Ah yes trading kanter and McDermott for melo now makes the very good defensive team bad at defense

Can't play Kanter because he's so good on defense it's unfair to the other team.

Russ is indecisive it would appear, which is a bad character trait to have for a superstar. Someone tell Presti I won't hesitate to sign a $207 million extension RIGHT NOW and get to work immediately.

Out of curiosity, how do you make these? Search in the play finder for Carmelo plays with 10+ dribbles and a missed shot at the end?

It is unfortunately a trade secret. I do wish there was a public database of video that would allow you to search by number of dribbles.

When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.

It's hard to acquire this kind of elite talent in 2017 when even most rookie players have been coached on basic skills like ball movement.

I really don't think you have to be all that specific with Carmelo these days. Just type "Carmelo Anthony playing basketball" into youtube or google and probably 90% of the results would be 10 dribble bricks.

Instead of "the hop" before a jumper, Melo has the "gently tap the floor like a dog testing a surface before gingerly extending his full weight."
That's the toe tap of a pained man

When the best three point shooter on your team is your center then it's probably wise to scheme around chasing down all the missed shots you're going to be making.

Nearly all of these are at the end of the clock, or time-killing situations, so they're not hard to find. They are called isolation plays where they want to make sure the shot is coming as close to the end of the shot clock as possible. This is a compilation of "Carmelo doing what the coach is calling for given the situation". Seems a bit disingenuous to criticize the player for that.

It's weird how good I feel about the NBA in general. The league obviously has some real issues but gently caress it's so good compared to any other sport. Everything in the last week seems so oddly positive and meaningful in the world of dumb sports bullshit.
