He's a lock. And I kinda hate him.

it will take him YEARS to do anything of note. It was that way for Kobe, Lebron, etc, etc.

while it seems like Melo can never get out of the first round

So is Tracy McGrady a hall of famer?

I laugh who kill melo for not getting out of the first round when he lost to the spurs and lakerz...

"Lebron is a lot better all around player than Melo"
wow that sort of brilliant insight you just can't pay enough for...

had shown up against Indiana a couple of years ago - Melo might have a conference finals on his record

actually, Melo and the Nuggets did reach the Western Conference Finals in 2009, but lost to the Lakers in 6 games. That was probably the peak of Melo's career.

every bit as dumb now as he was at Boston College.

Melo has finished in the Top 10 of the MVP vote just two times. In '10 and '13, with '13 being the only year where he was actually in the MVP mix.

He's not overrated. The lack of any MVP-love whatsoever from the media is proof.

But he's overhyped for sure. The LeBron personal rivalry props Melo up by default because of Bron's greatness. Plus, Melo plays in NYC and gets a lot of national attention for his performance.

in the MVP mix in '13 either, everyone knew LeBron and Durant were better. But I consider him apart of the mix with that strong 3rd place finish.

Melo got plenty of attention in Denver. It's only when player play in NY that they're instantly considered "overrated".

See: Jeter, Derek

Jeter was listed as the most overrated player every freakin year. It wasn't true then and it's not true now. People just hate all things NY.

Need we mention Eli as well?

I think he wrestles on TNA now.

only 40 games (like Melo), then he's the greatest player of all-time in any sport.

respect about Carmelo is that he doesn't flop.

When I think about that statement, you're right. I never seen Melo flop. Actually most of the times I seen him bark at an official I always thought he had a genuine beef. I always wonder why officials respect Harden calls. Lebron appears to be trolling with his flops so I'm never sure to take him serious.

He never lived up to that 2nd contract. The Suns love to overpay for non-athletic guys that can shoot erratic threes.

lebron in his comparison shows how idiotic he is. As someone already said "breaking news, lebron is better then Melo" we all know that, i mean melo knows that. As for Lebron propping him up, that goes both ways as he has been unfairly compared to him his whole career.

who views Melo as a top 5 player? What a ridiculous statement. So of course he's overrated based on that made up classification.

Seriously?

I like Carmelo. But I disagree, at this point.

39th in career scoring and should easily crack the top 15, that probably gets him into the hall of fame pretty easily. Say what you will about him but he is a scorer.

Absolute lock. BASKETBALL HOF includes college... he has an NCAA title + his NBA accolades

8 time all star

39th all-time in scoring

If he averages his usual 1900 ish point per season he's a LOCK to finish top 20 all-time in scoring. I don't even especially like Melo but he's a LOCK. Joe Dumars and James Worthy are HOFers.

First Take yesterday as well. He was very complimentary of J Kidd as a coach..he must really want to re-sign with the Bucks.

The clippers traded a 2017 1st rounder to GET RID of Jared Dudley and sign Spencer Hawes. Has to be one of the worst trades I've seen, even if it was not that big of a move, especially when you got Austin Rivers and Hedo Turkoglu taking his would be minutes...

Well, you'd be wrong. Melo is 100% a HoFer.

You must not be very familiar with the Basketball hall of fame.

there are 14 current players with better HOF% (and all 14 will make it as well)


1. Kobe Bryant 1.0000
2. Tim Duncan 1.0000
3. Kevin Garnett 1.0000
4. LeBron James 1.0000
5. Dirk Nowitzki 1.0000
6. Dwyane Wade 0.9999
7. Chris Paul 0.9997
8. Ray Allen 0.9987
9. Paul Pierce 0.9974
10. Dwight Howard 0.9893
11. Chris Bosh 0.9864
12. Kevin Durant 0.9821
13. Vince Carter 0.9455
14. Tony Parker 0.9386

although I do think his being in NY has certainly amplified the calls.

They pulled the same crap with Melo when he was in Denver. No different from what they used to say about Barkley. To some writers, short of picking up an entire team and carrying them to the Finals, they're overrated.

side is I think Bosh might be the most underrated player in the NBA.

that move was made for financial reasons. They were up against the apron.

Playing with Lebron did nothing for him in terms of statistics. He looked like less of a player than he really is.

agree that he gets overlooked. On the other hand, he makes the all star team every year and has received three max contracts.

Bosh is a lock HOFer and has made 10 straight all-star games yet I'm sure the average fan would argue against him making the HOF.

wow. Laimbeer would take Lebron over MJ

No Piston bias there.

I dont get it. This has been Lebron's worst playoff performance in years. Shooting 43% from the floor, 16% from down town, 76% from the line, and averaging well over 4 turnovers per game.

Its commendable that he they got to the finals minus love and a hurt Kyrie, but Lebron has played much better in playoffs than he has this year.

And another reason why BR is the worst webpages on the Internet.

Are you kidding me with Vince Carter??? In what world would Vince make it and not Melo? And I love Vince. Its not like hes ever had playoff success himself when he was the lead man.

Melo already has as many All-Star games as Vince and 3 times as many All-NBA team selections than him and he is 8 years younger. You can go further and Melo has an NCAA Title and 2 more Olympic Medals.

I agree.

Melo is gonna drop at least 50 the next time he faces off against Dudley.
