- Carmelo Anthony joins Stephen A. Smith for an exclusive interview on First Take to discuss his departure from the Houston Rockets. Carmelo details how he was caught by surprise when GM Daryl Morey told him he was "no longer needed" on the Rockets, which he says was "deeper than basketball." Melo adds that Chris Paul and James Harden did not know about his departure, and does not think Mike D'Antoni was involved.

How are you gonna interview him, and the highlights you showing are bricks. The level of disrespect
That’s how they get
Hahaha 😂😂
Ive been saying this for years man, Media will talk MAD shit about a player then have them on talkin em up but then show bricks of them in the back WHILE they are doing interview. It is mad disrespectful. Players should really just not do media EVER and see what they do without em bc these guys are fucking clowns.
🤣🤣🤣
Lord Frieza Christ are you sure?? I remember when Lavar was on the show and he tried to commentate one of Lonzo’s shots that he bricked
They should name this the Stephan A Smith network
Peleg Beck you pushed this way too hard... but ill accept it since its stephen a and its true
SASN 😂
SAS is overexposed. ESPN needs to find new talent...
Who would you rather listen to? Ryan Hollins? 😂
Totally agree
He's getting the Allen Iverson treatment at the end of his career..

Even after all the stress Melo hairline still undefeated
Stressssssssssssssss 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This man is an multi millionaire he better not be stressed looking at those bank statements!!!
God asked Lebron if he wanted hair or rings and Bron said rings. God then asked the same thing from Melo and Melo said “naw I wanna keep my hair, thanks”
Cuz he isn't stressing
Ryan Hollins saying dumb stuff for 10 minutes straight!
on my channel, peep it.It's dope.
The fact they’re showing the highlights of the man missing shots or getting them blocked. That’s psychology for you. Shows you the perspective that they’re trying to enforce.

watching after Melo hit a dagger on the Rockets in the Bubble😎
Bubble melo.
I‘m so happy for him. They did him do dirty!
@Johnny Dane lebron fan? Hahaha he can't win without someone to carry him
Johnny Dane Thats still not very good to me tbh. As great as LeBron is his 6 losses inna finals diminishes his greatness and is the reason why he will be 2nd or 3rd best. Number 1 being MJ. In his 9 finals appearances he’s only won a third of em
Johnny Dane you must be under 18 then. Kobe and MJ were more dominate than LeBron could ever be. If LeBron is so dominate how did he lose 6 finals answer me that

Factz these suits act like we ain't notice the shyt
😭😭
word bro,that was fucked up 💯 everyone misses in the nba
What a difference a year makes, much respect Melo
Yesssssss sir
another year let’s go
This shows you that these superstars are human and have feelings you guys. No negative comments keep the positivity going “I felt like I was fired” Man I felt that myself. Much prayers to you Big Dog.
Pulling the Strings That’s not the point. He has devoted his whole life to basketball. How would you feel if they fired you/ Let you go. Nobody wants to get fired or feel like they’re useless. Nobody should go through that.
@Pulling the Strings they didnt even give melo a chance. They scapegoated him and he wasn't even doing half bad. Dont compare a 9-5 job to a professional athletes job its clearly not the same
Did you think they didnt have feelings before this ? They are just people like all of us
Pulling the Strings for s poor smut like you it’s all about money but for an accomplished millionaire it’s more than financial gains now and more about legacy and respect
@@dasupremegentlelad4321 melo been ass for years. It's a longtime coming .
Example of the media trying to bash melo career. 🤦🏽♂️ how you show highlights of him missing and getting blocked while the man is trying to find answer on why he not in the league.
Lol why are you so focused on the highlights?
That's all he did in Houston. Shot bricks.
@@805fillmore Dafuq are they on the screen if someone isn't supposed to look at them? why ask such a stupid question
Chasers fax
Cause that's what he was doing his last couple seasons. His last game his only fg was a goaltend
Media really pushing melo out the league 🤦🏽♂️ really ballers know melo could still ball. He just have to put his ego aside and accept any role a team put him in. If Jamal Crawford and VC still playing melo can too.
King Tmt real players know melon won’t do it that’s why the nba players and former players don’t want him on their team anymore.
Yep
No defense and too much iso from mid range kills ball movement. Plus he’s not a passer/playmaker type postup player.
He’s only mainly good as a spot up shooter now. But again his defense is non existent.
Since Iggy and Shaun are out of the GSW I think Melo should persue an attempt to join for less to prove he can still ball and keep his personal things off the court
@@Ecaba3 That's half truths tho bruh. You're right he's strong suit is iso post up ball which is a lost art in today's game but to say Melo can't be a playmaker from that spot is kinda a stretch...here's the thing when Melo goes to work with his iso post up game he not used to look to pass simply because hes so skilled from that area of the floor he can usually get a bucket and that's how it was for so long but now with the way teams play now on defense that doesn't work I think if a team or coach sets things up Melo can be uber effective as your leading bench scorer
Luckily Max wasn't here or he would ask "with the fate of the universe in your hands..... would you come off the bench?"
Wtf hahaha
I literally read this in max voice wtf
@@haykalhilman5901 ME TOO!! lol!
He already came off the bench in houston einstein
This got me dead 🤣🤣🤣
Melo accidentally snitched on the Rockets 4 tampering. He said "me and rockets have been talking 3 or 4 years." Lol
j b & in another clip he said ‘I was going to Chicago. I met with the Knicks last.’ He wasn’t a free agent then, how was he meeting with teams?
Neodobby yes he was a free agent that was the summer he resigned with the Knicks
@@tommyandrews6935 oh ok
It was public knowledge the rockets talked to him about coming to Houston for years.
highly doubt Rockets and Dantoni wanted him for 3-4 years. Fool is straight lying. He is just a good player who is a bad teammate (that goes for every team he's been on. Check your ego...youre not that good anymore.

@Connor G and where did you ever play basketball ? since u such A expert
Connor G Imagine writing a whole college essay hating on a man. Couldn’t be me, you pathetic asf.
Carmelo still doesn't understand why he was fired. The guy who edited this video was trying to "help" him get the message.

They couldnt play highlights of him actually hitting his shots LMFAO Seems about savage.
levell18 considering he is going on their program. Shady fuckers
i mean he didn't hit that many with the rockets so.....

Team Fear so we just gonna forget about the 20 point games with the rockets? hating ass nigga
@@beastyboy101bo
He didn't hit that many recently because he trash.
Accept it he's done
Raptors the best place for him.
they got defenders to cover his weakness and raptors need a iso scorer
Nope. They’re trying to compete, not lose
Aaries Harris they’re not gonna compete to win though so it’s worth a tru
I think he can come off the bench for lakers as well. He is a defense liability. I think he should really work on his long range shooting. Reinvent himself as a marksman!
I strongly agree with this.
Jae- jin raptors have Siakam for ISO plays. He’s the new big man in town. Melo would just be another bench player in Toronto.
As a Knicks fan, Melo will always be my favorite Knicks player.
I remember watching him when he was still at Syracuse and then Denver. Never thought this day would come. Best of luck Melo on your next chapter.
This man had 4 20+ point games for the rockets comming off the bench
What more do you want from him?
Stop lying, that fool was starting

I’d dislike this vid but it has melo for an interview
this is why players need more power
coz when teams do them dirty "its business"
but when a player has control over his career "its not healthy for the league"
They showed that man lowlights😒
He and D'antonio have bad history from Knicks days.... i shook my head when he went to Rockets
Yes, you said it. Carmelo should have looked at Marbury/D'antoni's reunion in new york and how that ended.
and it was Melo's fault for the bad history
Melo cried like a bitch just because Jeremy Lin got fame for 2 weeks lmao
D’Antoni is a cock sucker, it was clearly him that pushed for it.
STFU 😠
Anyone here now that he is going to be a trail blazer?
I’m from houston n I can tell you that me n my family loves n appreciate your game melo before and after you was a rocket!!
Talks about him scoring 28 points for rockets and the clips they show hella disrespectful. The nerve of those guys. Every NBA player has bad moments why would they show those at this time
If Melo is so good, why hasn't LeBron picked him up in L.A.? The bottom line is that Melo is a selfish individual that put money and his stats above everything else, not the virtues of a winner or a champion. He played zero defense, his man went right around him and despite being able to occasionally score, the Rockets had a negative efficiency rating while he was on the floor. He is delusional that he still has game and too proud to play in China. The guy is a disgrace and this interview is a misrepresentation of the facts. Melo is out there right now for anyone that wants him, why is nobody moving?
Any nba player can score 28 points one night if given enough shots.
he barely shot over 40%... those 'disrespectful' clips were based on the majority of his play that season
@@blackbeanburger3357 You could easily make a lowlights and shaqtin a fool clip with all bad Lebron plays from last season as well...
@Hoodie Melo difference being harden uses good shot selection where as melo not so much.
The disrespect is insane on this man absolutely outrageous
Edit: damn never thought I'd get all these likes thanks
Made him look like a has been 🤦🏾♂️
@@backwoods4l500 He is..
Triggaman it is bro I don’t understand it like wtf one min everybody loved bro the next min they shittin on him like he was never someone

Is it? OKC didn't want him anymore, Houston dropped him after 10 games.....maybe it's not them.
I hope a team picks him up. Much love and respect. Great player.
Who on Here after 3 game winners in the bubble for Portland by Melo oh wait and Defensive stops left and right.
I’m a lakers fan and man melo did his thing in game 3 that’s just messed up how they played him in Houston.
Dang after Stephen A talkin smack about Melo yesterday, he’s the one to interview him 😂😂
SAS dgaf bro he a Savage.
The interview was planned before he made his comments, and he said he didn’t deserve a farewell tour, that’s not talking smack
AntiSocialJusticeWarrior Stephen A Smith is friend with Melo. Melo asked him to join the show. What he said about him not having a farewell tour was just him being 💯.
He said he had to interview him yesterday😂
saying he doesnt deserve afarewell tour isnt a sleight to him at all
Boy ESPN Dirty 4 showing Carmelo Anthony missing shots while he was talking 😂

I am glad that he is sharing his experience. As a great talent, his story can be an important lessons-learned for future players.
I really hope he goes off this year whatever team he goes to much respect to Carmelo

@@sydguitar99 is that bad that someone wants money
That's how jobs work. Let go with no prior warning It's grimy out here
THE DISRESPECT THATS WHY MOST PLAYERS SHOOT IN THE 40% BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY DONT MAKE EVERY SHOT. HOW U GONNA MAKE A HIGHLIGHT REEL OF HIS MISSES SMH 🤦♂️
Ahmed Chaibi it’s part of destroying his legacy.
this shit drives me nuts, why do ppl feel the need to disrespect him like that ? that's crazy.
For real that was dirty as fuck that they did that
lol
"Most players shoot 40% (from the field)" um yeah most terrible scorers. Even inefficient guys like kemba shoot like 42%, 40% is a joke especially when you're 6'8 and some of your 'shots' are dunks. Curry shoots high 40s low 50s and he never even dunks the ball and takes crazy difficult shots. Kyrie shot 48.7% for example.
Let Carmelo Anthony back in the NBA
As a Knicks Fan, I want Melo back on our team
Well at this point you'd be happy to sign a max deal with jr smith
There’s rumors he might be going back to NY
As a waterboy or an equipment crew?
Melo is smart, Stephen A really tried to make him talk crap on James Harden.
they're honestly trying to do him so dirty with this interview
@@0wned17 no they arent lol. Stephen A gave Carmelo the chance to clear the air and make it clear exactly who and what he had a problem with. If Stephen A didnt ask those questions there would be speculation that Carmelo is going at Harden and D Antoni in this interview but now it's clear that he isnt. Ended a potential beef before it began
They did want him to start drama but it wouldn't have been smart since he's still trying to get on a roster. He can be more honest when he's officially done. No Gm is gonna bring him in if he's talking shit about the previous emplorer unless he was still a star but not a bench player
The producers not Stephen A. but either way....
@@Oddssss At least once person has sense 😏.
People saying melo needs to. Put his ego aside but didn't he do that when he went to Houston he was pretty much doing everything they wanted from him😅
Naw, as a Houston Rockets fan for the past 26 years and who watches every game, Melo was terrible on D. His man scored on him every time and his help D was terrible.
His body is beat up and he was 34 at the time.
Its the downside of Most NBA player careers.
Cornell Ginger You stupid ass nigga, you’re saying he was terrible on D like all the other rockets besides PJ tucker and maybe cp3 don’t NONE of them niggas play D.

@@eibb5136 Are you comparing the mvp franchise player to a 34 year old former all star who came off the bench for the Rockets?
Things happen for a reason. This is Melo humbling experience. Stand up, correct what's wrong and rise. That's life
SAS when waking up: What am I going to eat at this particular moment in time considering the fact that I'm hungry? It hurts me to say this, but I would surmise that at this particular moment in time my dear friend Jaime Oliver is not with me, so after much contemplating, I articulated in my thoughts and came to the exact conclusion that making a chicken sandwich is the best option for ensuring fulfillment as far as eating breakfast goes.

As long as Melo is good with coming off the bench, any team should want him.
Eventually he’ll go back to crying about being benched and not playing enough. Nobody wants this washed fat Melo
Get Gr8 fat?
@Joshua Johnson Carmelo is that you on a burner 😂😂😂😂
He has been blackballed. This is not about talent. The man is going to the Hall of Fame
@J w hes a ball hog and very bad for team chemistry
Carmelo Anthony still have Fire left in him . And all the things been happening to him this past years, he can use it as Fuel to keep him motivated. And prove to the people that they are wrong. Clippers/Lakers is perfect for him the best chance to win a Championship. at this point it's about regaining your legacy. I don't give a damn if they pay me $100 for the whole season as long I can join either of those two teams. Go out with a Bang!
Lakers or Clippers dont want a washed up 35 year old has been like Carmelo Anthony whos slow moving, horrible defender, not good passer, inefficient, ball stopper, cant beat man of dribble, doesnt move without ball, low basketball IQ and is out of shape has body of a drunk 45 year old

Fucked up 😭
MrNerae28 cause he ain't have any highlights
Melo deserves to be on a team, ain't no way there are 200-300 players that fit on a roster better then him
A 6th man role where he can average 15 off the bench is very possible
The problem isn’t his skill it’s his ego
True, but he won’t accept that role( and play defense)
The problem is. He may be a top 100 player, but he's an ageing veteran now and his defense is bad. The league has become super defense oriented.
@@gavinkitchens4101 That's not totally true tho cause he was doin it in Houston he swallowed his pride and ego to come off the bench and for the Rockets to basically fire him within 10 games is really disrespectful imo I'm a big Melo fan so I may be slightly bias but 10 is a really reallllly small sample size for a guy who was know for being the #1 option for scoring it would have took way more than 10 games to get used to playing a bench role
He's old and a defensive liability. Those two factors alone are enough to keep him from getting on a team.
As a Rockets fan, I am very happy to see Melo playing well with the Blazers
😭 Melo you still my favorite NBA player of all time
he dont deserve this bruh :(
Look at the last 3 situations that Melo was in. He's getting a lot of the negative rep that was the organizations' fault. He came from the Knicks, OKC and then Houston. New York has dysfunction all over. OKC people questioned if other stars can win with Russ. Houston had issues with James Harden wanting to run iso ball, while CP3 is more of a traditional guard.
There were issues in all 3 organizations before and after Melo was there, so to even blame Melo for all 3 situations going bad is just unfair to him.
Perhaps he does - my all-time fav NBA player is Patrick Ewing and as a hardcore No. 33 stan, I hated the fact that Ewing was a "black hole" who hardly passed to his teammates but guess what? He was a center who was a beast on the defensive end and big men aren't known to be passers...Melo -on the otherhand, has all the tools to be a great passer and yet, he's a black-hole who isn't a warrior on the defensive-end...so you tell me, “Deserves got nothing to do with it.” - William Munny a.k.a. Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven (1992)
@@lakersphan Houston did not have any issues. They started off last year slow, and it did not work with Melo. It happens. To blame an organization for cutting an aging player that does not fit the team is disingenuous.
Jeremy Lin doesn’t deserve what he’s getting
@@tonycoleman8259 Yes you can blame an organization. Especially an organization that claims their 2 stars have no issues with one another and the next week trade one of them. The same organization that traded younger assets to get the older vet like CP3. A lot of times these people running organizations have no idea wtf they're doing.
One moment you give a aged PG a 4 year max to grow long term, then the next minute you're ready to trade him for a player who even makes less sense to pair with Harden. Houston, we have a problem

Mannnn mellooo forever great
2 things from this segment of the interview:
1. I have a serious issue with ESPN showing only Melo's misses during his time with Houston, what message are ypu trying to send to the public?
2. Why is Daryl Morey telling Melo he isn't gonna make it on the rotation? isn't that D'Antoni's job since he is the coach?
I agree with the first part, but it's possible that D'Antoni didn't even want him in the first place and told Morey that it's his problem if things aren't working out.
This had D'Antoni written all over it...
Melo taking the high road but it's definitely D'antoni
D'Antoni told Morey....hes killing us ,we gotta let him go.If D'Antoni told Melo this to his face....it could've gotten ugly....Morey took it upon himself to tell Melo....The coach is the one who knows if a player is working out with the team and if the coach doesn't feel like it's working out...HE GOES TO THE OWNER....Melo is either taking the high road ( remember he's trying to get back in the league) or he's dumb ASF.
Mad respect to Melo but i think Mike D'Antoni has something to do with you leaving the Rockets or being cut from the Rockets
Mike remembered he had Mike and Lin fired from the Knicks
I love melo no homo bro keep yo head up u a legend dnt trip man
I'm so glad that Portland gave this guy a chance to redeem himself and he did. And now he's finally a Laker. I'm so happy for him.
D'Antoni never wanted him on the Rockets. There was still tension from their NY days. Just my opinion anyway
ColtsFan4Life 35 this could be it
ColtsFan4Life 35 100% dantoni wanted to fuck melo over. He did the same thing to stephon Marbury
Very true.....even before Melo came to the Knicks he didn't want him to join the franchise.
ColtsFan4Life 35 then why hasn’t any other team signed him?
Yup!! Fuck d'antoni. Overrated as a coach!!
Much respect to Carmelo Anthony. Only hope the best for him
When I was 7 my dad walked into my room with a deck of cards and on the back of each card was Melo. I had to find out who this guy was and what I found out was that he was a STAR! From then I started playing basketball.
Melo back 👐👐👐
Leave it up to Stephen A to get us a solid interview right before the weekend.. the goat strikes again !
I've never listened to an Anthony interview before he seems very authentic and I definitely could feel his response when he gave insight into his friendship with CP3 and used words like vulnerable and pain to describe his connection that is very powerful
I believe james harden did know , he the star of the rockets like a captain, he had to know
i would even say harden wanted melo off. low percentage shoots. ball hoggin. no defense. slow.
Melo kind of said that in a subtle way
@@dennisking1445 I don't know how teammates don't talk to each other as "Melo mentioned about his relationship with James Harden. I know NBA basketball is a strange league. But I would have to believe that teammates must talk and communicate with each other if the team is going to succeed. Who knows?
Harden is on nets now lol
This is good he got a interview he will be in nba this season
ESPn is disrespectful showing those highlights esp in a time like this ... stupid on espn part
416jr nah it shows his struggle during his time there. You gonna show a highlight of him making buckets when he got kicked out of the team? That lowlight gives it a nice narrative of his career with the Rockets.

After watching the interview, you can feel that Melo is a very professional basketball player, i respect that.
As a fan of basketball I just want Melo to win I think he has plenty left in the tank awesome interview authentic interview
This is gonna be Westbrook's future. He's the only other player who gets this level of disrespect.
People don't question his heart. People often question Melos heart
Keyce Andreas *allen iverson*
Daaaamn you're right. The narrative being told by the media of Westbrook as of late is that he's an inefficient ball hog.
Nah chill
Funny how they both were ringless and end up on the rockets towards the later parts of their careers. The similarities are astonishing
carmelo anthony rocks on first take !!!
It goes deeper than basketball at this particular moment in time
I think he didn't prepare for life after basketball and still had all his ego tied into the idea of being a star professional athlete. So losing it just like that was traumatizing for him.
Carmello gonna be pissed when he sees the "highlights" they showed lol. Hope you enjoyed the interview espn he won't be back.
Like they would want him back for some reason 😂🤦♂️
Showing this man Bricking... corporate media at its finest.
@@Getloose360 they should also show highlights of Max and Stephen f****** up their predictions
Stephen A said CHARLIE which means NO MOLLY AGAIN !!. THANK GOD 👏🏽
Malik Wright yup first take becomes more watchable everyday without her ass I could only image her sitting at that table interrupting these gentlemen
AMEN thought I was there only one always interrupting and always talking we don't come to hear her at ALL!!!
Her dress is as bright as the ☀️
Charly is a beauty but molly is a loud mouth
Charly is a goddess
my man is strong
So intrigued with what he's saying, didn't notice the background vids.... that's Carmelo Anthony !!!!!!!
Ironically it Came back to bite the rockets in the ass because against a injured warriors team they could’ve used Melo to reach the finals
William Slaughter fuck em
I was super happy when the warriors knocked the rockets out easily, I seen it coming after they released Melo
Noel Johnson Yeah because Melo would’ve really helped...Warriors still would’ve beaten them with or without Melo, get real haha.
Lmao rockets fans still think they actually ever had a shot at beating the warriors In a 7 games series
@@otfaj6962 I'm not a Houston fan but I think they had a chance. Riggt now with hindsight it's easy to throw nk otherwise but they had a shot.
I have so much respect for Carmelo Anthony he's my favorite small foward of all time. Hopefully he'll be signed to a team soon.
If Melo is so good, why hasn't LeBron picked him up in L.A.? The bottom line is that Melo is a selfish individual that put money and his stats above everything else, not the virtues of a winner or a champion. He played zero defense, his man went right around him and despite being able to occasionally score, the Rockets had a negative efficiency rating while he was on the floor. He is delusional that he still has game and too proud to play in China. The guy is a disgrace and this interview is a misrepresentation of the facts. Melo is out there right now for anyone that wants him, why is nobody moving?
@@TandemKnights I never said Melo was good I just said that he was my favorite SF. And I just want him to be signed to a team soon
@@coopon3fps684 What could you possible like about this guy? You would never raise your kid to be like him, he is selfish in every definition of the word and now he is delusional. He has never won anything in the NBA....I don't get it.
@@TandemKnights the reason why he's my favorite SF is because of his Denver days and Knicks days.
TandemKnights nigga so people cant have their favorite players? how you gonna question my man on why he likes a certain player? tf melo is a hall of famer gtfo
Great guy Hope you fine a team very soon
And now,, he's happy on the lakers 💛💜
Melo answered these questions so professionally, didn’t cause any drama and weaved all questions
Dang man I feel for him you can tell he really loves the game and he took it to heart when he got let go.
Look at Melo now shinning with the Blazers
They ain’t saying that now!!! Melo a beast 💪🏾
This man is hella savage in 2k. He be scoring all over contested or not.
Bruh he always has had the best shot in mycareer melo form is too pure
