  1. Melo saying that because he knows he wouldve been retiring and Pels have wings that would play over him. He didnt need to go out with them. Respectfully. He felt it was right to walk now. Melo not shady like ppl want to write him as.

    He also wanted to be close to his son.

  2. The Pelicans should've got him instead of Portland. Zion's career would greatly benefit from some Melo moves.

  3. He should went for no other reason then to get to 29K he deserve to reach goal at the least. He definitely wudve hit 30k if the nba didn’t allow him to push out for a few seasons.

  4. People that are going to hate have never and will never make it to the NBA. That man was blessed to take care of his mother and family by having the talent to be a professional athlete. There's so many men struggling to provide for their families that will never play pro sports. Don't hate the people that make it.

  5. On God's WHAT Earth? That was typo in the caption cause THAT ain't what Melo said! You ain't say God's Green Earth. Stumbling over his words and all. 😭 Jk witchu Melo. Goat always, fa show.

  6. I just want him to get to the number 8 all time scoring so he could’ve stayed in the top 10 for a long time

  7. This man's biggest mistake… he should have left for Portland earlier in his career when they were calling back in 2016ish and were truly superstar away…. instead he wanted to be loyal to the hapless knicks

  8. I would love seeing Melo get with a team that really has a shot at winning. I always felt the modern NBA would have been perfect for Melo style of play — timing was just off — never happened. And I still say Melo & Knicks got robbed in 2013 Playoffs refs & whining A$$ Pacers!

  9. The only reason he's not in the league is because they want Bron to be the only one with 21 years in and the oldest sad

  10. He would’ve at least been a good fit for the Warriors or the Sixers seeing how Andrew Wiggins is playing, or how the sixers could’ve used an extra scoring option off the bench 😂
