Melo and Lala Seperated (Update: Getting A Divorce)

[ctorres]

I guarantee you if this dude makes the playoffs next year he's scoring 50 during game 1.

Factors in support of your argument:
- The fact that he has not been in the playoffs over the last 4 years means he has less wear and tear than other superstars and franchise players of similar age and experience.
- Since his knee surgery a while back, Melo has not had any reported lingering issues on either knee (at least to my knowledge). Other that excessively padding up his knees like no one else in the league, Melo seems to have much healthier knees at his age than Allan Houston did at the same point in his Knick career.

Factors against your argument:
- Melo will be 33 years old next season. Many experts insist that 33 years old is still 33 years old regardless of any surrounding circumstances.
- Melo's shoulder continues to be a recurrring issue, which limits his ability to post up and play close to the hoop, potentially relegating his offense to mostly off-the-ball jump shooting.
- Melo's excessive padding of his entire body may be hiding the extent of his actual injuries.

Hard to be incorrect when these leaks seem to be coming from LaLa or she's giving someone the okay to release it to media outlets.

If something is reported and it is later shown to be incorrect, the report is not correct. Doesn't matter who said what, the report is incorrect if the leak is incorrect. Want to not release an incorrect report? Make sure it's accurate.

a statement would have already been released if it weren't true.

So a report is true unless someone releases a statement on it? My post was referring specifically about the woman who Melo supposedly had relations with not being a stripper, not about whether or not he had an affair. If Melo releases a statement saying the reports are false, then people will call him a lier; if he doesn't, he's called unfaithful. He's **** either way.

But, no, let's believe every report out there (as long as it suits an agenda) because it hasn't been refuted yet. Makes sense!

I HOE that this is the end of victimMelo once and for all.

He sure was quick to reply to Phil's press conference.

La La just woke up the day after it was reported they were separated and decided to stroll Manhattan with no wedding ring.

Carmelo Anthony has been dogged by cheating rumors for years and sources say he’d justify it to his friends by saying, “La La is married, I’m not.”

Multiple sources tell Page Six that Melo would often flirt or hook up with women while he was on the road with the Knicks during his nearly seven-year marriage to La La.

One source said, “Melo’s tagline was, ‘She’s married, I’m not.’ That’s how he would justify it. His attitude is that all professional athletes do it, and many of them do. La La has put up with a lot. She knew it was going on, but I guess this time she’s had enough.”

A rep for Melo declined to comment on allegations of his cheating or the report that he impregnated a stripper who works at a New York gentlemen’s club over six months ago. The dancer allegedly is demanding money for medical bills and other baby expenses.

A source close to Melo added, “The stripper pregnancy rumor is not true. Yes he’s not been perfect, but the baby with a stripper isn’t true.”

Other sources say La La and Carmelo currently have no plans to file for divorce.

One told Page Six, “They’ve been living separately for several months. They’ve broken up in the past, they split three years ago, gave it some time and then got back together. They’re hoping the same works again.”

In the light of the new allegations that Carmelo impregnated a stripper, as reported by TMZ, a source close to his wife said, “La La doesn’t want to deal with all of these rumors … she doesn’t want to focus on any of it at the moment … She’ll deal with it when it all comes down.

“The cheating rumors have always been out there and the majority will talk about the rumors over and over. She’s waiting on his team to respond and decide how to handle the rumors.”

A complicating factor is that La La’s career is really taking off just when Carmelo’s really struggling with his. She’s starring in 50 Cent‘s “Power” and last week she wrapped her latest movie, “Emergency Furlough” with Whoopi Goldberg and Anna Paquin. She’s also hosting a Mother’s Day special on VH1.

The source continued, “Carmelo’s career problems, on the other hand, don’t put him in a good mental place,” adding, “There’s also the uncertainty about their future — Carmelo is likely to be leaving New York but who knows for where.

“They want to see how that shakes out before figuring out what to do.”

Of the couple, who have a 10-year-old son, Kiyan, the source said, “La La thinks Melo is a great dad. But the fact is, they’re better when they’re not together.”

This is more important that is why someone from his side would've made it their business to refute it if it wasn't true.

Ok...? Not sure how that is relevant at all to anything I just said at all. If you can't understand the differences between the situations, that's on you. If you can't understand what I said in my initial post (that wasn't directed at you), that's on you. If you can't understand my previous post, that's on you. I'm done with ya, bud. Enjoy your day.

Maybe it's just a situation he wants to keep private on his behalf.

The truth comes out eventually but in this case might as well let the storm pass then face your woes.

He can keep it private if he wants, but La La's PR team is going a different route.

[Rotten Apple]

I think back to things like

Tony Parker getting with Brent Barry's wife
Jason Kidd taking Tony Braxton from Jim Jackson
Jason Richardson getting Steve Nash's wife pregnant
Paul George cheating on Doc Rivers daughter and knocking up a stripper

The thing they all have in common, small markets.

Okay but now the girl went from stripper to social worker with a masters degree.

Hell maybe Melo just wanted to breakaway from a spotlight driven LaLa idk. Things happen, you part ways but here's the damage control from LaLa side.

Not condoning cheating but again all we have is speculation. The key here is letting it play out. A week from now the story is old once a Kardashian does something then Melo can maybe speak out but maybe he doesn't have to. Only person he owes anything to is his son so as long as he handles that then he's good going forward.

Excuses

Hello Greenie.

I'm disappointed in Melo right now.

As you should be. Melo's a selfish cat only thinking about his needs and wants. He got a son for crying out loud.

What? Jason Richardson getting Steve Nash's wife pregnant?

Is this all true? Did she have an abortion? Are they still married? Why is Jason Richardson still alive?

I thought Parker was married to Eva Longoria.

Well damn.

Nash wife gave birth, next day files for divorce then Richardson gets traded to the Magic shirt after and BOOM rumors everywhere.

Parker and Barry were teammates and Parker banged his wife, Longaria left Parker after that.

I have a few friends that pull that line. It's the infatuation people have with wanting to be a G.

[TruthBeTold]

DAMN! If true, It looks like no pull out Melo is going to be playing Basketball till he is 40. La La now has a reason why she wouldn't be joining Melo on his move to another state. The only good news for Melo is that there is a chance both of his kids will be living in the same city. However, I wouldn't be surprised to hear the stripper chick now wants a mansion in L.A. because her and Melo's kid don't like the cold weather in NYC.

[Jay10]

@ “La La thinks Melo is a great dad. But the fact is, they’re better when they’re not together.”

That source definitely channeled Phil from last Friday's press conference.
