if Melo retired today, what is his greatest accomplishment?

[jzek]

The scoring title?

I'll give some examples using other top tier players (because Melo is top-tier, right?):

Kobe: "I'm a 5-time NBA champion."
LBJ: "I'm a 4-time league MVP and NBA champion."
Duncan: "I'm a 4-time NBA champion."
Nowitzki: "I'm an NBA champion."

Hell, we can even use Durant as an example:

Durant: "I led my team to the Finals."

What about Melo?

Melo: "I led the league in scoring... once." :oldlol:

[dbk123]

well being in the nba is a pretty good accomplishment for a normal person. but yea i guess if ur talking about his career id say the scoring title

[IncarceratedBob]

Single handedly leading his college to a national title.

Something no other top 10 player in the NBA can say

[Bandito]

The scoring title?

It can't be the Olympic golds because he was one of the many many many stars as opposed to *THE* star. If not the scoring title then what is it then?Being OP's daddy!

[Fudge]

NCAA title probably?

[outbreak]

His wife

[JellyBean]

1. All-Rookie First Team
2. Became first NBA rookie to lead a playoff team in scoring, since David Robinson.
3. MVP of Rookie Challenge (2005) (This was that Rookie vs. Sophomore squad).
4. Turned the Denver Nuggets from a laughing stock into a playoff contending team.
5. Leading Syracuse to a NCAA title.

Just to name a few.

[jzek]

Just to name a few.

Which one is his greatest career accomplishment though? If Kobe retired today, he could say 5x NBA champion. If LBJ retired today, he could say 4x MVP. Melo?

[NumberSix]

[Shepseskaf]

6x All-Star?
5x All-NBA?

To say he sucks because he's not Lebron. ESPN does it every day.

[NumberSix]

Carmelo is a good player, but he's just under that A tier.

[niko]

Carmelo is a good player, but he's just under that A tier.
He's not Lebron or Durant. he's with current Wade (because Wade is always hurting, not if Wade was 100% and most of the others). But no way is he Lebron. We all know that. YET 100 times a day we get LEBRON WON A TITLE...MELO DIDN'T. No shit.

But for people who want to use that to paint Melo sucks i don't get at all.

Well, to be fair, Knicks fans were trolling the shit out of lebron/heat fans before he won a ring.

[Nuff Said]

He did set a record during the Olympics for most threes in a game or something. I thought that was very impressive.

LMFAO @ Scoring Title.

If not the scoring title then what is his SINGLE greatest career accomplishment? Simple question that no one can seem to answer! :oldlol:

1x NBA CHAMPION & FMVP

[Xiao Yao You]

Greatest accomplishment is getting the Knicks to give up most of their team for him and pay him a max contract. :facepalm

[SamuraiSWISH]

NCAA Championship in 2003, is the only honest REAL answer.

[Clutch]

1 first place MVP vote.

[SamuraiSWISH]

1 first place MVP vote.
Nah, that was someone being contrarian for the sake of it. Same with Iverson's vote in the '99 - 2000 season. Idiots.

[TheBigVeto]

Olympic gold medalist.

[Kiddlovesnets]

Leading the Knicks to a 2nd round playoffs appearance?
:rolleyes:

[Wally450]

Had all those points in that one quarter a couple years ago.

Going number 3 in the draft, behind the King, and ahead of Wade.


Oops, forgot about Darko Milibitch.

[Dagouch]

Basically a more accomplished Bernard King.

NCAA Champion, Gold Medalist, Multiple All Star Appearance.

Some of you guys are really blinded. Barkley, Ewing, Malone, Stockton, and so many more didn't win the big one.

Melo could do so more but time will tell. Wasn't it also a few years ago people were doing the same thing to Dirk?

[LBJMVP]

I only read the first page, but my answet would be... More than you will ever accomplish in your life. And why the **** are you comparing him to kobe and lebron? Obvious agenda. You should feel like an awfull person for creating such a sad and agenda filled thread. /thread

[jzek]

Some of you guys are really blinded. Barkley, Ewing, Malone, Stockton, and so many more didn't win the big one.

Barkley = MVP + went to the Finals
Malone = 2-time MVP? + went to the Finals 2x
Stockton, Ewing = went to the Finals

Melo = ???

[Dagouch]

Barkley = MVP + went to the Finals
Malone = 2-time MVP? + went to the Finals 2x
Stockton, Ewing = went to the Finals

Melo = ???

And they all lost.

In the west how many times did Melo lose the Eventual NBA champion?

That's my point exactly. Their story and time are over. Melo's not. People were saying similar things about Lebron not winning the big one and being a choke artist. When he formed the new superfriends he was finally get over that hump. Some might say that it's tarnished on how he got it. Others won't

[tmacattack33]

Yeah, but probably less than the OP (or any average person) would have done if they had Melo's talent.

He was talented and didn't work too hard (we can see this by looking at his body, no homo...he looks like an average guy off the streets not a professional basketball player).

He also acted like an idiot (stop snitchin' video, sucker punch on that knicks player, crying and whining all the time, dui i believe, marijuana charges i believe, etc).



Therefore, the OP can talk smack about him all he wants.

Melo should have won the rookie of the year but nba wanted to hand it to lebron.

[ClutchOver9000]

He was talented and didn't work too hard (we can see this by looking at his body, no homo...he looks like an average guy off the streets not a professional basketball player).

Can you tell Durant doesnt work hard by looking at his body too? Melo's physique has nothing to do w/ his work ethic, its just his physique.

BTW "lol at he looks like an average guy off the streets". Yea, plenty of 6'8 230 lb guys walking around the streets :rolleyes:

Even before he won his FMVP and championship, Dirk had had accomplished far more than Melo.

[willds09]

Barkley = MVP + went to the Finals
Malone = 2-time MVP? + went to the Finals 2x
Stockton, Ewing = went to the Finals

Melo = 2013 champ, 1-time finals MVP
fixed.

[jzek]

And they all lost.


I don't know about you but it's better to have lost in the Finals than never make it at all.

[Shep]

his 2009 season:

- top 2 small forward
- top 9 overall
- his teams best player in the regular season
- his teams best player in the playoffs
- leading his team to the western conference finals
- playoff averages of 27.2ppg, 5.8rpg, 4.1apg, 1.8spg, 0.6bpg, with only 2.3to pg

U just might be the dumbest poster on ish. Everybody isnt built to have a body like lebron and dwade. He isnt as built as them yet he is just as strong if not stronger. Kevin durant looks like a african in those feed the children infomercials yet the dude is cat quick and i bet he is stronger that how he looks. Your logic is flawed. Everybody cant be 5% body fat with muscles in their ears.

:applause:

read the entire post with an agreeing head nod, read that last sentence and laughed at the screen loudly ... :lol

EDIT: to say that paul pierce is another player who re-enforces your original point about body types ... PP34 is one of the stronger palyers inth e league, his body shape/type give him much more core strength than you'd think
