Kobe said winning gold in 08 meant more to him than the 3 chips he had, then four years later after winning another 2!!! He said winning a second gold was more special due to the fact your representing your country and competing in another Olympics rarely happens!! Man shut up this should’ve even be a topic, when is this show going talk about sports and not the drama in sports or coming up with click bate topics

Alot of doctor Phil excuses for melo because he feels. Instead actually talking the facts of the importance of an 100 game title or a 4 week gold medal handout

Melo just don’t have the teammates MJ, Tim, Shaq, Kobe, Dirk, Giannis, Lebron, Steph, Klay, Kawhi, Tatum, and the benchwarmers of those teams who got rings despite benchwarmers Olympians are chosen to represent their countries, pro or amateur. Melo got a point, it is ain’t about money, it is team of the country and win a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, get it, SAS and SHAY!!!

Carmelo can’t be wrong about his opinion but SAS and Shannon can’t have a wrong opinion? What kind of hypocrisy is this😂😂😂
In my opinion, the sky is purple…(I’ll get multiple people that won’t correct me but say “That’s how you feel or it’s your opinion” 😂😂

NBA champion overrated, other sports it’s a team game, in nba media wants black stars to fail only one team wins a year and they still get discredited. Melo showed loyalty to nuggets and still hated. Melo would have got discredited if he joined LeBron, lose-lose by racist design

Prime Zeke would be an all-star in any era of NBA. It’s under 5 point guards in the history of basketball who are arguably better.

Stephen A said: “if you had won a championship you would know winning an NBA championship is far more illustrious than winning the gold medal”. Melo went to the finals and lost and went to Olympics and won gold few times. I’m pretty sure he has more perspective than the average Joe meaning us fans and Stephen A himself
