Melo doesnt have enough laid down in Nuggets history for the current generation to remember him as one imo. For alot of people, #StayMe7o starts with his knicks journey. Which is completely reasonable, as he was one of the most talked about athletes in the second biggest market of bball. I just think unlike Bron in CLE and Wade in MIA, the lore hasnt spread between 90s-2000s watchers and the current generation.
this shouldnt have any bearing on whether or not he gets a jersey retired, I just think it'll result in heavy bias on which franchise should be doing it.
