Petty maneuver to erase Melo’s accomplishments. – Stephen A. rips Nuggets for giving No. 15 to Jokic

Objective in what I see and what I say and what I call out it is who I am I am not changing but I’ll never be personal let me get to my basketall stuff right here because I was recently listening to Carmelo Anthony Melo as we all love to

Call him on the 7 PM in Brooklyn podcast with Carmelo Anthony and kid Mero I I don’t even know where I need to start when it comes to going through this Carmelo Anthony was reminiscing about his days with the Denver Nuggets and Carmelo Anthony felt the

Need to bring up joic as in Nico yic as in a two-time league MVP and a reigning defending NBA champion Nico yic Camelo Anthony brought him up because there was some issue with yic uh getting the jersey number 15 which is the same number Carmelo Anthony wore during his

Tenure um in the M high city uh drafted in 2003 was in Denver until the 2010 2011 season when he forced his way out of Denver to go to the New York Knicks this is what Carmelo Anthony had to say as it pertain to his thoughts about Nicole yic being given

The number 15 the we I hate doing stuff like this but we’ve got to be factual to some degree anyway because Carmello brought up something that simply makes no sense to me I want everybody to understand that a legitimate argument could be made that in 2003 it shouldn’t have been

LeBron James who was Rookie of the Year it should have been Carmelo Anthony Caramelo Anthony was balling and Denver was winning and Carmelo Anthony could have easily been Rookie of the Year that’s number one number two the Detroit Pistons although um it was understandable because they

Were a champ they were in rout to be a Championship uh team they had gone to six straight Conference Finals and back-to-back NBA finals and won a championship led by the uh Joe Dumas who’s now uh the VP of basketball operations for the NBA league office a legitimate obviously one of the

Blemishes on his career even though they already had taan prince in at Lina with rasid Wallace Ben Wallace Rip Hamilton Chanty Billups a legitimate argument could easily have been made that they should have drafted Carmelo Anthony biggest mistake the Detroit Pistons ever made they drafted Darko milic instead and they never recovered

Really um even though they won thereafter in the years in the immediate years following the bottom line is it was always held against Joe Dumas to some degree that he didn’t draft Carmelo Anthony but Carmelo Anthony making the assertion that he made about yic respectfully makes no sense Melo you

Know I love you bro my dog but come on man this makes no sense um first of all carelo Anthony departed in the 2010 2011 season Nico yic was drafted 41st overall the 11th pick of the second round in a 2014 NBA draft three years later so to me that argument makes no

Sense it almost sounded like Carmelo Anthony was saying yic got the uniform while he was still there for crying out loud which obviously makes no sense because if he was still there obviously yic wouldn’t have been able to get the number 15 but you’re basically acting as

If the Denver Nuggets owed you something I believe they would have you average 24.8 Point 6.3 rebounds you got to a Western Conference Finals with them I get that and I get what Carmelo Anthony is saying in defense of him when he went on all the smoke but my boys Matt Barnes

And stepen Jackson and he explained it by saying we go to the Western Conference Finals in ‘ 09 what are you supposed to do you’re supposed to build on that you’re supposed to add pieces Plug and Play Don’t Mess the core up they got rid of Dante Jones on that team

Dante was a key piece on that team get rid of Dante Jones they’re like we ain’t resigning chony we’re about to trade Jr as in JR Smith Kmart contract is up all right and the lockouts coming so I’m not about to rebuild I’m not going to rebuild after we done went to the

Western Conference Finals that’s what Carmelo Anthony echoed to justify forcing his way out of Denver going to the New York Knicks along with bip Sheldon Williams Anthony Carter and Ronaldo balkman uh and in replacement the Knicks sent Wilson Chandler Raymond Felton Danilo galinari Timothy mozgov a first round

Pick and a second and two second round picks to the Denver Nuggets fair enough I understand the explanation Carmelo my only rort to that is what does a team owe you if you forced your way off of their franchise now see when LeBron left LeBron fulfilled his contractual

Obligation and then turned around and departed from Miami took his talents to South Beach we all know this I broke that story in that story I also reported that it was supposed to be Carmelo Anthony who was in Miami with dwade and LeBron James not Chris Bosch but if y’all remember prior to

2007 or Le in 2007 whereas LeBron James Chris Bosch and dwade all signed contracts that gave them an out after three years which allowed them to be free agents in 2010 if you remember Carmelo Anthony was locked into a 5-year deal how would I know that cuz I

Interviewed Carmelo Anthony and when I asked him about being in a five-year deal he literally sat on my couch in my chair on my show quite frankly which was on ESPN 2 back from 2005 to 2007 carelo Anthony sat in the chair and thank you for that because he graced he graced me

With his presence was great great interview and when he sat down and he said that he said yo man I’m from Baltimore I’m from the streets I ain’t turning down five you know five years of guaranteed money that was his thinking D way Bosch and LeBron bet on themselves Le Carmelo rather locked

Himself into a five-year deal which means that in order to get out of Denver he had to force his way out and it had to occur via trade instead of free agency because he locked himself in by guaranteeing himself to five years so if you force your self out off of a team

Respectfully why should they want to retire your number why shouldn’t they want somebody else wearing the number why shouldn’t they want somebody help them kind of forget about you not because you wanten great because Carmelo Anthony is one of the prolific scorers this game has ever seen and oh

By the way whether you like it or not he’s a Hall of Famer cuz when you consider the national championship at Syracuse when you consider his Collegiate record and when you consider what a scoring machine he was for the better part of his NBA career and you combin his basketball resume being an

Olympic gold medalist as well I might add you take all of those things into consideration and the fact that the Hall of Fame is not an NBA Hall of Fame but a Basketball Hall of Fame Carmelo Anthony is going into the Hall of Fame Carmelo

Anthony is a Hall of Famer he is a Hall of Famer just get over it and by the way one of the best Brothers I know real as they come mellow is mellow but he’s a good dude his family his brother Justice and all them man please they know what love I

Got for them but I can’t knock the Denver Nuggets for putting the number 15 Jersey on somebody else they didn’t probably probably didn’t know how good nicoa yic was going to be because they certainly don’t regret it now and his number will be retired and his numbers will hang in those

Rafters but if they don’t want to forget if they don’t want to remember you Melo it’s because you forced your way out had you left as a free agent you come back one day that’s different but forcing your way out of the city regardless of what you articulated

Which were all valid points by the way you still forced your way out and when you force your way out they’re not supposed to honor you respect you yes honor you is different and I think that’s important to point out another story I want to get into is eeme udoka

Head coach for the Houston Rockets about to return to Boston for the first time since he was exiled from that city as head coach for the Celtics uh because of transgressions with an employee of the team um and that’s all we’re gonna say don’t know whether she was married or

Single or whatever it is and he wasn’t married but obviously he was in a relationship uh with neong and all of this other stuff and he’s returning to Boston for the first time I think Boston’s the best team in basketball despite the fact that they got smoked by Milwaukee last night means absolutely

Nothing to me because it was the second game of back-to-backs it was their fifth game in seven days they were tied and that’s why Missoula benched the starters for the entire second half okay it’s just that simple that won’t happen again but I will tell you

This I don’t care how good they look and I respect the head hell out of Joe Missoula as a coach he ain’t even a Oka eem May udoka is a hell of a coach and if you don’t believe me just go look at the Houston Rockets right now

You you understand that the Houston Rockets got a chance to make the playoffs that team that was as more abundance pathetic as it comes over the previous few years that team is vying for a playoff spot yes the Acquisitions of Dylan Brooks and Fred Van vet definitely

Helped Jaylen green and those boys they can play but emay udoka is the difference this man can coach and I’m telling you right now even though I expect Boston to win this year because Jason Tatum is a superstar and Jaylen Brown is a star and por Zing is a

7 foot three shooter and shot blocker is an added addition and commodity to them and they should be able to beat anyone outside of Denver it could come down to them against Denver bottom line is this I don’t care how good Missoula is and I con

Seeed he’s very good and the team is great e udoka is a sensational coach and it sickens me that he had to go through what he had to go through and I don’t think any decent Soul should ever forgive the Boston Celtics I shouldn’t say forgive because

Forgiveness is in the eye to hold but they should never for get what Boston did to him I’m G to say this and I say this again everybody say oh Stephen hey what are you talking about did no no no no no we ain’t legislating people’s relationships Neil Long’s relationship

With Oka is none of your business don’t have nothing to do with you you ain’t in their bedroom you ain’t hoing up and down with them ain’t got nothing to do with you nothing that’s their business here’s what’s our business the fact that the information was leaked

Out and this man was paraded all over the news the airwaves and the News wires that was wrong Boston Celtics fire him or keep him but what you don’t do is leave him dangling on an indefinite suspension have his assistant step in as the head

Coach and then oh by the way leak it out that his actions involved sexual relations with somebody that works within the organization because I know plenty of white dudes that have been screwing around in their places of business many I never heard any anything said about them I know of at least two

Individuals who were fired from NBA teams because of that no one knew they’re departing ways with the organization um undisclosed reasons or personal reasons they’re moving on and that’s all you heard but he may Oka his stuff was publicized to the point where he got to St sit on a Podium

Answering questions about his proclivities and his sex life and how he got to take his kid to therapy because of all that his kid has been through like that’s any of our business what a violation what a violation again I’m not condoning anything I’m simply saying that was none of our

Business that was none of our business now I ain’t the type of dude that would ever dime out anybody ever but I will say this if somebody white is having an extra marital Affair in the NBA with somebody in the office and it gets found out publicly then I’m not gonna mind because

I’ll think it’s fair my perfect world is we don’t know about that just like we shouldn’t have known about emay udoka but that ain’t what happened happen and that’s sad so I just wanted to say that I want to bring that up because that’s near dear to my heart because I’m so happy

For him and that he’s turning that Houston Rockets franchise around they gonna win the damn Championship this year we know that but at least they’re G to be respectable and I think they’re GNA be Ving for a playoff spot and I think this dude is a sensational coach

And I believe I believe without question without without question I believe if he was coaching the Celtics last year they would have been back in the finals I believe the Boston Celtics would have had a better chance of beating Denver than Miami did because they had more sides on them and

They had Jaylen they obviously they had Jason Tatum Jaylen Brown they had Derek white Marcus Smart at the time and now they got Drew holiday with Derek white with porzingis with Tatum Whit Brown they got size and people keep underestimating Denver’s size Denver’s a big

Team they’re a big team what you got to have to beat them you got to have size you got to have perimeter play you have to have an elite defense and you have to have star power Boston has it all if anybody can Dethrone the Denver Nuggets it is the Boston

Celtics that is true as long as they ain’t jacking up 63s a game but in spite of all of that here’s the reality I wish I could be talking about the Lakers that way I can’t Tower is under attack Tower Tower is under attack come on Tower attack attack I’ll give you a

Head first BL blood sacrifice defeated an enemy ultimate can you feel world over legary inevitability let’s TR Legary double kill your team has destroyed the tower calling our Middle Lane Tower is under attack turn off the lights inil an enemy has been defeated Tower is under attack
