To clarify - I want to tell great stories that lift people up.
I want the Sonics back!
I want to see Melo’s jersey retired in Denver and he deserves it. I’d like us to reconnect.
MJ is the GOAT and Jokic is damn good.
Kenyon and Boogie are angry dudes but I wish them well.

And it’s why his jersey should be in the Pepsi Center rafters soon
Before Melo was drafted by the Nuggets they missed the playoffs the previous 8 seasons.
In the 7 full seasons with Carmelo Anthony, the Nuggets NEVER missed the playoffs.

Facts:
Carmelo is one of the best scorers in the history of the game.
He is one the best players the Denver Nuggets ever had.
His jersey should hang in the rafters in Denver.
And he should be celebrated in the Hall of Fame when he is done.
Debate everything else.
