I'll play: I would Love to see KG's record before he got traded to Boston to play with 2 hall of famers and won a title. What was that, like 1 first round exit in 7 years?
Fact is, to say that you've led a team to the playoffs in every single year you've been in the NBA has to stand for something.
How many times has CP3 got out the first round? That's right ONCE. You see this guy has made the playoffs only 4 times, so 1 out of 4 in 7 years doesn't seem so bad now does it?
Melo came at the wrong time. I don't think you guys understand how ridiculous the Western Conference was during this Era. You had to win 50 games just to get in, and if you did, you had to face teams that eventually went on to win the title, or to the WCF. Oh and Melo>Lebron in 03-04 btw. Still dumbfounded how he didnt get the rookie of the year, maybe that explains how he got so lazy lol.
I'll admit though, His performance in the playoffs outside of 09 has been sub par.

Not Lebron.Originally Posted by devildog1776
, stop listening to the ESPN geeks... Melo can score on anyone at anytime from anywhere on the court... there are only a handful of people who can do that today in this league... watching Melo since his rookie year, I know he's the top scorer in the league not named Kobe or Durant.. Watch melo go to work on Chicago a few weeks ago.... the top Defense in the league

he was never in the top 10

Bron has a higher career PPG & FG% in the regular season and playoffs, as does Wade.

I would hope so, he's always league tops in FTA (Wade too). Melo is a jumpshooter, not a slasher like the former.

What does that have to do with Melo being an inferior scorer than them?

Eddy Curry has led the league in fg% before as has Nene, and Biedrins. Maybe we should put them atop everyone's list of top scorers in the league

not sure if serious. Comparing a C to a SF instead of comparing a SF to a SF.Originally Posted by melofan15

you gotta look beyond he stats bro. higher fg% and ppg does not mean better scorer. Melo and bron are both sf's but one is a slasher and one is a jump shooter.
melo can literally score from anywhere on the floor. on the block, mid range, beyond the 3, and he's 80% from the line whereas wade and lebron tend to drive more and draw more fouls while their shooting, though improved throughout their careers, is a weaker part of their game.

Look at the "A" under the "At rim" category:
Virtually identical attempts at the rim for the past 6 years. But one's a slasher & one is a jump shooter, right?
He scores more points than Melo while scoring more efficiently than Melo. Bron is a superior scorer.

I like how people are saying he's the top scorer in the league not named Kobe or Durant. Then what you're saying is he's the third best scorer in the league.

He's having a hell of a year. He's doing the 2 things his critics including myself were waiting for: cut way down on the isos, and play with intensity on the defensive end. He's playing by far the best ball of his career now.
