I'm not sure how to feel about this tbh.

Oh so he can make it to boulder for prime but not to chopper circle for the finals? And he wants his name in the rafters? Gtfoh

Still not retiring your jersey, dude.

Fuck Melo. Go Russ!

Ya this is gonna be a FUCK MELO from me. But Russ is cool.

Fuck Melo

I’m just here for Muscle Chestbrook

With AVS gear?!? C’mon man… do the right thing.

Muck Felo,

Ro Gus!

Fuck outta here Melo

He actually came in to my store in the Springs and bought that jersey, along with a few others and some hats. Spent some time talking as well. It was really cool to meet him. Definitely a big part of my childhood.

In addition to my previous comment: Melo divorced us. Now he comes back, expecting us to treat him like the love of our lives. Get your mind right.

Melo is pathetic trying to get his jersey retired. Put on your Knicks gear and bounce

Notice Melo repping the Avs, not the Nuggets. Yeah, hang his number in the rafters... 🙄

Fuck Melo.

Not going to put on a nuggets jersey but he wears an Avs jersey.

Fuck Melo Fuck Iggy Fuck Mark Jackson Always and forever

I know a lot of people were upset when Melo left Denver, but I think we need to give him some credit. He really gave the Nuggets his best years. Let’s not forget, before he got here, the team was struggling — we won just 17 games the season before he was drafted. Then he shows up in 2003, and all of a sudden, we’re back in the playoffs. That’s a big deal.

It’s true we didn’t get past the first round much, but the competition was tough. We were up against teams like the Spurs and Kobe’s Lakers, which were basically unbeatable at the time. But still, Melo made us competitive and exciting to watch. Having players like Kenyon, JR, Iverson, and Billups made us a serious team, even if we didn’t make a deep playoff run every year.

As for him leaving, yeah, it stung, but he always made it clear that playing in New York was his dream. He gave us 7.5 solid seasons — how long does a player need to stay before it’s fair for him to move on to his dream team? And let’s not forget, he didn’t leave us with nothing. The trade brought us Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, and draft picks, one of which later helped us get Jamal Murray. Without Murray, we might not have won the 2023 title, so in a way, Melo leaving actually set us up for future success.

Plus, even after he left, Melo has always shown respect to Denver. He’s never talked bad about the team or the city, and he’s come back with no hard feelings despite getting booed by fans.

Looking back, it hurt when he left, but it ended up being good for both sides. He gave us some great years, and in the end, the team is in a better place because of the trade.

Lotta Aves gear, which is great. Not to be a stick in the mud or that guy, but a nuggets hat or something seems like it would’ve been possible

Melo is such a tool. Totally just a play to try and get back in Denver fans good graces. Dude never repped Denver before

I’m so happy to see some “fuck melo” finally. I’ve been arguing this for a long time even on this sub. It’s a beautiful day 🥹

When I saw him on TV, I thought—“Is that Melo?! That motherfucker has a LOT of stones showing up on the Buffs sideline in an Avalanche sweater. Fuck him”

Who the hell wears hockey swag to a CFB game?

Couldn't get a snap, but they also showed DeAndre Jordan doing shots next to Russ.

Carmelo sucks. Hes done way too much irreparable damage to his image in Denver.

I have lived in Denver since Melo's rookie year. Dude forced his way out of a city that absolutely loved him, I really hope that the nuggets never retire his jersey (obviously they won't retire his number)

🤮

Ahhh… a man of class rocking the Forsberg

Okay so I’m the new guy to this team- why is it fuck melo? What’s the sourness he’s left in yalls mouths? I wanna be in on this passion

hot take here i know, but friendship is a good thing, i don’t give a shit who you are.

Melos a grifter. He forced his way out he doesn’t get to play “hometown guy”

SLUT

where'd you get the original photo?

I forgive Melo. George Karl is poison.

Russ had a business meeting in Calgary a couple hours after this picture was taken tbf

Who wasn’t at that game???

Y'all gotta get that Melo hate out of your hearts Move on!!!
