Nobody was calling Melo "selfish" in the prime Denver days. He was getting knocked for Denver's wild handling of the front office during the trade year. Melo was mum trade topic during that time and played hard every game. The the Knicks form a "team" without a decent point guard, so D'Antoni decides to play 2K and put Melo at point. How stupid is that? Everyone wants Melo to be LeBron. It's just not going to happen. But that doesn't mean he can't be just as effective overall if used the right way. He had a solid lead vs LeBron in head-to-head games. Obviously, Bron's talents' transplant helped change that, but so did MDA's awful coaching.
So how did the season end? Did Woodson not have the "team" on the same page regardless of who was in? Did Lin and Melo not begin to mesh under Woodson? Did Melo not continue winning after Lin went down?
They went into the playoffs strong, then lost 2 key players on consecutive nights against the eventual "champs." Not to say they would have won at full strength, but there was no chance after those injuries.

I say that to say that things will be fine. The Knicks have gotten some key vets and a great foundation for a defensive identity. They also got rid of Landry Fields and Toney Douglas at the same time. Melo has little to no choice but to show up in shape. Playoffs are a definite lock and I highly doubt there will be a 1st round exit this season. The only question marks are Camby's knees and Stoudemire overall.

Nothing else even needs to be said.  Thank you sir for knowing what you are talking about

Melo was called a "ball stopper" in Denver. Thats just a synonym for selfish.

He said none of the selfish talk came up until linsanity. Which isn't true, It just got amplified

repped for truth

i definitely agree w/ golden child that Melo will be an MVP contender this upcoming season.

There's always a pattern of NBA players having great seasons after playing well in the olympics.
