SI goes IN on Melo, explaining why he didn't make top 10 for upcoming season

[JellyBean]

Reads more like an article of why his team is not top 10 as opposite to him being evaluated as a player.

I agree.

Like he really cares. He's laughing all the way to the bank. Dude will have a break out season this year - so glad he stayed with the Knicks and didn't sign with a crappy franchise like Chicago or Houston... or even worse, Miami.

Boing!

No one is going anywhere with that Knicks team

Melo was a beast last year. He's never going to be able to dominate a game like LeBron does, but his scoring and rebounding is elite.

Melo is definitely a top 10 player.

Damn. Straight roasted the dude.

Exactly! It's a team game

People ALWAYS gloss over the fact that Melo got Denver to the Western Finals.

Following the perception of Melo over the years has been interesting. I thought he was pretty overrated many years ago in Denver. Especially when he was teamed up with another overrated scorer in AI and everyone was waiting for them to roll off titles because dat ppg superstar tandem. Doesn't seem like he's made any major leap since then. Dissing Melo has become more popular since he became a Knick, but a lot people still think he's a game changer for some reason.

The only perception bump I can get is that he feasted in international games awhile back, but that's much to brag about is it? Or hanging 60+ on shit teams.
