Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 1173739, member: 767"] I just think the Olympics thing is overblown. There's no situation in the NBA that's going to be anything like the Olympics. Melo is the only star player in the NBA that I ever hear anyone talk about how good he is with the Olympic team. Don't get me wrong, he was amazing in 2012, he scored 130 points in 143 minutes with 0 (!) turnovers. But I mean, he scored 37 points in 14 minutes against Nigeria, 10/12 3's. That's an incredibly performance, but it was Nigeria, what does that have to do with the NBA? For whatever it's worth (IMO, not a whole lot), he was 3-9 against Spain and 8-20 in 2 games against Argentina. That being said, the stuff about this being his last chance is overblown. He's a great player. The team isn't going to be very good this year because the rest of the team is devoid of talent. Hopefully they add some in the summer. [/QUOTE]
