Carmelo Anthony Wanted To Play Darko Miličić 1v1 For The #2 Overall Pick

Dwyane sits down with his close friend, and 10-time NBA All-Star, Carmelo Anthony for an intimate conversation. They cover Melo's family and childhood growing up in Brooklyn and Baltimore, how he learned about his late father's interesting life, becoming friends with LeBron in high school and why Melo got stranded at Oak Hill.

Melo opens up about why he never believed he would win a National Championship or play in the NBA. They discuss why Melo is still upset about the 2003 Draft, his dramatic time with the Knicks, and Melo's struggles to deal with the end of his incredible playing career.

Melo being raised in that veteran locker room is one of the greatest what ifs.

Melo getting drafted but the Pistons would’ve started a crazy dynasty

[chalklesnar]

Had the Pistons drafted Melo, all of NBA history from then til now would've been altered, and probably at least partly to his benefit.

[breonwilliams]

Imagine if Melo had got drafted by the pistons he’d probably never become a Knick because, he probably wouldn’t know what it feels like to lose on that Level.💯

The Mythical Darko must have seemed like the mythical Sid Finch.

[tannerhachey]

I really do believe melos whole legacy is completely different if he goes to Detroit.

[aking]

Still upset with joe dumars for messing this bit of history up. Ben wallace. Chauncey, rip, tayshawn, with melo would have had rings

[BlkBanjo]

As a diehard piston fan, the organization is forever dropping the ball when it comes to drafting. So sad!!!

[rebeccajohnson]

If melo got drafted to Detroit he’d have 2 or 3 rings right now they won one without him went to a game 7 the next year in the finals and 3 more Ecf after that, I’m sure going melo would’ve changed up a couple of there tendencies but none the less the pistons would’ve benefited having a 25 to 30 ppg superstar on the team and would’ve won a lot more

[bobjohnson-hzpi]

I could not believe this pick in real time. I was astounded that Dumars pick him over Mello.
I’m from Baltimore and saw him as a teenager.

[EJonezTv]

Melo vs Kobe In The Finals Would’ve Been Wild

[DukeForever]

“I might be the #1 pick” Cleveland hearing that 👀

[Lo_xx]

Lebron and wade proably have 1 less ring if melo goes to Detroit

[joondagoon]

Melo should’ve stayed in Denver really and built a team. He had half a team he went to New York with a couple guys that’s it

[NoLimitDolow]

As a Melo, Detroit crucial decision
Makes me sad

[venelinbarbov]

Darko has a lot of potential, just like Adam Morrison (not sure the first name ) at Lakers, both teams had their championship players and those guys didn't play much

[Munir]

People who say he would of messed it up for tay prince .. i disagree. I think they would of made eachother better. Tayshaun would of adapted... but its all hypothetical 🤷‍♂️

[drewbreezy]

He would have ended his career B4 it even started.

[fairwiz]

Can’t take wade serious bro might as well come out 😂

[Pangea_]

Melo would've gotten at LEAST 2 rings in Detroit
