They weren't favored, but they had a chance to win in 09 against the Lakers.
It was a title contending roster as well.

I love when people say Melo didn't do x, y, z.
Which individual team didn't go as deep into the playoffs as it was supposed to?
You say it as if the teams he was on were EXPECTED to go for and didn't
I don't see how Iggy and Melo are on the same level. At all

Or did the Lakers allow an inferior team to stick with them? [emoji]129300[/emoji]

However you want to look at it, it's not like the Nuggets got swept.

No.
The point is we are blaming MELO for his team losing to a superior team.
That is hilarious

What's hilarious is you comparing the careers of Iggy and Melo Jemele.

I mean is AI an underachiever because he was drafted along with Ray Allen and Kobe?

This sums up carmelo's legacy in my eyes. This is some shh Charles Barkley would say. See a guy working his tail off and tell him to chill because he's making you look bad. I've said it before but somewhere between George Karl and Phil Jackson he lost the desire to be great

Trying too hard. Just stop.
Clearly I copied and pasted that from somewhere the way it was presented
But continue doing what you are attempting to do

Just going by the statlines, he played well below his season averages.
Don't think I've put blame, just think it doesn't much sense to give Melo a pass for not doing much with his career.

Dude, you ARE blaming him if you are saying he doesn't deserve a pass.
It makes no sense at all

Who made that statement? I can find a bunch of dumb statements and paste them here, I just don't see the point in doing so

Fair enough.
He still has time in his career to win a title, but if you set a goal to do so and fail on doing that, that is essentially underachieving.

Clearly it is more up for discussion than we think it SHOULD be.
I thinknitnis dumb to compare the two but I know how irrational some folks are when it comes to
A. Melo
B. Blaming Stars
So why not.

finals appearance isn't an accolade either
especially when dudes get slandered for their finals record

So back to the main point.
We are essentially saying a role player that has deep playoff run success has had a better career than one of the brighter stars of this generation?
