Yo Yardbarkers!

So here goes my first time in the blog world. This will be a spot for me to give it to you straight from the source. Nothing's off the table. I'll cover the Nuggets, the USA team, life in Denver, what's up in Baltimore, my record label KrossOver, whatever comes to mind. I'll start by catching you up on my summer and my outlook of this upcoming season. I'll start with the annual H.O.O.D. Movement 3 on 3 tournament. It really was an exciting time for everyone who attended the event. 106th & Park host Rosci was there, and Big Tigger came through to contribute a little laughter to the Movement. The teamwork of everyone involved in helping to teach the youth to control their own destiny taught me something. This helped me to gear up for a tremendous summer. Between the love of my family in Bmore and the ovations at Allen Iverson's softball game, it was a little tough to leave for training. The FIBA games were filled with incredible energy, from the die-hard fans to the unforgettable plays and chemistry. With our hard work and chemistry, team USA was able to defend our home court, capturing the gold medal. Yes I did say GOLD. We did all of this without my boy Dwade, who will be back next summer. You read it here first: we are going to take care of business next year in Beijing. All of this made up or rather added to the new and resurgent Melo. Before kickin into gear of training camp, I couldn't just leave the love of the fans, and with Yao and Nash doing their charity game it was only fitting that I attend the affair in China. One of my major thrills was visiting the Great Wall of China. 3 letters: WOW!! China is an incredible place and I can't wait to get back there next summer. I felt proud to represent not just America, but people across the world who support me. I appreciate the love. As for training camp, it's back to work, see this is where the journey begins, and with a full roster I'm strapping on the hard helmet and expect the rest of my family to do so, see we will train, fight, lose and win, together. God willing we stay healthy, in the meaning of "The Movement" (we are holding our own destiny). Stay tuned. For now go Rockies! And remember: Bmore!

I think they're about to be awakened and that you guys can be legit contenders in the West if everyone can stay healthy. Good luck this year Carmelo!

What up Melo. First of welcome to the yard. I first saw you over your rookie summer, we didn't connect but I was at the summer charity game Jalen Rose and A walker was hosting it way back in the day I still got pictures here in the chi. That dunk you had over summer was nasty you know the one I am talking about. Nuggets are nice in the new live, I remember when my boy jordan" not mike lol" aka hands was you coaching in 07. Stay Safe, but you ain't messing with chi-Town Tho. Gotta Say STARTER Son for West ALL stars

Carmelo,
Welcome to the Yard! I'm a die hard Syracuse fan and I have to say I wish we could still watch you in the Dome. However, the Cuse Nation will never forget that National Championship year -- unbelievable. I also admire you for the generous donation you made to Syracuse. It's always nice to see past players give back in several ways. Anyhow, tear it up this year and I hope you can continue your momentum you experienced with Team USA. I look forward to watching you this year.

Good luck from Federal Hill in Bmore!!!!

Carmelo,
First of all, congratulations on the gold medal, it was clear watching the games that you had worked very hard and were in terrific shape for the World Championship. You really deserved that gold medal. I can't wait for the season to kick off, only four more days, I am feeling 60 wins this year for sure. But most of all I just wanted to thank you, as a Nugget fan for my whole life, for bringing basketball popularity back to the Denver area. My dream growing up was to go to a Nuggets game where it was sold out, where the fans were excited to see you guys play, where a Nuggets game actually mattered to other people besides just me. And because of your help, and the other teammates help, you help me achieve that dream. So thank you, we will all be cheering you guys on for every game this season, and good luck. Congratulations on starting a beautiful family as well, good for you Carmelo.

The Cuse will always love you. Did you like Varsity or Cosmos pizza? I can't wait to see you play in Beijing. What food did you like?

Kinda weak you didn't back out of the games after Colangelo said Iverson wasn't allowed to play for the team after he directly said he was gonna be allowed to play. You gotta stick up for your boy in that spot. I love ya Melo, but that's weak. You were there.. y'all wouldn't have even qualified the previous year if it wasn't for Allen's buzzer beater against Germany. I'll be in NY tonight to make sure u handle urs.. but again man, you gotta stand by your teammates. I'm tired of the discrimination against Allen in the olympics.. because he has all the tats he won't represent his country well?? What a joke.. he's the best player in the league.. he should be there.. plain and simple.

First of all, worse things than 3 losses in a row with the 3rd being a.... well, really can't think of a word 2 describe that one. However, I certainly hope that U and the Nuggets haven't been down on yourselves. Let's just say those games were some really disastrous mistakes as long as U know that mistakes that r repeated become "Habits" and we definitely don't want those type of games 2 become "Habits" So I guess that was 1 of those "Nights I Wish That Raindrops Would Fall" kind of nights, huh? So much for those games we r putting those behind us and moving forward as in the words of Grant Hill, "The past is History, The Future is a Mystery, Right Now is a Gift and that's why we call it "The Present" So the History is just that and the Gift of the Present is knowing that we have the Future to look forward to and we r looking 2 win and win big O.K.-----O.K. I can understand if U r a little bit fatigued after all the basketballing U have done over the past 3 years but whenever U do get a little relaxing time.....RELAX. U r, as Coach Karl said a special player and special players do special things on the basketball court. I see that "THE SMILE" was back and that was really as welcoming sight 2 see, I tend not 2 enjoy the games as well when U r not smiling it has in some way been 1 of the highlights of your game. Until next time Melo.........Keep Smiling" (Lots of Luv...Niecey)

p.s. Keep the defensive pressure on your opponent always. If you do, you will join Jordan and Pippen as one of The Greatest NBA Players Ever (I'm talking Hall of Fame).
Best Regards Melo!

Hey Melo - you're out here in LA playing the Lakers tonight. One hour till tip off and I know you're bringing your A game. Keep ya head up Melo - I'm a Denver Native living in L.A and I know you guys are missing Nene, Steven and Kenyon in the front court. Keep fighting Melo- you are, in my book, the absolute best SF - just keep the defensive pressure on...always!

Hey Carmelo, My name is Dino and I am from Croatia, that is a small country in Europe(betven Italy and Slovenia). I am 16 year old and I am your BIG fan, i watch your every game and after game i watch your mowes, You are like my mentor (but you don"t know me.). we dont have club in our citty so we play on the street. I think that you will be one of the best players on World, if you will play like now. I can"t buy your yersey in Croatia, but you are the best and i have buyed one on your club web page..I am verry hapy that there is one player like you, and by the way you are on the poster on Croatian biggest basketball magazin, you have a lot of fans in Croatia. Maybe you will come to Croatia in future, that is a nice country, A LOOOOOOOT of beauthiful womens. Maybe we will play on the street together, I will still watch all your games and i will triying to be best that i can be, but i can"t be bether than you, i have a lot of respect to you. Bye from Croatia. sorry but my english is bad.

i'm a big fan of u from turkey i watch all the games from tv at night times and i'll tell how it looks like from a fans point melo... when u back up the defenders they look like a 10 year old kid trying to stop a 16 yo kid :D i mean they look helpless melo no way they can stop u. u dont have the biggest muscles but u just push them like shaq was pushing the other centers at past... u can miss the 3s melo no way u'll shoot 2/2 behind the arc every night but if u drive more and use ur power u'll get the points from the line anyway... i feel exactly the same things with the croatian boy wrote i saw u at istanbul 2 years ago if u come turkey again ill doo whatever it takes to catch u and make u sign nuggets 3 jerseys ;) good luck my favourite player...

Hey melo, hate to say this but tou are a BALL HOG! GIVE THE BALL MORE TO ALLEN IVERSON!!! Unlike him, you're assist numbers are low and you don't even rebound th ball well. You're also lame with your defense.. Unlike allen iverson again, who plays the passing lanes very well and is excellent at stealing the ball from the opponent.... "Allen Iverson" is the true leader of the Denver Nuggets!!!!

Well Carmelo it was great to see you in ATL, of course I had mixed emotions at the game, since I wanted both teams to win and we know that is not possible. Sorry for your lost, but don't put all the blame on you. I was more dissapointed in iverson for getting the tecnical fouls at the end of the game. I know he did not like the call, but walk a mile in the Hawks shoes, we get bad calls on a daily basis. Actually I was shocked that the 2 calls went our way, cause that is usually not the case. At that time you were on the come back and those 2 techs killed your chance. You on the other hand remained calm and unlike one of your other team mates did not make a bad situation worse. Looks like you have matured since the Knicks incident. I'm glad you all came back and won the game against Utah.
