Well Paul George has 1 less scoring title, and more playoff success than Melo has (in Georges 3 years)Why don't you post Paul George's since that's who you are saying is better than Melo
Paul George is not even in the same neighborhood as Melo. Melo had a 24.8 PER last year , lead the Knicks to the 2nd best record without a 2nd option, and lead the NBA in scoring.
Paul George is a great all around player but very inefficient on offense. He had a 16.8 PER last year, was arguably the 3rd most important player on his team, and shot 41.9 from the field while turning the ball over 2.9 times with a 23.5 usage rate. That made George the worst high usage offensive player in the NBA last season. The kid has a lot of potential but he really needs to improve on offense before he can be a decent number 1 offensive option. Meanwhile Melo is an elite offensive option.
It's the defense and passing that holds Melo back more than anything..
Isiah thomas is comparable to Starbury on there. Whats your point?
No he hasn't changed at all.He didn't change his game last season? News to me.
and if you define failure by not winning a championship, then sure he is a failure along with a lot of other great players. His 2nd best scoring option has been JR since he's been in NY, it was supposed to be Amare and he is made of glass.
It takes 5 on the court and great coaching to win.
Nobody does.
If Pual George is elite at his position for rebounding and passing, then so is melo, seeing as how he posts about 6.5rpg a game and 3.4 apg. Unless you wanna classify PG as a 2 guard, then that would only make him a elite rebounder and a below average passer.Well Paul George has 1 less scoring title, and more playoff success than Melo has (in Georges 3 years)
George is pretty inefficient, but are we really going to use Melo as a measuring rod for inefficiency?
Melo is an elite level scorer
George is an elite defender, an elite rebounder for his position, and a good passer. I never said he was the better #1 option, but he is definitely the better player
Paul George was extremely inefficient offensively
Somehow, when talking NBA players, this point always manages to get lost in the shuffle. It never fails.It takes 5 on the court and great coaching to win.
College national championship, Two time Olympian it's the basketball Hof not the Nbathose numbers mean something?

Kobe Bryant is rated as being 101 of all time there
Well Paul George put up 8 rebounds and 4 assists last season to go with 1.8 steals, compared to Melos 7,3 and 0.8 steals. So no.If Pual George is elite at his position for rebounding and passing, then so is melo, seeing as how he posts about 6.5rpg a game and 3.4 apg.

Seriously? Lol. What about that roster screams NBA finals to you? As a matter of fact, let's back up. Melo clogs the lane? Really? You have no clue what you're talking about.No he hasn't changed at all.He didn't change his game last season? News to me.

Yes, it's championship or die, especially wit the antics he pulled to get himself to play for the Knicks...smh. Amare is good and can play, but it's the fact Melo is pretty hard to play with when he clogs up the lane every time he has the ball. And like I said before, he isn't a playmaker. Lebron James can do that because he can see plays and make plays for his teammates, 9 times out of 10 Melo is going to shoot or pass it out, so the player can kick it back to him...smh.
Tell me how this cast of teammates can't get you to the NBA Finals?

Bro, Melo is better than Dirk? HELL NO.
Dirk lead his team to a championship just 2 years ago, with Jason Terry as his #2, *****. Even if he never wins another game, he's achieved more than Melo.
Dwight Howard took Orlando to the promise land with Hedo and Rashard Lewis as his #2 and #3.....Much more success than Melo getting knocked out
Honestly, Paul George is better than Melo

this is without a question...Melo ego would have gotten Westbrook or him traded, so I doubt the OKC with Melo instead of KD would have even been in the playoffs tbh.I know we all love Durant and I like almost everyone else agree he is easily the 2nd best player in basketball...
But just for arguments sake lets say we put Melo on OKC last season and KD on the Knicks. Does that drastically change how the season winds up for both those teams? Because IMO it doesn't, KD might lead them past the Pacers but its not a guarantee.
false...Nique shot 46% from the field, was the best dunker the NBA seen at that point (Yes better than Julius and Jordan), and was playing at a pretty high level until he was 35. I ain't saying Melo ain't making the HOF, but please don't try to discredit a legend.Why is nique in the HOF? He made it out the first round like 3 times and shot 42% from the field. see what i did there
Melo also averages more rebounds and assists and points for his career. dont play that game. stick to last season buddy. And even if you did, 27 7 & 3 on 45% and 38%>>>>>>>> 17 8 & 4 on 41% and 36% lolWell Paul George put up 8 rebounds and 4 assists last season, compared to Melos 7 and 3. So no.
Also, George averaged 2 t/o per game for his career, Melo averages 3.
and then theres the other side of the ball.Melo also averages more rebounds and assists and points for his career. dont play that game. stick to last season buddy. And even if you did, 27 7 & 3 on 45% and 38%>>>>>>>> 17 8 & 4 on 41% and 36% lolWell Paul George put up 8 rebounds and 4 assists last season, compared to Melos 7 and 3. So no.
Also, George averaged 2 t/o per game for his career, Melo averages 3.
I'm talking about the playoffs...look it up he shot about 42% for his career, same as Melo. Melo also shoots 45% from the field for his career. In fact, their numbers are practically identical.this is without a question...Melo ego would have gotten Westbrook or him traded, so I doubt the OKC with Melo instead of KD would have even been in the playoffs tbh.

Can't fault fans for believing in their team. But let the record reflect I had the Heat repeating from the outset of the seasonhave ya been in knicks thread or other sites? a majority believe they were really gonna knock off the heat. reg season successSeriously?

when you are being compared to Lebron you best get yourself to the Finals with anyone.Seriously? Lol. What about that roster screams NBA finals to you? As a matter of fact, let's back up. Melo clogs the lane? Really? You have no clue what you're talking about.
very well, but not great. He has skills and I think Melo has the best scoring mechanics, but that doesn't mean he is the best scorer in the NBA. Dispute the fact Lebron isn't a better jumpshooter than Melo, he is a better scorer than Melo.his game has been the same since he got in the league. it's not a knock on him, he does what he does very well (scoring). he isn't as great and as terrible as some on here make it seem. one of the better players in today's gm, but in my opinion, he isn't an all-time great in the history of basketball. is he a top 50? prob not, but he has been a solid pro.
