The Denver nuggets will eventually retire number 15 and it won’t be Melo on the back

[intruder]

This IG post yesterday made me realize this.

• Some think that number should have never been available for Jokic to get in the first place? Like the Nuggets should have taken it out of circulation in anticipation of retiring it for Melo
• Or do the Nuggets owe Melo nothing since he never won anything there especially with the way he forced his way out of town?

So what’s your take?

Edit: Look clown. In no way am I comparing Melo to Jokic. Both are stars but shyt aint even close in relity.

And If you been on the Coli long enough you know I’m one of the biggest Melo haters out there. Probably THE biggest hater according to Knicks fans Hell im not sure i'd take Melo overPaul George let alone freakin Jokic.

And I’m a big Jokic fan myself and his number should definitely be retired. Reread the above and set your emotions aside and you’ll get what I’m trying to say

Jokic >>>>> Melo. Jokic brought a title to Denver and is just plain better than Melo.
Giannis took Ray Allen's Bucks' Jersey number too and I guarantee you it will be retired under Giannis name for the exact reason Nuggets #15 will be under Jokic.

Jokic>>>>

They'll retire both. Not an issue long term.

This shouldn’t even be a thread lmao

Jokic is the best player in nuggets history and already had a way better career than melo

Winning a title isn’t a prerequisite of getting your number retired. They should put both their names on the back. Melo brought that franchise from the dead in 03 made them relevant again. You absolutely retire the numbers for players like that.

the number never shoulda been available

Melo didn't leave the Nuggets on the best of terms to begin with.

Losing to the Lakers in the WCF was his high water mark as a Nugget.

Denver is under no obligation to honor Melo in any capacity IMO

Why would they ever retire Melos number?

 

[mastermind]

Knicks will retire Melo’s number before Denver does

Nuggets could honor Melo tho

Why would they ever retire Melos number?

He was special for the Nuggets

this topic might’ve been “controversial” and worth discussing about 2-3 seasons ago

as a matter of fact I’m pretty sure this was a big thread topic 2-3 seasons ago

This would be like Atlanta retiring Trae Young number .
