People think I am hard on Carmelo, but the reason is because he is such a gifted player you expect more out of him than 8 1st round playoff exits in 9 years.
Out of those 8 1st round exits, he only made it past Game 5 once.
There were more than a few people who thought he would be a better player than Lebron James out of that 2003 Draft Class.
Rightfully so, Melo had just carried Syracuse to a National Championship while Bron was still in High School. While neither has rings, Lebron has become the superior player.
Carmelo Anthony is at a crossroads. He whined his way out of Denver and strong armed a trade to the Knicks to the DA MAN.
When you are the DA MAN, you can’t blame others. You are the leader and you are responsible win or lose. His team, not Amar’e, not Lin, not JR Brick’s team need to step it up because just getting to the playoffs is not acceptable.
Not if you want to thought of as a Superstar and not just a Scorer.
Melo had these thoughts on Twitter about the Knicks losing the series to the Heat.
Needs to ease up on listening to that Adele.
