Seriously, how did Melo age so badly?

[The G.O.D II]

Funny thing is he’s finally accepted the four position after what felt like years of everyone saying he should and he can’t even really excel at that. Watching him try to score in the post or shoot is awful due to his shyt vertical. Only true effort I see from him now is cursing out his teammates to gtfo the way of rebounds so he can pad stats

Not everybody's LeBron. Most players retire before their 15th season.

2003 NBA Draft | Basketball-Reference.com


6 out of 47 players are still playing from that class that at least played a season

 

[Stinky Diver]

Never got an old man game like Wade.

Which is crazy because Melo is the one who I think most people thought would adapt more as he got older.

 

[horizon]

his ego doesn't allow him to sacrifice for the sake of the team

 

[Shogun]

He needs to get in the gym. All his problems he's experiencing right now can be corrected

Stamina, jumping ability, defense... all can be attributed to his lack of weight lifting and strength/cardio exercises

You must have missed his off-season workout videos

I called it soon as he married la la..rice and beans made him fat

 

[krazykid18]

the hate in this thread is useless he aged badly because he had shoulder surgery and he had knee surgery which took him out the rest of the season in 14 which ended his career.

But that blazer play what i am suppose to see the blazers guessed right on the kick out and had two guys on him, and he tried to make a play but he is 34 and doesn't have the speed get thru and then made a bad pass, and then the last play is whatever

Dude never really workes on his game over the years and it's clear he hasn't taken care of his body.

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

He always been a fat mess

When he retires dude will be pushing 400

 

[KravenMorehead™]

The game ain't in him no more

None of it

this shyt got me laughing out loud

 

[Ben.]

bbbbbut he's better than Draymond! Foh

[Fenian]

Because he doesn't taker care of his body or work to adapt his game like Lebron does.


This is just how most fellas look at his age, Lebron is the exception not the rule.

bbbbbut he's better than Draymond! Foh

OKC might be a better team with Grant in the game and Melo on the bench and I am not kidding. Melo's looking real bad out there, can't hit shots, doesn't pass and is a turnstile on defense

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

It's wild...I've been shytting on Melo the last what 4-5 years. Even then I'm not really taking pleasure in watching him crumble and age like this.
