I picked Cuse to win the NCAA Chip his lone season there... Melo won me a shitload of cash (for a broke college kid, anyway) so I will always be a fan simply for that
I'm a huge Syracuse fan that suffered through the curse and was pleasantly surprised that Melo could save the 'cuse legacy.
Love boeheim is with him in London to remind him of his last championship.
Hated him for the role he played in the fight with the knicks (turned out to be nates fault and jr is forgive as well)
I have been reminded of his heroics since he's been a Knicks.
In just over a year on the team he's won games by dominating the entire game, a half and just the last 5 minutes.
He's carried the team against the celtics in the playoffs after he lost amare (starting all star pf) and billups (starting championship mvp pg) and nearly got a couple of wins.
This last year he opened the season beating the hated celtics and we were on our way.
I'm pumped we have 2 players on the Olympic team. And I'm really looking forward to Melo doing for the Knicks what he did for cuse.
Win a title and turn non believers into believers again.
Go Knicks. Go New York. Go Melo!
"Melo has been received with open arms by both the faithful and the causal fan."
Are you kidding ? Where have you been since THE trade ? So many people can't stand Melo, dislike the man and the player. I don't even root for him when he wears the orange and blue, so I couldn't care less if he was on an other team...
Melo better start playing team ball this season if we want to contend
