When Melo has his moment, there will be more love. Bernard King was here only 2.5 years but knicks had a good playoff run one year and he had back to back 50 pt games. There was little hype when he came so his "Rebirth" as a player and emergence as a "Star" was in the Mecca.

Melo was bought in and MSG Moobititized the Starphuch! Problem was the trade depleted the roster. Problem was you had a ball movement coach and Melo is not that player. Problem was the bench was toast.

Nalod did not like the trade and was not a fan of Melo in Denver.

But.........

Despite his diva act with MDA the guy has played hurt, played at a high level and has been a solid guy so while Im not on the FishMike Love Train I am hopeful of the future.

If Phil is fine with Melo then its good enough for me. If he was not I doubt he would have came to NY or he would have tried to trade him or let him walk.

So I put my faith in the Zenmaster before the 3-4 Melohaters here.

I don't care what he has done in his career prior even as a knick, this is about moving forward. While I don't expect to transform Melo as he did Jordan, or groom him as he did Kobe I do expect a better Melo going forward. what can I say, you pay a guy 120 mil I don't see why he can't raise the bar.

Larry had his moment, Bernard has his moment, Ewing was a lifer, and even H20 has his!
