Why do people believe Carmelo Anthony is as good as Lebron on offense(if not better)?

[Pacers4ever]

People say it because Carmelo's offensive repertoire is better than Lebron's. I say that and I actually hate Carmelo.

I see so having a better offensive repertoire leads carmelo to only having 1 pint per game than lebron on 12 % less shooting efficiency. Interesting. Seems like he has a better arsenal of scoring maneuvers but they are no where near as successful or mastered as lebron's few abilities to score.

It is now a myth.. It was true but now Lebron has developed a consistent jumper and 3 point shot to go with his improved post up game and he is still best in league taking ball to basket. In a nutshell Lebron is not as limited as he used to be offensively and Melo although great is not as efficient either. I have no problem people calling Melo better scorer although I know Lebron could be but he is focused on making right play and winning which is a couple of the reasons why he is a better player.

Didn't say they were more successful or more effective captain fuggin obvious. I'm stating that Carmelo has a better offensive repertoire. I'm saying that's why people could be saying it.

I guess peole want Lebron to play more Melo ball. Maybe pass less and all that. That's all I can think of. Somebody told me it's cause Melo's game just looks so much better lol.

Wouldn't a "better" offensive repertoire be synonymous to a "more effective" offensive repertoire? It's a game with a huge sample size - how good something is, is defined by how effective it is.

Melo's might be more diverse or fluid, but that doesn't make it better.

[The Choken One]

I agree. Melo as far as shooting and skill is better offensively. LeBron just is bigger & stronger and takes it to the rack better. Not to mention the league loves him.

I can't explain it. I feel Lebron's size helps him out more than his skill if that makes any kind of sense at all lol. If Melo and Lebron were the same size and they had the exact same repertoires as they do now, I don't think Lebron would be as effective as he is right now. shit did that sound right?

Doesn't size factor in to his "offensive repertoire".

That's a horrible argument if lebron was carmelo anthony size (which is only a 1 inch difference and is not lebron's fault melo doesn't stay in good shape) wouldn't he focus on difference aspects on his game? He's not a retard. If MJ was CP3 size would he still be goat

Don't try to pick apart that post. I don't think it came out right. I can't explain what I'm trying to say.

No worries. If melo were a better finisher at the rim he would easily be the best scorer in the league. it's really strange how bad he is.

[kenny817]

27 per game on 57% shooting. I think he's doing ok

Bron is stat padding. Nothing more

Also...he's my fave player so no hate

I'm talking about Carmelo's moves. If LBJ was the same size as Melo, I don't know if he'd still be scoring the same way he does now. He just got the post game this season. I just can't say it's more skill than size.
