Carmelo tells the truth great explanation

The GOAT conversation in basketball is a battle between the game and the marketing of the game. KD is a scoring machine- period. But playing in OKC with the players around him and a system that was constantly abandoned was not optimizing his talent. That's not his fault. Even when he was in Golden State and was approached about Pat Bev "stopping him," he addressed it by saying he was working in the flow of the offense...then came out and got 50! Machine and one of the purest scorers ever! You have to give him some props considering he scores a bunch from outside...just like MJ and Kobe are two guards who are tops all-time in scoring among big men. That shows how special they are.

It's not KD's job/responsibility/obligation to make the league more "competitive." He had an opportunity in front of him to get the things he wants in life, and that's what EVERY MAN should do. When you pass on opportunities because of the wrong reasons (e.g., peer pressure, public opinion, etc.), then you're giving away the limited amount of power/control you have to direct your life where you want it to go. In other words, you lose in the game of life.

Well said, end of discussion.

We will forever debate it since what he did has impact on two other greats. So many scenarios and the fans are divided and the media knows it and will keep throwing it out there since it’s something we can always say what if. At the end of the day we all know the impact all three have on the game. We should debate on who had a better 3 like Bron KD Curry at any era at the same time. Put that up there but that doesn’t sale or generate revenue cause we are more focused on what we have witnessed. Curry and those 3 points and range is a whole new world of its own. Lebron for 21 years from the hype at such age has the biggest success history. KD just a whole different built scoring machine that nobody has ever seen before. Whatever base you support at the end still appreciate for them to be witnessed on the greatest stage in the biggest screens.

Here’s the reason KD is not in the GOAT convo. Whoever was in the GOAT convo before KD’s question (why am I not in the convo?) never had to ask the media were they in the GOAT convo. If you gotta ask , you NOT it. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Really the injuries kilt a lot of his chances from really havin around 4 to 5 rings total if we really think about it

While I ADMIRE KD's confidence..He's definitely not in the 🐐 conversation. The FACT that Steph Curry the 🐐 Shooter of ALLTime is not considered the Goat himself even though he won a ring 💍 before & after KD came to Golden State X'es KD out of the convo.

Melo…KD absolutely cares what fans say. He replies to strangers all day long. Melo you a true friend but stop bruh clearly your bias as hell.

Trade mark that Melo!! Love the brothers perspective on the topic.

Does Dymond wish that?

Carmelo Anthony is on the goat list as well

Melo only sayin that so it would put him in the conversation

Will kd win a championship a regular season mvp a scoring title or anything after gs?

KD 🐐🌟 don't hate

I was about to say .. If mellow says your buckets are pure Then who's going to argue

Aside from stats, skills, and accolades, being a GOAT should translate to winning in the NBA as the best player in a team. KD won 2 chips as the best player with the GSW. So he should be in the conversation. Those who argue that he only won because he joined a stacked GSW roster who was the champs before and had the best regular season record ever, probably has never been the best player in a team and won a chip.

Kd 🎉

i dont like when old heads say people should be in the conversation they know will never be considered a goat. like its mj and lebron. anyone else isnt in the conversation and will never be above those 2. so lets not waste time talkng about them. and no one with 2 chips and 1 mvp will ever be above mj or bron and even if lebron and mj only had 2 chips, kd had them on the greatest team ever and vs in 2018 one of the worst teams to ever make the finals. the fact bron was in the finals in 2018 is better than kd even winning it.

@@H0VA MJ beat a injured lakers team, a bum suns team compared to all the teams lebron played and the jazz and super sonics were good all time teams but nothing compared to those bulls teams or the all time spurs or warriors. MJ didnt win a single playoff series without pippen while lebron took 2 bum cavs teams to the finals. if MJ had lebrons career path he maybe would be 5 for 8 at best in the finals because i cant defend the 2011 series and MJ prob wouldve won that but he wouldnt have made it to the finals in 2007 or 2018 and making the finals those years are worth more than the suns and lakers chip MJ has to me. MJ had one of the best coaches of all time, one of the best shooters of all time and a top 3 defensive player of all time with the best robin to a batman of all time. scottie pippen was in the mvp race when MJ left and the bulls were 1 win away from the finals, when lebron left the cavs and heat, both teams went to the worst teams in the league. yes they lost more than just lebron but everyone knows both teams wouldnt even make the playoffs or be a 1st round exit without bron. lebron is the better passer, rebounder, shoots a higher FG%, has done more with less and has played against the most competition out of any player in nba history. the league now is better in everyway from defensive schemes to offensive threats. thats not MJs fault but its how time works, things get better overtime as more things are learned and more resources are had. Lebron did more in a harder era vs harder competition for a longer period of time. MJ is a better pure scorer and has a better winning finals record and thats all. if you take into account context and look at everything as a totality and not inside boxes, it is very obvious lebron is the greatest player of all time when it comes to basketball and plays the game how it was meant to be played and better. switch their careers and lebron goes 6 for 6 easily as well and doesnt retire and goes onto win 8-9 straight. put MJ on lebrons teams and he realistically wins in 2011 but loses to the spurs both times and maybe even OKC and loses to the 73 win warriors so ill say he goes 3 for 8 in the finals not even making it in 2018 and 2007.

He is the best bucket getter because of his height and shooting abilities. The only reason why he wasn't considered by many is that he joined the best team in the league to get 2 rings. He can score at will he's just not an elite defender. MJ is the best two way player. Hands down.

Right but he is a goat for sure n he took them back to back. Smart business move on kd. He is an elite defender fyi. Not as much now but overall definitely

Melo get yo drunk ass on somewhere KD is not in the conversation period

Whether u like his career or not, his game is for sure goat

This guy is 7ft with the craziest bag as a scorer in NBA history I don't understand why some people feel great putting other people down somehow But to a lot of people there's no denying just the raw talent and his impact to winning He's mentality He's love for the game He's impact to a lot of great NBA players (he's the favorite player to your favorite player) He should definitely be in that (G. O. A. T) conversation Even though to me MJ is the baddest mf that ever played Kobe is close but apart from those two I would pick KD on my team first probably 9 times out of 10 every single time

KD IN MY TOP 10. NEVER SEEN A PLAYER LIKE HIM. ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS EVER.

Everybody talking about kd going from team to team he gotta do what best for him no me or nobody else Micheal Jordan ain’t win 6rings by himself he had a team that didn’t get credit plus kd always dominated he just had players around him who always come up short in clutch

Media was calling MJ the goat after 1 title in 1991 then the goal post kept moving

@ the 9:15 mark Melo said it best if Kevin Durant dont go to GS that year LeBron would of got 2 more rings and that's why the media is mad the LeBron James side of the media because Kevin Durant stop LeBron James from getting two more rings in the media really wanted him to get that so they can keep that Jordan and LeBron James thing going on with rings

If you don’t play basketball you will never know why kd is a goat 😂

No , and THERES ONLY ONE GOAT 🐐 there’s no such thing as many being the GREATEST OF ALL TIME.. you can be a GREAT not a GOAT .. THE GREATEST IS A SINGULAR, ONE , NOT 2 or More
