My friend wrote this article on the moment & the "17 Words" that Melo eloquently spoke.

The long arms of Melo and the Knicks have reached all the way down to Florida to show respect and pay tribute to another fallen son in the streets. Good for Melo and the Knicks. Always good to see athletes put action behind their words...

Very nice of him to do this. Also loved what the Heat did as well.

He signed the Jersey for Trayvon's brother "I am Trayvon Martin".

Melo earned real respect with his gesture to this family. This is what stars ought to do with their fame.

Noble gesture from Melo, indeed. Yet another reason why I hoped that the Knicks would have won.

Miami gets props for their gesture as well, but I still HATE that team basketball-wise.
