Either of them in my opinion. Harden and Parker were basically a wash to me but Harden played 12 more games and 800+ more minutes.

Few qualms with the all nba teams. However, Russ West should be over CP on that first team.

Stop putting Carmelo's name next to LeBron's. This should have stopped 10 years ago.

During majority of that time, who played in the tougher conference? You're not going to factor that into your equation though are you? The west is far superior to the east but I'm sure you know that.

The third team is about right for Harden.
I don't know if I could put him over TP, Russ, (Should be on the 1st team,) Cp, or Kobe.

You're acting like Melo and Wade can't rebound and/or pass. That's simply ******ed thinking. People said the same thing about Kobe though so I get it. Melo is a ****** defender but Wade isn't. The team would have to work around what they all do best but it would work just like it's working for the Heat now. Wade can still play. The thing is, he made a sacrifice for the greater good of his team. Him and LeBron can't both be front the front man. Wade has won a title with a lot less talent than he has now correct? Who the hell said LeBron isn't great? I never once said that. Only an idiot would say that.

I don't see it.
Lebron rarely takes bad shots. Always finds the open man. Can play any position effectively. All melo can do is score. He wouldn't even fit in there offense. Wade lebron and bosh are the definition of a perfect tandem. Look what clippers, and lakers did together with there superstars.
I'm not saying your wrong because obviously nobody knows in hypotheticals. But just being superstars doesn't mean victories in the playoffs. It takes coaching and chemistry. Example. San Antonio, Detroit, jordans bulls, show time lakers, Larry's celtics. If you swap around some of those superstars it just wouldn't be the same.
Therefor I don't see melo meshing well with bosh or wade.

You're telling me Lebron wouldn't have beaten the Lakers in the WCF the year the Nuggets got to it? Lol Lebron would have made that roster greatMelo has played with top teams?
LeBron would have won a title with Denver's roster?
You clearly don't know the difference between good and great so, I'm going to leave this be.

@ at this Melo talk. Pacers would destroy Miami if they replaced Melo with LeBron

Oh yeah with the great defense of Melo with his capabilities of passing/rebounding.
Like Wade would let his butt take the team over.

Steph Curry over Wade
And Al Horford over Dwight
and lol at Kobe being in the 1st team

the elite status are for the great players who deliver results. why cant melo fans be happy that he is a good solid player. if/when he starts winning, he will get his praise. until then, he is a good player with a few patches on his all star jacket, just not as many as the best in the league.

When were Melo's team ever even favored in a majority of those series? Facing Lakers/Spurs half the time is not the same as Wizards/Nets during the Cavs trip to the Finals. Only twice were they even favored and one of those times they went to the West Finals and lost to the Lakers.
I understand its either love/hate with the guy but some of ya'll are jokes.
Comparing Melo to Lebron

So your saying Bron is the only guy in the league that could have gotten 60+ wins with that team?
I will reiterate for the millionth time. Lebron is the best player in the league. No1 is arguing that. But that team making the Finals isnt exactly coming out of nowhere. Whether its Melo, Durant, CP3 or even James Harden for that matter would probably be around the same position in the East.
Half the time, Bron isnt even out there playing his hardest because he just doesnt have to. Lebron playing at 85% speed/performance the whole year pretty much yields the same results as the rest of those guys going 100 all year. Lebron doesnt really turn up until the 4th if his team is down. He just sorta coasts to his stats. Dude put up the most low key triple double last night and I wouldnt have even known he had it or was even close until they said he had it.
Im not discrediting Brons skillset. Just saying its not exactly the most impressive thing in the league that this team is where they are.

I wish there was player a vs b vs c bs d etc thread.
Most people posting this stuff is just to validate their own opinions, if you don't agree you're an idiot and you don't watch basketball or you've never dribbled a day in your life.
People love lebron, Kobe mike, Carmelo. Chances are what you say in a few hundred word post isn't going to change their minds.
Ready for Saturday and the playing to begin already.

I would have gone:
Gasol, LeBron, Durant, Paul and Westbrook
Duncan, Griffin, Melo, Kobe and Harden
Howard, Lee, George, Parker (missed 16 games!) and Wade (or Curry since Wade missed 9 more games than him)

Kobe had a great season, his team just didnt
But harden took a lottery team to the playoffs, he should not be on the 3rd team

I think you're severely overlooking what LeBron does night in and night out.
THANK YOU. He's a very good player. Just appreciate him for what he is. Stop with the LeBron comparisons. Stop with the Durant comparisons. Stop with the MVP talk. Just stop.

He was ballin last night. But you can honestly say you knew he was close to the triple double before they announced it? If you did then good for you. Im just saying he made that triple double look real easy last night.
I feel like some of you are taking one sentence out of what I say and running with it. Bron is a freak. But the team around him are no bums. That is all that im saying. No1 in the league is on his level. But he doesnt even have to play to the best of his abilities night in and night out for this team to be successful.
AGAIN, BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE HANDS DOWN.
