No way Melo is a top 5 Knick. π

Melo is one of the most overrated player of all time. And heβs not a top 5 Knick. Coming from a Knick fan since 1992 and someone who was born and raised in NYC

Trying to discredit facts because you were born yet is super childish. That’s like 90s babies trying to discredit Bird or Magic. How about sports analysts do some research

I watched carmelo play his who career and i never thought he was a top ten player in the NBA he got numbers but he didnt win enough to me

Melo prolly played on a few top 5 worse Knick teams. When Phil came we started putting out rosters like we was tanking, and told em just run the triangle

Dude this is kind of a irrelevant survey for real. Dude you got Ewing, Oakley, Starks, Mark Jackson, Carmelo, JR Smith!, Bernard King, Latrell, Houston, Mason, Pearl, Kiki, Christie, Lin!, Stoudemire!, What?! You definitely not gonna just go 60βs and 70βs Knicks on that list. Hell naw

Not a top 10 in my opinion. Lin was the best thing that happened to the Knicks during Meloβs time there

in terms of basketball skills/talent he is definitely up there. in terms of achievements, no.

I agree with Mad Dog. Carmelo put up points but didn’t play a lick of defense and on top of that, he was more about making money than winning. The one thing that players from Melo’s era like Kobe, Lebron, and D Wade have in common is that they were part of the all defensive team numerous times and it played a part in them winning championships.

Melo was always a selfish plaer, not a team guy. Not Top 5.

Melo is NOT a Knick all time great. He did nothing with the knicks, the team who cause Miami problems in those days were the Bulls and Celtics, and pacers Not the sucky knicks with Melo!!!
