This board refuses to respect Carmelo Anthony

[La Frescobaldi]

It's pretty simple.
PG plays both ends of the court and Anthony doesn't.
PG plays within the team offense; Anthony IS the offense.
PG defends the main scorers; Anthony defends the spot he is standing on.

how many times must I pay the troll toll?

Anthony being the team offense vs PG playing within the offense means that Anthony does more.

Anthony has held West to pretty bad totals this series, he is one of the main scorers, no?

Who's fault is that then. You can never win with 1 player as your offense. 76ers tried with Iverson and it failed, and so are the Knicks. This comes down to poor management by the organisation if what you said is actually what you believe.

No I don't like Anthony, but I do respect his game and how talented he is on offense. His effort on defense makes me not like him.

you are far too selective for me.
Why do you ignore the Murder of Linsanity? Coaches with enormous problems because of Anthony? Lack of defensive effort?
It's been known world-wide since the mid-sixties that one player carrying his team offensively is a blind alley.

stoudamire and billups are not wade and bosh.

STAT at that time was not that far behind Wade. Same goes for Billups.

stop lying

[AintNoSunshine]

Does he deserve more respect than what he's already getting? Hell to the no

[KyleKong]

all he has to do is go the lebron path. Go join another top player and another all star. He'll get a ring in no time. People will view him as an all-time great too.

He already did that

anthony is fake ass thug, horrible FG % shooter, ego maniac etc.

Hello, NBA scoring title?

.

melo's current supporting cast is about a gazillion times better than say durant's, or the one that lebron took to the finals in 07, or the one that iverson toook to the finals in 01.

Say what you want, but if you switch lebron and melo I guarantee you that the knicks become odds on favourites for the title.

Melo sidekicks are Jr 21% Smith and Felton... you know that guy that everyone mocked the Knicks for signing him. Yes gazillion times better!

You are obviously, a gazillion times stupid.

[Dagouch]

I swear do you people that actually watch Melo's games other than the feature game of the week?

Not that advanced stats are the be all and end all of an argument, but they are pretty definitive here. Lebron in 07 had 2 teammates with above average PER and 4 teammates with greater than 0.1 WS/48. Melo has 9 and 10 respectively this season. Can't get much clearer than that.

Iverson had 3 and 6.
Durant minus westbrook this year has 4 and 7.

No he won't, he's a black hole on offense and plays mediocre defense.

Why would i respect a chucker who will never win anything?
