No team will EVER win a championship with Carmelo Anthony

[atljonesbro]

It's just a fact of life. He's a low IQ chucker and a black hole to every offense in the NBA. The only teams he fits in well on are bad teams with no offense that will suck anyways.

[MetsPackers]

The sad thing is I agree with that statement. He's not a black hole and he could probably win a championship with a superior 1st option big man, but with the money and touches he demands that could never happen and he'll never be able to singlehandedly lead a team to a title. Knicks should have waited for a better superstar to come along instead of jumping on Melo to be "good" now

hes the best we will get for this 5 year span

hoping we can land irving in 2 years when we empty the books in a year

[JimmyMcAdocious]

False.

He will end up being 35 ring chasing on Andrew Wiggins team as a 6th man and they will win a ring.

Only way is if one of his teams got hot 11 Mavs style and even then it's shaky.

Melo can't drive or finish against legit defenses. Every team he's ever been on has followed his jumpshooting style and that never wins.

This generations Dominique Wilkins. They are basically the same player. Carmelo has a better jumper, Wilkins was more athletic, both were one dimensional scoring machines who didn't have much success in the playoffs.

everyone should keep in mind that only 1 team wins the championship every year so there can be a bunch of threads about how so and so can never win a championship

[Real Men Wear Green]

NY's biggest problem isn't Melo, it's that STAT's contract is dead money. They need a coach that can/will force Melo to pass and play better D (may be possible) and a way to turn STAT's contract into something productive (may not be possible). As much dead money as STAT's deal is they may have to blow the team up if they're completely focused on rings but if they are ok with winning a series or two they can keep the current roster with little tweaks here and there for another five years. Just don't talk about contention.

Ya, he'll never win anything. At least he has a consolation prize of a lifetime supply of honeynut cheerios.

[Noyze]

The weird thing about Melo, he's got Clyde Drexler syndrome or something. He puts his head down before every drive to the basket and jumpshot. He didn't use to do this, if you watch his HS tapes and college he kept his head up. Now it's tunnel vision.

[bdreason]

People said the same shit about Dirk a couple years back.

It's a team game, and Melo ends up on the right team, he can win a chip.

[jimmy77x]

This has "A dirk led team will never win a championship" written all over it.

[D-Wade316]

Only that Dirk is something Marshmelo will never be even before '11.

[Lebron23]

Melo is only 28 yrs.old. He might win an NBA title someday as a 2nd scoring option. The Knicks needs to trade Amare, or amnesty him.
