Who you taking RIGHT now....Marc or DJ?
right now, DJ easily. And i dont even like DJ as a CLipper fan.
But Marc of two years ago or DJ of now? Marc in a landslide.
He has too many what ifs with health coming up. I hope he gets through it. Plays the right way and a much more "championship" player.

Billups and AI were the alphas on that team. Yes Melo was the best player, but he wasn't the Alpha. He needs someone giving him the ball in the right spots, that's why he excels on the USA team. He doesn't have to dominate the ball. Going to the Knicks has proved all of that because he's in a far weaker conference and can't even sniff the playoffs. If he was a great Alpha they could at least make the 8th seed every year barring the year he shut it down for injury.

Right or Wrong, Melo is always going to be compared to LeBron because they came into the league together and are seen as peers/rivals. Every star has that "other" guy that their careers are intertwined with. Just like Magic/Bird.
Unless you were a child or living under a rock back in 03...you know how closely their careers were linked. One didn't get mentioned without the other and they were constantly compared to each other. Just because one significantly surpassed the other doesn't mean it's "unfair" to still recognize the fact that they are linked to each other.

This whole idea around "alpha" and "beta" has to be the worst **** to hit sports debates in a long long time.

But how because we had the best example of it in OKC. Two incredible players but Russ was clearly the Alpha and KD was the Beta.

Exactly, he had chance to leave and go elsewhere with better roster
Best player he had last season was Langston Hughes
