Carmelo is credited with making the Knicks relevant again, making 5 all-star appearances and finishing 2nd in 2013 MVP voting. His lack of playoff success is often criticized however only winning 1 playoff series in his Knicks career, and being seen as a selfish ballhog type of player.
As a Knicks fan, 100% yes.
I never understood being stingy with jersey retirements, they’re hype when they happen and it’s a fun moment to celebrate a player.
We’re not the Nuggets where our franchise GOAT plays the same number, retire him, let’s have a fun day at the garden, and then get to spam Melo memes.
