Melos quote sums up everything wrong with this generation

[IWunD3r]

Outside of Hakeem the first time, aint no nikka won it by himself.

Not Mike, Bird, Magic, Isiah, Bron, Wilt, Bill, Jabarr, Julius, Shaq, Tim, Jerry, Frazier, Oscar, Kobe, Wardell...

I don't see what Carmelo said that's wrong....
Wardell play with Klay, Green, Barnes, a healthy Livingston, and Bogut. And a Igoudadla with a jump shot... we see the results.

I think teams had to relinquish rights to players for that to happen though. Could be wrong but modern free agency didn't start until 1993 when Reggie white went to green bay

Jets fukked up big time with that

 

[MostReal]

Yea but they didn't come together like voltron

Exactly

 

[Wargames]

Wait Lebron, Wade, and Bosh formed a big three in their prime but Melo even talking about it is the example of what is wrong with the NBA

Just say the Big 3 ever existing is what is wrong. No reason to shyt on Melo for even bringing the topic up.

 

[KOBE]

kobes lakers had 1 star bytch

Pau Gasol was a top 10 player and a star.

 

[LV Koopa]

The league has always been this way and you're an uneducated fakkit that doesn't know the history of the league if you think otherwise. Or you just like letting management dictate how a star's career should go when you wouldn't allow that to happen in your own life. Still a fakkit just like OP tho

 

[Slaimon Khan Shah]

I don't see it as being so horrible of a quote.

 

[Teko]

Yeah, I respect the Warriors even more now. They built thru the draft and got role players thru free agency

This is the only way of getting players: through the draft or free agency. There is no other way

This is the only way of getting players: through the draft or free agency. There is no other way

Some teams only build thru free agency and trades, and pretty much only use their draft picks as trade bait.

 

[Auger]

Y'all acting like MJ didn't lobby for Rodman when he remembered what the Bad Boys did to them in the late 80s

 

[Gangstar8]

Pau Gasol was a top 10 player and a star.

gasol wasnt a top 10 player

This is what's not being said. I respect the players taking their career into the own hands. Dippin on owners who think they own them .

Mess around end up like Ewing, Barkley, Malone, ect. No ships and getting sonned by the bulls every year.

And lets not forget When Barkley, Scottie, and Hakeem teamed up in Houston


Or when GP and Malone tried to steal ship with Kobe n Shaq only to lose to a team without a real superstar/franchise player Detroit Pistons


Houston did it once with Hakeem then went in got Drexler.

Brehs are either too young or have convenient amneisia

Let's be real, this only extended to the super friends (who happen to be big names...wade, paul, melo, Bron), but the rest of the league ain't on this shyt. Durante ain't begging to play with more help, westbrook, harden, wall, etc ain't bff'ing it up
