I had been looking forward to this show, but I only caught one segment–and it highlighted players from the 2004 team who were on the 2008 team–Carmelo, Dwayne, and LeBron.
But no Carlos. Unquestionably, this was no mere oversight. This was an intentional exclusion to highlight three SportsCenter stars. Now, I don’t deny Dwayne Wade and LeBron James have earned their right to be in the spotlight, but ever since leading Syracuse to a national title in ‘03, what has ‘Melo done?
CARMELO ANTHONY IS THE MOST OVERRATED PLAYER IN THE NBA.
I had to write that in bold and in all caps because the message is not getting through, despite subpar season after subpar season in Colorado. And as Denver sits on the verge of no longer being a playoff team (Yes, Denver will not make the playoffs in 2009; you read it here first–they simply will be unable to beat out the Trail Blazers and either the Warriors or Clippers, depending on who gets Brand; and don’t forget this all happening with the “dream pairing” of AI and Melo … sorry, AI, you straight up got traded to a stinker), Carmelo, occupying a place on a team on which he doesn’t deserve to be, is getting serious face time on ESPN. Meanwhile, Deron Williams, a legitimate star, can occasionally be seen in the background. And Carlos Boozer, who should have been interviewed along with those guys, … well, he is basically forgotten.
ONE OTHER NOTE: The show also shows Kobe Bryant telling how moved he was to finally put on a USA jersey, a supposed long-time dream of his. Yeah, it was so a long-time dream and so personally important that he has flaked off the Dream Team his entire career! What a bunch a crap! This is 2,030,232nd reason to hate Kobe Bryant.

Haha who wrote this? What has Carmelo done? Not much, just be in the top5 in scoring each of the last two years and brought his team to the playoffs. The Denver NBA scene has been completely transformed and rejuvenated and the franchise turned around ever since Melo got here. He is the only reason that happened.
Utah Jazz doesnt get face-time because the team is boring. Boozer has no personality, thats why they dont put him on television. That and he has craters all over his face and shaves his arm pits, haha how funny.
Lastly, i will bet you $1000 right now the Nuggets make the playoffs in ‘09. Reply to this post with contact info and we will exchange information.
The point of that section of the show was to hilight the 3 guys who have been on the team since 2004. Boozer has not. He played in 2004, then did not play the last 3 years, and now has come back to the team. The other three guys have been playing with the team for the last 4 years straight through. It has nothing to do with Sportscenter or anything like that. If you paid attention you would have noticed that.
Melos ok he’s like a role player with a bit more he might get knocked in 2009 with the up and coming blazers or a revamped clippers rockets or golden state
