Yet another low percentage, lousy chuck shot.

Never misses, and never turns it over!

Fresh air. Smelling of hot dogs, beer and Woody's clairol for men. Mixed with old white sweat from decades past. Guerin. Gallatin. Clyde. Reed. BK. Ewing. Melo.

28-15. Sing it with me...

He was a decoy for Feltons penetration and thats what sealed the game.

Thus, he gets credit for "Making others better" last nite. I like he nailed the last shot against the Heat, but he was coming off the bench and ATL was on him so why force it?

Team ball. A wonderful thing. 40 pts and he did not need to wear his ass out is better than going for 50.

No reason to go after Kings Knick accomplishment for the sake of it. Its not an NBA record. Wilt averaged 50pts a game one season!

A sample of his best best back to back:

Wilt scored 139 points in back-to-back games in 1961

78 -- Wilt Chamberlain, (Philadelphia) vs. LA Lakers 12/8/1961 (3OT).
61 -- Wilt Chamberlain (Philadelphia) vs. Chicago 12/9/1961.

He had to play a third game the following night. Don't know what he scored but it had to be at least 50 points because he had streak of 7 consecutive games of 50+ points in Dec 1961.

Wilt also had a 135 point back-to-back performance a month later.

73 -- Wilt Chamberlain (Philadelphia) vs. Chicago 1/13/1962
62 -- Wilt Chamberlain (Philadelphia) vs. Boston 1/14/1962.

He scored 62 points in his next game.

He tallied his third back-to-back 60+ game that season with 126 points.

65 -- Wilt Chamberlain (Philadelphia) vs. St Louis 2/27/1962
61 -- Wilt Chamberlain (Philadelphia) vs. Chicago 2/28/1962.

Wilt did 7 games over 50!!!!!!!

So Melo had no reason to go for it. He involved the team and did not need to go ISO to win the game.

We playing for the post season. Efficient games are a good thing!

That said, his primary competition were both Melo's size, Bill Russell and Willis Reed. When the next 2 biggest guys are 6'9 and under and you're a basketball stud from Kansas nearly 300 lbs, of course you're going to dominate the competition. Wilt's historical feats are clearly impressive, would he be able to do that in today's NBA, No. Melo probably averages 40 or 50 pts/game in the 60s and 70s too. All about Perspective.

OMG, Not another "protect MOOBY" reaction! Jeeze, Im saying its not an NBA record so why bother. Just injectiong some history as to why i APPLAUD Melo for not going for what might be a franchise record. Not bytchslapping Mooby to degrade his status as the "king lord got of starphuchs!"

Not everything is an arguement.

Different Era? No shyt!

Protect Mooby even when he is complimented!

I still don't get the infatuation with Mooby. I get it, Dogma, but still.

Sounds so corny.

Pretty corny how you run to protect Melo.

Im not transposing players in differnt eras, just talking about records.

But if we might consider if wilt was exposed to all the modern medical advances in training techniques who knows how great he would be. He could have bulked up and been a monster in any era! He still had some good centers in his career. Its not like eveyone was 6-8! Wilt had to play junior varsity and there were not many division 1 african americans playing div. 1 ball either. Melo in the 50's might not have enjoyed the benefits of playing in the spot light at age 19 nor allowed to shoot and keep shooting as thats not how the game was played. The era was tragic for many non-white players as very talented young men were not good fits for being "student athletes". Would melo have survived and thrived? Who's to say.

All im saying is GOOD FOR MELO FOR PUTTING TEAM AHEAD OF FRANCHISE RECORD THAT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO NBA RECORD!

"Mooby" is a corny name for a corny worship by fans who need to protect and uphold a premature savior!

Melo is a real good player, an all star and maybe elevates to second or 1st team all NBA but he has not played in any significant games as a knick and had his moment!

Watch a video of him "coming home" Thats corny!

Can you show us the old black and whites photos where Wilt played for the Knicks?

What's corny is anything Melo does that can possibly perceived as non-Mooby gets "quotes". Somberism feels it is a God given, inalienable right to piss in the cornflakes at any and every chance. Constantly remind us that:
1) our divison lead means sheehit
2) our conference suhucks
3) we don't win the right way
3a) We don't beat anyone of quality when they have quality on the floor at a quality time.
4) Melo's not any type of MVP except maybe for the snowbirds in Atlanta who have suffered through pointless basketball since 'Nique went to Italy, or Greece or wherever it was.
5) Melo's a loser and always will be.
6) Win streaks and .600 ball is a just a corny mirage that the feeble minded can sit and yell "Go Knicks" at.
7) Anything accomplished up to this day is meaningless because there are more games to be played. Watch the games.

Who cares what Wilt did 60 years ago, when there were 12 teams in the league and he was routinely getting smacked with the Loser Taser by Russell? Melo is here, now. On the Knicks. Now.

Coming Home is an affront to any self-respecting sport afficianado. I believe we Homers get that. I also say, tough darts farmer. Still, Melo came here wondering if he could wear BK's number, and obviously decided against it. The fact that he would have matched a nice Knick jewel that we are all still talking about (NBA record or no) 30 years later probably cuts against the grain for those of the Somber/Centrist caste. Why tarnish a nice family home video by some punk nephew's successful attempts at potty training?
