So now Carmelo Anthony isn't top 5 in the league?

I'd love to see the Knicks win with Melo right now, but I am very skeptical.
Look at the chemistry and attitude of that Thunder team.  Look at what Durant said about Westbrook when the media was getting on him for taking too many shots and supposedly saying he was "better than Durant" (said Westbrook was his man and he was tired of people trying to break up their team).  

Now look at how the Nuggets reacted when Melo got traded.  Silence, not a tear shed (Karl could hardly contain himself, and the team had one of the best runs it's had in years).  Look at what Melo tweeted when the Knicks drafted Shumpert...  The guy is an anti-leader.  It's a good thing we have Amare.

Russel Westbrook has Kevin Durant by the balls he does what ever he wants to and the "leader" of the team can't stop it. Last postseason when Russel was getting scrutinized for "shooting too much" Durant as a leader and the #1 guy on the team should have took over put his foot down instead of that in crucial playoff games he told Russel numerous times to "keep on shooting" and "take over". Even though he was taking bad shots while Durant just camped at the 3 point line because his jumper wasn't falling. That in my opinion is throwing him under the bus knowing he's getting heavily scrutinized you tell him to keep chucking so you can protect your image and project the blame on him ? That $#@! is corny b

You're talking about one game, man.  The biggest stage this young guy's ever been on and he was given a chance to throw his teammate under the bus and he didn't...  When your teammate who's a big scorer is shooting bad, you tell him to keep going, that's just how it is and I think it was the right thing to do (and yeah, I think Westbrook lost them that series).  Maybe Durant should have gotten on him but he's a young guy and he's still learning.  That's the first time his leadership has been anything short of unimpeachable.
He also led his team to the WC Finals in their second year in the playoffs and they're now a favorite to win the West next year.  I don't know if you watched those Melo Iverson teams, but when Melo thought he was losing he straight up gave up, every time.  They never grew or built any continuity.  The guys around him never got better or smarter...  He certainly never taught J.R. Smith how to play basketball.
I know Melo has some kind of appeal for some people because he seems "tough", (like, he's not tough on the court or anything but basically he's a **** to people).  But you know what, Melo can change and my opinion of him could change.  Amare was never known as a leader in Phoenix and I don't think I've ever seen someone change so fast and put a young team on his back like he did last year.

Maybe I'm just a hater.  But I think Melo is a loser.

Dude is talented is hell but HE IS A BALL STOP. He ruins any flow of offense. Doesn't play D. Top 5? Son he isn't even Top 10-15.

And why are Knicks fans always high on their own supply. This isn't directed towards OP but SOME of the knicks fans on this board. THEY GOT SWEPT by an aging Boston Celtics team last year. And you think the addition of Tyson Chandler will have a big impact? The last time I laughed so hard was when people thought Kendrick Perkins was going to be the missing link for the Thunder.

what about the 3 of 14 (21%) that Durant shot in a possible close out game?
what about Durant shooting a combined 0-13 from downtown in Games 2 and 3 in the WCF?

He's a nice guy .

I don't remember - was this before or after he @@%* all over the Memphis Grizzlies? I can't seem to recall.

Melo, AI, T-Mac... Consistently among the most disrespected players on NT every single year.

You do know Amar'e and Chauncey were both injured or out most of that series, right? We don't think Tyson alone is going to make that much of a difference, we think Tyson along with a 'full' season together and health (knock on wood) will.

He's a nice guy .

Attitude matters.  It's not about being nice, it's about being a smart teammate.
I can't shake the feeling that 8 years ago you wouldve been going just as hard defending Marbury.

I see where you're coming from and I didn't mean to come off as harsh but yeah I do see where you're coming from fam. As stated the post was directed more towards the dudes on here who just slurp the Knicks so much and never keep it real

That actually has a lot to do with it.  And this has even more to do with it. 

In todays league either your a high flyer dunking all over the place, shooting 3's or getting off with the ball handling for them to adore you.

Roster Player #7 doesn't fit any of these categories therefore his game isn't appreciated as much as it should be.  When you add that to the fact that he's a ball stopper, the perceived bad attitude, the off the court issues, and coach publicly $+**%$#% on him people tend to underrate him.  He's not bad defensively just lazy and offensively he has as many weapons in his arsenal as anyone you can name.  His ability should really only be compared to Dirk or Kobe with respects to the various amount of ways he can destroy you.

It sickens my daily when i think about him as a fassi.

I'm done defending him.  Quota filled for the years and years on end.

All I can do is

. Did you think I made that post over this thread? I've been seeing this slurpage since Melo and Amare came to NY. And didn't I say that it was directed towards the Knicks fans who are so hype? Obviously you're one of them if you got butthurt over it.

nice try fam

What has he said that's so outrageously impossible? Or do you just disagree with his opinion? There's a difference.

They are identical type of scorers. But KD just has a bigger impact on the game than Melo does. That's why he considered top 5 and Melo isn't. And this is coming from a dude who thinks Melo is the deadliest scorer in the league with the combination of his first step, his size, and pullup
