Why did you leave out Allan Houston and Spree? They should be in the conversation, I believe.

i don't know know maybe because they played with Ewing and JVG when we had a good team. They didn't necessarily have a winning career after JVG left. In fact lottery years. They were not superstars only borderline allstars. Melo is a star and this Knick team would be the 1st or 2nd seed in the East if Woodson started the year

Loved Spree and Houston, but like Guns mentioned they were both a tier below Melo. Houston was a great shooter with the "Bounce that went in". Spree had that good playoff run in '99, but neither he or Houston were of the caliber of Anthony.

How can I forget Gallinari he is better than Melo and Lebron combined!

This guy, Melo, he's on a little spurt, no surprise, we've seen stuff like this before. Shit, even Stephon Marbury had a few good runs.

But the long run? Don't lose sight of the big picture. In the long run, Melo ain't doin' nothin' for you.

That's a bit extreme. I still would have preferred Paul or Howard but I definitely like Melo as our PF of the future.

Might seem extreme now, but my eye for the game, my feel for the hoops, this can't be denied, IT CAN'T BE IGNORED.

I don't see anything good or healthy, or enjoyable, or fun, in the future for this team.

Serious question: when Melo hit those shots yesterday, were you happy or sad?

Sad. I've been rooting against Melo and the Knicks since MDA was fired.

And I haven't even watched an entire quarter, total, since I don't know when.

Sometimes I ask myself what I am still doing here, but I cannot let my people go.

Wow. Have fun with the Raptors next year.

That's all I needed to read. Nothing to see here, move along.

Melo has not done anything as a Knick.

His career has him at a higher tier than Spree and H20 but we have not won a playoff game with him yet. 90 games with him playing about .500 ball?

Not saying its his "Fault" but not ready to label him a "Knick Star".

If he goes in the Hall of fame tomorrow he goes in as a KNugg, not a KNick.

He had his first moment coming up big in a big moment in an important game for us.

Its a start!

Thats fair but in general you can't call H20 & Spree superstars because they accomplished nothing once Ewing & JVG left. Think they beat Toronto in the 1st round the first year lost in the 2nd. Then lost to Toronto in the 1st round. And that was the end of our playoff run for a lonnng while

What did Ewing or JVG have to do with getting to the Finals in '99? Ewing looked great in a suit, and JVG's insistence on Charlie Football and starting Chris Dudley over anyone else in the solar system? We're not talking about careers, the topic is who's had any better moments in a Knick uniform since Ewing?

Spree's games was electric at both ends of the floor.

I definitely give you credit for being honest.
