Melo was/is better than Pierce.

Pp's career wasn't looking all that Rosie before 2007.....then the trade happened. Boom!

Championships change everything man. We really have dudes saying Pierce was a lockdown defender and was a game changer on that end.

If only Detroit didn't pick Darko

Pierce was able to make other players better. Melo.....

Pierce made his teammates so much better they didnt make the playoffs like his first 3 years with them. Melo.....

 

[Lovetohate3000]

New york fans still riding for Melo
.. Ya'll deserve him to rot on your squad.

like people who defend they abusers. Makes zero sense.

 

[nooera]

I don't get why Pierce getting compared to Melo. Melo is at the end of his physical prime while Pierce is an old man.

Pierce was like a less athletic Harden.

if by less athletic you mean, they had nothing in common besides being able to shoot the 3 , and both are black... then yes. I agree

Blake got hung. Sad!

If you wanna say Pierce > Melo fine I'm not gonna bother arguing that. If you say Pierce > Melo cuz he made his teammates better thats BS.

Nuggets never had a losing season with Melo on the squad. Can't say the same for the celtics and Pierce.

Is it cuz one of them made their teammates better while the other didnt?

Did Melo make his nuggets teammates better but couldnt make the Knicks into a perennial contender? Or is it that the nuggets made Melo better?

But then that would mean that his shortcomings in NY arent his fault which NT would never cosign.

Maybe he just stopped making people better? How do you even make someone better?

Some people on here just read whatever they want to read.

Nobody said Pierce was a "lockdown" or "game-changing" defender, but he did have numerous above average seasons on that end. Was a very solid/capable defender.

@ doc not putting pierce in, not like it would hurt anything.

Pierce is minus 9 on the court.
