You Melo said the nuggas gave nicolea yic the number 15 Jersey to try to e erase what he did Melo called giving nicoa yic J the same number he wor in Denver is a is a petty maneuver it wasn’t like oh we got a number to choose
From it was like here you got 15 uh Melo here let me take this first Melo you do realize this guy was a a second round Europe PM player that when he got drafted they was in the middle of a Taco Bell commercial so you re you really
Thought who thought n joic was gonna arguably be one of a top 10 player when it’s all said and done because they thought that they took him number one overall exactly the guy was in the second round and plus melow you forget you forced your way out I’m sorry you
Forc your way out of relationship and I don’t hold you in high regards please forgive me no no dead ass right he was a second round pick nobody knew he was gonna be it was I remember when um announcer said uh I don’t know if he was playing against Houston Oh They’ll put
Anybody in the game when he was posting up yeah right so they didn’t know what he was gonna be he turned into this unfortunately he had the same number you had and nobody’s G to remember you wore 15 I’m sorry Melo but nobody’s going remember you wore
15 he he’s known more and this is so I don’t want to say it but you’re a Nick player thank you you’re a Nick player your career is New York Knicks yes like we know what you did as a as a rookie coming in but four time Allstar one time
Gold medalist three time all NBA as a Nick six-time Allstar two gold medalist three all NBA one scoring champ your jersey is in the rafters in the garden yes take that and that’s just it you know I know it hurts because that’s who drafted you but your numbers ain’t there
In the the bigger picture but but uh the fact that they have number 12 and 55 retired which is fat lever uhhuh and then the cooking and then a Cookie Monster Mumbo the fact that they got those two up there you got you got to retire my jersey yeah oh they
Don’t got I thought they would have Dan Iron Horse no they got them but they earned theirs yes you know Alex English earned his I’m fat Leever come on you yeah fat with a triple double before before Russ yeah you wasn’t better than goddamn uh Melo and
Matumbo meel I mean come on man Matumbo been all over the place he was in Philly he was in Atlanta he was at Houston so I mean I mean it’s not like he’s like known for the Nuggets no like so you know the fact that you have his jersey
Retired you know I will I will feel some type of way but you know I I as a player didn’t I didn’t do that much there to to to really have a problem when I know my body of work is in New York yeah I mean
It’s not like melow you had like a Tom Brady career and then all of a sudden they give somebody 12 they gave a guy they gave a backup I mean he was a second round pick the guy got drafted is in the middle of a Taco barell commercial nobody could have for told
That he would be this nobody you can’t say that that’s even worse you can’t give my number to the dude in the second round bro give you my number to the second round pick hu but here’s the thing Gil the fact of the matter is is
That the guy turned out and people won’t remember him but my thing is they don’t it doesn’t matter who they put in 84 the people in Denver going to remember I wore number 84 people going to say that’s Shannon Sharp’s number now they mess right and let’s just say that was
Grant or or Travis Kelce people like man I don’t remember who wore that damn 84 before groon or Kelce got it that’s just the way it is yeah that’s just the way it is but when you take a basketball player okay it’s more likely guy in the
Second round in in the NFL makes it or plays well because we’ve seen a lot of those is not likely that a second round NBA player is going to have the type of career that nicolea yic just had no no did right it’s not I mean it was unexpected they probably
Didn’t they I mean they they didn’t they didn’t foresee this man and it it’s just one of those things that happened right you know um but at the end of the day you don’t you don’t you don’t have the resume I mean if you had the Knicks
Resume over there right you know then we can talk but you’re your his legacy is a New York Nick yes it is what it is and the guy’s a the guy’s a NBA a two-time back-to-back MVP he’s a Finals MVP and when it’s all said and done we’re GNA
See where we gonna see where it ranks yeah I mean right now he’s going to be ranked one in that franchise oh for sure that’s e that’s done that’s done he ain’t gotta play he ain’t gota play another down he ain’t got excuse me another game that’s it for him yeah two
MVPs a Finals MVP and the numbers that he’s putting up on the dude has what 112 113 triple doubles yep and he’s less than what 10 years in the league maybe 10 years no he was drafted 2015 so eight years yeah I’m sorry Melo
And I know I look when a guy wears your number you like oh man this Joker ain’t worthy of having my number you know he’s more than worthy yes and what’s gonna happen is that people in Denver will have forgotten that you actually wore that number I mean the black people remember
You know it’s just it’s the the black people remember I mean it’s just one of those things you you like my jersey um finally got used this year you know lottery pick yeah um will he do the things I did I hope not but if he do d g you you hope I
Hope he don’t but you know uh the fact that you know that I I thought my jersey was being hidden for you know um you know the frowned upon right you know so the fact that they let someone wear it it it it kind of makes me proud
Like okay finally I thought just burn zero out of the archives yeah I have my um my number at Savannah State retire and even before it got retired my coach Bill Davis said nobody as long as I’m the head coach ain’t nobody wearing that number because nobody had ever had
The jersey retired and um I think in 2009 is when they finally retired retired it but from 8 from when I left in 89 nobody had even wore it from 89 to 2009 so 20 Seasons nobody even had that Jersey now can’t no one wear it unless I
Unless Savannah State and I we both have to give consent to let somebody wear it and uh I know my my thing is why would you want to a three-time All-American a conference player of the year uh offense a player of the year three times Georgia’s Player of the Year
Why would you want number two you won’t you don’t nobody’s nobody’s dumb nobody want nobody wants that pressure man you you know what’s happening
Shannon Sharpe and Gilbert Arenas react to Carmelo Anthony saying on his 7PM In Brooklyn podcast that the Denver Nuggets giving Nikola Jokic the number 15 was “a petty maneuver” and a “slap in the face” to him. Unc and Gil can’t believe Melo would think the Nuggets knew Jokic would wind up being a 2-time MVP or that Denver might not think very fondly of him after he forced his way to the New York Knicks.

I clearly wasn't paying attention cause I thought the Nuggs gave Jokic Melo's phone number 😂
Hahaha. Melo is absolutely delusional. Jokic has already won a chip, probably already regarded as the GOAT by Nuggets fan and hasn't reached his ceiling yet. I'm a diehard Knicks fans and Melo isn't held at a high level in NY. Melo chased off talent, coaches and never had the humility to accept that he couldn't make players around him better. It was the teams job to find players to make Melo better, which made it impossible for the Knicks to get better.
Jokic>Melo any day of the week
Melo always hating 😂
Stop embarrassing yourself Melo
Matombo gave us nuggets fans our most iconic moment as a franchise before we got the chip. Being the first 8 to beat a 1 is always gonna be a huge badge of honor
As someone from Colorado Melo left us for more money he had zero loyalty so we have no loyalty to him he never did anything for us anyways he was all hype and would choke every chance he got
👎no Gil
He’s as much a nugget as he is a Knick but he did better in Denver. Knicks should not retire melo, for what? Where’s the finals appearances , victories, conference finals appearances multiple 50 win seasons, playoffs every year? Nah if the Knicks retire him then there’s a few guys that need to retire 1st
Melo got Lin out of New York cause he couldn’t stand Lin getting the spot light. His teammates knew it too.
Guys… Nikola wore 15 before Denver, for years!!
Melo became ‘Melo’ in Denver, conference finals? In Denver he was a force in Denver…. I do think he deserves that. Only player to bring the nuggets to something close of that is Jokic before that the nuggets was ass when Melo left. He turned the nuggets around but ultimately he didn’t stay a nugget. Number 15 should be retired as a Nugget before 7 in New York that’s just me. 007 didn’t do shit in New York but out the 1st round of the playoffs lol
Comedy at its best. Lol😂
Melo managed to summarize how his mentality prevented him from winning a title in just this interview alone
If Jokic went to the Knicks, he'd be remembered as a way better Knick than Melo.
Jokers last three seasons are better than any of melos, and as a lifelong nuggets fan i can securely say that we don’t think much of melo
Where ever Melo is on the All-Time list Jolie better be right above him
I can see 99% of the comment section is stupid and missing melo’s point. Shannon doesn’t know nothing about basketball and gil is gil
I almost forgot Melo wore #15. I was so used to him wearing #7.
Melo was lazy on D , a great scorer who got used on the other end.Also a coach killer.
The funniest part is that Melo says "Well maybe he was a fan or so" like Jokic wasn't wearing 15 for years
Personally, I still see Melo in powder blue when I think of his best years…As a Celtics fan, I saw him plenty with the Knicks and it was almost always underwhelming, looked out of shape at times…didn't seem to care, didn't do a damn thing with them.
Melo and the Nuggets don't rock with each other like that, AND as great a player as Melo is, Jokic is way better.
Shannon talked more shit …at least Melo played the sport…..SHANNON OWES DENVER A RING ALL THE SHIT HE WAS TALKING
I think Melo is just trying to capitalize off of any attention he can get. 2005 came and went dog.
What did Carmelo ever do in Denver other than disappoint everyone?
Did v.carter complain about amir johnson? Did bosh complain about scottie? Did ray complain about giannis? Did penny complain about Tmac? I dont thinkk so
Melo expects Denver to be loyal to him but he was never loyal to Denver.
It’s confusing when it’s come to what a player needs to do to get their Jersey retired, Michael Jordan 0 mins for the Heat yet #23 is retired there. Derek Fisher won 5 rings with the Lakers and yet his #2 is still available.
Melo better tho Jokic just 7 foot giant
I was a nuggets fan and disappointed he left denver. But i moved on and didnt care about him as a knick. Melo thinking too much of this.
I'll still wear my melo jersey for the good memories, and support of nuggets, and now #15 for jokic
Denver shouldn't have retired Mutombo's jersey.
I'm from Denver. I remember Nattiel wore 84 but it's Shannon's number, period.
Melo should have his jersey retired for being to big of baby to stick it out in Denver for 6 months instead making NY trade away any chance at a championship
Naah even the black people won't remember. Jokic delivered the first ever championship man. Melo is history
Linsanity>Melo
Melo is bugging. Also, what legacy did he even have in NY???
Melo is the toxic ex that's mad that the person they dumped ended up doing better while they crashed and burned
Carmelo has always been small and petty. Even when his own team was doing great without him during Linsanity, he never once cheered them on and even pushed Lin out at the end of the season. As if that wasn’t enough, he also insulted the contract Lin got, which players never do and which he wouldn’t have done if Lin were black. He’s just classless all around
