    It's funny he refers to himself as "the leader of the team." That's his problem- he thinks he's the best player on the team. If he was unselfish he would realize that Lin made the Knicks better than he ever did.

    You have to remember the Knick's were bad. Carmelo was bad before Lin showed up. He seemingly was overweight at times. The Knick's were out by a few games from the last playoff spot. Carmelo was being highlighted back then. That is when it started.

    I honestly can't remember. Well it was worse than I thought. But you are correct that the selfish thing goes way back before Lin.

    One thing about Melo, is that he actually believes in everything he says. Like he's the leader of the team; like Michelle Obama is a Melo fan (btw, the president himself wants to play one-on-one with Lin - Melo would be so jealous if that happens); like he had nothing to do with D'Antoni's departure; like no one ever called himself selfish before; like he's the victim of all the dramas involving him...

    Also, the terms often used to describe Melo are "ball stopper" and "ball hogger". He doesn't know they can be interpreted as "selfish".

    Melo has a "selfish" label because he's selfish.

    Lin is lucky to leave the Knicks. He might smell the jealousy there before he signed with us.

    Man, scoring 37 points in 14 minutes against those Nigerians must have really gone to his head..

    Imagine if Morey had traded the fam for Melo... I hope Morey's learnt the lesson.

    Melo is proven winner while Lin is not even proven starter in this league.

    NCAA champion, never missed playoffs in his career. Even Lebron and Kobe can't say that.
