    The trade thing i understand if some people don't like how that went down fine but..that doesn't take away that he hasn't been beasting this season. This team is just so damn inconsistent and melo has been the only one carrying the squad most nights.
    He's having a career year in rebounds and still getting buckets and bringing it every night. The bias is waaay to much for no reason.

    As the best player of that team and the "leader" don't you think he should take responsibility for the way the team is playing? Kobe had a ? team back when Shaq left.. What he do? He willed his team into the post season.. Mcgrady played with a bunch of scrubs in Orlando.. What he do? He willed his team into the playoffs. Melo has a far superior team around him in a eastern conference that is as weak as it's ever been and they are sitting in 11th place smmfh. In 10 years in the league he has only won 3 playoff series. Dude has the worst playoff win percentage of all time!! FOH!! He's overrated plain and simple.

    That same kobe team that was up 3-1 and said ? it? The season isn't even done yet so knicks can still get it and I said the team is bad and unlike last year we don't have all our shooters this year so the offense is even worse. In and out injuries and Mikes bad adjustments as well as dudes just mentally checking out some games has lead to where we are now.

    Disrespecting the ? out of melo smh FOH with this thread. He went every year in the playoffs against teams that eventually won the title or went to the finals if we basing this list off success Klove should be no where near anyones list cause he has yet to be in the playoffs.

    for real

    k love be looking so fatherless in the 4th quarter when he know his shot is off

    remind me of myself growing up when the landlord would come banging on the door for the rent and we had to stay quiet so we could trick him into thinking we werent home---thats kevin love in crunch time

    you wanna talk about disappearing my man not even getting double teamed most the time (if ever) either which is surprising to see since hes a superstar

    how melo is considered overrated but kevin love not when his only worth is on the offensive side of the ball which is pretty much him jacking up 3s/long contested 2s and put backs is something i will never understand

    "Fatherless" tho?

    Pffft.

    You don't get it do you? The fact that his team is fighting to get into the post season.. Only to once again lose in the first round is a ? joke. If Orlando T Mac had his roster in this eastern conference there's no way they miss the playoffs let alone lose in the first round. He's the best player on that team and their leader by default and if your gonna call the guy a superstar which he clearly isn't he has to take responsibility for the Knicks failing not just this season but since he's been there. ? your excuses.

    You keep bringing up TMac like he was beating thru the playoffs.....His first two post season appearances he swept by the hornets and knicks....then got beat down by the bucks in one series then he thought he was going to the second round when they had the pistons 3-1 but they failed to advance...bruh just stop your melo hating it's making no sense what so ever

    It's not hate those are facts. If you wanna debate about T Mac that's a argument for another day but I like how you isolated that part of my post to respond to and ignored the rest.. nice tactic smh. Wins and loses are what separates the really good players from the greats. Melo isn't in the same class as KD/Westbrook/Kobe/Lebron hell even Harden and Dwight have had more post season success then he has.

    plus this forum is like high school.

    cats can't form they own opinions so they just follow others so that they can fit in. the knowledge is lacking on even the basic concepts of sports. most ppl are here for entertainment opposed to actually discussing sports.

    What?....you do realize the win and loss argument is more of a team effort not individual players....All those players had success in their careers but they didn't do it by themselves either

    i could've sworn westbrook and durant were on the same team and were able to grow and improve together hmm guess not. Bottomline ? outta here with that top 10 ? with kevin love or aldridge none of them players even been to the wcf much less finals and once again melos nuggets went up consistently against LA or spurs both teams who held that trophy.

    Those players have been in the league half as long as melo so ill give it a little more time before I call Love and Westbrook
    Out. Aldridge has just caught a bunch of bad breaks with Oden and Roy being injured for the majority of his prime but now that he has some help his team is playing great basketball. I don't dislike melo I just hate that people put him on this pedestal when he doesn't deserve it. Lebron was far more successful and had just as many accomplishments then melo before he won his first ring yet people still gave him ? but for some reason melo evades the scrutiny. Dwight gets ? on by the media almost on a nightly bases but if you look at his resume it's superior to Melos but if you ask anyone who had the better career they would respond "Carmelo" without even hesitating. He's a great scorer and he's even a fun player to watch but that's about it..

    Whoever come here for entertainment need to drink bleach and chase it with rat poison. ASAP.

    It can be entertaining at times but if you take the sports out of the equation then I'm out (word to me not posting in any other forum.)

    Co-sign the high school ish tho.

    Nikkas thinking you got something against them because you call'em out for saying dumb ? .


    Those the same nikkas that used to think their high school coaches never gave them PT because they "playing favorites."

    Nah, nikka, you just trash. lol

    So explain why melo has been in a weaker east and got swept in '11 to a team that didn't go to the finals,lost in 5 in '12,lost to a lower seed last season(for the 3rd time in his career) to another team that didn't go to the finals and this year the knicks 14-15 games under .500 in an terrible east.I can somewhat understand in the west not advancing cuz that conference has been tougher for years but the east?

    Explain that

    Let's say Melo went to the Bulls, who would be the best player on that team? Would it be the guy that scores the most and puts the casual fans in the seats, or is it the guy that anchors the best defense in the league, the guy that will lead the team in assists (if Rose isn't on the floor), the guy that will lead the team in rebounds, the guy that will lead the team in blocks, the guy that the team will rally around and go to war for, a guy that won't walk away from the team when things aren't going his way, which guy would it be? Because a lot of y'all sound upset or surprised Melo isn't in everyone's top 5, but unless we're talking about scoring that ? is far from a lock

    Why are you asking that like I'm saying something outlandish? The better question is you would pick Melo over Noah if you had a choice?
