100% accurate. Thanks Gordon and Terry!

MELO has to hold HIMSELF accountable

I've been around people like Melo in the workplace and my insight on it is that they aren't ready to grow up yet. Still a kid at heart. Zion same way. While we as fans want him to grow up to help the team win, he's still in YOLO mode right now. Barely not a teenager living on his own still and enjoying the freedom that comes with it

LaMelo a rockstar living in a different lifestyle than your average NBA player.

He's the OBJ of the NBA.

When you sign a max contract you should be expected to have the emotional intelligence to carry yourself as a leader, including both personal and professional accountability.

The team will never grow until he does (and actually plays some basketball games)

That's a spot on comparison. The OBJ of the NBA. Melo might be an adult legally, but mentally, he is a child. Melo is a brand before he's a basketball player, in my opinion. It's kind of obvious.
