Like I grew up, like Melo came to the league in '03, I was 13 years old. I grew up watching Melo get a bucket however you wanted it. You wanted mid post work? First step crazy. You want a straight block work, fadeaway tough, and Melo will bully the hell outta somebody. You want the trade ball? We all know he can do that. He's just a 3-point shooter for the USA team. And we know USA Olympic Melo is crazy. Get to the free throw line. The reason I'm gonna go with Melo is actually this in specific. Mm-hmm. It's something that he did When I was playing against him, we were playing against him at the Garden. It had to be my first or second year in the league. And Melo caught the ball in the post. He faced up on me, put his shoulder into my chest. I may have fouled him a little bit, maybe not. And he went through my chest and I got the stop. He missed. I maybe fouled him, maybe not. He turned around to the referee, "Call the fucking foul!" And we go back down the court. Come back down. He did the exact same move the next play and made the referee call a foul. And the reason why that's such a big deal to me is because as a scorer, you like, you go into slumps, you have bad shooting nights. And the one thing that breaks score slumps can be a free throw. And just knowing that Melo could get to the free throw line like that, That's why I'm gonna pick Melo. But man, that's a pick 'em for real. That's like, can you go wrong with either one? I don't think so.
