Carmelo Anthony vs Kevin Durant, whats the difference?

[ThunderStruk022]

pauk is so terrified

I think this is the best way to view it. With every Durant vs. __________ thread he's just getting more and more insecure and realizing, at 23, Durant is catching up to LeBron in a hurry.

well, a Melo vs Durant thread. This is new.

anyhow, KD is a great player but the difference btwn him and Melo isn't as great as some wanna make it sound.

Its funny 'cuz Melo, who supposedly has the "most overrated" tag attached to him by many posters, gets bashed so much in comparison to his peers, that I actually find him to be UNDERRATED on this board.

KD is a more efficient player I'll give you that. Taller/longer, better finisher, better shooter. But Melo is a great shooter in his own right, and has a much better frame to absorb and dish out contact. Both are insanely hard to guard on most nights.

IMO Melo's the better rebounder. As for defense gimme a break, KD's defense is nothing special. Tired of this "much better defender" crap.

KD is the better player overall, but its closer than perceived, not some canyon-wide gap like the Melo-haters/KD-lovers would want you to believe.

BTW, why do ppl refuse to take KD's superstar teammates into account when discussing his 'greatness'???

Westbrook may have pretty low PG IQ but the kid is a bonafide stud, and Harden has an argument for being considered the best 2-guard in the league at the moment.

The KD/Westbrook/Harden trio is possibly the best in the league w/ only MIA having a trio worthy of being in that discussion.

''a low self esteem prostitute who wishes to see much more women engaged in prostitution''

that's Lebron and his jockers

Lebron is the prostitute of the NBA
his jockers are the prostitutes of ISH

They both can only dunk because of their length, so I'd say they are not different at all.

Melo is not on Durant's level

The better question is whats the difference between tmac and ray allen. One is overrated because of statpadding just like lebron while the other one is a winner like durant. Durant at age 23 already made a team a contender or even 21 coz theres no difference really in the west between 8th seed and 1st seed while lebron at age 23 is not even a playoff team in the west.
