Carmelo Anthony Teaching Blake Griffin a thing or two

[NuggetsFan]

@ people acting like shooting jumpers and having a mid range game is a bad thing.

Agreed. People just care about numbers which are obviously important as well but nobody gives a f*ck about versatility sadly.

This video also shows why Griffin isn't a better shooter, his release isn't right and he's shooting too much with his middle and ring finger.

Blake was hardly trying.

Melo's signature = the lazyboy pullup

Blake was hardly trying.

We talking about practice, man. Not a game. Not a game. We talking about practice.

And this is exactly why Melo is not the best scorer in the league and completely overrated because all he does is shoot jumpers.

I advise you to watch basketball sometime. It's a good sport to watch.

Not sure if serious. Lebron has 3rd highest ppg average EVER and 4th highest in playoff history. Lebron has 9 50+ point games melo has 2. Lebron has a scoring title melo doesn't. Lebron has averaged 30+ ppg twice, melo has never averaged 29 ppg. Lebron shoots higher from the field and 3pt range. Lebron has led playoffs in ppg twice melo never. Lebron out scores melo head to head. Lebron is a better scorer period

Just because LeBron is EXCELLENT at a few things doesn't make him a better scorer. Melo is much more versatile in his offensive game.

Does versatility trump effectiveness?

I'm surprised the NY media hasn't blamed the Blake injury on Melo yet.

All Melo does is shoot jumpers? You're confusing him with Durant. Melo is the most versatile scorer in the NBA. He can face up, drive in, post up, and has crazy range. I would take him as the #2 scorer in the NBA without question.

If you want to know something interesting, Durant gets to the FT line more than Melo does and averages more paint/rim FGM than Melo does.

Melo has the ability to score in multiple ways but more times than not he just settles for jumpers.

Melo is not even a top 3 scorer in the game. Durant, Lebron, and either or both Kobe/Dirk are better scorers than Melo.
