Why Does the "Best Scorer in the NBA" Have Zero Scoring Titles?

[SilkkTheShocker]

Can someone explain to me the argument for Melo being the best scorer? Preferably from someone that isn't a delusional Knicks fan.

[kurple]

because he can score in every way possible. the most versatile scorer in the L

[SilkkTheShocker]

Has never led the NBA in scoring for any season

[Clyde]

Not that I believe he is the best scorer, but you could make the arguement he is.

He has a great size to post up,a mid range game and can shoot the 3.

Personally I think Durrant is the best scorer.

[PJR]

Also, why does he have the worst playoff winning % in NBA history to date?

[DCL]

because sometimes they don't get enough FGAs

Durant >> Melo. pretty obvious.

[jimmy77x]

Oh look another Melo hate thread from Ish's number 1 f@ggot what a surprise. This has to be the 10th time he's posted this same thread.

[Jolokia]

Carmelo = Most versatile scorer
Best scorer = Durant

[cotdt]

It should be "Who's the best scorer against the best defenses?"

not a knicks fan, I will say it's quality over quantity that makes him who he is why his rep is what it is.

You sounds noticeably upset over a message board thread. I hope you get the help you need to overcome being such a pathetic little man

So because he looks better scoring the ball than others, that makes him the best scorer in the league?

[SilkkTheShocker]

Also, why does he have the worst playoff record in NBA history to date?


This is also a great point. Worst playoff winning pct. in NBA history :applause:

Carmelo Anthony has the worst winning percentage for any player in NBA history with at least 50 playoff games, according to ESPN.

Anthony's teams have a 16-36 (.308) record during his playoff career with the Nuggets and Knicks.

Denver reached the playoffs in all seven of Anthony's full seasons with the franchise, but were eliminated in the first round each year except for 2009 when they reached the Western Conference Finals.

Because he played for the Denver Nuggets.

[scm5]

Durant is the best scorer in the NBA, Melo isn't.

People like to say Melo is the best scorer because he has a ton of moves and is really fun to watch. His shot is also really pretty.

However, he's not as consistent as Durant and doesn't score as easily.

If he got bailed out by the refs the way Durant does, he'd easily shoot over 50% and score 30+.

Ping me when Durant scores 40 with only 3 free throws.

Thanks for dedicating your precious time to making that for me :oldlol:

Now go back to sucking Kobe's d.ick

[cavsfanatic]

Melo can do everything on offense is why they say it. Solid footwork and he can post up, as well as drive with a solid mid range jumper. Durant is the best scorer I've ever seen though. Melo top 3 for sure

[Blue&Orange]

I understand why people say that, Melo on a good day is a frigging beast, if he was more consistent and had better shot selection it would be a non discussion.

I'm still in doubt if the Knicks now being healthy will help him or not in trying to get that scoring title. There is no way he is going to shoot so much now, but having Amare shooting 10\10 on the post, felton and Chandler with the pikc&roll, having someone else (shumpert) being able to break defenses, gives Melo a lot more space to get easier shots and be more efficient.

[STATUTORY]

Melo's not the only player that fits that description and he's not the best at all aspect of scoring. People like Melo cause his game looks fluid and smooth.

:lol everyone calling you out and all you can say is how mad are you? All you do is think about the knicks :roll: :roll: 95% of your threads have a melo/ knicks hate agenda. Most pathetic troll on ish.

[TheCorporation]

That is a good question, sir.

[teddytwelvetoes]

Has never led the NBA in scoring for any seasonlol the post you quoted was a rebuttal to the thread title...and you respond by repeating the thread title :roll:

Unless you don't know what "versatile" means - hint: it doesn't mean he averages the most points


I know we got a lot of hoodlums and foreigners on ISH but good lord :biggums:

[dunksby]

Melo is the most versatile scorer is just a title people want to give him cause he is as average a superstar(he is just a star imo) can get, what other superlative can you give him?. Melo has never led the league in anything, never been much of a contender so far and has lost to other superstar led teams in postseason forever.

[swag2011]

so true. never understood why Melo got this "best scorer in the NBA" title...

Post game? kobe got that
3 point shot? KD all day
footwork? kobe
mid range- could probably go to any of the 3
shooting in general- KD easily

i don't see how melo's can score in more ways than kobe, besides posting up bigger players i guess, and KD is more efficient than both kobe and melo

[kshutts1]

Can someone explain to me the argument for Melo being the best scorer? Preferably from someone that isn't a delusional Knicks fan.

Some people confuse "best" and "possibly the most versatile". That's all. And when one is a fan of a certain team/player, they latch on to whatever possible leverage they may be able to grasp.

[AussieG]

Durant is the best scorer but Melo is very good too.

[Fudge]

Why does every Heat fan/LeBron stan degrade Melo so much? :confusedshrug:

[EnoughSaid]

Durant is easily the best scorer. So no argument there.

[Legends66NBA7]

He isn't the best scorer in the game. But I can see why people think he's the most versatile, though I think that's still Bryant.


Also, why does he have the worst playoff winning % in NBA history to date?


Anthony's teams have a 16-36 (.308) record during his playoff career with the Nuggets and Knicks.

That's your answer.

[ShaqAttack3234]

I believe Durant is the best scorer in the league right now and has been for at least the last 2 seasons, if not 3. He looks to be the most unstoppable when I watch them play, but I don't think it's a huge difference. Melo is the second best and is a really talented scorer himself. His post game is the best at his position, he's a very good ball-handler for his size, his footwork is excellent, has a very good second jump to get his own misses, he's very strong and he's now an excellent shooter from anywhere, either when he catches and shoots or shoots off the dribble. His one problem is that he doesn't finish well. He gets a lot of shots blocked and in general, has been really poor around the rim this year. But that would be less of an issue if he got the respect from refs that other superstars get. His numbers are still outstanding, and that's with his team relying on him so heavily. Teams are constantly either doubling Melo, or shading towards him. With the team getting healthy, he should have more help in the second half of the season, especially with Amare looking great and Felton back, but people forget that Amare missed the first 2 months, Felton missed a month, and Jr reverted back to his bad habits after a hot start.

[jimmy77x]

Why does every Heat fan/LeBron stan degrade Melo so much? :confusedshrug:

This, they will go to tremendous lengths to degrade melo or anything to do with the knicks its just in their bandwagoning blood.

[Bigsmoke]

the best scorer in 2005 was Allen Iverson

where his titles at? :confusedshrug:

[ZaaaaaH]

Melo was NEVER the Best Scorer in the NBA he just hangs around the TOP 5 every year due to his Size and Talent.

One skill he lacks is Handles. He has 2 crossover moves that only works on ISO. Also shows great weakness of handles when double Team comes.

It has always been Kobe and then Durant once Kobe took a step back due to Father Time and Durant took 15 steps Forward due to his talent and Love of the game.

One of the year when LeBron was in Cavs I felt like he was the best Scorer at one point when he was Slimmer with quicker crossover and when he was not
psychologically scared of FG% and let the game come to him.

[Chrono90]

Not the best scorer in the NBA. :no:

He's playing better this season but was not consistent throughout the years.

[ShaqAttack3234]

When Lebron was slimmer, his shooting wasn't nearly as good, and he was clearly less skilled overall so there really wasn't an argument for him being the best scorer overall back then.

Though, you could argue that Lebron was the best scorer in 2010 with Kobe's injuries, though I'd take the healthy Kobe of the first 2 months, or the playoffs after he got his knee drained purely as a scorer.

No doubt LeBron has gotten better as a player since Cavs days but IMO LeBron always had a good jumpshot long as he shoots a decent amount of shots to get him going during the game since he is more of a feel/streaky player when it comes to shooting.

When LeBron was slimmer he had a quicker step with smoother crossover then now which was more effective to be a scorer which he was for the Cavs. For the Heat he gained weight for Power which has made him a better post player and defender but not as effective when it comes to scoring since he has gotten slightly slower.

[knicksman]

saying lebron is better than durant is like saying oscar is better than jordan..

Lebron fans really have the lowest IQ in this board

[bizil]

because he can score in every way possible. the most versatile scorer in the L

That's exactly right! In terms of scoring skillset, u could make a case that Melo has the greatest scoring skillset of ALL TIME! U got MJ, Kobe, Bird, Pierce, Gervin, Durant, Barry, etc., but Melo is literally very good to great at all facets of scoring in a 6'8 240-250 very physical package. If anything those 15 or more pounds he has on those guys makes the difference. Melo could bully many PF's scoring the rock if needed while ALSO being able to kill them with slashing, midrange, three ball, etc.

Scoring titles can be tricky. I think the key is being regarded as a true alpha dog level scorer who can put the foot on the gas and rack up the high scoring numbers. Once u are part of that fraternity, then it can be like picking straws on whose the best. U can actually make a case for Durant, Melo, and Kobe as the best scorers in the world. I think Melo's is the most unique due to his physicality along with the actual skillset as a combo.

Lebron had the quickness, the weight and an improved jumper in '09 and '10 with the Cavs, no way he was a better scorer before '09 and '10 than he was during those 2 years, or now for that matter.

He was streakier then, and exposed vs good defenses who made him a jump shooter, see the '07 Spurs and '08 Celtics series when he was shooting 35-36%.

[longtime lurker]

Because OP touches himself at night.....

Sorry I've always wanted to say that....seriously though OP's a *******

[MetsPackers]

Lmao you retard, you don't even realize that if the 2010 free agency wasn't scripted from the start, you'd BE a Knicks fan you loser :roll:

You'd just be riding Lebron's nuts via a different city. Sad thing when your loyalty is decided by someone elses decision; most notably "The Decision"

Kid is a born follower :roll:

I'd rather go down with the Knicks ship every year than be a follower trolling the team I could've been a fan of

In the words of nas: "You a dick riding ******, you love the attention"

Edit: Just checked too, last scoring title winner to win the title that year was Jordan. Only scoring title title winners since are Shaq, Kobe, Bron, and Wade. Hmmm, seems like your team might have something to do with winning

[Derka]

Has never led the NBA in scoring for any season
Completely misses the point, as usual.

[ThaKid]

i would say that overall in the past 5 years melo only sits behind lebron, durant and kobe as the best scorers in the league

[ihoopallday]

saying lebron is better than durant is like saying oscar is better than jordan..

Lebron fans really have the lowest IQ in this board

:biggums: I hope you meant scorer cause that's the only thing Durant is better at than LeBron

[talkingconch]

same reason why kobe only has 1 mvp, just for some reason couldnt get it.

[KOBE143]

Carmelo = Most versatile scorer
Best scorer = Durant

this

but most versatile and best scorer combined = Kobe

[dannywpt]

but most versatile and best scorer combined = Kobe

Still Durant :lol

[SilkkTheShocker]

same reason why kobe only has 1 mvp, just for some reason couldnt get it.


Lol

Kobe didn't even deserve the MVP he got in 08.

[B-Easy8]

Melo gets such little respect from the refs.

Dude gets hacked all the time and gets nothing. If he was shooting 10 ft's a game he would be number 1. I think him and Durant are pretty equal though.

Melo, Howard and Pekovic get nothing from the refs. I guess because they are so strong.

[Michael_Wilbon]

Lol

Kobe didn't even deserve the MVP he got in 08.

You better be careful. LeBron and Melo happen to be good friends. If he knew how much you were hating on his boy then your opportunity to give LBJ a rim job would go out the window. He'd be quite upset with you. You know you want the butthole.
