I know that the overall sentiment on this sub is somewhat mixed, but I wanted to just dedicate this post to Melo because he is one of my favorite players of all time. Before I became a basketball fan, I distinctly remember sitting down and watching a game when Melo was still playing for us. The way he could get open and score was remarkable, and I started tuning into a bunch of games to see him play. He was an offensive force, and soon I started to fall in love with the game of basketball, and that was in large part due to him, I will always be thankful for that, and wish him a happy and healthy retirement. Thank you, #stayme7o

Deadass brings tears to my eyes. My favorite player of all time. He deserved so much better. He came to this franchise when no one else would and he gave it his best despite lineups including Sasha vujacic, Alexey shved, Lance Thomas, etc. I don’t give a fuck about what people say about him, he is an NBA legend and a first ballot hall of famer.

I remember I was so delusional of a melo stan I would argue with ANYONE who would listen how he’s better than KD 🤣
Shitty take, but man before the shoulder surgeries he was an absolute stud
I mean, look. Melo was not the best of his generation. He was never on THAT team that came close to sniffing a championship. But what he did provide was HOPE that MAYBE the Knicks could become a dominant, relevant franchise again. That 2012-2013 season was fucking magical, and although it ended in a whimper, it was the most fun I had watching the Knicks since the 90’s.
Melo will forever be considered a Knicks great for giving us hope. I doubt they retire his number or do anything like that, but make damn sure he will ALWAYS get a standing ovation anytime he is in MSG.
