Michael Jordan Tutored Melo Over a Weekend

[Legends66NBA7]

SMH @ people thinking there's some 'secret tricks' MJ can teach other superstar scorers. Sure he'll have some advice here and there but it's not gonna be no groundbreaking/mindblowing stuff.

Thanks for the hyperbole that seems to come out on the majority of your posts concerning Jordan.

Exactly. Infact, if anyone actually pays attention, Melo is not doing anything differently on the offensive end. He's doing what he always does, just making shots. He's hot as hell right now, that's just it.

Lol Melo is Jordan's pawn to take down LeBron.

Jordan planting seeds.

LOL that's what I was thinking.

MJ used Kobe as a pawn against LeBron in the All Star Game, too. Told him the defensive strategy, and put the cuffs on him.

MJ must feel the heat of Bron being the greatest threat to his legacy. And since he can't compete himself against him, others are going to have to do his work for him.

Love how these mindblowing advice still didn't keep Bobcats from being the worst team in the NBA for years now.

Thats how mentally tough jordan is. He roots for underdogs unlike that wannabe king

"Exactly..." Shut the hell up you mindless fanboi.

Maybe because LeBron is a threat to him?

Via Stephen A Smith show

Jordan invited Melo to his house over a weekend not too long ago. At 3am one morning Jordan wakes up, gets Melo and takes him to the basketball court; there Melo was taught a few moves and tricks of the trade by Jordan, information Melo will apparently "never reveal to anyone". According to Melo it has made him that much more unstoppable on the offensive side of the game. Melo feels now after Jordan's tutelage that if he misses shots its on himself and not because of some error hes made in executing a move.

Many thanks to MJ for taking Melo under his wing briefly

what does bolded even mean?

Here comes the hate.

the hate arrived about 13 mins prior

Additionally dipshit, unless youre hitting 100% of your 3's or getting bullshit foul calls where you shoot 20 free throws a game like Durant you cant score 50, 41, 40, 36, 36 points like Carmelo is doing without taking a good amount of shots.

Oh and Melo has shot 60% and over 50% in the majority of those games, so what kind of knock is shooting alot if youre making close to 60%? efficiency is efficiency.

See you in the playoffs ph@ggot. In the mean time go sip on some "Clam Chowdah" and hope "Gahhnett" can get healthy so theres no excuses when NY sends Boston home.

so salty

also, is there any other source, aside from stephen a smith?

MJ woke up melo at 3 am? What, were they sleeping in the same bed or something?

[diamenz]

how is lebron a threat to mj? lebron's a beast, but his offensive game is so simple and linear there's just no comparison.

there's statistical similarities, but other than that all you have to do is have watched both play and know.

mj chose melo because he's the least jackass-y of the superstars of today.

A. MJ has tutored and aided many players during the years. Melo hasn't been the first and won't be the last. And YES that includes his own Bobcat players.

B. Melo and MJ have been close since Melo's rookie year, do people forget that he's signed to Jordan Brand?

C. In regards to the advice MJ gave him. I think somebody posted a link where Melo talked about this. It doesn't necessarily have to be some secret shit, but insight as to how to read the defense, how to execute better such as footwork, balance etc.etc.

D. For those saying that Kobe stans are mad

You see what happened when Kobe used MJ's pointers on how to defend Lebron.
