    Knicks and Melo were made for each other.

    A selfish high volume chucker of a player that has always been about himself and himself only.

    An organization that could never get anything right other than refusing to trade for Ryan Anderson.

    Walt Frazier not a fan of the idea

    Frazier also said he didn’t feel Anthony — the seventh all-time scorer in Knicks history — should have his Knicks jersey retired and feels there are a few former players ahead of him on the list anyway.

    “Probably not because he didn’t win a title,” Frazier said. “I’m surprised they didn’t put Allan Houston up there. I’m surprised Bernard King, who is in the Hall of Fame, they haven’t put Bernard up there. So those two guys I think are deserving. Perhaps maybe John Starks. Even the Oak Man, Charles Oakley, but that probably won’t happen with all the stuff he’s done at the Garden. So he’s not held in high esteem right now but I don’t see them putting Melo in there because of that.”

    Frazier is among nine former Knicks with their jerseys hanging in the rafters. The others are Dick Barnett, Willis Reed, Patrick Ewing, Earl Monroe, Dick McGuire, Bill Bradley, Dave DeBusschere and coach Red Holzman.​

    I don't think Melo has his number retired anywhere. Insane to think given all he has accomplished, most likely a top 10 scorer all time (could potentially pass Hakeem).

    Walt Frazier has sense. It would be a complete joke if the Knicks ever retired Melo’s jersey. U win 1 playoff series and get your number hanging in the rafters?
