Better Scorer: Kobe or Melo?

[The Italian]

I don't recall seeing a thread like this (at least not for a while) so I decided to make it. Sorry if this is old and recycled.

Anyways, who do you think is the better scorer, Kobe or Melo?

[aahhsin]

81 is 81.

[ihatetimthomas]

theres no thread bc clearly kobe at this stage is the superior offensive talent. I like melo, he is a very good scorer, but kobe is damn near unstoppabale at times and makes insane shots in the paint and beyond the arc

The black guy who's known in Colorado.

I'd be embarrassed to ask that question! And it's not even like Melo is the second best scorer in the league. I'd have LeBron, McGrady, Wade, and Arenas ahead of Melo. Heck, I'd even go to Shaq for an easy quick 2 before I go to Melo! To be honest I don't even know why he's on the US team! They need to select players that can play well at international level, not just elite NBA players. Guys like Prince, Bowen, Chandlar, Marion, Josh Smith, Oden, can be added around guys like Kobe etc. The more recent out of college they are, the better they will be at international level! Melo is good but not a Superstar!

Melo's closer than a hell of a lot of people think, but Kobe takes it.

1v1 though? Anyone?

Would you really? Shaq can't hit those bank shots like he used to.

anyway, Kobe, by a margin.

[ForceOfNature]

Kobe is the correct answer.

[Prodigy]

Kobe has been pretty much unstoppable these past couple years especially in the playoffs. If he misses it isn't because of your defense, but because he missed. I've seen him light up the Suns the way Jordan did it back in 93.

Bryant, and it isn't by an inch, either.

Oh please. Lebron, Wade, Tmac arent better scorers than Melo. Even Arenas isnt.

Melo is all about consistency people. He never takes a rediculous amount of shots...scores at a high rate and does it very efficiently. His offensive repertoire is better than any of those guys you mentioned.

Kobe is 1. Melo is 2. Arenas is a close third.

I was looking for hidden white text to see if this thread was a joke

i'm well aware you're probably a troll, but...

melo is one of the top FIBA basketball players in the world. to metion prince, bowen, marion in the same sentence as him is a complete insult.

nope. Wade is better than Melo.
Melo averaged only 1.5 pts more BUT
Wade shot over 49% (Melo 47%)
AND
did so while dishing out twice as many assists. THAT'S impressive ****ttt.

wade has shaq...of course he has more open shots....melo was by himself until AI came...stats are overrated..melo is a better scorer watch a basketball game.
