You do realize that there is more to the game than just points right?
Kobe is the 2nd best SG though you could easily make the case that Jerry West could be 2nd. Wade is 4th especially if he is going to be a 75% player from now on.

Those guys are all better players than Kobe right now until proven differently.

You asking me if I realize there is more to basketball then just points? Your boy plays no defense and does nothing else even well, other then score. He just had 62 points with 0 assists. Its impossible.

What does Anthony have to do with this conversation? You realize that only idiots would dwell on the fact that a guy with 62 points had zero assists right? That in order to get an assist your teammates have to make a basket when you pass it to them?

I am hardly the worlds biggest Carmelo Anthony fan and am well aware of his positives, negatives, strengths and limitations. I'm not 100% convinced that they would be better off starting over from scratch. But this ridiculous notion that he isnt one of the ten best players in the world or "cant win" is misguided at best and asinine at worst.

Carmelo Anthony defending the post is like Bill Russell compared to Harden defending pretty much anything.

Any kid who is considering a stint with Calipari/UK ought to think long and hard about the repercussions of that decision.

I guess they recruit them saying that they get exposure and look at all the UK guys in the NBA and taken in the lottery.

The biggest nightmare for Calipari would be the NBA getting rid of the one and done rule and beefing up the D league as a real minor league.

I don’t think its ridiculous at all saying Melo isn’t a top 10 player. Not at all. And he has won nothing in the NBA, so Im not sure why you continuing make this bad argument. Ill name 10 that are better than him today.

Lebron
Durant
Westbrook
Curry
Harden
Howard
Paul
Griffin
Aldridge
George
Love
That’s 11 that I take no questions asked.
Ill name a few more who are borderline.

Davis
Cousins
Irving
Lillard
Wall
Lee
Parsons
Hayward
Clearly Im saying all things considered. Age, money etc….

This is a joke right?

Carmelo Anthony is averaging 27 points and 9 rebounds and 3 assists a game.

On 45% shooting, 42% on 3's.

Yeah Gordon Hayward is better...

[RockHardTen1985]

Melo will be 30 this year. He is a no defense gunner who no one really even wants anymore and rumor is La La is making the decisions in his family anyway.
Gordon is 23 and makes much less, so like I said all things considered, and Hayward was not on the 100% better list.

Anthony has scored 22 points more than Aldridch this season despite taking 60 fewer shots.

Gordon Hayward is averaging 11.5 points a game for his career. He is averaging 17 a game this year with a shooting % considerably worse than Anthony. You should slap yourself in the face for this comparison.

Best PF in the game, but we have to get you to start learning his name...Aldridge lol. Your Knicks fandom is showing with all the Cole references in this thread.

According to PG1985 and Skip Bayless logic:
havent won anything in the NBA
Durant
Westbrook
Paul
Howard
Griffin
Hardon
Aldridge
Love
George
Davis
Cousins
Irving
Lillard
Wall
Lee
Parsons
Hayward

or in other words your entire list outside of LeBron

The point being Lebron is the GOAT.

About the only benefit of being a Knick fan is that they have the best TV guys by far in Breen and Clyde Frazier. There are some brutal analysts out there.
