Jim Boeheim: Don’t expect Carmelo to win NBA title

[el3mentary]

He's unlikely to win an NBA title,'' Boeheim said. "He's never been on a team that even had a remote chance of winning an NBA title. As a player, all you can do is try to make your team better and every team he's been on he's made them a lot better. Denver hadn't done anything prior to him getting there and he took them into the playoffs. They weren't going to beat the Lakers or the Spurs. In those years, they won the championship most of the time.

"But he's always made his team better,'' added Boeheim. "It's obvious. You look back on your total basketball experience and he had a great high school team, he won the NCAA championship and he's won three gold medals in the Olympics. That's a pretty good resume.''

Dont understand his reasoning for saying this especially after their gold medal run smh

He's saying that management hasn't come close to surrounding him with talent. What don't you understand?

Unless Kristaps actually does become Dirk 2.0 and Melo can lean on him when he's on the downside of his hill, this is facts.

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

Yea Melo won't win nba title

 

[SadimirPutin]

That year under woodson when they were raining threes was in theory the best Knicks team Carmelo was on but they looked shaky at times vs Boston and lost to the Pacers.

This Knicks team promises to be entertaining if nothing else......I expect the pendulum on their play to swing wildly

But part of me is hoping we can get a Cavs-Knicks ECF

 

[KRiLL (+)]

only way he wins a title is if Lala allows him to be traded to the Cavs in the next 3 years...

So Melo isn't good enough to elevate the play of hia teammates....

 

[MJ Truth]

So Melo isn't good enough to elevate the play of hia teammates....

Nah, Melo isn't good enough to elevate the work of his management.

 

[PortCityProphet]

Melo supporters been saying this. We been knew that you not winning ships with the great jr smith as 2nd option.
Anyone who's knows bball knows that. His best chances were actually with the Denver teams. But the 3rd best team rarely makes it out.
Same thing with CP3

 

[Kings County]

if he jumps to cavs he'll get one

 

[Woodrow]

So Melo isn't good enough to elevate the play of hia teammates....

[T.he I.nformant]

Couple of those Denver teams were good enough to win the title. Boeheim just copping pleas for Melo.
