Have we talked about Carmelo’s podcast with Mero? Because it’s pretty enjoyable. Desus and Mero used to talk about Melo, and had him on their show a few years back. They had a falling out, but now Melo is doing a podcast with Mero. Here’s him talking about Kiyan a bit.

We adapt as we go. It's the right attitude - the comment about shortcuts seems spot on with how a lot of people look at getting to the league. And why they may fall short in the end.

The new episode is great, Melo talks a ton about George Karl. He said Karl told him he’s overrated, one of the first times they talked, lol. Starts around the 70 minute mark.

I don't care for George Karl. He seems like a first class douche. He got results for the most part though....give him that. Of course he did also manage to take that Supersonic team and lose to the Nuggets as a 1 seed against a 8. A near impossible task up 2 games to none.

His teams did well, but at the same time - he had Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp in Seattle. Had Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson, and Sam Cassell in Milwaukee. And had Carmelo in Denver. And as Melo said - he hated basically all those guys! lol.

He did seem to hate everyone - at least he seemed to get off on trashing them publically.

In that segment above, Carmelo said Karl told him that he hated George Gervin when he played with him, because Gervin wouldn’t pass him the ball. So Melo said it all clicked for him there that his attitude of disliking the star scorer was basically embedded in Karl.

I did love that Sonics team though!

I did love that Sonics team though! Those Sonics were good and fun to watch. I maintain that Shawn Kemp is on the short list of greatest game dunkers ever. Payton/Kemp was just an elite duo. Detlef was a heck of a 3rd guy. Always liked Hersey Hawkins. And stocky late career Sam Perkins reinventing himself as a 3 point bomber - he was ahead of his time. and my Lakers went 2-0 in the playoffs against them, so they never bothered me! Nick Van Exel going for 35 in the clincher of the 95 playoffs was a huge deal for me!
