Carmelo Anthony = Dominique Wilkins

[NugzFan]

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.

melo took a 17 win team and put them into the playoffs in some very difficult conferences every single year hes been in the league.

[NugzFan]

im still saying


melo = glenn robinson

as dumb of a comparison as it was years ago.

Dominique in his prime was a 30 PPG scorer with about 8 RPG and 1.5 SPG. He was also a far better leader than Melo and almost got the Hawks to the ECF in '88. Keep in mind the Hawks had a 3-2 lead on Boston in '88 before losing games 6 and 7.

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

pretty sure he meant nique and mac was a better comparison

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.

im mostly talking career and number-wise. like i said melo's more powerfull

Dominique Wilkins = Tracy McGrady

There aren't really a lot of small forwards in the current NBA that can score like the 80s contingent did. 'Nique averaged over 30 twice, and over 25 for about a decade. Alex English led the 1980s in the scoring and had i believe 8 straight 2000 point seasons. Adrian Dantley averaged over 30ppg 4 years in a row, and put up 29.8 two years later. Bernard King was putting up 33 ppg and on his way to a 2nd straight top 3 MVP vote (likely) before he wrecked his knee. Then there was Kiki Vandeweghe, Marques Johnson, Purvis Short, Mike Mitchell, Terry Cummings, Tom Chambers. Then of course there was Larry Bird and Dr J who were a whole level above all those guys.

i was comparing tmac to wilken retard

[tikay00]

nique is a finesse power dunker, melo is a power player with finesse skills.

And again the same holds true idiot. Tmac is a better defensive player and playmaker than Nique was.

@this kid calling someone retarded like his comparison holds up still.

[GOBB]

pretty sure he meant nique and mac was a better comparison

Still a bad comparison.

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

I think King is a decent comparison. Game wise.

In spite of the holes in Jellos game I think he might improve as he gets older and starts to get it. The nugs as built and led now are not a great environment for him to fine tune his game... If a team lets you freelance and you keep doing it, you never improve. Webber didn't start to hone his game 'tel he was off the bullets for instance.

[Mathius]

Despite his off court issues, VC = Dominique.

And Glenn Robinson was a better player than you guys give him credit for. Played on some bad teams.

As far as career achievements, T-Mac isn't so bad. Not talent wise in which T-Mac was a lot better. But Melo is pushing 5 years out of the first round and being just a scoring giant only really.

[incxpinoy]

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
