Melo chilling in the favelas

[Geek Nasty]

I find it hard to believe he was in the "hood". Those cats are starving out there. I never seen anything as no-fukks-given as those kids just walking up and trying to lift shyt off of tourists. That's not even pickpocketing. That's snatch and stand there to see what you want to do about it.

And, that's the tourist spots. WTF would happen if you were on their block with nobody around to even think about helping you?

If you're black you can go to the favelas. Like any hood in the Usa. You just gotta know how to act and blend in,

But Melo might mess around and get kidnapped

I wanna see what cats gonna say about their SJW hero Bomanni talking about Melo now.All I wanna know is why cats can't let things be esp when they themselves ain't doing shyt. I like Bomani most of,the time but for all the talking he does you'd think this dude the next coming of Malcolm Luther Garvey or some shyt with a ton of shyt we can say he did outside of talking.

What bomani say?

I'm a Knicks fan and I love Melo but let's not act like this isn't a photo op. I guess he can be given props for the Photo op because I don't see a Paul George or Jimmy Butler doing it. If it was more than a photo op he would have had a politician or activist with him, with some resources and a plan in place for when he leaves...and just maybe...no cameras. But it is what it is. I've done the same shyt in Cabrini Green in Chi when it was still standing back in 99. I had to get a pic in a foreign hood. Feeding my ego so I could be on some "yeah I'm in every hood nikka what" shyt.

And even if Melo wanted to roll with no security, there's no way MSG or the Jordan Brand is gonna allow that with all the money they have tied up in him. That's even a bad look for USA basketball.

So I think that's what may have turned some ppl off in this thread. It comes across more as "look! I'm not afraid of poor ppl!" cuz all you did was have your pic taken and pose for a mural. You didnt leave the ppl with anything. And you were very secure not just out and about for dolo.

I still fukks with Melo tho. Live ya life playboy. And let's go deep in the playoffs in 2017. :salutemelo:

This is something melo does all over the Caribbean and I'm guessing wherever else he travels

He's a man of the people. Especially the black less fortunate

It's kinda part of his brand legacy

But before u judge him for taking the photo op or passing through the favela you never know the impact just meeting Carmelo could have on kids and their life and future.

Yea Carmelo isn't not gonna solve the problems in the favela by showing up and playing a pickup game but it's better than nothing

What's Michael phelps doing?

That's my goat...

Melo a real one

 

[Nuke Dukem]

On the real though, even athletes from favelas get touched in Brazil. I remember when they kidnapped Robinho's mother (dude on the right) , from his own hood, right before he made a big money move to Europe

Photo looks a lil suspect... Dude on the left is doing the face

What bomani say?

Bascially what some in here were saying implying that it was a pr type move and didn't help anything.

That's Mi KNICKA: BLACKEXCELENCIA

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

Like you melo haters would go in these favelas yourselves.

The only one off team USA doing this and coli cats are aggy as fukk. Dude playing with the kids and spending time with the people and he's not even Brazilian. He donates a lot of his time and money when he's in PR and always got videos of him in the hood out there. So I do not understand the hate behind something like this.

Another "he shoulda came to the favelaa with an economic plan, in hand" ass niqqa.
