Nope, melo wanted out of denver in his prime. He wanted nothing to do with Denver. Most Nuggets fans feel the same way about him.
No way, he wanted out. He got out. He made a lot of mistakes in his career. He got black balled for awhile. Not a good guy to retire a number. Jokic is number 15 for the nuggets now.
Melo who? There's only one #15 in Denver. No one else is relevant.
Nah.
Absolutely NEEDS to be in the rafters. His influence through all stages of his basketball career is legendary.
There’s only room for one number 15 jersey and it ain’t melos
Of course they should!
Hell no, retiring Carmelo's number 15 would be a giant insult to Jokic, 15 should be Jokic and Jokic only.
Good show, Wynn!!
NO!
Nope. He got what he wanted – city, team and security of a long term contract. Let the Knicks retire his number if they want. #15 belongs to just one Nugget. Do appreciate the draft pick that led to Murray tho
Man if only you guys could ask Stan Kroenke, or even Josh Kroenke. 😅
Absolutely not. You don't see anyone putting up pictures of their ex around the house. WTF
The idea that the Nuggets need to reach out & woo Melo to come back is a joke. The only thing I've ever heard him say about the Nuggets since he left is "they should retire my number. Go Knicks!"
And the idea the team should celebrate his era is like asking someone to celebrate their marriage to a wife who was lusting for someone else the whole time & started shitting in your bed to get what they wanted. No thanks, Knicks can have him.
Nah, let New York retire it for all the nothing he did for them. That 2010 season was bs
No! He wanted to go somewhere else instead of trying to win a chip with Denver. Now we are the champions, so we good.
