"Carmelo was a true conundrum for me in the six years I had him. He was the best offensive player I ever coached. He was also a user of people, addicted to the spotlight and very unhappy when he had to share it.

He really lit my fuse with his low demand of himself on defense. He had no commitment to the hard, dirty work of stopping the other guy. My ideal — probably every coach's ideal — is when your best player is also your leader. But since Carmelo only played hard on one side of the ball, he made it plain he couldn't lead the Nuggets, even though he said he wanted to. Coaching him meant working around his defense and compensating for his attitude" - georgr karl in his new book. Ouch

Sounds something kevin mchale will write about harden in 10 years

"I want as much effort on defense — maybe more — as on offense," Karl wrote. "That was never going to happen with Melo, whose amazing ability to score with the ball made him a star but didn't make him a winner. Which I pointed out to him. Which he didn't like."

 

[Paulius]

He also called the trio of Anthony, J.R. Smith and Kenyon Martin "AAU babies," noting they were like "the spoiled brats you see in junior golf and junior tennis."

He wrote of Anthony and Martin: "Kenyon and Carmelo carried two big burdens: all that money and no father to show them how to act like a man."

This is like the roast on comedy central

 

[Mexi]

Karl also said that his players didn't listen to him because they didnt have fathers

Edit: oh last post has it

Karl is just trying to sell books. Everyone was happy when he left each place. Says a lot about him

 

[Paulius]

Yea i agree. His only dope stint was with the sonics back in the day

 

[CameronCrazy06]

[Pugz]

[Mexi]
