All-Star Bound

So its been a while since my last post, but I'm hoping the love is still there. I 've been dealing with a little ankle injury that has sidelined me 4 a few games but the team has been pickin up the slack. I couldn't thank u guys out there enough who voted 4 me, Allen and the rest of the nuggets in the running of being an All-Star. This will be my first All-Star game start but I'm hoping its not the last and with great fans like u I'm sure it won't be. I know this question is out of the way but who going 2 win the Superbowl Pats or Giants? On one hand u got a team that has been clickin since the start of the season, they hit the track running 100MPH while the Giants gradually got better throughout the year and should reach its peak in the superbowl. I think I would like 2 model our season after the Giants. They are similar 2 what our situation would have 2 be like 2 reach our goal of a championship. Every team wants 2 win but it takes lots of sacrifice and dedication 2 win it all, and many think we don't possess either trait when indeed we do. We have 2 put it 2gether at the right time and ride that wave all the way 2 the end. Again friends and fans thanks 4 all the support of our team we are appreciative of the recognition of our performance and I will be honored 2 play 4 u guys as a All-Star. So until All Star 2008 Stay tuned!!!

Congratulations on your first all-star start! You deserve it. I bet you're so excited! That was a tough loss for the Nuggets tonight, but you have to be proud that they pulled within three in the last couple of seconds. They played hard. I hope you get well soon. Oh and GO GIANTS!!

Yo Mello... Congrats on the All Star Start. I am a Warriors fan, but I got love for your game. I voted for you at the forward position. I wish Baron makes it, I think he really deserves it this year! He's really turned our team around and the whole Bay Area feels the change. Anyways, I think the Super Bowl should be a really good game, the Giants showed they could keep up with the Patriots in week 17 of the regular season. I hope they can pull it off in the Super Bowl. Good luck to you and and the west, go represent for all of us!

My bad, I accidentally submitted it twice....

Carmelo, Congrats...you and AI deserve it! Keep plugging along and hopefully you will end up in the NBA Finals as well...Go Nuggets, Go 'Cuse, Go Giants!

Congrats to you and AI on an All Star start. Still have my fingers crossed for Camby. Keep smiling!

I know I voted for you Melo. I just wish these All Star games were a little more serious. I'm sick of looking at it as a Harlem Globetrotters game. I wish you guys would play like it is a real game. But I understand the clowning about that goes on.

Just wish it was taken a tad more serious and sides actually want to win.

But congrats man, you deserve it, no hating here. I'm happy to see you and AI make it.

congrats on that all-star start! its about time lol! i hope u will be able to play tomorrow w ur ankle sprain in all!

Good luck getting healthy. I'm going to need you for that fantasy playoff push!

Melo, my man. das VERY truee.... u guys POSSES crazy talent.. Defense nd OFfense. But the problem is , its not together.. A I nd u can be crazy if u guys have VERY good shooting Nights TOGETHER. nd KMart nd Camby need to be Realli good defensively, TOGETHER.. nd if klieza, A.c> nd najera can make it happen from 3 point range, den hey, the nuggets gunna be jus like the giants, nd hopefulli take it too lol.

----

Make us proud, Carmelo. West Baltimore, represent!

CONGRATULATIONS AI & MELO! I HOPE MARCUS GETS IN TOO!! THEN WE WOULD HAVE 3 NUGGETS ALL-STARS!! =D

The Nuggets fought valiantly even without one of their All-Stars. It's a shame that both KLEIZA & K-MART's Offensive Contributions FELL AT THE SAME TIME ON THE ROAD AGAINST ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS IN THE WEST. We only lost by 5. But we still lost.

NOBODY THINKS THE NUGGETS WILL WIN AGAINST THE HORNETS WHO ARE THE TOPS OF THE WEST, IF NOT THE LEAGUE RIGHT NOW. I HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO PLAY BECAUSE WE ARE HURTING ON THE ROAD AND A WIN AGAINST A GOOD TEAM WOULD FEEL GOOD RIGHT ABOUT NOW.

Go NUGGETS!!

I hate the Giants for beating my Packers, so I'm going for the Patriots. And Get Well soon bro.

Hello melo my son 4 years old is your fan, you are their idolo I can do for you is a gift autografo a poster or you can see in person, I hope soon answer thanks .we live in fort collins colorado and is called jeremy gonzalez good luck in the all star game

Prove it Melo. Play some defense and take this team to the next level.

First All-Star start, great job Melo! Can't wait to see you back on the court! And go Giants!

YAAAAY melo is an all star!!

I aint gonna lie though the east has a squad this year. Damn near like a video game squad hah props to you with the position mayne though I'd love to see my boy BD up there.

congrats Melo

Congrats Melo.....you deserve it!! I hope to get an opportunity to see you play up close and in person in New Orleans! I'm rooting for the WEST because the WEST is the BEST!!

Hi. Melo , A.I and Camby is best BIG THREE. You are UNSTOPABLE!!! Melo is good pointer, A.I is best ast-pts leader. Camby is N1 DEFENSIVE player. Melo is "MOST VALUABLE PLAYER AVARDS"
HHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

Melo, I don't think its a question that you should be in the All-Star Game starting. You're consistently in the top 5 in scoring now and your RPG and APG are the highest they've ever been. I'm sure you know. I think you could pull a Camby and get a triple-double a few times a year. What do you think? Speakin of Camby, I hope hes there wit you and A.I. in the Big Easy. EZ

Good article and it heals up quickly , we need you to win the championship. (You are the best player in the world!)

still hopin for a great game.what the heck itll be perfect for the people i voted for

The love is definitely still there and It's good 2 know that the ankle is better, (saw U b4 the tip-off vs the Mavs moving around). The team did come away with 2 wins and that does say that they did pick up "some" of the slack and that was a good thing. Not only did I vote for U, I also encouraged people who r not basketball fans at all 2 vote. I'm sure getting a start for the first time is extremely exciting but this is definitely not your last Melo, U're only just beginning. My conversation n regard 2 the Superbowl is very limited. I do know though that the Patriots haven't lost a game all season, but I'm just not an avid football fan. U did make some real good logic about the comparison of the Nuggets 2 the Giants so guess I'll go with them.....n keeping up with your blog b4 long I will b a football fan cause now I'll b cheering for the Giants and Eli Manning. There is no question that the Nuggets do have the talent and U have proven that U r willing 2 sacrifice and I believe the team is dedicated so hopefully every1 feels that now is the right time 2 put it all 2gether 2 win it all. I do hope that the ntire team feels the same way that U do about riding that wave as I know all your fans/friends do. Hope 2 see U out there vs the Hornets and I will see U at the All-Star game and until then..............I'm tuned. Lots of Luv

The key is not to let one thing slip when u start to pick up another. You have to slowly get all the pieces going, but then not let it drop. That's the symphony, that's the team. Melo, you got my vote because you jumped 1,000,000 times to get all those rebounds. To get the championship, that won't be up to all the 6th men here, that's up to you and the midnight blue.
Glad you're getting all the rest, we know you be goin' non-stop so maybe a tweaked ankle is a blessing in disguise.
Go Nuggets!

Nice work Melo. Just hope Boom Dizzle get to N.O. with you.

congrats on your first all star start! in my opinion you shoulda made is a long time ago, but its all good.
hope your ankle feels better, big game against the hornets tonight, hope you can play and get a win outta it.
good luck in your second half of the season, cant wait until all star game!

MELLO,
Get well and make sure the ankle is right before you go and do worse damage to it, the team can hold the fort until you return healthy. The playoff run is coming up enjoy the break and come back strong & Healthy! God Bless! Stevie B


well i want to say that i´m not surprise carmelo, you deserve to be in the all star for everything you give to the nba to the nuggets, last year yo should be in bench at he begining of the game (all star 2007) and this year you got the chance to show every people whose the best, i voted in you and a.i because you and he are exelent payers (you are more ) =)
carmelo i hope you get better because the team nedds you all star game nedds you hell the nba nedds the best player in the world. belive me i´m a huge fan of you my dream it´s met you but that´s impossibel.coul´d you sentan e-mail?
well i really hope so
come better than before

dang man the team coulda really used you in these last few games especially tonight that was a bad game all around. anyways good luck in the all star game i no you gonna kill up their ima b watching.

AI sucks.. Yeah he can score and he really looks cool handling the rock.. but he eats to much shot clock in taking shots. No ball movement when he's on the game. Trade him for B Diddy or D Will.

HI,Anthony!~Please take care of yourself!Fighting````

I think the Pats gonna win, but it'd be amazing if Giants got it!

I'm glad my dozen votes a day came thru... its easy to get around nba.com's voting limiters! I knew you were a lock to start... but for AI to come from 80,000 votes back was pretty damn sweet!!!

You know what'd be even sweeter? If Nuggets got Jason Kidd!!!! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!
He's available... and we need a proven and consistent PG. I love the way Anthony Carter is playing right now, but he's not nearly as consistent or versatile! YOU SHOULD PUSH THE MANAGEMENT TO SIGN KIDD! C'MON MELO, YOU CAN DO IT!!

MELO, NOT TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY BUT I READ THAT CP3 & CHANDLER TOOK CERTAIN STATS TO HEART SO THEY MADE IT A POINT THAT THEY EACH GOT DOUBLE-DOUBLES FOR THE GAME AGAINST THE NUGGETS.

I BELIEVE THE SAME FOR US AS I HAVE SAID OVER AND OVER AGAIN. YOU AND AI SHOULD SHOOT FOR DOUBLE-DOUBLES, YOU IN POINTS/REBOUNDS AND AI FOR POINTS/ASSISTS. GIVEN THE STATS, IT IS A GUARANTEED WIN FOR YOU. THAT IS WHY CP3 AND CHANDLER DID IT, AND IT WORKED!

ONE OF THE OTHER READERS SAID THAT IT IS TOO MUCH TO PUT ON AI BUT FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU 2 AND CAMBY ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT HAVE THE HEART AND THE TALENT TO DO IT.

WE ARE STILL HERE HOPING THAT OUR DENVER NUGGETS ARE GOING TO GET IT TOGETHER FOR A SOLID RUN.

GO NUGGETS!

Congratulations! And yes the "love" is still here for you. Look forward to watching you in the All-Star game. But I'm not really into either teams that are going to the SuperBowl. They just did not stimulate me like some other teams did. Oh well. Hope you have a good season although I am a Lakers and Clippers fan.

You shouldn't like 2 teams especially that close and especially in the same division. Come on, You watch the highlights not the games

I voted for all three of you guys (you, AI and Camby) everyday for the entire duration voting was open. So congratulations to both you and AI (especially, good pull from behind). How's that ankle doing? Make sure you come back when your ready because I would hate to see you rush back then re-injure it again when it gets down and dirty. I'm from NY so you know it's GO GIANTS!!! but I don't know if they can pull it off against the UNDEFEATED PATROITS, their defensive end is CRAZY! Anyway take care until your next post. Tell the team I said great job handling Atlanta and NJ without you, they all stepped to get the job done (especially my man AI) but they beat theirselves against the Mavs on Sunday, Camby missed 5 layups, AI missed 5 to 6 free throws. Got to make em' when they count. Slow start but good defense allowed them to catch up in the 3rd (AI with 12 pts in the 3rd). Too much perimeter shooting at times, need to take it to the hoop more draw the fouls get their guys in foul trouble and make the free throws. Tell AI I ain't mad at him (he was mad enough at his self). Holla!

I know that this comment isn't about All Star, but i'm a great fan of Denver and i just can't believe why the Nuggets aren't in the top 3 teams in the West, when they have one of the best rosters in the league. I think that George Karl had enough time to make the Nuggets one of the top teams in the league but he failed to do that and he is a main reason for Nuggets average results. You and Iverson are in the top 5 scorers in the league....Camby the best defensive player in NBA.... J.R.Smith excellent
shooter and great potential (low MPG !!!).... Klieza a GREAT, GREAT talent .... Nene also low MPG (i hope he'll recover soon).... K.M also a former All Star player... I MEAN HELLO !!!! U SHOULD BE IN THE FINAL NOT STRAGGLING TO GET THE PLAYOFFS !!!
You're a incredible player, i hope you'll be remembered as one of the greatest players in the history of NBA..... just keep going....
Greetings from Macedonia from Dime & Zante

hey Carmelo um when are you going to be back man your good we need you to win somegames for the nuggets ! Hope your ankle gets better and see you on the court!! 10 Dton %^*&^

you deserve it it earlyer but most people dont see your work
like they stole you the Rookie of the year but you now rule on the field nd your getting better and much better than the others and i hoe you get the All Star MVP and if denver dont make the finals it will be next year then the whole team is making progress and of course you for me u will be the best
and Go Pats !! Tom BRady Randy Moss

How bout' them Giants!!!!!!

Melo- How bout some info on the M4 release dates? On sneakerfiles and other sites they keep changing around. And when is the White/Columbia pair dropping? I have yet to see a release date for it and the only pair I can find is an autographed pair on eBay that is way out of my price range. I am a huge fan of yours, I have about 15 colorways in your different shoes. Gotta say the M4 is the best so far, coulda been the XX3 in my opinion. Anyways, I doubt you even read these so hopefully I can find the info out soon, and keep kicking butt. It about time the best player out of your draft class got a start in the all star game!

Melo, I have been watching you ever since you where drafted in 2004. You were always compared to Bron and D-Wade and that you never made the start for All-Star game the last couple of years. I feel bad because you really deserve a spot but now finally you got it! Congratulations Melo! Hope you well with that ankle sprain of yours (I also had ankle problems when I play ball). And go Denver! Do ALL YOUR BEST to make it to the Finals just like the way you brought the 'Cuse to the NCAA Finals. Good Luck!

I'm a 100% Nuggets fan. I love the Nuggets with all my heart.
But I'm sorry... The way the Nuggets are playing right now... You and A.I. don't really have the right to start in the game... What has Denver done? We get swacked by the Elite teams in the NBA every time, we play no defense, we have no strategy, we don't play defense, we have no bench support, ai and you have been struggling from the field, our record is awful, we play no defense, our own coach has no confidence within his team, and to top it all off, KOBE PLAYS AROUND WITH YOU GUYS... THE DENVER NUGGETS ARE THE CAREER-HIGH GIVERS...
I bet teams can't wait to play you guys, because in their minds they are already thinking they are gonna post a career high on you guys...
Seriously, what have you guys done?
Besides beat the Spurs (luckily) and the Mavericks... What other elite team have we beaten? The Lakers? NO. The Suns? NO. The Celtics? NO.
I'm not hating on anyone, but god dammit what has anyone done??? The only man in my eyes that deserves that All-Star spot, is Camby. He is HUSTLING. He is BLOCKING, REBOUNDING, ASSISTING, and STEALING. He has to be the clean-up guy, the repair man for the Nuggets.
A.I. is my favorite player, since i was 6 man (I saw him on ESPN Georgetown highlights, and watched him get traded to the Sixers in 96)... I'm 19 now.. That man has been my hero for a long time, but he's pissing me off right now... He doesn't deserve that guard spot.. Nash does...
And you, Carmelo... You and K-Mart have problems... You have this big-head problem when you attack the basket... Why do you guys think you can dunk on anyone??? You guys get facial blocked all the time.. You never pass, double clutch, or anything... it's like you drive in with no brain...
God... Denver needs a whole make-over... We need a coach with discipline, we need a decent point guard who can put up numbers in both the assist and scoring department (13 assists and 0 points doesnt cut it Anthony Carter), we need our injured players back, and we need a STRONG BENCH to support the team. The starters cant do it all, man... Look at the Kings, everyone on that damn roster can put up 10 points or more...
You, K-Mart, and J.R. smith are turnover kings because you guys don't think...
I honestly think that no Nugget besides Camby should be on the All-Star team...
That's just me...
I can't change what happened... All I have to say is, Nuggets, you better play like you deserved a spot in the All-Star game... Because thus far, you haven't showed me a damn thing... New Orleans mopped the floor with Denver's whole squad... Even the Legendary Iverson, and Intimidating Camby...
Denver needs help.

Yo Melo, congrats once again on making the All-Star game as a starter! I have no doubt you will go on to win the MVP of the game as well. Good luck trying to match what you did last year (20pts 9reb). I hope your ankle is heeling quicker than it has been, we could really use you. It seems like the last couple of games we just haven't had that energy we usually do. I hope you get back soon. Also, I love the analogy between the Nuggets and the Giants. It would be great if that would happen and with the lineup we have, there's no doubt its a good possibility. Peace!

**************************************************************************************************************************

Simple Formula:

AI > 10 POINTS + >10 ASSISTS = WIN

**************************************************************************************************************************

SEE MELO? EVEN WITHOUT YOU OUT THERE, A DOUBLE-DOUBLE IN POINTS AND ASSISTS FROM AI TRANSLATES INTO A WIN, EVEN ON THE ROAD WHERE WE ARE HAVING SO MUCH TROUBLE.

**************************************************************************************************************************

AI is the ONLY ONE IN THE BACKCOURT THAT CAN DO THIS CONSISTENTLY, PERIOD.
