- In The basketball world one player has been seen as Overrated. He is an #nba Legend and he has played in multiple nba seasons averaging over 20 points. He played for teams like the Denver Nuggets, the #newyorkknicks , the Okc Thunder, the Houston Rockets, and the Los Angeles Lakers. If you don’t understand what nba player I’m talking about his name is #carmeloanthony and he has the best nba highlights today. Was Carmelo Anthony very selfish or is this going to be something on how the New York Knicks wasted Carmelo Anthony’s prime. Speaking of Prime these nba players like Kobe Bryant, Paul George, Paul Pierce, and Draymond Green described how it was like guarding prime Carmelo Anthony, and this is the New York Knicks editions and it all started with the New York Knicks rumors and The New York Knicks news when he was first traded over there. In my opinion that was the best version of Carmelo Anthony he was a great basketball player and he has the best basketball highlights while playing for New York. He has some of the best hooper highlights. It’s so amazing watching this basketball player play. In New York we had some Carmelo Anthony highlights and we had an amazing moment of 7pm in Brooklyn. These nba players who now run their own podcasts were telling us some amazing nba stories on Carmelo and how hard it was to guard prime. We think these nba legends and players for telling us these experiences. The things they have said went totally viral and it broke the nba news. Is Prime Carmelo Anthony a hall of famer? My nba predictions today is that yes Carmelo Anthony will go in the hall of fame. His offensive skills carry his lack of defense but he has had an amazing career and we still speak of him as one of the greatest if not the greatest offensive players in nba today. In the 7pm In Brooklyn Podcast Carmelo Anthony is on their a lot and he gives us a lot of gems about the basketball game. He mentions the Knicks trade rumors, the new York Knicks trade rumors. He is amazing on his nba podcast and we love talking about his nba stories and nba best moments. Is Carmelo Anthony overrated or not? In the nba season we still talk about this legendary player.

Melo is the most physical scorer. "you gonna feel this 30." KD is the most gifted with his length and height and range. Kobe had the most finesse and footwork.
I’ll never forget watching Melo take the scoring title from KD against KD last regular season game or one of the last ones
While beating them in Oklahoma!!
Melo the reason LeBron didn't get unanimous MVP in 2013 :-)
Melo deadass could’ve been an nba player just with his jumper. 💯💪🏾
He was an NBA player 🤦🏽♂️
I can typically gauge the intelligence level accurately for people who say, "dead ass."
@@Wahhhhhhhhhhhe saying jumpshot alone gang
@@ViVeriVniversvmVivusVici wanna debate? Deadass is an nyc term. Has nothing to do with intelligence. Ms. Viviviverivevasvrmvus. I discard 70 letter names. #daFUQ
@@treyhunna people just need to feel like they’re smart. When in actuality, they aren’t. 💯🤷🏾♂️
He's not a person named Danny, he's talking about Danny Granger. He was PG before PG, on the same team. If he didn’t get hurt he would have been a top 2 way player
You gonna feel this 30
sound like a chief keef bar
Even now, Melo is my dude. I watched him every since he was in College. Being a Knick fan, I loved when he was there. #staymelo
The league cheated Melo to promote LeBron smfh
Idc Melo is the greatest scorer of all time. Some people say KD but that’s because he’s 7 feet with Pg handles Melo could do it all 3s, Mid range, face up, post up PICK YOUR POISON!
Yeahhh top 10 maybe . Def not best . Jordan , Kobe , iverson , t Mac , def better : but melo is close and up there
Kd literally can do everything u named
whatever drugs your taking please stop
The dude was built like a tank.
He can literally score at will but sometimes his shot selection was ass, forced and chucked shots he didn’t need to. Nobody could stop him in the post
That's true
I’m a huge Melo fan and you’re absolutely right, he settled a lot
I’m a Melo fan & he’ll tell you inna sec . He won’t care about percentages 😂🤷♂️
@@WBxMason😂
Accurate
Danny Granger 😂😂😂
Meloitis
😂😂😂😂
He was really strong. And i didnt really appreciate his size till after he was out.
Ayo #PAUSE
@@AngeloBx my bad lol. No homo. Melo was dope
AyeYO
WOH!
Df?😂😂😂
Real ones know Melo used to give Bron work and I'm a Bron fan.
Facts. Tell that to other Bron fans
Ohh. We definitely know lebron didn't want to check him, either. Lebron would throw Battier, Wade, UD on Melo to wear him out and then check him late in games after those other 3 had worn him down.
My problem with this video is that the correct game clips were not chosen.
Melo is one of the best scorers of all time. It’s honestly a shame the NBA changed around him.
My favorite player melo
Melos 50 piece against the Heat back in '13 (???) is all you need to know #stayme70
Costed LeBron an unanimous MVP and should have been ROY over Bron as well
@@BallCDO Agreed on both points
Pure scorer
My 🐐
Sweetest looking jump shot 😍
Top 3 easily. Facts. Kobe say it, he’s the hardest player to defend. If the NBA didn’t rob him a rookie of the year and rings wit Kobe . This conversation wouldn’t be happening now
He's the greatest scorer
First of all, I also believe melo is a better pure scorer than kd. Melo was a problem and a lot of people over look it or don’t give him his due because he didn’t win anything.
There is another quote from Kobe where he says melo is the strongest player he ever played against. There was also a stat floating around back when melo was playing that his clutch shooting percentage(shots he made to win or take the lead in a game) was higher than Kobe, Lebron and MJ. I don’t know if that still holds up as the last several years of his career weren’t really peak or prime melo but never the less he was a monster offensively.
Melo also said in an interview that one offseason he went and worked out at MJ’s house and MJ showed him a bunch of one on one moves specifically out of the triple threat stance and also with his back to the basket and melo said after learning those he felt like he was unstoppable and could literally score on anyone at any time, and he absolutely could.
Lastly, when PG was talking and you said “some guy named Danny” like wtf bro?! Do you even know basketball?! Danny Granger was a problem too! He was an elite offensive player in his prime and he was very decent on Defense. He just wasn’t very fast. But he gave out work just like melo did, just not quite at that level but still a beast. Danny Granger very underrated along with Rudy Gay and Melo.
My favorite Melo quote from seeing him play live for Portland “I got it, fck outta here!” -Melo to teammates when going for rebounds
Melo would’ve been a legend in the 80s and 90s but the problem is that when the game evolved during the 2010s his game stayed in the 2000s. Remember….at one point no one wanted him even as an all time great
No the league wanted just LeBron to shine and u can't convince me otherwise
As a casual basketball viewer growing up, i must have missed this domination because only thing i remember about Carmelo is him ball hogging and bricking tf out that ball.
Yeah you missed out
Melo's moves looks hella smooth bet mofo was physical as hell when he was making contact against his defender.
This man said a starter named Danny lol. How old are you
Right!? Like he was just some dude. Gotta be young.
Man Danny granger was a walking bucket before injuries and how soft he became .
NBA 2k10 , I would score 50 easy on anyone with that man .
@@charlieboo1830 facts. He was tall and could do everything
I agree
I think that’s Danny Granger
No doubt
I think people confuse how smooth his game was at his size for him being slow(in NY). He was backing down almost anyone, could squeeze from anywhere and was grabbing every fucking board lol
Yeah dude wasnt agile. And had alot of moves in one spot
His first step was one of the quickest and his second jump was the one the quickest in his prime fasho …. Like Kobe said he was to strong for smaller players and to fast for players strong enough to guard him in the post
@@luchikapone142 he was alaoo efficient with his moves. Mostly 3-4 steps either shoot or drive.
I said it for years Melo is better than Bron
Gotta be my boy Danny granger lol
You need to be smack for even thinking this, yet alone actually saying it
Melo my dawg!
Melo reppin Bmore🏀⭐️💯💰
#STAYME7O 😤😤
“A player named Danny” 😂😂😂😂
Danny was a fucking bucket Rs
He was fat, fast ant tall….the ultimate scorer
Fat? Dude wasn’t fat at all. He wasn’t ripped, and he wasn’t skinny, but not even close to fat,
@@marquisperkins4578he’s quoting Iguodala. Even then, I think it’s just an exaggeration because he was solid. Especially when he went on his “no patrón” diet.
Melo might have been the most complete scorer after the Jordan era. It’s really just between him and Kobe as far as the best complete offensive threat.
Well there was the Melo that cared if his team won, and he was top 10 all time maybe. Then there was the other Melo who shot as soon as he touched the ball regardless of where he was, who was guarding him, what the score was, or really anything. Then he would maybe stay in that same spot or maybe run down to the other side of the court eventually.
Melo over KD.
It's amazing when he went to the Knicks that's when everyone pick up on the fact that he couldn't play very well, but it seemed like he was the only player in the league who was a poor defender no one else in the league just Melo! And no one fairly Addresses those Poor that he was on the knicks where bad before he got their gave them some respectability while he was there and we're bad after he left.
Brother . Unless English isn’t your first language , do yourself a favor and hit the books , start reading please .
That because they just wanted LeBron to shine but it backed fired because Chef Curry came along. God doesn't like ugly 😊
And my boy got cheated 4 rookie of the year
And MVP
Who are your other top 2 scorers
hmm, ppl i have watched in action, 90s Mike, 2000s Shaq, 2010s Steph, each being a better scorer by dominating the league to the point that all other teams need to have specific plans to copy or counter their teams play style just beacuse of one player.
How do you not mention iverson . Literally a better scorer.
You couldn't stop melo. He was quick. First step is everything in basketball. It dictates what happens next. I love melo's dribble pull up game. Better than Kobe and Bettsr than Mike at the mid range in my opinion. He's also one of the few mid range shooters from his era who actually took 3's. That's confidence in that era if you weren't a 3 and d guy.
Best triple threat in basketball history
Danny Granger 🤦🏾♂️😂
A video of Kyrie getting blocked by Kobe vs Melo swooning thru the league 🤣
If Melo would have taken pride on the defensive end he would have been Top 10 -15 easily. He's definitely one of the greatest scorers I've ever seen
You know nothing… Melo guarded the best player on the other team every night before teams started getting defensive 3 and D players so the stars could focus on offense… all stars and players do that now
@@sin3326 no tf he didn't, Example is the WCF, Kenyon Martin guarded Kobe majority of the series. It's a reason Melo doesn't have any defensive accolades under his belt and that's cuz he didn't play defense consistently. And FYI Melo is my blood cousin and I've told him this to his face as well
@@donaldbrown9839 u sound stupid… y would Kenyan Martin a pf/center guard a shooting guard… they switched to get the mismatch… no coach in they right mind would put Kenyon Martin on any guard… he was a down low big body… good player too… but dnt ever say they put K on Kobe… Datz asking to get scorched…
N if Melo your cousin tell him he my favorite player of all time n the best offensive scorer in history… n I want a autograph n a ticket to kiyan next game
Kobe said Tmac
So Danny Grainger struggles taking a shower?
Bro dont know who Danny Granger is
Danny Grainger
Danny granger?
Melitis😂
*Danny Granger*
jordan, kobe, kd, melo
greatest scorers in my eyes
You going to forget iverson like that ?
Top 3 scorer of all time? Let’s write some names, Kareem, MJ, Wilt, Kobe, AI, KD, Harden, LeBron, Dirk. He is a better bucket than some of them, the case for top 10 is easy… but top 3?
His bag is deeper and could score at will, only one comparable was Jordan, Kobe couldn’t score or bully ball easy buckets like melo.
@@koreyg8552 Are you saying Melo was a better scorer than Kobe? Or just that he was better scoring physically with his back to the basket?
@@TenThumbsProductionsHarden, Bron, and KD aren’t on Melo level scoring wise. Harden is a one trick pony, Bron has no bag, and neither does KD. Melo had an answer for everything literally if you too small for him back to the basket, if you too slow for you he’s blowing by you, if you Lebron, Ron Artest size and athleticism he’s pulling out all the tools pump fake, spin, isolation, mid post, high post, low post, jab step, fadeaway left or right, he’s doing it all. He’s One of the few players I’ve ever seen can get 50-60 points just off mid range alone only him, Bird, Kobe, Mike, and Dirk can do that.
@@tylercanton3836 KD doesn’t have a bag? If Melo can get 50-60 points of mid range alone why he never score 50-60 points with just his mid range? His 4 four 50 point plus games, 50, 50, 50 and 62 he made 13, 8 14 and 16 free throws. When you say Harden is a 1 trick pony, you mean the step back 3? The 8 APG? Getting to the foul line? That is a lot more than 1 trick. All your good points are dismissed by all the terrible takes you followed them with.
T Mac made Kobe fall ..
The nba destroyed Mello to push lame bron agend
Facts, glad I'm not the only one to see that
yes his offense is great, but defense? he ain't at kobe, KD and lebron lvl
U mean Kobe. KD and bron only lock up ppl when they feel like it. If they got 30 the way melo did they’d slack on D too
Melo is the best scorer he had all the tools. 5 tool scorer. And if you are asking what’s a five tool scorer you’re already out.
Most Skilled, Diverse and Complete Scorer Ever!!!!
Put some respect on Danny Granger. Come on now
Melo easily could’ve been top 2 scorer in the league if they didn’t black ball him
Nah u tripping he fell off toward the end
@@G-spookyk4zsno he didn’t he was blackballed and didn’t go along get along.
Prime Melo top 5 scorer
Melo the best flat out scorer ever !!!
Facts
Hell no 😅
PG STEPH
SG RAY ALLEN
SF CARMELO
PF RASHEED WALLACE
C BEN WALLACE
Detroit
He a better scorer than KD but KD a better shooter and can get his shot off anywhere. Melo was a straight bully on the court though, he was getting 30 pts by force.
Imagine if Melo had a playoff team his entire career. Who would have the NBA scoring record? 🤔
Melo is only 1 tht could show lebron he was the guy..... even kobe knew it
Carmelo was a brute he is skilled but this video makes him over rated . He also stopped the flow of 🏀 😂. Carmelo is a 🪣top 3 scorer stop it 😂😂🛑✋
So does Lebron
Melo has all the tools to be great, enough to be the Goat if he wanted to. Unfortunately, in the big prime time games, in the head to head match ups against the other greats in the league, he rarely outplayed them.
I can remember the games against the heatles and the Knicks needing his scoring and he does a 21 pt game, with four rebounds and 1 assist,and bad fg%. He would have one good game against a great like in every six games....but he was mostly underwhelming. And if he can't score, he isn't going to give you anything else...no assists, no defense and occasionally rebound🤦.
I love his bag, he had so many ways to score, arguably top three in that category all-time, but he didn't have the heart/will/determination in big games or big matchups to make up for his lack of contribution in other areas. That's why he was not a winner.
😂you mentioned one game..you haters never cease to amaze..
Agreed
@realamerican8069
It's an established fact that Melo wasn't a winner. What did he win? It's an established fact that he as a scorer and nothing else. What else was he great at? Even as a scorer, statistically, he can't possibly be ranked top 5. You'd have to take stats out of the equation and go purely off of who has the deepest bag.
By any objective standards however, Steph Curry is a better scorer. Because he scores more and does it more efficiently.
How much can you score, how consistent is your scoring, can you score big in big games, and how efficient can you be while scoring? That is the correct measure of a scorer.
The question that the players were answering was essentially, who is toughest to stop from scoring. They said Melo because he was a versatile scorer. But most other top scorers are more versatile all around ball players while being able to score as much as or more than Melo even without scoring in as many ways as Melo.
@@realamerican8069 That was just a hypothetical example, if I looked it up,I'm sure he had a dozen of those. My point was, in the big games, vs a LeBron or a Durant, he just never performed like he should...and what I mean by that is,elevate his game to Lebrons/Durant's level or higher....not to pad stats,but because we needed every point. He didn't have that unfortunately, was clutch sparingly and never gave the overall "effort" win in those type games. Disappointing point blank.
What bag all he had was a jab and pull up lol
Honestly thought the bronze was a better score.He just chose to basketball.
Imagine how many points lebron would have if he would have played selfish hed be at like 47 48 thousand
Yeah you don’t know basketball Lebron is not a great scorer.
@@tylercanton3836facts he doesn't know ball at all. LeBron not a good enough shooter
I don’t understand lebron has 40k points
Because hes better than melo
@@G-spookyk4zs exactly I’m just saying people be throwing shade at Lebron bad.
No major injuries and longevity with high scoring numbers. Melo missed a whole season to injury, was a free agent for another and had to retire atleast 3 yrs too early. Melo would’ve easily reached 35 k.
Plus melo went to college and bron went to to pros from high school. 1000s of points right there. God knows what he’s putting in his body to stay young now.
Melo is overrated
So is Lebron
Melo underrated, the league just wanted LeBron to shine but Chef Curry came along :-)
Melo was a different player than most, as a Fan I don't think he knew how different of a player he was. Dude could have been much more special than he thought. He was big and unpredictable than he knew. I pattern and teach his game to kids more because you didn't know how he was going to score....Lay-up, pull-up etc., he was that type of player!!!
The league didn't want him to be special because it would have made LEBRON look bad
no one will say melo was the greatest "scorer" of all time, step back bro... you hella reaching with that one. shoutout @strictlybidnessllc5164 ;)
From 3pt line to the basket he may be the easiest bucket of all time in any league
but you never guarded him.
@tedweldon1763 if your coming at me? First off. He's 15 years younger than me of course I never guarded him. I did Excell in college and played over seas for 8 years. Did u at least make it passed JV?
Ok? Sorry your feelings were....hurt?@@tedweldon1763
We can agree to disagree, that's the best part about being an adult.@@edwardchristian9529
