This shyt is sounding like exactly what I hoped for. Max been good for destroying cliche, overly emotional arguments since his days on ATH. I DVR'd todays episode and I might actually start watching again just to see the contrast between his keeping it 100% and speaking from a place knowledge and/or logic vs. Steven's A's extraness.

Is this fakkit really saying that Melo's advocacy doesnt mean as much as Lebron or Wade because he hasnt won a championship? :comeon:

He has a point, that It won't be received as well due to his lack of winning. When you have won championships and are more popular figures advocacy will be more poignant coming from you.

Not to the people you are advocating for. And the people who you are trying to reach don't equate athletic achievement of ANY player as a reason to change things. ie, The racist muthafukkas they were talking to dont give a fukk about Lebron anymore than they do Melo. This isnt advertising.

And lets be honest, there isnt a single person in the world that knows who Wade and Lebron is that doesnt know who Carmelo is as well.

Thats a lie. There are plenty of people that don't know who Carmelo is but know who Bron is. Bro is in a whole other stratosphere of popularity and influence. The point is the people you are advocating for and the people you want to bring awareness to this situation will more likely hear the message or the impact will be greater from a more prominent figure.
