Melo was a great player for the Nuggets, offensively, but he doesn't deserve to have his jersey retired here. He had a Lebronesque departure from Denver, albeit milder, and never came back. I would have reconsidered these feelings if he had come back here but doubtful that will ever happen. His terrible defense and effort on the defensive side were infuriating to watch. Those teams could have done so much more and maybe even beat Kobe one season if not for Melo's half ass style of play. He was an offensive genius here in Denver, I was a big fan, but now he annoys me more than anything. So don't retire his jersey he's not worthy of it despite his outstanding offensive play for 7 years I think it was. Sorry Melo.
