Lol how didn't he understand

@@erickiyoshiphillips2323 because it doesnt make sense “im 1 of the best IN HISTORY but i cant have my jersey retired somewhere?” Thats hard to grasp

He made a lot of sense

@@FlowboyVegas1no it isn’t. Y’all just overthink it. He definitely ain’t gettin his #15 retired for Denver lol. And he didn’t win anything for NY to retire him. Makes perfect sense

Orlando is perfect example Hardaway shaq and McGrady should all have their jerseys retired there but they all spent like 5 yrs or less in orlando. Dwight howard might be the first but look how he left to

Magic is just a joke franchise, bad example

That depends on the organization. In the Knicks case, all retired jerseys except Patrick Ewing have won a championship there so that will be hard. In Orlandos case they havent won anything since foundation so the bar is really low. In case of Denver that is also hard since he share jerseys # with Jokic.

​@@davidsato7898 Patrick Ewing led the Knicks in a decade run of winning.

@@Red-gc6dw yeah I know, even getting Knicks to Finals in 94, but sadly didnt won a chip. Thats why as I mentioned, Knicks are one of the stricter franchises in terms of Jerseys retirement, all players in the rafters in Madison Square Garden have won a Chip, except Ewing.

Same thing about to happen to Russell Westbrook.

@@clutchcity25 Russ got lucky. If he didn’t accept his 6th man role in LA, he might have not got a chance with the Clippers, especially with that monster contract.

😂😂😂

Gilbert 😂

Lol yea he was buggin with the A C Green ish lol 😂😂

Then I get later on and ya mans tryna distract pau is so crazy.

I agree that it doesn’t matter about the ring but he accomplished nothing with the knicks. Literally nothing. They made the second round once. That’s what you’re celebrating and rewarding??

Correction: The New Jazz. ✊🏿

He's a casual

He’s talking about rings tho Pat didn’t get one so Melo should get his jersey retired

I think he was saying in retrospect to melo being in the rafters next to Ewing he is just as good as Ewing as far as impact

​@@lakeshow3237 swing brought that team to multiple conference finals and finals appearances and was always loyal through bad & good he was the the franchise cornerstone.

​@@lakeshow3237Pat led to Knicks to 2 Finals. Led to deep Playoffs runs multiple times. Don't compare that ball hog to Patrick Ewing. Don't disrespect Big Pat like that

Forced his way out is strong, he just told them he was leaving in the off-season and not resigning so they better trade him or else he was leaving them with nothing in return. He lowkey did them a favor

I don’t blame him either, they got him washed stars to play with and he had to deal with George karl lol most stars would have wanted out too

Should’ve never been given the number

@@saiyanroyalty229 I don’t think melo deserves to get his jersey retired in Denver

Yep. I wouldn’t do both lol

Had to say his whole name so you know he was serious 😂

Agreed

this is the take

With a name like Piña, your opinion on basketball is irrelevant.

He's an idiot that's why!

they just talking crazy

Lakers are a bit different they have a longer more extensive legacy of winning, also Bron switched jerseys on the Lakers so he basically split his accolades on the Lakers in half trying to copy Kobe but he hasn't accomplished enough to get either jersey retired

@@amos7000 I get what you’re saying but Wilt Chamberlain got his jersey retired with about 6000 points averaging 17ppg. Lebron is already at 7600 points averaging 27.4ppg as a LAKER. And he got the Finals MVP something Wilt didn’t get in LA.

@@sadraclouischarles3579 No Wilt did get the FMVP in LA, also Brons ring is different compared to every other ring in history, it was during a pandemic in a bubble, I don't think the Lakers organization really respects that ring.

But always u have the jersey retired before a second and relevant player use it

@@cesarbarbosa8875 they probably didn't think jokic would pan out like he did

It’s so sad bro. People are just throwing his name in the mud can’t just say congratulations and move on shìt is crazy

@@slycooper1979 they do this so often with players man

For real all these channels should be appreciating his greatness and remembering sone of his amazing performances and stuff but I'm not seeing much on it. F the media, they literally ruined his reputation, one of the greatest basketball players ever.

He just retired….

He just trolled everyone look at Jennings and KMart's reactions lol

Amare? Y’all tryna see everyone jersey retired

@@Blank9458 maybe Phoenix but he killed for a half a season here then got hurt again that doesn't get anything in the rafters

He only left because they started to break up the team from 09 when they went to the conference finals. That’s when he decided to leave

Bc Kobe and Duncan were smacking every team around in the rugged west

He ain't been gone that long. And Personally I remember Melo more as a Nugget.

Gil always tripping. He's an egotistical maniac.

@@slimdigga9100 he’s only tripping bc he was on the wizards for 7 years and they didn’t retire his number😂

He’s not trippen at all on Melo. Why would either of the franchises Melo played at an all-star level for retire his jersey. He has zero finals appearances and left both places with a bad taste upon exiting.

@isaakduarte9836 The Wizards are a bum franchise. Arenas had his downs and it didn’t end well in Washington but he’s still a top 5 Wizards all time. We won’t get his jersey retired since they let their rookie draft pick wear his #0. Fucking joke. Even Westbrook out of respect to Gil didn’t wear #0 when he was in Washington that one year.

If that's the case no Knicks should get a jersey retired 😂

@@MrJamb0reepreach

Disappointing but not cause him. There have been few to no circumstances where he hasn’t came through for his team. Only thing I blame him for is being stingy with money so the teams can’t surround him with talent

@@rafaeldiaz1646 imagine if everybody in the league takes a pay cut. That is foolish

@@rafaeldiaz1646 it would be foolish bc it doesn’t guarantee a championship

He should NOT get his jersey in LA based on his current resume. They may give it to him if he retires a Laker for sentiment but if he goes with Bronny somewhere else? NAH

@@oreoblast2012 His LA resume is easily going in the rafter it’s not even something worth debating

Very informative. Thanks for sharing ! 👏🏾👏🏾

That makes so much sense now

@Michael Martin You must be a teenager. Derek Fisher..even Kobe said was KEY. Stop it. Not Scheming for a player does not mean they are not key. He was the STARTING point guard for every game of every playoff Kobe was in. He was the FLOOR general. His decision making and defense were exceptional, and his shot-making. Clearly, you were eight years old when Kobe was winning. Stop it. You sound ridiculous.

Derek Fisher, Robert Horry, Byron Scott and Michael Cooper need to have their Laker jerseys retired.

Wasn't melo doing well w Portland???

If Deandre Jordan and PJ Tucker can have a roster spot Carmelo definitely could 😂💯

Bro what’s up wit this weird stuff with ppl saying Stan just say fan bro yall be sounding so stupid talking bout some damn Stan just say fan less letters and it’s the actual word damn society so weird and killing the new generation. No hate tho bro just saying.

@@Haze. GTFHO! I say exactly what I want and if you don’t like it, keep scrolling.

Yeah, at this current point it's fair to lightly question James jersey retirement with the Lakers, only because they have so much history. But he's a top player of all time even during his older age with the Lakers and they did win a chip, I don't see James not getting his jersey retired and a statue outside the arena. In Miami and Cleveland's case there's no doubt, Gilbert was focused on points, because that's all Gil ever thinks about is points, Gilbert didn't play defense or pass the ball after all. In Miami he was the best version of himself ever, 4 finals appearances, two back to back chips, finals MVPS, regular season MVPS, should have won defensive player of the year. Although in 2015 I feel like that was a peak year where he was still just as athletic, but also had reached mastery of the game, just a shame in those finals literally everybody on the Cavs was injured. Cavaliers are self explanatory, his many years there and the body of work he put in, plus he's from the area and most importantly brought them their first and only championship.

Nick was with them since Seattle. It shows that commitment to a team is what retires your number if the team respects you

I'm here thinking why, he ain't no king lol

@@MrJamb0ree exactly like bruh stop the madness 🤣

They’re still mad at how he forced his way out. That’s why they let Jokic get his number.

LOL, why would they do that?

kd should only get retired in okc in my opinion

@@NAMISIMP I agree.

there’s no doubt lebron gets his jersey retired in miami lol. what gil is wrong about on this is that you have to consider the franchises history and the context behind it. lebron got the heat 2/3 of their championships lol. without him, they’d still only have the one they got from dwade and shaq. how can you not retire his jersey? yeah he only spent 4 years there, but he got the job done in two of them. there are still a bunch of franchises in the nba that have yet to win a championship

Are you saying he didn't get a fair shake, bc nobody signed him? Or something else? And if something else, what?

@@saucecastillo460 Both he still had a lot left in him to play

@@Rellbronjames9 ok, what's the something else? And he could clearly still play & not just be a vet/mentor to a young team, but his story is complicated. The narrative is he was about his money & stats, and his moves kinda showed that. And if that's the case, I'm not mad at him, but it does impact how you're viewed. Not saying he didn't get a fair shake, but just curious how you feel he got jobbed

@@saucecastillo460 Do you think he got a fair shake for a player of his caliber?

@@Rellbronjames9 you said he didn't get a fair shake. I'm not disagreeing with you, but I don't know if that's true. I'm curious how/why you feel he didn't get a fair shake

Retirements means you are no longer available for the activities in question. If no team picks him up he could have gone to Taiwan, China, Europe etc. He is making it clear that he is done playing basketball, anywhere, professionally.

@@tila99thanks magic!

Who was better than Melo on that OKC team?

@@darrenjohnson2043doesn’t matter. He could’ve came off the bench and still played as many minutes as a starter. His ego wouldn’t allow him to see the bigger picture

I think they could if they really wanted to Don’t other franchises have multiples of the same number retired But I think the way it ended with Denver they won’t Jokic is a better choice after all But yeah Knicks should 1,000% retire the #7

Pat Riley had it retired

Old news.. It's been retired for over 20+ years

@@richieporter3798 Yeah Pat Riley did it. Michael Jordan really did come in at a good time. Jordan becoming the poster boy for the Nba. His exciting style of play .

The Last Dance, the Goat Debates on tv,podcast ,space jam movies, Jersey sales,Sneakers, Gatorade sponsorship help bring alot of eyes to the nba

That's a weird take lol, he isn't efficient on offense and is statistically one of the worst defenders of the last 3-4 years

Sad that he refused to adapt, man was still playing 00 ball

Nah I feel you on most of this but Melo would have to not get injured for this to be kind of true

Long difficult 2-pointers on isos are a low percentage shot. The man hasn’t reached 44% on field goals since 2015. And he’s a worse defender than Harden. He should have been out of the league a decade ago 😂

Now you know why the league had to sabotage Melo's career... Same with Westbrook

Exactly and he had 0 points in game 7 of the finals in 2013.

That city and organization love him enough reason to retire his jersey.
