Melo despite being one of my favorite players to watch is the most overrated player in NBA history. He had little to no impact on winning. He was always a no show in the playoffs. He was like Harden but even worse.

I don't understand this Melo hatred. Especially on this forum. I would kinda get it if it was real fake GM forum or whatever, where they are slobbering over the great white hope rocking #15. Plus I'd get it if Melo was still in the league playing basketball, as a trash talking between the fans, whatever. But he's been retired now.

Look, the guy didn't have a top 50 career, that's obvious. Still a hella scorer and plenty of hall of famers played no defense and haven't made it far in the playoffs. Also Melo has represented Team USA numerous of times. In many countries if a basketball player dedicates multiple summers playing for his country, he is respected. Here meanwhile dudes treat him like he owes the fans something.

Bron Stans. They don’t hate Melo as much as they hate KD and Kobe. Melo doesn’t incite as much of their deep seated insecurity as those two do but the insecurity is still there. Melo at one point was compared to Bron so they have to constantly remind the world that Melo is a career loser out of spite to prove “their side won”. The reality is Melo was still a talented player even if Bron was superior. There’s no need to sh*t on him.

Overrated by who?

The most you hear about Melo now is he was a great scorer with a deadly bag and he was hard to guard which isnt really debatable

Cause all his contemporaries say it

When Melo was in is prime alot of fans who didn't understand basketball used to argue that he was top 5, better scorer than Kobe etc. The talk around Melo was crazy.

shyt you right.

Cats finna be mad but yeah.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Only CACs are saying that Melo's legacy is being "erased". His peers & real basketball fans still give him the utmost respect. He's STILL a future Hall of Famer at the end of the day.

Anytime Melo was brought up it was always as a ( scorer) not player, meaning his scoring bag. Nobody ever though he was a better player than Kobe

And as a scorer he could do anything Kobe could do on the offensive end

I still agree with that

 

[Illuminatos]

The Billups interview is hard to handwave away. Melo cared more about scoring than winning. Add in the shaky defense/rebounding and not passing... hard to put a winning team around that guy.

“We could have games where he had 20, 22 and we win the game and he’s mad. He could have 36 and we win the game and he’s in there [dapping] everybody up.”
And there yall have it. Straight from the horses’ mouth.

What is Melo legacy?

Jokic stole his number and glory in Denver now Brunson making em forget in NYC

He has none. Overrated 1 dimensional chuck. Carmelo Anthony was the same player from his 1st game to his last.

Exactly what im talking about. The absolute worst mentality you can have as a player. Kicked out of the league at an age where most of his peers were still allstars.

Legacy turning irrelevant one game at a time and imagine of the Knicks somehow make it to the finals. The city is loving Brunson right now and he’s done more for the franchise than any player in the last 20 years.
