Flip Saunders said Metta World Peace and "the guy who threw beer on him at the Palace of Auburn Hills fight" were supposed to meet yesterday... but it didn't work out.

Do you guys think Melo is under rated? We know he's a superstar but I have never seen him be considered top 5 in the league. It has always been kobe lebron Durant cp3 derrick rose wade dirk or duncan interchangeably. Arguably hes the hardest to cover after lebron and the best scorer with KD. You can say his defense is average but he looks excellent compared to Dirk. I guess playing in Denver didn't give him exposure.

Ugh. Melo is Paul Pierce before the big 3. He makes his teammates worse, not better. There's a whole thread on this though. He's not on the level of Bron/Durant/CP3/Prime Dirk.

Melo is not a superstar. This is the first season he's playing like one, but he his not a superstar. He isn't in the top 5 in the L either.
Simply put, if Lebron, Durant, Kobe, Dwight, Chris Paul, and even Dwyane Wade are superstars, Carmelo Anthony is not a superstar.
From my perspective, a superstar above all else, wins. A superstar changes the culture of a team. Gets out of the first round, deep playoff runs, finals appearances, things of that nature. A superstar is not a player who gets out of the first round 1 time in the first 10 years of his time in the NBA.
Can he become a superstar? Sure. He appears to be making the strides in that direction. (However, I feel like he's not doing anythign he hasn't done before. As a team though, they are winning which makes Melo looks like he's "different." But I digress)
But for now, Carmelo i san All Star type of player. Fills it up and shoots a lot of shots and makes all star games. Which isn't a bad thing, just not a superstar.

I know he's having his best season and I don't care if people give him the superstar label at this point but can we please stop comparing his scoring ability to KD's?

Thats the thing though he's not having his best season. Its the impression you get now though because his team is number 1-2 in the east. He operated the same way in Denver.
As far as scoring melo goes blow for blow with KD. You need to see them play for team usa n notice those two were blowing it up. They can literally score the ball anywhere on the floor.
@Shoeking2101 you bring valid pts ..repped
