Carmelo Anthony = Dominique Wilkins

[1987_Lakers]

Does anyone else think of Dominique Wilkins when you talk about Carmelo?

Both great scorers but thats about it. Not much team success. Of course Carmelo didn't have the athletic ability Dominique had and Carmelo certainly didn't have Dominique's dunking ability.

No I dont. Did you pick Nique because 1. He was recently mentioned or 2. Because the comparison has rarely if ever been used so you thought you found a gem

[Cangri]

Don't insult Dominique

Do was a lil' more gifted offensively than Anthony. But I'm afraid you're right when you say they don't win with their teams...

[Scott Pippen]

disagree

[Dasher]

Horrid comparison.

[YoungRich]

i thinks tmac is a better comparison. Ecspecialy on the Magic when he dunked more and scored around 30 ppg. But niether are close to Niq: how is carmello like him at all??

Well, a rich man's version of Robinson anyway. Offensively I'd say he has a good bit more in common with Bernard King.

Not a good comparison. Dominique was much more gifted athletically and he could jump higher. Melo is a craftier scorer and better low post player.

glenn was a better shooter. melo is better with his back to the basket game.

other than that their careeers are eerie identical. the scoringnumbers are a bit different due to the teams being made up differently

[GOBB]

The Big Dog comparison is weak too. Carmelo is more athletic, bigger, stronger and does more damage in the post than Glenn ever could. He's a more explosive scorer as well.

Tmac is a better defensive player and playmaker than Carmelo. Try again.
