Knicks clowning Melo's workouts

[who_better_than_me]

I'll give Melo this. He tries to turn into an effort player every year. But then 1/3 through the season he sees the team going nowhere or the media starts roasting him and he stops.... until it's time to play against LeBron.

He doesn't have the mental fortitude to play like that the whole season. He has to see some incentive. Which is kind of sad for a player of his talent level. But what's new in sports.

I felt like Paul pierce was this way right before kg and ray arrived

Sorry... Melo has never been a super ripped athlete, but he hasnt been fat either. When he's wearing regular clothes you can see that. He's just one of those people with very little muscle definition. The same way Kevin Durant looks like he could lift 100 lbs. And maybe he doesn't care about that. But to say he is always fat is not the truth. I think I remember one season where he legitimitately looked out of shape. He really needs to stop wearing all that gear when he's playing though. The dude looks like he has on riot gear every game under his jersey. He's already not that athletic, he doesn't need anything else weighing him down.

Has Melo ever given a reason he wears war armament to play basketball?

Maybe that was just his warm up exercise

I don't really know, but I don't think so... But I'm not sure that anyone has ever asked him. I think the assumption people make is that it's to help him better take contact when he's in the paint.

This was probably a warm up.

 

[getmoney310cpt]

that workout not easy if you do reps over and over

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Both good points and they interact with each other. Melo has been fat his entire career, been criticized for it and still has never put in a sustained effort to lose weight, let alone lead a team devoid of talent. S
Like for like, Melo's half-arsed attempts to get in shape every season mimic his basketball career. Despite Melo's seeming insifference, He's a tempermental player underneath his sleeves (why does he still wear them? They can't be functional). Melo's confidence matches the Knick's organizations utter failure to help him.

Porzingis is years away. The Knicks give Melo a canister and a bucket of pain, and blame him if he doesnt build them a rocket ship. Melo can't design and build such an achievement on his owns; the Knicks should have recruited more people.

Melo has never been out of shape coming into the season breh. He looks bulky because of the padding he's been wearing the past few years.

At the end of the day. It's a double standard with Melo. KP posts a video of him doing light work, and cats give him props. Melo does something similar, and here come the jokes.

His peers still consider him a great player, so that amounts to something.

And I'm going to get into a discussion now about the Knicks not holding their end of putting the right pieces around him.
