amare trashed melo when he left
melo made sure lin wasnt re-signed
rose, lol
melo didn't want to play with porzingis until he saw him play

He definitely crossed the line saying..

“Kenyon and Carmelo carried two big burdens: all that money and no father to show them how to act like a man,”


“He was the best offensive player I ever coached. He was also a user of people, addicted to the spotlight and very unhappy when he had to share it.


Keep it focused on basketball. No need to go personal. Just shows what type of person Karl is. Not to mention that he's not that good of a coach.

However, I can't disagree with him on this

“He really lit my fuse with his low demand of himself on defense. He had no commitment to the hard, dirty work of stopping the other guy. My ideal — probably every coach’s ideal — is when your best player is also your leader. But since Carmelo only played hard on one side of the ball, he made it plain he couldn’t lead the Nuggets, even though he said he wanted to. Coaching him meant working around his defense and compensating for his attitude.”


When Lebron, Wade and Melo was drafted, my favorite player was Melo. I knew Lebron was a superstar, I got to watch him a lot in high school but Melo was a pure scorer with championship experience. So I agree, his defense stopped him from developing into the all-around superstar like wade and Bron , he wasn't James Harden bad, but he lacked effort and basic concepts.

He will never be a great defender, but Melo has matured a lot from his Denver days and his basketball IQ has drastically improved. He still have lapses, but you see him actually stepping up to the challenge of playing an all around game.

Anyway, this shouldn't be news ... Let Karl sell books on his own.

Funny thing about Karl that he allways played attacking basketball and wasnt thinking about def..He had two great guys called Camby and Martin...How can u say something bad about Melos def if u didnt ask him that then?The older he gets,the more tupid he gets...He needs publicity?Low on cash?

Classic case of racial paternalism. I suppose Karl's daddy taught him how to take potshots at players. He needs his azz kicked.


Karl is a racist, back in 90s he said black coaches were getting coaching jobs not because of the skills, but because of the affirmative action.


How is this racist?

Even worse after Melo's biggest game of the season. Like I said, let Karl sell books on his own. What he's doing isn't our concern .

Karl who's always tried to get stars traded is calling other people users.

Yeah, there's something very hypocritical.

**** him and I'd be happy to say that to his face. And it has less to do with Melo but more about the fact that this man will always be a whiney old bitch.

that pisses me off too. I never had a father in my life yet, I have no felonies on my record, I like to think I'm a good man, I work pay bills and take care of my loved ones. The only hurt I do is more than likely going to be to myself.

Wonder what would come out if his former players collaborated on a book about Karl because he's fractured quite a few locker rooms on his own. The crap he pulled with Cousins and I'm the last one to defend that jerk but, Karl destroyed that relationship before it even began.

True. If you don't emphasize defense as a coach you can't complain about players not doing it. Karl has never sought good defenders for his teams, just athletes who could shoot and run.

Oh this is you staying out of the civil war? Literally lying and spreading propaganda. Feel free to show me where Amare and Melo have a bad relationship and PROOF that Melo made sure Lin wasn't re-signed.

How desperate you have become

the game plan in denver will always be less defense and more offense because the air itself acts like a defense.
