I think I'm becoming a fan of Melo

[DDS4]

Didn't care for the guy initially, I thought he was a huge knucklehead. Dumb things said publically, DUI, etc....

I don't know if it was the Olympics or just maturity, but when I just watch his game without the nonsense, dude is a beast.

I hope he continues to let his game speak for itself.

Melo is a beast but he was a punk in the Olympics

[Bukefal]

He is a great player indeed

Damn, I was going to post the exact same thing

Melo is ing awesome! Kobe's got nothing for him...NOTHING. I love how Melo always has that big smile...he's probably thinking of all the $$$ he's gonna get next year.

[arial]

Great player yes... but he's still a little for slapping another man then running off.

[lil_penny]

Its the haircut that changed him

[atxrocker]

the dude is a ing stud, i share the opinion that he's a knucklehead and can't say i'm the biggest fan of his character but he's been killing it so far during these playoffs.

i noticed that too, looks like he's having fun out there.

Still seems like a punk and a , but there's no question that he's elevated his game, particularly in these playoffs. Offensively, he's up there with Kobe in terms of all around skill as a pure scorer, maybe even has him by a bit because he can score in the post more effectively and he gets a lot of offensive rebounds for putbacks. He can still improve on his game too, which is pretty impressive. Too bad he really is a punk.

[poop]

yes ever since the haircut he is a different man/player and im actually becoming a fan

[IronMexican]

lol Darko

[dirk4mvp]

Melo > kobe

So Kobe's still looking for respect after getting punked out by Chris Childs?

what melo did was worse. if im alone with a pal im taking nate robinson heck im even taking candice parker over melo to back me up

[JoeTait75]

The way he can score from anywhere on the court, combined with his size and his skill at offensive rebounds and putbacks... call me crazy, but the scoring side of his game reminds me of Larry Bird.

[Brazil]

lol at the lakers fans saying before the serie : Who is going to guard Kobe ? lol
Who is going to guard Melo ??

I like watching players grow into their game, and Carmelo is doing just that. The punk at ude can push me away, but he seems to have, no pun intended, mellowed.
