Melo played 7 of his 19 years here.
Played 8 in Denver.
Should his number be retired?

Knicks retired Player numbers:

10 Clyde
12 Dick Barnett
15 Earl
15 Dick Mcguire
19 Reed
22 DeBusschere
24 Bradley
33 Ewing

Dick McGuire and Ewing are only players to not have rings. one might think this gives some wiggle room to Melo. Ewing did lead knicks to a finals in 1994. McGuire 3x in the early 50's.
McGuire is HOF, 3rd all time knick assists. Melo is 7th in points.

Yes
No

Melo - a big NO
Houston - No
Sprewell - No
Bernard - Yes —- just the efficiency, tenacity, the teams he dragged on his back and what could have been

Not sure if Starks is retired but I’d give it to him over 1st 2 guys simply for the heart/effort he brought and big moments he was a part of

Barnard: Can’t retire numbers on “what could have been”. It was too brief.
Starks, 8 seasons, one all star game and many memories.
Both gave it their all.
Have to draw a line on the sentimental/subjective vs. a standard. If you redraw it, then so be it.

Sprewell. We'd be the only team in the NBA to have a coach-choking player with a retired jersey. I say we go for it.
