I want you to meditate on two words. Sustained excellence.
It may have been harsh but I'm giving you real talk. Carmelo is a great scorer. I'm glad he's improving after 8 years. Just in time for his physical tools to erode and he'll be out of the league. lol

Carmelos game isnt based on supreme physical gifts like leaping ability, elite level quickness/speed, or mammoth size. He barely dunks, and hes rather slow moving. His game is all skill, and those are the type of players who last long in this league... Think Paul Pierce. If anything Melo is extremely strong, but the strength and bulk he uses to absorb contact and push around defenders doesnt disappear, youre born with that, its genetics, and not something that goes away especially in your 30s. I see plenty ofguys in their mid 30s outlifting guys in their 20s at the gym.

I hope you don't mind. If Kobe ever gets fat this is the rap that I'm going to use. I'll just tell people about how stong he is and how his bulk absorbs contact. lol

How long have you been watching Kobe? Young Kobe was a slasher whos dunking ability rivaled Vince Carters. Hed blow by defenders with a quick first step and throw it down on some of the best big men around. But ofcourse you wouldnt know that, my guess is youve only been watching basketball for a few years.
Google the terms: "Ectomorph" , "Mesomorph" , and "Endomorph". Those are he 3 body type categories, and most people are a mix of the 3. There is no "right or wrong" bodytype (unless someone is morbidly obese ofcourse); people are born with different bone structure and genetic composition.
Some people are naturally very skinny and childlike in their bodys like Steph Curry, some are overtly muscular like Dwight Howard, some are naturally overweight like Zach Randolph, and others are somewhere in between like Melo. Why does Zach Randolph have a fat face and soft musculature despite all the time he spends in the gym? Its genetics and hes an effective player both despite it and because of it

Melo relies heavily on his quickness, what are you talking about?
Re: Carmelo Anthony is currently the best player in basketball
[QUOTE=NewYorkNoPicks]How or why do you even remember 1 specific post from ME out of all posterss, a guy who has maybe started 10 threads TOTAL sice joining a year and a half ago? Based on my total posts i averaged 2 to 3 posts a day which are usually replys burrried in threads like this one. So for you to remember things ive said months ago is pretty pathetic. Dont you have more important things to dedicate space in your mind to? Guess not
And yes I did say im TIRED of teams like Houston and San Antonio lucking into player after player. Never once did i say the nba needs to correct it in some manner. I never said it was time for Houston to FAIL as if it should become a bylaw in the league handbook, or some official problem that needs correcting. Being fed up that Houston had the Olajuwan era, the Barkley/Pippen superteam era, the Steve Francis era (a #2 overall pick who FORCED his way to your team by refusing to play for the Grizzlies), then the T-Mac era. So YES im tired of Houston cconsistently have a competitive team. I never said the nba needs to have some kind of rule to change it dumbass. Dont you get tired of the same shit over and over and over again? Most people do
But i digress...this thread is about Melo, and most likely hes better than any player on your favorite team. People who are losing arguments always bring up tidbits irrelevant to the discussion at hand[/QUOTE]
You took your time typing this post. You even edit it 15 minutes later. Guess what? You still sound like a ****ing idiot. Keep on ranting. I don't remember shit about you. Just that one post in particular. If anything that speaks volumes of how pathetic, comical, and worthless that post was. And I lol'd after reading your garbage once again. Its really pathetic that you feel that way.

Now I know for sure your mother drank heavily when she was pregnant with you.
Let's play the retard game and use another 5 game stretch from this year.
[B]March 17th-24th: [/B]
[U]Carmelo Anthony [/U]
14. ppg / 5.8 rpg / 2.8 apg / 1.2 spg / 0.389 FG% / 0.117 3P FG%
Remember when you were........ oh right, you were nowhere to be found during then. :oldlol:
Figures a dickmuncher like you is only posting when Carmelo plays like the guy the Knicks traded half their team for.
Kill yourself. Please.
Re: Carmelo Anthony is currently the best player in basketball
Carmelo is a taller JR Smith.

Re: Carmelo Anthony is currently the best player in basketball
It is official ... 5 games = GOAT :facepalm
The more important discussion is who are bigger trolls ... Lebron fanbois or Melo fanbois?
At least Lebron has a couple of MVPs and Finals appearances ... what does Melo have? Oh that is right ... a few good regular season games.
Re: Carmelo Anthony is currently the best player in basketball
NYK need to trade Amar'e or amnesty him. He and Melo cannot co-exist. Two years have proven this.
Re: Carmelo Anthony is currently the best player in basketball
Lebron and Durant have been playing like this the whole year and now Melo is the best because he can do it for a few games?
