I don't think it was just that. Moreso they were probably laughing at his annual let me show you how in shape im getting in the summer ready to have the best year of my career only to be the same fukkin player he's always been

Melo put up Gordan Hayward numbers last year and when he is on a team like the Cavs, he'll get more freedom to shoot 3s and get back to averaging 25 ppg. Melo has never been a defensive or effort player. He takes his shots and contributes on offense.

He put up numbers on a bad team. That's meaningless

I don't think people are laughing at the actual workout (although it's kind of funny, because you don't expect elite NBA players look like your regular joe during their workout but whatever). The funny part is that Steve Mills is sitting and laughing watching that video. That's funny as hell.

Even they are like look at this fool right here :mjlol:

It's nothing wrong with working out at that level you just don't expect someone of Melos caliber to post a video of him jogging and doing basic slides. I atleast think this is the funny part. I'm not gonna clown Melo for working out, that's great. But Steve Mills and that Knicks front office seems to think it's funny. They clearly don't want this dude to be on the team lol

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.

This... Don't see what was wrong with the workout....

I think it plays into the lack of effort Melo has given over the years. Melo does not play any defense, Melo jogs back on possessions...people calling him thick melo :scust: then what looks like a half assed workout session is posted, of course you gonna get clowned.

So what you're saying is that in 2 years when Melo is 35 he's gonna fall off? :ohhh:
Yea... but with his talent, I would have given him a couple more years. The players with great talent usually last until just before 40, barring injuries. I'm not sure he'll make it that long unless he turns into a spot up shooter.

Why would you go hard when the organization is not trying either.

Hmm... I don't know, lol. But a lot of players do it. And you'll be more appreciated by everyone if you do it.

But if you don't really care about that, then I guess it doesn't really matter since you have no chance of winning a ring anyway.

Is it ochie Wally or one mic? You guys dancing Phill is gone, you got KP and Frank in the draft. So now the problem is Steve Mills? He don't care? These guys know Melo is a fraud with these workouts trying to show he is doing his part so that no one blames him for the losses. Melo is a part of the problem stop making excuses for him.

It's interesting to see all these dudes getting homotional over Melo. He never did shyt for any of y'all.

Give a fukk if he has alot on his mind, maybe you shoulda been savouring Honey Nut Cheerios instead of posted up at the bodega looking for
