She always talking like she reading a fairytale😂
Lolol
This is the comment I never thought I needed lol
Wow she really do. Never noticed it before.
I mean in a way the stories of these players and their journeys are fairy tales... not all have a happy ending tho
😆
and we love it
I'm just happy to see Melo back in the NBA doing his thing.
U everywhere bruh. URL, ESPN, etc. Salute
No doubt, salute to you as well my G.
Twizz The Whiz Kid bro we be on battle rap and espn
Humble is ninja and he realizes what he had good
Do you see how Lebron is skinny like Durant is during his rookie and college years? Then as time went on he suddenly got more bulk. I seriously think he takes and has taken steroids to get some much muscle.
I’m sorry i almost died when he said “ doc move kg to the 5 and me to the bench” hahahahah😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
lol. this brother trolling himself.
@@Kevin_de_viliers facts thats a man content with his legacy
THOSE TWO IN THERE PRIMES TOGETHER WITH DWADE WOULDVE BEEN EPICCCCC!!!
EastSide Flo would’ve never worked out
Melo's ball-stopping would have ruined everything.
Nope
Duane Crooms you on drugs
thsu8 u dnt believe he would’ve made sacrifices like everyone else?
I knew I wasn’t the only one getting teary eyed and eating noodles
Alahno Tucker lol had ramen 🍜 earlier today
“We talking bout teams that won championships”
Uncalled for 😂
Cold blooded but true.
😲
"Moved Kevin Garnett to the 5 and me to the bench" bruhhh big difference 💀
Rachel always gives good intros to topics, she does a great job
She my favorite
Clips 36 I love Rachel she is very cute and adorable looking lady
Carmelo had his chance to join the Miami Heat with LeBron and Wade . He made the biggest mistake that year but he wanna take the money and resign with the Knicks Soo..... It’s his decision. Every grown man make there own decison’s.... Can’t argue with that!!!!
I would have taken the five also. Hard to blame him
You sound like a privileged white boy. It’s different when u come from the hood
It’s so much bigger that. The reason he took the 5 year instead of the 3 was to supplement income from a mistake he made earlier in his career. The biggest mistake in Melo’s career was signing and endorsement deal with Team Jordan. The pay cut Bron and Wade took to play with each other was possible because they had huge deals with Nike and Converse respectfully to cover that shortfall. Melo not having a shoe as popular as those two caused him to be more reliant on his player income.
erik bray STOP that bs. I can tell you not from the hood cuz that’s not how most people from the hood feel.
@@robsmith6650, 7 mil not enough to live for rest of their life? lol.
Melo deserves a ring man but he's still a legend so it's all good
Melo was a good player but I feel "legendary" needs to be held at a higher standard
Melo is basketball's only triple Olympic champion.
@@xelitecody4603 the man average 20ppg for 15 season straight only 4 other players im history has done that . Of course melo is legendary
@@xelitecody4603 he's a legend stop it
@@MrGenexxx hes also one of the few that brought back a bronze.
Yooo i had never seen this clip 00:39
Word lebron real for that
Brotherhood is real for him
Yeah same here i even tried looking for the clip. Lebron a real friend even back as a teen.
Melo deserves a ring but he's still a legend in my book
In hindsight, we can ask the question of "What if Melo and LeBron teamed up?" But players of their caliber teaming up was unheard of at that time. Especially if they're from the same draft class.
But wade amd bron did it
Roddy White I’m saying 😂😂
You know magic and karreem -bird and his whole team-jordan pippen rodman-shaq penny-
I know Wade, Bron, and Bosh did it, and the reception from basketball fans wasn't that accepting. Which is probably why Melo didn't want to team up.
If LeBron signed to the Knicks in 2010 and Melo was traded there a year later 🔥🔥
Glad Perk stopped saying "uhhhh" after every sentence.
Brandeaus yea that’s hit kills me when listening to people talk on KRplus videos.
The league just would’ve been superteamed faster
That Ray Allen shot was the second championship Rachel geez...lol
Iknow no one corrected her 🙄🤮
@@johnnybeatmaker330 thats the US Journalism for ya.
@@jimmywpavlovic chill on my country ha
I love hearing Perkins take, every time!
Carmelo is an amazing human humble man nothing but love here
Arguably Paul Pierce is one of the greatest players ever. Arguably
- Paul "The LIE" Pierce
"Allegedly"
He is
@@roddywhite4161 arguably*
😂😂🤣🤣🔥💯
He is one of the greatest player ever..You trippin
love these intros man. Rachael is amazing.
Love when Kendrick Perkins is on these shows 😂
Melo messed that up when lebron n wade reached out to him
Facts
Schauncy North facts no printer
So true
He aint wana ez chip
Dox Diggla well he is ringlets
Perk the man keeps it 💯
This is why I love the jump
I'm just happy to see Melo back in the NBA
That introduction indeed. Perfect.
melo is my favorite in their draft class. traditional power forward with decent jump shot that compliments his inside game that is why he is hard to guard.
small forward
so much wrong with this comment. melo is a small forward. also his jump shot was always lethal until recent years. not decent.
You can tell this guy just started watching Melo making up stories to fit in 🤦♂️
@@Hawkeyes319 yeah you have no idea what your talking about melo has always been a smallforward. Since they game went to small ball hes been playing pf but thats the game now
LeBron looked 35 his whole life?
Anthony S 🤣🤣
He looks the best he ever looks now to me just my opinion please don’t come at me y’all
@RESERVES he looks 49 now tho
I love Rachel's intro🔥
Guess who was in the stands wearing his jersey? Looks like the mascot had just brought it to him...
Best brotherhood we’ve seen in the league!
Melo, Lebron and wade wouldA won 4 straight.
I don't think so... I feel like it would be similar to Westbrook, George, and Melo 2 years ago - each guy is trying to create an offense on their own leaving the other two on an island. That's why Bosh worked so well in Miami - he did dirty work (i.e. setting screens and offensive rebounds) but could also play off-ball and nail threes.
M ehhh
Neil Sashti nah bro, the only thing lebron is bashed is not having that killer mentality and clutch closer..well melo is all of that..they would have beaten the mavs and the spurs the first time around
LOL no they wouldn’t.If you watched the Heat over the years Bosh was the difference maker in close series. The Heat saw how much he meant when they nearly lost to the Pacers and would’ve lost to the Celtics in 2012 had Bosh not returned from his mid-section injury to stop them Rondo to KG lobs as the Heat were wayyy to small. And Bosh hit the closing three in game 7 over KG. Chris Bosh would’ve been a top 7-15 player in todays NBA had he not had the blood clot. In 2015-2016 the Heat lost to the Raptors sans Bosh and Whiteside, they would’ve won that series with a healthy Bosh and I’d say have a 35-45% chance to beat the Cavs in the ECF. Dragic Wade Deng Bosh and Whiteside gave Bron and the Cavs issues that season. Bron is diffrent tho so i’d give the Cavs the edge solely because of the King.
Dats a paddlin but to REPLACE bosh with Melo would prob be less successful. The chemistry and balance among roles was already difficult as it is bc wade and bron were so ball dominant. Luckily they are both so extremely versatile (especially wade OFF THE BALL) that they figured it out. I don’t think Melo has that versatility. In his prime he was too much of a ball stopper to sufficiently replace the cohesion. Remember after the 2011 finals the heat started finishing like top 2 or 3 is team assists per game every season thereafter. The finals with the spurs showcased two of the most selfless basketball teams I’ve ever seen in my life (Pre-KD Golden state also comes to mind). I don’t think Carmelo makes that team better than Bosh.
"I've known him longer than I didn't"
That's deeper than I thought
K.Perkins always shows his ring🤗
Rachel has got to be my favorite ESPN host. Her intros are great and jokes on point
☑️ Mello & Bron
*love that brotherhood*
Wow love this love Nba I hope can watch again live
Perk dropping the mic at the end there!
If Melo was on that heat team they would’ve won in 2011 against the mavs
wardisan10 no they would have won if Lebron didn’t play like that that’s was all on bron even as a Lebron fan that was bad
Laker Nation LeBron was still a little better than Kobe in 04 tho
whitemamba1656 😂😂😂😂😂
@@John-jm4nv kobe shot 38% and 15% from 3 lol
That mavs team was stacked plus dirk was on a mission that year
Nice dig at the end.
i like the vibes this show puts off
Kendrick Perkins with the supreme flex!
Good observations, Basketball will always be a competitive game....even epic among superstars that last a career, but true friends remain through your ups and downs. They appear to have a mutual vested interest in each other life!
They are also the only 2 active players left from the 03 draft class
Kyle Korver
Zaza Pachulia? Is he still playing
King Kev he is not
Ik I was missin somebody
Duh Kyle korver
"EEEEEEERRRRRRRRBODY showed up... Jay-z , Ken Griffey Jr......" 🙄
Hype
You know when Ken Griffey Jr there it's LIT 😂
Perkins was also drafted in 03'
Well we about to see😳
two people are casual friends for 17 years = earth shattering, heart-stopping story... to ESPN
It’s just another game no pressure play team ball no egos showing there growth within the games and making there team shine while being a key factor
It obviously not the same thing, but they did play together for Team USA in '04, '08, and '12
Rachel is so dope. Respect for shout out to bosh. He was important for that heat team
Perkins final comment was SAVAGE!!! Talking about teams that won championships. 😂😂
Kendrick Perkins says "We are talking about people who won championships" at 6:10 is deadly AF lol, trolled himself first then D'Antoni
Lebron-Wade was amazing in the open court. Lebron-Melo would’ve been amazing in the half court
All I know is, when I put them both on the same team in 2K, lights out.
That rebound and 3 from Ray won their 2nd title, right?
I was looking for this comment right when she said it.
@@JUSTIN_SZN I looked for it too haha didn't see it so I figured I had to be "that guy"
You act like lebron was getting carried by them
People forgot about Chris Bosh’s offensive rebound and “the assist “. He could run out like Jr Smith did, thought we are heading
No that wasn't the final game of the series. It helped push it to game 7 where Lebron had 35 in game 7
They should’ve been facing each other in the finals every year since they debuted in the league. That would’ve made more sense
Agree
Ever heard of that guy Kobe Bryant
LAKERS & SPURS AINT EXIST IN YOUR MIND BOY. WAT ABOUT THE SUNS LOL. KIDS AGAIN
One thing Miami Heat lacked was a CLOSER. Prime Melo would’ve been that guy in 4th quarter when you need that bucket.
He could have helped Lebraham lose more finals than he did.
@@captinbeyond cap
I don’t know why, but I enjoy Perk as an analyst.
Cuz he sleep on the Timberwolves with the box fan on
Kendrick perkins - tracy mcgrady - vince carter-(alex caruso) Are the talkshowGOATS
The way Rachel talk you wouldn’t even think Kendrick and them sitting right there
If melo was on the heat, they would never lost against the mavs
I would much rather seen Lbj team up with melo instead of wade 💯🗣
Its crazy how they play exactly the same as they do now
I think the suns with Nash were the ones who invented small ball when Amare played center.
Rachel's daily monologues are special.
Melo stayed in Denver too long and then he stayed in NY too long... I would love to see Melo with Golden state... Melo, Curry, clay would be crazy
He went to WCF in denver which is better than what he accomplished in NY aside from being the top scorer in 2013. If anything he should've stayed in Denver or went to the Bulls.
That would have been the same as KD with warriors with less defense
I’m pretty sure that was the second title. They already beat the Thunders the year before. Facts man, facts... that’s what makes arguments. And Perk was on the Thunders team and didn’t even correct her 🤦🏾♂️ lol
The bigger what if is what if the Pistons drafted him into a culture of team first and defense? Would Melo have grown into an all time great?
Perkins is awesome
She said that their first ring was from that first year against the spurs but they beat the thunder the prior year
Melo as a fourth option 35 year old is playing better then guys in his postion like kevin love, blake griffin, porzingis, and draymond green. Guys which are in 100+ mill contracts and melo gets paid minium. But somehow people believed hes "unplayable".
Blake griffen?? Ya buggin hes scoring 20 on second string defense relax urself, with that said im glad hes still playing
@@MrMvpron22 Blake griffin is shooting 41% scoring 1 more point as a main option and avgs less rebounds. Tf you on about
If they teamed up it would've been the 2016 finals every night
The Ray Allen shot was their second title. They beat OKC For their first ring
Rachel Nichols talked about LeBron & Melo's friendship perfectly 👌🏼
Cavs should have traded Kevin love for him in 2017
T J in 2017? You smoking. Kevin Love helped Cavs a lot
Tris Matu he’ll nahh love asf
I think Mello would conformed to a system with LeBron just because of the amount of respect he has for him 💯
I don't wanna talk about this. .they had the perfect opportunity to do so....y'all can keep this...
The biggest "what if?" is by far and away the Thunder and their roster of 3 MVP's
Now hes with him this next season
I almost cried too no lie
They would have been a great fit actually. You would have got the best version of Melo on both ends
Why, Why, Why, Why, Why, Why, Why, Why,
ESPN, did you make a grown man cry????
Melo was supposed to sign with Miami instead of Chris Bosh. Glad it was Bosh in the end though not gonna lie, he was a far better complementary piece for LeBron and D-Wade.
Am I the only one who thinks Rachel Nichols sounds like she's reading a Persuasive essay 90% of the time she talks?
Love & Musick she’s so annoying
TBH Melo's game mesh well with LeBron. He also may have played better defense with LeBron. I still say they would still need a rim defender and a spot up 3pt shooter to compliment those two.
I Think the Time is Now it's Never too Late Maybe Next year They should Team Up it would be a Great Ending Both of Them
rachel is a rlly good speaker
Rachel Nichols you're forgetting the year they beat the thunder. So that shot from Ray Allen got them their two-peat...if they lost it wouldn't have been two losses in a row.
I miss Chris Bosh so much 😭😭😭
Facts
Now they are team mates
bro rachel gon make me cry
Biggest what if isn't that, its d rose no injuries🌹🌹
I dont think if melo played for miami in the finals against san antonio they will need this crazy rebound and 3 pointer from Allen
Should touch on the Olympics also!
I dunno if its true but I heard that before Lebron joined the Heat he considered joining the Bulls with D.Rose imagine this team Prime D.Rose as PG Prime D.Wade as SG LBJ as SF and Carmelo Anthony as a PF If only this players was assembled to a one team they might've won 2 or 3 more championships
FYI Boshs rebound to allen didn't help win them their first title. That was their second title after beating okc 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
It would’ve been like Kobe & Tracy mcGrady
If they teamed up, Rings and Buckets!
Rachel N can you take Molly Q’s spot I’m sure you can do both shows! Sports needs it! Tv needs it! 😂😂😂
