Knicks legend wants jersey retired following Hall of Fame election

[qnsfinest]

Carmelo and KD have similar careers...

Stupidest comparison i ever seen. Even if you remove the rings and fmvps

11 all nba (should be more like 15+)- 5 more than melo
15 all star- 5 than melo
MVP
4 time scoring champ
Finals run
Multiple deep playoff runs

Kd is a legit top 15-20 all time. Melo is top 75

this dude is NOT getting his jersey retired by the nuggets. he should be happy the knicks will do it regardless.

 

[beenz]

I wouldn’t say nothing…. but fans act like if their squad doesn’t win a championship then the season wasn’t a success.. which is stupid.. Melo shouldn’t have went to NY if they were gonna gut the team like that. He should have waited another year

he was so thirsty to get out, he had to leave denver midseason instead of waiting til the summer. I knew at the time that was stupid, and he played himself in the end.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

It won’t happen in Denver but it’s for sure going to happen with the Knicks. Melo wants it but most importantly Dolan wants it

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Melo just made a mess of his career

He should’ve signed with Heat instead of bein an analog ass nikka and takin that Denver extension

He fukked up his legacy

 

[CarltonJunior]

NOW nikkaS REWRITING HISTORY.

STAT MADE NYC RELEVANT AGAIN.

MELO SAW WHAT HE WAS DOING
AND JUMPED ON THE BANDWAGON.

IF STAT DIDNT SIGN THERE
AND GET shyt POPPING
MELO WOULD HAVE NEVER FORCED
A TRADE THERE.

You are actually right, STAT made them competitive again, that was a fun team.

But the mainstream/culture didn't catch on til Melo got there, which is what I'm talking about.

It’s The Knicks…what is there to catch on to?

 

[KFBF]

Delusional.

 

[Derek Lee]

11 first round exits.

Carmelo's Syracuse title > KD's finals run

They gave his number to a random second round pick

Anthony Randolph’s number

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Folks have accomplished much less and have had their numbers retired.

This idea that you have to win a championship to get your number retired is bullshyt

Knicks need to retire Carmelo and Bernard King’s numbers hands down two of the best players in franchise history

Low key King's should’ve been retired.

 

[CP3.]

Don't worry Melo, #15 will definitely be retired in Denver

 

[VBM]

I think he deserves it, when he got traded there he brought a spark back to the Knicks for a while.

Might as well retire Jeremy Lin's jersey too then while we're at it.
