Kiyan got next?

 

[651akathepaul]

Assuming we get sweeps on both sides, they don't move up the dates of the Finals, do they?

Both teams about to get over a week of rest.

Amare had more impact on the Knicks and Knicks culture than melo did

The Knicks better retire it cause the Nuggets can't.

Numbers can be retired more than once. Knicks did it with 15. Portland with 30

 

[pmatic]

Just looked it up to confirm, and yes the pick that became Jamal Murray was from the Carmelo Anthony trade with the Knicks.

 

[antidope]

Numbers can be retired more than once. Knicks did it with 15 too.

Moreso that it would be a big slight to Jokic to share this with Melo. He's the best Nugget ever. It's his number and his alone now.

I believe this statement to be true.

Himmy and Bam = Kobe and Shaq?

Yes.

And some dudes told me to slow down when I said brunson a better knick than melo ever was.

Not such a hot take now.

Melo could never.

Dudes really can't help talking down on the man on his retirement day , par for the thread I suppose though

 

[executive76]

No on both accounts.

Jokic should be standing next to him at the ceremony.

Number shouldn't have been available anyway but it is what it is.

 

[Mister Meaner]

No one has worn #7 since he was traded away so it seems like there are some plans to retire it.

[SAS]BUT![/SAS]

Are we really retiring a jersey for a six year stretch of only one 50 win season, three playoff appearances, and one series win?

Knicks haven’t won anything of note in 50 odd szns. They didn’t part on bad terms Melo & Dolan so that was probably a clause in the contract now that I think about it or at the least a show of respect and gratitude.

He did a lot of things wrong that guy Melo but he gave us a first ballot HoFer who’s number is going into the rafters.

 

[8pm at msg]

I got on Melo a lot during his Knicks tenure but he was willing to carry the weight of the franchise on his shoulders, I appreciate him for that.

He was my favorite in the league during his time in Denver. Shame he couldn't accomplish more in NY.

 

[niceshoes247]

Meló

 

[Mister Meaner]

Yes.

And some dudes told me to slow down when I said brunson a better knick than melo ever was.

Not such a hot take now.

Melo could never.

Yea, wdgaf

 

[TSCQ]

Melo made Lin who he is today.
Linsanity was something else.

 

[WASHED KING]

Melo is a HOF'er first ballot.

Bron, Wade, Melo, Bosh.

Amazing draft class

Legend

He had 13 boards that game. This is legit funny to you guys?

 

[WASPS ANDD ASPS]

If Denver wins the chip Melo should get a ring too.

Vlatko Cancar should give his ring to Allen Iverson.

When they stop using light blue jerseys?

 

[703 hwy]

Today is a very sad day for me and storm2006 we’ve gone back and forth countless times about whether or not Carmelo is a HOFer. For the record he is not.

Personally, I feel like we should start Melo’s retirement once he joined the Knicks. At that point the writing was on the wall.

Who said it's funny?

Just one of my fav All-Time statlines

 

[clyde the glide]

Amares main impact on the knicks was killing our cap space. A half season of stellar play on a middle of the pack team was not worth it
