Melo (Is It 3 You’re Looking For?)
Top 3 strangest sports parody youtube out there
If Carmelo played as consistent and as good as he has been the past couple weeks for an entire season, he’d be an MVP candidate. Fuck he’d be an MVP favorite. As one of the biggest Carmelo bashers out there, I have no problem admitting that. Nobody has ever questioned Carmelo’s capability. He’s shown flashes of greatness in his career. Its always just been a matter of if he decides to play that way. Just a matter of if he likes his coaches enough and like his teammates enough to play up to his potential.
Well I guess the Knicks have finally figured out what it takes to make Carmelo happy and get him to play like the player they thought they traded for. I don’t know if its Mike Woodson’s beard that looks like its colored in with a Sharpie. I don’t know if its the fact that the Knicks have assembled legitimately the worst point guard platoon in NBA history with Baron Davis/Mike Bibby. None of it seems to make any sense. Probably because none of that actually matters and the reason is just that Carmelo decided to stop playing like a lazy entitled piece of shit. Posts a monster triple double against the Celtics Tuesday night, came out firing and put up 21 in the first quarter last night and ended the game in 12 minutes. And whats fuckin crazy is that he’s actually been playing some defense. Doesn’t matter who stands on the sidelines or which mediocre point guard is running the show, when Carmelo wants to play, he can play.
I’m not fully ready to admit that I was wrong about him. Because I know there will come a time where he’s back to that 19 points on 40% shooting while the rest of the team bends over backwards to cater to him. But for now, ride the wave baby. Guy is playing like a MVP. Love him, hate him, whatever. The Knicks are winning ball games.
pretty sure the word basketball is not interchangeable with the word basically
I really have to ask Knicks fans…why bother? Like…why torture yourselves? Don’t we all already know the ending to this story?
The trip double was good, but his awful aaawful defense in that game should leave that one with an asterisk. He let old man Pierce drop 43!!! Melo is a great offensive player, but until he puts some effort on the other side of the court, he will never be a in consideration for MVP.
a) that youtube video made me laugh b) chances are Landry was guarding Pierce, not Melo. He’s playing the 4 spot now, so Anthony was either on Garnett or Bass.

He was guarding Pierce plenty in that game…but regardless he is an awful defender, everyone knows that. Been like that his whole career. He obviously could be good if he gave more effort on that end.
Its because Melo has been playing the 4 since Amare got hurt. Its easier for him to play D in the 4 spot and he’s able to drive on big men in the post because he can get around them with his first step. Oh…. and he decided to stop acting like a sniveling little bitch once he got D’Antoni fired.
tr1dent i have to ask u why be a new england patriots fan when u already know that outcome bro?
The Knicks are just another 7th or 8th seed in the NBA. Gonna get knocked out in the first round. Funny how some of you NY/NJ bandwagoners don’t see it. Good stuff.
“If Labradford Smith just played every night like that one time when he put up 30 points on MJ, he’d be in the Hall Of Fame”.
82 game sample size, he’s been in a league long enough so here are the cliffnotes what you will get from Carmelo for the remainder of his career:
-inconsistent effort, especially on defense
-couple of great games and game winners every year
-15-20 games a year where he destroys the offense by taking terrible shots and jacking it up 25-30 times while Amare hasn’t touched the ball in 2 quarters.
If he was able to sustain that level of play for 82 games, you’d have seen it by now. So dream on donkey, never gonna happen.
