Carmelo though he was in the finals.

[LA_Showtime]

... I thought Durant broke Marbury's record a couple years ago. What the **** was I smoking to think that.............?

[bagelred]

Trying to find a box score for olympic basketball is worse than trying to find FILL IN ANALOGY HERE.

How many points did have?

That was Fiba World and he broke Carmelo's Fiba record. Durant's first time on Olympic squad is this year

This literally mirrors Jordan, with the reflection side and all

[upside24]

Amazing game by Melo. I don't care if the defense was poor and the shots were wide open 10/12 from even international line is incredible. IIRC he hit 5 consecutively with 4 on back to back posessions. Melo is truely on of the most gifted offensively players in the L despite his previous subpar season.

[inclinerator]

those are just long mid range

[NuggetsFan]

13\16 and 10\12 from 3? :eek: .. that's craazy.

[DuMa]

Since the Olympics started Carmelo Anthony is shooting 75% from the 3-point line

[ihoopallday]

Damn that's amazing. Have the game on DVR so I'll watch it later. Commentators always say Melo is perfect for international basketball. Guess they were right.

[ClutchOver9000]

Melo was made for international play...holy shit was he on fire in that game

Dude had the Midas touch today, his shot was pure gold. And was it really only 14 min? Unreal...

[It's A VC3!!!]

37 points in 14 minutes.

FOURTEEN MINUTES IT TOOK MELO TO SCORE 37
One of the best scorers the game has ever seen.
I didn't watch the game but 37 points in 14 minutes is insane. That's basically one quarter in NBA play.:eek:

Well he does hold the NBA record for most points scored in a quarter: 33

[Chrono90]

one word for melo's career that sums up why he has talent but not kobe/lebron/durant level...

inconsistent

Still an overpaid shotjacker, won't ever lead a team past the first round.

Would much prefer to have K Love!

Oh wait, my username doesn't say Stallionare. . .

[Scoooter]

Are they changing the FIBA rules to match the NBA rules, or the NBA rules to match the FIBA rules? I'd assume the former, but I remember hearing about the European "live cylinder" rule possibly making it's way stateside.

[dunksby]

Only fitting that he broke Marbury's record :lol

Or: he has played for the Nuggets and Knicks..........had he started / ended up, somewhere else, he could could have won several rings....having talent around him

MJ tribute.
I love this. Paying tribute to the GOAT. A lot of people will criticize him for doing this against inferior opponents when Jordan did it in the Finals against a great Blazers team but I love it. I was a huge fan of Melo in his Nuggets days not as much after going to the Knicks. I hope Melo gets it together this year. Such a phenomenal scorer.

I don't know why people hate bagelred.

I just recently realized his SN is a super deep metaphor for the holocaust. DO THE KNOWLEDGE.
