't go for Mitchell!!

Agree... And let us remember. Knicks could have kept their roster in place and signed melo in the off-season.

…..?

@@JayTh5 you don’t agree we had one good run until he got injured , shoulder I believe

Then you must’ve hated Patrick Ewing too

You’re slow

He has a pretty distinct voice so it’s very much a “if you know you know” type scenario

Luka scores, facilitates and runs the offense. Alsp doesnt have Melo's size and early athleticism. Luka can be a decent defender if he ever gets arpund to it but anthony could've been a great defender. Dude was backing down some PF's and was quick early on with good speed.
