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.
One of the most overrated Knicks of all time
I think he is one of the most overrated players in general. I do appreciate him coming to the Knicks when every other star rejects us. But he is nothing more than the best scorer in a very bad team. He is the Knicks version of Shareef Abdur Rahim. His only playoffs success was when he teamed up with career winners like Jason Kidd and Tyson Chandler. Dwight Howard should be in the NBA 75 instead of him.
