Who has called Carmelo the toughest defender?
Even if they have that narrative is far from accurate...
NCAA Title? Who cares?
Ruined the NBA?
F*ck George Karl and his
remarks and the fact he's publishing a book airing things out but nikkas have to be lying if there isn't some truth to his comments about Melo's lack of defense, desire of the spotlight, on and off the court issues early in his career.
Melo's career would have been much different had he been drafted by Detroit.
Breh,....
We all played ball and if you get in a situation where you are the best player surrounded by fodder as far as players and a coach.
You will do the same thing Melo was on in Denver.
Like real talk, Melo got them to the offs as far as he could.
He was never besting the Lakers because of coaching and he was never beating anyone else in that era because of roster and coaching.
as Denver was to small and also undermanned as far as of size interior based players.
So, Karl over achieved with Melo.
Like real talk,...if you watched the international games Karl coached and you are a superstar player.
Are you listening to him after that, like for real,...will you.
If you say yeah,...i know you a lie and never lead a team in scoring and been that guy.
In hoops you ain't got to be a prisoner to no fukk'n coach and you are an undeniable superstar.
It is obvious in legacy and simple eye test Karl did not know how to get past anyone who was pedigreed as a coach in the offs for a title.
So, Karl as a coach over achieved with Melo and his critique was bogus.
Karl is offkey and out of touch with severe disconnect and real talk.
It is his fault he had issues with those players.
How do you expect a 18, 19, 20 year old to act.
He sounds like a parent who is having issues.
who does not realize you have to connect and that is your job.
Not the job of the player.
The player is supposed to be the one connected to by the coach.
If you coach and don't create a rubrick to connect to your players that is your fault.
