This is a  loyal board which is great - as a cuse and knicks fan I love and appreciate Melo. He got Cuse an NC and made my Knicks at least partially relevant during this dark age. That said, in my opinion if he went to any other school he would be getting grilled here. He is what he is - he will be known as a great scorer, an underrated rebounder, a poor defender and a guy who never learned how to facilitate ball movement. Right wrong of indifferent he will also be known as a guy who chased max money in an era when better players did not always choose that route(Durant, Duncan, etc).

Sadly he will also be remembered for limited playoff success - I know he took Denver to the Conference finals but they were the two seed that year and they beat NOLA and a 6 seeded Dallas team that had knocked off the Spurs. Not sure it was the march thru Atlanta that has been portrayed here. He is a HOF player and one of the great scorers in the history of the game, but his inability to adapt to the changing game and his changing skill set place in the league is something that held him back from next level greatness. ALl this does not mean I don't like or appreciate what he has accomplished.
