Imma take a wild wild guess and assume that is lebron giving words of wisdom in the bench.

What else could it be?

[HunterSThompson]

he joined LeJose Canjameso

Honestly there is something incomparably inspiring about sharing a locker room with LeLeader, and being graced with the presence of his exposed manhood. The size, the aesthetic... the vascularity. Melo has obviously been infused with the power that drips forth from it.

Anthony Davis is the reason why. Lebron with Melo won 2 bronze medals for America.

rumours say he has been receiving Lebron's Secret Sauce(tm) via injection straight from the source.

I think Carmelo is doing well this year for the same reason that KD did well when he went to the Warriors. He doesn't have the pressure literally and figuratively since he is (when all are healthy) at least the fourth option. Anything they get from him is gravy. When everyone else is more concerned about LBJ, AD or RW (even when one of them isn't in the lineup), he gets a lot of wide open looks and can take 'his shots' instead of being looked to for manufacturing baskets when teams are focusing on him.

And I have to give Carmelo himself credit where it's due. He does seem inspired and happy to be here. He's made some key defensive plays too. I was ready to stick a fork in him two years ago. All I can say is I was most certainly wrong about that.

No excuses.

[DCL]

his game is completely different now. you're not seeing jab steps nor foot work because he doesn't need to anymore. no more trying to create space with all his tricks and go one-on-one. he's basically transformed into a quiet camper... just quietly camp outside and wait for the pass and shoot. most defenders aren't even close when he catches the rock. and he's killing them because those are freebies for him. it's almost like gym work for him when he has so much room.

I was hoping to see this performance in the playoffs. Hope we don't burn all of our good will early in the season. Even though his 3-point percentage is not sustainable, if he can be well above average, he will have more than done his job.

Save a few clutch 3's for the playoffs 'Melo.

[RRR3]

LeGenius told him to stop playing like an idiot and stand in the corner and shoot 3s so he’ll actually be useful.
