Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 2993545, member: 2458"] The whole obsession with “rings” is out of hand. Melo led the Nuggets to the playoffs 7 straight times and to the WCF. They had been the worst franchise in the league for a decade before he got there. And then Melo led the Knicks to 3 straight playoffs and a 54 win season. They had also arguably been the worst franchise in the league for a decade prior to him going there. A guy being the building block to solid success with previously horrific franchises is nothing to mock. If people want to judge him by his post knee surgery twilight years in NY or OKC, they’re not really being honest. We judge players by their primes. Melo from like 2006-2014 was one of the best players in the league. [/QUOTE]
