why do you keep comparing Melo to the greatest basketball player in the league today?


and stop being blinded by the names. Kidd didn't even score a single point in the playoffs, Novak won't shoot even if Mugsy Bogues closed out on him which is why he was traded, and Amare just came back from injury and was on a 15 minute limit vs the Pacers (and does not play defense). Tyson was completely ineffective and JR didn't have a good game since the Terry incident and needed off-season surgery....


How are all of those circumstance's Melo's fault? Because he doesn't pass like Lebron does? You want Melo to guard Hibbert and David West? Because the Knicks lost the series due to rebounding/2nd chance points...a weakness of the Knicks that was exposed over and over again.


Pacers are a very good team, Knicks weren't good enough that series.


Bunch of Skip Bayless's on NT
Because a bunch of you guys overrate him, thinking he is on the level of KD or Bron. He is TOP 10 at best, but I would have around 11-18 tbh. Just because he is a very good scorer, doesn't make him a great as many claim.

Takes a team to win
and his game/style isn't winning basketball. 

He's not in the class of Lebron or Dirk. A tier or two below. Only a small handful of players can get teams like that to win a finals. Lebron and dirk included. Still, thats not a knock on him. Those guys are consensus top 30, with Bron creeping  in the top 10. When its all said and done, he'll be looked at as a hall of famer and a good player. Not every HOFer is LeBron and Dirk. I think you and I can agree he is a good player.
he is a great player, but very overrated.

i ain't even going to argue wit you Melo fan boys anymore dude is Shimmy Walker meets Glen Robinson with the ESPN hype behind him 

repped
 
Why do people love Melo so much seriously??
Just because he's your favorite player doesn't mean he's top five or on the level of Barkley.
:smh::smh:
Because he's instant buckets :lol:

On a serious note, no changing his game. I thought that with Olympics if he was going to change, it'd been last year. Still didn't happen.
 
Melo
JR
Birdman
KMart
Allen Iverson
Nene
Billups

thats a team right there

washed up Iverson was traded for Billups, and having a real PG they finally made the West Finals.

Too bad they lost to the eventual NBA champion Lakers in 6 tough games.

i ain't even going to argue wit you Melo fan boys anymore dude is Shimmy Walker meets Glen Robinson with the ESPN hype behind him 

Espn hype? The only person that supports him at espn is skip bayless
 
Dudes dont understand that, but when you bring up that other dude post shaq/ pre pau thats the first thing they mention lmao
WHO THE F expects Kobe to win with Lamar and 17 year old Bynum? I'm even surprised he got the Lakers to the playoffs two str8 years.

Kobe was putting up 35 at night, Melo doesn't compare to him, plus Melo's team is so much better.

If only a handfull of players can do what you do on the offensive end does that make you overrated?

...again, who are those putting Melo on LeBron's level besides you at the moment?

To say Melo is not a top 10 player in the league currently is completely "under-rating" him.

18th. :lol:

if you're worse than almost all players on the defensive end it does
 
Can't believe people are serious with this Paul George Comparision.
Give P. George AR Smith as a number two option and that team wouldn't even make the playoffs, give Melo Hibbert and these dudes would run the East.

The only thing PG has over Melo is defense. Nothing less, nothing more.

lol exactly. this same guy called him great, and a possible top ten player, then in the same sentence claims hes overated and big dog/toine hybrid. huh?? I dont remember any of those guys being mentioned as top 10 players at anytime in their careers.

So they were up 3-1 because of kobe but they loss 3 straight because of the other dudes? Okay you got it
