Star-MELO!!

 

Star-MELO!! Star-MELO!! Star-MELO!!

Yup I said it, Carmelo should officially change his handle to Star-Melo.

He's literally putting on an offensive clinic, torching opponents and showing the NBA what a franchise player looks like!

As a Knick fan is I've seen the love hate dynamic that other fans have with Melo, I've listen to the unwarranted attacks of radio show host and the ESPN "stat" guy about Melo's game and how much better all these other so-called "franchise" player are better.

All I got to say is "SHUT THE F--- UP!"

I believe that Melo was ranked 17th best player on an NBA player "power" chart.  And I felt it was a fair if not conservative rating. But I've felt if you fall in the top 30 you should be in the conversation of a 1st option on a NBA team.

Carmelo came to NY not just to increase his stardom but to share the load, NY advertised that STAT was the super-stud he was in Phoenix and together he and Melo would be the 1 and 2 of a super-star dynamic duo and maybe add a Chris Paul to the mix and VIOLA we have a big 3.

It didn't happen that way... instead STAT has been injury prone and a chemistry nightmare and 20mil dollar a year salary cap albatross.  So again Melo has to carry the load and he does it without complaining, he dose it while being lambasted by his critic and he does it all TAKING LESS MONEY THAN HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN ANYWHERE ELSE.

Man what a year the Knicks have had, book ended a sub-par middle season with a brilliant start and what looks to be an excellent finish, and Melo has given an old Knick fan something to cheer about going into the post season in over a decade.

Somehow the next year the Knicks need get younger. Some how dump the some salary (trade Amare to a team for a ton of players so that team can amnesty him and reduce their cap... Lakers maybe??).
And keep rotating guys around Melo until they get the magical formula the way Dallas did around Dirk.  And maybe we have a shot for the next couple of years either way, Melo gives me a lot to cheer about.

And something Knick fans haven't had for a LONG TIME!!

Go Knicks!
