What happen to carmelo Anthony

[juju151111]

Melo is not the same since 2 years ago..He has gotten fatter,slower, and less athlethic the last few years.He used to could finish around the basket and know he just gets blocked in every gm.Wat happen to the melo of 06 who could actually drive pass people,hit game winners, and get the best of LJ.All he does now for denver is stay around the midrange area and shoots jumpers.
watch this video and compare him to 08 melo

I've also noticed the change in Melo. No one can say but those who know him, as to the cause. As an observer, there is a difference in play.

He is putting on weight to move to the 4 so Kleiza can start at 3...

LOL did u actually watch Denver??All he does is stay and take midrange shots which doesn't cut it in playoffs.05 to early 07 was carmelo best athlethic prime.He plays like a slow powerfoward in the paint now. He has put on weight since that season.

Just look at his face and body in 06 and compare to him now.I have no clue why he didn't keep his weight steady.He was improving every season and this also hurt his defense because he guards the sf position.

He hasn't improved on defense and leadership.

He has the talent to lead his team to the Finals, but he hasn't mentally put it together.

Melo isn't fat, chubby or overweight. Somebody post that link of Melo doing intense workouts.

melo may not be what u clasify fat, but he needs to lose couple of lbs to be more quick, faster, and harder to guard. w/e he still missing heart and passion. the mind isnt there yet.

[JellyBean]

Nothing. The brother is still deadly has ever. I look at it this way; Melo is expanding is game.

You're right about one thing. Melo has put on a little weight and it's definetly noticeable, but to say that "all he does now is stay and take midrange shots" is not true. He still does all of what you mentioned in your 1st post {minus game winning shots} you probably just don't see it as much. With Melo, I see improvements in his game every year, except it's only one-sided. The real problem with Melo isn't his offense, but rather his defense and while players in his class like LeBron & Wade have evolved their all around game, Melo hasn't done so and I think that's what you're really noticing about him.

You can put some blame on the coach for that one. George Karl definetly gives his players way too much freedom. Infact, Melo isn't the only player who's put on some weight, guys like Andre Miller and Nene in the past have always shown up overweight to camp. To bad Karl isn't like Pat Riley, who actually disciplines his players into shape.
