That's been the reason Carmelo has failed the last several seasons. He refuses to take a step back thinking he's better than he actually is.

Melo is a great player, they said.

Melo will age so much better than LeBron, they said.

[scuzzy]

by now Melo is probably on the brink of a retirement body with the games he missed last year


no way he's remained conditioned

[oh the horror]

who is billups talking about? jordan?

This just shows what kind of player Melo was. Chauncey said Melo would get mad if he scored under 30 points even if it was in a win. He always cared too much about his numbers and being "The Star", that's why he's having such a hard time taking a step back. He needs to realize that he's no longer capable of being a star. No wonder he's no longer in the league.

Caring too much about his points is the single reason why he isn't having the opportunity to score again.

This was said from the outset of his career and it proved to be true. However, GR on steroids was really ****in good for about 12 years...it just ended with a cliff. It sucks he's ending up a joke, just like D. Howard, when he should really get his due credit for being a significant force for many years, personality flaws aside.

Good the guys in China aren't even bench players

Yeah he F’ed up, can’t come back now. Just call it a career, at least he got Syracuse that chip as a freshman something for him to put his head high lol

[Patrick Chewing]

Never liked him on the Knicks. Was never a leader and was always more interested in the stats versus the win. The sad thing is I don

[iamgine]

Perhaps this mentality was why he's such a great scorer in the first place. Double edged sword.

this is the part where a lesbian says she's bisexual believing it'll give her the same power as a straight girl only it doesn't, because when a lesbian can no longer measure population, she can also no longer spot out the most impactful player, as pain no longer transfers homogeneous property.
