    Saying Melo couldn’t average 20 when Tayshaun Prince was avg 15 is blasphemy!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
  • @cap536
    They should’ve had this debate with K Mart there….he played on Denver with Melo so he would know best
  • @TylerNicely
    Gil forgets Billups and Mello played together for his best playoff run. This may be the only time I agree with McCants
  • This was a moronic move of the Detroit Pistons. Melo would've continued the dynasty and made them relevant after that 04 chip.
  • I can see Camelo breaking through like Kawhi did in San Antonio 💯
  • Gil trying to make it seem like Melo would have had to sit on the bench for a long time is nuts. Also he didn’t just up and develop his style in the league, he was incredible in isolation at Syracuse
  • Casuals think melons inefficient points would make every team a championship 🤣🤣
  • @cspill99
    Melo working out with Sheed, Ben and Prince everyday. He would have been one of the best to every do it!
  • I like how Gil doesn’t like to engage in hypotheticals but fully predicted Melos career in this experiment 😂😂😂
  • @YZ4hunnid
    Detroit had NO SUCH EQUIVALENT of KD and Russ lol
  • @Call_Me_Con
    Melo would have taken Prince’s spot the way Kobe took Eddie Jones spot. This the first time I’ve agreed with McCants
  • @GHOST91141
    Melo playing with Sheed, Big Ben, Rip, Billups & Prince could've made Melo a better leader & damn sure a better defensive player
  • Gil tripping... Talking about he learned to score like that in Denver.. Lets not forget he took Syracuse to the championship and won.. This dude been a scorer before he came to the league
  • Bruh said they "disintegrated" in 07 like the team got shot with an alien gun or something
  • @OFFISHAL_i20
    Carmelo Anthony was gone average 27 regardless of his teammates Melo is still Melo
  • Melo didn't have a bad career he's top ten scoring all time... He should've won a Chip with one of those Denver teams. Melo is great.
  • @chamdumba5666
    The past is not linear once I change one thing everything else changes
  • That dude said Melo was a 6’8 PG. 😂😂😂😂😂 And that Larry Brown would’ve let him cook, when we ALL KNOW Larry Brown didn’t even wanna play Bron, Wade and Melo in the Olympics. Let’s stop this shit.
