My dude Shaq was the definition of DOMINANCE!!!
 
PG's injury is just a reminder to me of how futile being a contender in the NBA is.

As a contender in the NBA you have what? 3, maybe 4 years of being a contender before the **** goes to pieces and your team breaks down via trades, injuries, Free agency, coaching, etc. That's why when you have a chance you have to make the most of it because things just start to happen.

Look at OKC, finally got to the chip, couldn't win and since have lost their star 2 guard, have lost their PG for a playoff run, lost their best big for a playoff run, meanwhile years are going by and teams are getting better.

Look at Indy. Were on the cusp for like 3 years, couldn't get over it now they have lost their 2 guard, and their status as contenders looks to be in serious jeopardy after loosing their star for an entire year due to injury, and next year as a contender is likely thrown out the window as a result.

I never blamed Melo for any of his postseason shortcomings (he is the reason his teams even made the playoffs), however this year it ends.

Melo legacy will be judged on two factors:

1. How close the Knicks ever come to a championship

2. If the Bulls ever make it to or win a championship

People will always look back and will say he chose money over winning, if the Bulls have more success than the Knicks, or if the Knicks don't win one ring (one or the other)

see thats why when ppl say dwight is great etc.... a dominant player i often chuckle... shaq was putting up historically numbers and dominating a league in an era with arguably the best bigs in nba history.... while dwight is just slight above most in a time where the nba has arguably the weakest/worst set of bigs.

Imagine a prime shaq in this era of bigs.... dude would probably put up playoffs/finals numbers on a nightly basis... I could realistically see shaq getting 30 plus a night 15 plus rebounds and about 3/4 blocks on the regular.

Just because Dwight doesn't put up Shaq dominant numbers doesn't make him not dominant. Dwight is not "slight above average" stop that. Just stop comparing Dwight to Shaquille. No one is going to be Shaquille. Let Dwight be dwight.
 
I dont mind if people call Melo a loser or w.e BUT If you call Melo a loser then you pretty much have to call Cp3 aka "the best PG in the game" a loser as well.

CP3 is a loser and he has a 15 man roster full of talented players yet people dont hate on him or talk crap. No idea why. He hasnt done a damn thing in this league.
 
This Guy really ask AW to make his sales pitch to Lebron on why he should be a Cleveland Cavaliers :eek :{

Best Center of All-Time in my list. The scary thing is, he actually underachieved.

Damn, I wish the NBA had a good center.

didnt say he was slightly above average (although when comparing to all time greats he would be) what i said is he is slightly above better then most of the current centers.... when shaq was in his prime it was shaq...then pretty much everyone else. My point is alot of ppl try to say dwight has that type of dominance in this era...to which im like nah... he is tops but its not like he is some man amongst boys like shaq was and how many claim dwight currently is.

Sounds like the thread is slowly but surely realizing the Knicks will see playoffs.
Some now agreeing on the Atlantic title.
Next will be their experience with Phil Fish Melo and that triangle, ECF looking possible eh?

I only count the 3 postseason trips with the Clips, as him being a loser. The 3 with the Hornets, I consider accomplishments.

But Dwight isnt close to other great NBA centers in the history of the game

Does he compare with Wilt, Kareem, Russell, Hakeem, Moses, Robinson, Ewing, Zo, Lanier or Reed?
 
For all the hate LeBron gets about his hairline....

All Bald Team:

PG - Magic Johnson
SG - Michael Jordan
SF - LeBron James
PF - KG
C - Shaq

Wiggins actually answered that's not a good look...

Hope who he is which actually showed by answering that does reflect his game on the court..
