Couldn’t ask anything more of Melo when it comes to supporting the program. One season, one championship, one practice facility and he always says great things about SU.

he looks a little thinner than he's played at the past few seasons.

Are the cornrows coming back?!

Ah. I knew it was a du rag just assumed he was protecting his hair for braids ... I see now it's to protect the waves lol. Damn!

 

[CusefanATL]

Which means you're protecting your hair for either waves or braids

im like 75% bald and pale as hell so i def dont know the ins and outs of waves/braids. maybe they are coming back.

Actually looks in better shape than he has in a while.

I agree he does look thinner. It's not just about the practice facility and the title. He has done a lot for the Syracuse community.

I'm actually excited for him this year. Glad hes giving it another shot on a top team but changing teams since OKC wasn't a 'fit.' Might work out pretty well Paul and Harden are a lot better at passing than Westbrook and George.

Glad Jerami is going to get more minutes too. Hard to be worth 9 a year if you don't get 30 mins a night.

Didn't he have the opportunity to go to Houston last year and picked OKC instead? Can't waste any years this late in his career.

He almost went to Houston, but I think what held it up was the Knicks didn’t want Ryan Anderson back and that was the only contract that would make the trade work.

Melo had a no trade clause and Houston and OKC were both on the list of teams he would approve a trade to. OKC was able to make the trade work with the Knicks, where Houston couldn’t.

I wish

Wow, no # 15 on his Cuse jersey.

He has just been fantastic for the program, a once in a lifetime player and contributor.

I hope he completes his resume and gets his pro ring.
