"I'm Carmelo Anthony... and I refuel.. with chocolate milk." -Melo in a nutshell

[stallionaire]

Fat **** drinks chocolate milk at half time and while he rests on the bench. Get some water or electrolytes in you, fat ****. Same vitamims and nutrients as regular milk, sure. But chocolate milk in the lockerroom :biggums:

Did you just make this up as a way to bash Melo? Or did you take him doing a commercial and decide its something he lives by?

It's hilarious to me how little you care about your own team. You basically just post anti knick stuff. Obsessed much? Why don't you follow your own kings or whatever they were. Do you remember which team you rep?

[NewYorkNoPicks]

Unless youre a Laker, Heat, Thunder, Clippers or Bulls fan your team doesn have a player of Melos caliber on the roster. So kiss my ass and enjoy the pseudo-star your shit team has as its "centerpiece"

I know a lot of boxers who drink chocolate milk after workouts ... it's probably better to drink whole milk but if you're working out hard enough, the extra calories don't matter too much.

Did it ever bother you that Lin was completely shoot first and dominated the offense when he played? Or is that only a concern with Melo? Because Lin was a shoot first player 100%.

People are trying to rewrite this like Lin was this selfless reincarnation of Jason Kidd taking 3 shots a game, he completely dominated the offense throughout Linsanity.

Lin is a much better passer than Melo is and Lin is not a ball-stopper like Melo is either. Lin makes his teammates better, Melo does not which lies the difference.

Melo's offense = everybody stand in a corner or go near the basket to prepare for an offensive rebound. No movement what so ever.

Melo is an inefficient Adrian Dantley which is probably the worst combination you could look for.

Post-Workout Drinks

When it's time to choose a liquid chug after a long, tough workout, there's a slew of options out there. Water? Gatorade, POWERade, or All Sport? Endurox R4? Physiologist Joel Stager, director of the Human Performance laboratory at Indiana University, has even one more potential workout recovery drink to add to the list: chocolate milk. His latest study, published in this month's International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, names this kids' favorite an optimal post-exercise recovery aid.

Before your stomach recoils, take a look at chocolate milk's ingredient list. For a high-endurance athlete, Stager's team sees it as a catch-all workout recovery drink. Compared to plain milk, water, or most sports drinks, it has double the carbohydrate and protein content, perfect for replenishing tired muscles. Its high water content replaces fluids lost as sweat, preventing dehydration. Plus it packs a nutritional bonus of calcium, and includes just a little sodium and sugar -- additives that help recovering athletes retain water and regain energy.

Drinking plain water after exercise replaces sweat losses -- and that's it. "Chocolate milk provides carbohydrate replenishment to your muscles -- something they can metabolize," said Jason Karp, MS, another researcher for this study. "There's nothing to metabolize in water."

Stager's assessment of chocolate milk is even simpler. "It's water plus a whole lot more," he said.

The Case for Carbs

Ready to switch your bottled water for chocolate milk? Assess your workout level first. Downing a post-workout beverage chock-full of carbohydrates isn't just for the weekend tennis player, said Stager -- and that's key. A drink like chocolate milk is most useful to a cyclist, swimmer, or long-distance runner. These sports stress high endurance levels and constant, sustained movement. Competing athletes need high levels of calories, carbs, and protein to sustain that level of performance.

Stager tested out chocolate milk's performance as a workout recovery drink on nine cyclists. In his lab, each athlete biked until exhaustion, and then rested for four hours. During this break, each consumed low-fat chocolate milk, Gatorade, or the high-carbohydrate sports drink Endurox R4. Afterward, they cycled to exhaustion again.

The results were positive. His research team concluded that the athletes who consumed chocolate milk performed just as well or better as those who drank the other beverages. The high carb and protein content in milk make it an incredibly effective recovery drink, Stager said -- even though it's never been marketed as one.

You gotta admit it is pretty funny that a dude that's consistently had questions about what kind of shape he's in is doing a chocolate milk commercial talking about drinking it during and after games, I know I laughed when I saw it. I'm not as big of a critic on Melo as others (though I do agree with some of the things they say) but it was funny.

c'mon. that's not fair comparing melo to eddy curry. melo arguably isn't even fat. his playing weight isn't that high. unfortunately, he isn't a high energy player like lebron and iggy, but he's quick as anyone and moves well. I think he just has a chubby face and minor man boobage which makes him seem fatter than he is.

eddy curry is obese and couldn't even get on the court because of it.

I'd say melo is clearly above pierce at this point. But pierce is still a great player and not a significant bit worse than melo so perhaps I should have listed him. Pierce did very poorly in the playoffs this year though.

Apparently OP doesn't know about nutrition. If you did, you'd know that for years chocolate milk has been known to be a good drink after a workout.

The commercial is funny to me because chocolate milk isn't a brand. It's like doing an advertisement for beards. "Beards are awesome... you should wear one".

Kevin Love - Mr. Empty Stats. Good numbers on a shit team that dont translate to wins, no science to his post game, prefers to shoot long jumpers or scorefrom putbacks.

Zach Randolph - more cancerous than the disease itself. Fat his whole career, cant play defense to save his life, thinks hes KG but hea closer to Andray blatche. A career loser, hangs out with gangs.

Parker - a scoring point guard who never averaged more than 5 or 6 assosts till last season. Average court vision at best, weak defender, poor jump shooter

Rondo - the ultimate team player, not a frnachise player. Couldnt carry a team on his back.

Dirk - declining, soft, average at best rebounder, horrible defender. His only redeeming attribute is his versatile offensive game. Was regarded as soft until he won that title. Take your blinders off people

Any of those teams GMs would give up those guys for Melo in a heartbeat. You guys are biased and will reach untill your arms pop out to deny the truth. You know what type of people deny the truth? Those that are scared of it...weak people

Scoring? Love, he scores more points and is more efficient at it
Rebounding? Love, Love is arguably the best rebounder in the game
Passing? Love, Love is a tremendous passer and was known for it coming out of College.
Defense? Love, Love isn't great at this but he isn't as bad as Melo.

You seriously cannot think of one thing Melo does better than Love except score in cooler fashion maybe.

[CJ Mustard]

I remember when people thought Melo going to the Knicks would make them contenders. The guy's by far the least feared superstar in the league. The Knicks would have been much better off with Amare as their center piece. It's a shame they chose to make Melo their guy instead of the better player of the two.

Yep. I'll give Melo credit as being a good face up scoring threat. Nothing else though.

[stallionaire]

Melo has 1 playoffgame on Love and the only reason that is: Lin winning 10 games for NY in the middle of the season. Love's supporting cast went without Rubio and people quit on Love.

He did work in Denver but he eventually became their blackhole.

I would definitely rather have Dirk than Melo (maybe not now because Dirk is old, but if this were 5 years ago, yeah) ... but I guess I would rather have Melo than the rest of those guys ... I think you're selling Parker short for what it's worth. He has pretty good court vision and is a good decision-maker.

I don't think KLove is that great. He is just not that athletic is his big problem (and he's not quite tall enough to make up for it like Dirk and Pau).

Actually no, Melo has always been one of my least favorite players in the league.

I always said that the Knicks shouldn't have made the trade for Melo in 2011. I didn't want them to either because I thought the Knicks were doing good with that current core and with Amare. I enjoyed watching the Knicks play with that current core as well and I rooted for them. Knicks ended up making that dumb move (as usual) for Melo and now they're stuck in pretender land and probably will be until his contract expires.

I don't care about the Knicks. I don't like the fact that they didn't keep Lin but I'll get over that eventually. I do have respect for their fans because they are great fans. I just don't like some of their players especially Melo.

ZBos has never relied on athleticism. He cant jump a foot off the ground. He relies on his footwork and good hands. He uses the extra pounds to push people around. He would be a much worse player if he was to lose 15-20lbs. Indeed he has been on loosing teams most of his career, but he has also averaged 20/10 most of his career

I used to get in fights with my friends about Zbo when he was on the Knicks ... they said he was a loser black hole and I said he was a very talented player being poorly utilized on a stupidly built team (he should have NEVER been paired with eddy curry)

in 2011 it seemed like he finally got it, but then last year was a disappointment. he is so talented, but I think he is always going to struggle to get over his black hole tendencies.

He tore his MCL in the third game of last season. He was never back to %100 all of the games he did play. He was not well conditioned and was coming off the bench until the playoffs came. I expect big numbers from him again next year.

Yeah well and why would you say that? Because Pierce is getting there in age? Or you simply base it on a fact that so far Pierce has been better each and every year? Proven he has the qualities that guys like Anthony lack of? I just hate people giving something in advance to somebody, only because they anticipate that somehow tables should turn, like that is given in sports. Because player A has never done that but we all wait him for, ok, this time player A is doing it. Yeah right but how about considering the past. :coleman:

Yes, Melo is better than Kevin Love, Zach Randolph, and Tony Parker (with the way Parker played at the end of last year though, this is debatable...but I think Parker played better than usual and will come back down a little bit).

The problem is that with his potential, Carmelo should be on Kevin Durant-Chris Paul-Dwight Howard level.

[Sarcastic]

Most people post out of their asses and don't know a thing about body composition & body fat levels. Melo has a fairly low BF% reading, the thing is, his muscle is not as well developed as say Lebron, Iggy etc. Low BF% doesn't always correlate to being shredded. Some players play better with a little more weight on them. The thing that encourages me, is that Melo has lost 15lbs this offseason and will be in prime playing condition for next season. Hoping he builds on his April performances which shows he can quite easily be a top 5 player when he switches on and wants to.

Yeah i'm a pretty keen gym goer and know a fair bit about muscle building/nutrition/bf% etc. Wouldn't expect any less from Stallionare though as he is a proven troll/knick hater.

Kevin Love - Mr. Empty Stats. Good numbers on a shit team that dont translate to wins, no science to his post game, prefers to shoot long jumpers or scorefrom putbacks.

Zach Randolph - more cancerous than the disease itself. Fat his whole career, cant play defense to save his life, thinks hes KG but hea closer to Andray blatche. A career loser, hangs out with gangs.

Parker - a scoring point guard who never averaged more than 5 or 6 assosts till last season. Average court vision at best, weak defender, poor jump shooter

Rondo - the ultimate team player, not a frnachise player. Couldnt carry a team on his back.

Dirk - declining, soft, average at best rebounder, horrible defender. His only redeeming attribute is his versatile offensive game. Was regarded as soft until he won that title. Take your blinders off people

Any of those teams GMs would give up those guys for Melo in a heartbeat. You guys are biased and will reach untill your arms pop out to deny the truth. You know what type of people deny the truth? Those that are scared of it...weak people

I think zbo has a worse winning percentage too ....

you know, zbo and melo are similar to me ... I used to defend zbo when he was on the knicks. he was a talented player on a crappy team and people probably gave him too much flak and overlooked what he could be in the right situation.

melo is kind of similar ... unfortunately he probably will not escape the knicks

Do you realize that chocolate milk is one of the healthiest post-workout drinks and a very healthy drink overall?

[stephanieg]

Dirk and Pau aren't ahtletic? Did you ever watch Pau in Memphis? How many 7 footers move like Dirk?

I thought this was funny because Dirk is one of the most awkward players ever. The only comparable player from the 00s I can think of is Paul Pierce and his slow motion drives to the basket.

[LiLharvard]

I can't be bothered to sift through all these pages, but, is op really talking about an athlete drinking chocolate milk on the sidelines or is this a thread delivering shots @ Melos weight? In any case, if melo is drinking milk on the sidelines it's probably a strictly supervised formula similar to a protein shake doing everything that gatorade would do. Gatorade electrolytes are commercial bs anyway dont believe the hype.
Regarding Melo's weight I don't think he is fat? Is it possible that his round face and broad shoulder make *******s like the op's dick soft because they think they're fat?? Hmmm

[LiLharvard]

There have been studies conducted where top cyclists are asked to ride an exercise bike until exhaustion, then given either water, Gatorade or chocolate milk. They're then asked to start riding again.

The best drink, they've found, is chocolate milk. It's terrific for muscle repair and endurance.

You are up in here acting like Melo can't lead a team to a title just as you did with Dirk. Your basketball prognostications are worthless.

I'm not even a fan of Melo but he does have the talent to win it all. I think he needs to be more trusting of whatever offense his coach is running but he does have the talent.

Last I checked, D12 is worth a billion times more than Melo ever was or will be. At this point, especially after the stinker of a season Melo just had, there isn't a GM in the league who would rather have Melo over Love, barring depth considerations at the forward positions.

Heard this about choc. milk, some people use it after lifting weights at the gym, it can't be a substitute for a protein shake as choc. milk doesn't have that many proteins in it as whey proteins but if you can't get that some people use choc. milk for muscle recovery.

It's not that he's fat, it's just that his muscles are not developed/ he doesn't lift weights so even with his (kind of) low body fat% he's going to appear to be a little fat

[DStebb716]

Just going out and buying some hersheys chocolate milk isn't really the greatest for your health or post workout (still better than A LOT of drinks), but what Melo is advertising is a muscle-building chocolate milk that both tastes good (actually, it might be a little chalky but probably still better than most) and is very good post workout. As someone pointed out, it is a great way to refuel and build muscle endurance. OP is a fatass.

[NewYorkNoPicks]

Find a post of mine where i said those words. I have never once said Melo is the best in the entire league.....unfortunately LeBron is.

Ive only said Melo is a top 10 player...which he is. And even the naysayers would admit that statement is debatable at the very least.

Lastly i do know about fitness i was a licensed personal trainer 7 years ago.

[NUPE_1911]

I actually drink milk / chocolate milk before and sometimes after workouts. Milk is generally a great and cheap way to increase protein consumption for people who hit the gym a lot.

Chocolate milk does have a good amount of sugar, however, if you are highly active then it really is not a problem.

Also, Melo is not remotely fat and is actually thin in the commercial. Melo is probably in better physical shape then some of the players you guys claim are superior to him.

This thread is absurd.

about 40-50 grams of sugar is actually good for you immediately after a workout as it helps bring more protein into the muscles. I don't know if i'd ever use the word "thin" to describe Melo either

First search result for regular chocolate milk workout



However, chocolate milk has a better combination of carbohydrate and protein and is more suitable for post exercise recovery. This makes it a better post-exercise drink.
Why Chocolate Milk?

Chocolate milk contains a larger amount of carbohydrates than regular milk, which makes is a superior recovery drink.

40-50 grams is abit too much of sugar. Especially if it's "industrial" sugar - rather eat an apple or banana, fructose is superior to saccharose. Milk contains milk sugar(lactose) itself as a carbohydrate if you need energy(doesn't raise blood flow as saccharose or fructose do though).
Usually 250ml of chocolate milk here contain 6-10g of sugar which is suitable for your daily sugar income if you do sports.

On a nonactive day you shouldn't consume table sugar at all.

As said whey drinks are far superior to milk and chocolate milk if you're working out or do sports. They contain all the good stuff without getting the negatives of chocolated milk or milk.

Some people say you should use the sugar in a 2:1 ratio, in this case that would mean 120g of sugar with 60g of whey but I didn't like that, too sweet.

[bmd]

A truly horrific statement, sugar is one of the worse things you can put in your body, especially in mass amounts.No it isn't. As an athlete who lifts all the time, it has been known for years that an insulin spike after a workout is GOOD.

It is common for athletes to add to maltodextrin to their protein shake after a workout.

There is a whole bunch of science behind it.

Do some research.

umm...no.

Soft? Really? Melo is actually one of the more physical players in the league (do note that physical =/= athletic), and in regards to boards, he is a good rebounder.
I would consider Melo soft for both offense and defense. He bangs on the boards a lot for offensive rebounds but he settles for way too many jump shots especially for a player that is supposedly as skilled as he is down in the post and in the low block.

[ClutchOver9000]

He is soft defensively.

point taken but 'soft' isn't what comes to my mind regarding this. He's just been a subpar defender throughout his career

My def of 'soft' happens to be "lacking, shying away, or refusing physicality/contact". Melo does not fit those criteria IMO

[StateOfMind12]

wonder if you think KD/Kobe are soft too?
They both actually take it to the whole and slash to the basket more than Melo does and you can compare by checking out how many times those two get to the FT line compared to Melo.

I've always found it funny that people considered Durant a soft player that only scores off of jump shots when he is actually one of the best slashers and finishers in the league. It just shows me who watches Durant often and who doesn't.

No shit they get to the tin more often, they're more athletic than Melo with better ball-handling. They're perimeter-based jump-shooters with above average slashing ability. Melo is a jump shooter who likes to rely on his size/frame to bully defenders in the block as a second resort.

Kobe and Melo both would rather take difficult "hero" jumpshots instead of using their post up skills.

But despite the fact that both KD and Kobe attack the rim more often than Melo, you can't deny that both settle for jumpers more often than most would like (well Durant makes most of his so its usually not a big deal at all but definitly Kobe). BTW since you brought it up, out of all the star guards, swingmen, and forwards Melo is arguably the best at banging the boards on offense.

And if you're gonna label Melo soft offensively, than KD is a pillowcase by routinely allowing guards like J-Kidd to bully him off of his sweet spots during games.

Kobe is 4th, Durant 5th, Melo SEVENTH. Is there a huge dropoff over 5? Or did you basically just make shit up and hope it would stick?

You are so full of shit on Melo it's not funny.

Let's reiterate. Per game, Melo who is terrible and never goes to the basket compared to Kobe/Durant, is SEVENTH in FT per game, just slighty under those two.

Try again.

[StateOfMind12]

Maybe I shouldn't have called Melo soft offensively but he definitely does have a problem with settling for jumpers and it's one of my biggest criticism of him.


Melo is a jump shooter who likes to rely on his size/frame to bully defenders in the block as a second resort.

His second resort should be jump shooting and his first resort should be to bully but it isn't which is a problem in my opinion.

I'm actually surprised that Melo is ranked 7th in the league when he shoots about a FT less than both Durant and Kobe. I thought that they were be a huge cluster of players that shoot between but I guess not.

Either way, Melo clearly settles for jumpers than both of them and he is obviously worse than both of them at shooting, well maybe not Kobe anymore, but definitely worse than Durant.

Note to the people on this board, Melo does not SUCK. Stop being ****ing retards. I get you don't like him, i get if you call him selfish. But you are trying to paint him as a terrible player. He's quite possibly the best scorer in the league, if not best, 2nd, 3rd. That's not someone who sucks. And in the 2nd half of the season (check it out) he was not only scoring, he was shooting a high pct, rebounding and passing well AND defending well.

You don't have to like him, but if you say he sucks you are either not a knowledgable NBA fan or just someone who is acting like a jealous female.

As much as i ever criticized Lebron for somethign he said, etc. (an example of a player i do not like), i never made up bad facts about his game. You are straight up females how you are acting all catty.

[ClutchOver9000]

Kobe is 4th, Durant 5th, Melo SEVENTH. Is there a huge dropoff over 5? Or did you basically just make shit up and hope it would stick?

You are so full of shit on Melo it's not funny.

Let's reiterate. Per game, Melo who is terrible and never goes to the basket compared to Kobe/Durant, is SEVENTH in FT per game, just slighty under those two.

Try again.

:lol i didnt even know it was that close...makes it even funnier.

Melo is only 7th in the league in FT attempts??? Dude must live behind the 3 pt line.

lol....the Melohate is as amusing as ever...

[niko]

Maybe I shouldn't have called Melo soft offensively but he definitely does have a problem with settling for jumpers and it's one of my biggest criticism of him.


His second resort should be jump shooting and his first resort should be to bully but it isn't which is a problem in my opinion.


I'm actually surprised that Melo is ranked 7th in the league when he shoots about a FT less than both Durant and Kobe. I thought they were be a huge cluster of players that shoot between but I guess not.

Either way, Melo clearly settles for jumpers than both of them and he is obviously worse than both of them at shooting, well maybe not Kobe anymore, but definitely worse than Durant.

You don't get to stay that, you don't get to make up a bad stat on Melo, and then say "well im right anyway". NO. Your point was wrong and you pulled it from your ass.

Melo's problem is sticky hands. Not living on the perimeter. He goes to the hoop, he posts up. His problem is not passing it back out.

People on this board are literally making shit up now.

[niko]

This thread is ridiculous. We had the chocolate milk thing, which to mine (and others) surprise is a valid thing to do. Not only is the rest of the thread still making fun of the milk (ignoring every explaining post) but it basically just a thread where Melo is bashed, not for his real deficiencies, but for things people are just making up.

APologies to the NBA, but it's gay.

[StateOfMind12]

Your point was wrong and you pulled it from your ass.
Well he does get to the line less than both Durant and Kobe do which was my point so I believe my point still stands. I take back the soft comment but I do think he settles for jumpers frequently and far more than he should.

Melo does not suck but he is an underachiever and I do believe he is overrated (well not on ISH but to average fans and such). I don't think he is a franchise player either or could ever win a a title as the #1 on a team.

He is a top 5 talent in the league probably, maybe even top 2, and he was suppose to be Lebron's rival coming out of that 2003 draft but he was never good enough to rival Lebron. They were suppose to be the Bird-Magic of this era but it turns out that Durant will be Lebron's rival instead.

[FKAri]

Melo will be outta the league in 2 years. Let's see if he's starting by the end of the season.

Guy isnt NBA caliber. He should use the Olympics as a way to scout for new leagues.

Why can't people just say you are wrong? You said Melo doesn't get to the line, and not only does he, it's just under the two people you put as examples of players who get to the rim a lot.

Your point was Melo gets to the line just a tiny bit less than Kobe, thus he never gets there? Seriously? :lol

People on this board can't admit they were wrong - everyone knows everything.

[StateOfMind12]

Why can't people just say you are wrong?
I was wrong for calling him soft but I am not wrong that he gets to the line less than both Kobe and KD.


Your point was Melo gets to the line just a tiny bit less than Kobe, thus he never gets there? Seriously? :lol
I don't believe I ever said he never gets to the line. I believe I just said he gets there less than those two did.


They both actually take it to the whole and slash to the basket more than Melo does and you can compare by checking out how many times those two get to the FT line compared to Melo.


was what I said... Maybe you interpreted it incorrectly.

[niko]

If FT's is the measure, then they are only marginally better. I believe you also said people don't realize Durant goes to the rack so much because of the FT attempts. Perhaps you just don't realize Melo goes to the rack so much?

Not only are you wrong, you won't even admit it. NO NO, THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT. :no:

I'm done with you on this, it's not an admirable quality that you are ragging on Melo when you clearly don't watch him that much.

Actually I liked when RocketsGreatness would rip on Dwight Howard.

It was pretty funny back then and his criticisms were valid.

His efforts to be Melo's biggest hater now that LeBron has won a Title is getting annoying. We haven't even hit the season yet and the gimmick has run its course. Can you imagine the reaction when Melo actually has a "bad" game or 2? For a guy who most of ISH argues to the death isn't a Top 10 player in the NBA, you'd think people viewed him as a Top 3 player the way his game gets over-analyzed.

Keep telling yourself bullshit over and over again till you believe it. thats apparently the plan for you....so just like the out of wedlock child you fathered, deny, deny.... deny.

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
I have been defending Melo lately because he's getting too much hate, but he has NO case for best or 2nd best scorer in the league, much less his own position. He doesn't sniff the level of Durant and LeBron scoring wise.

[Mach_3]

I see, yeah lifting is a total different case of nutrition from playing ball or doing cardio/conditioning. Got no clue on that.

No biggie. :cheers: But your right it really is. nutrition for basketball is all about getting energy back to your cells, while lifting (after a lift) is mostly about feeding them to get them to grow larger

The best part is him pretending to be a LeBron fan after he was the biggest LeBron hater ever on his ThaSwagg3r account :roll:
