What Makes Carmelo Anthony different from Joe Johnson?

[Imtheman]

Both chuckers
Both have no rings

Melo had a better chance in Denver. Wasting his time and his prime. Smh.

[outbreak]

Melo puts up better stats and has more marketability?

[MEB2kDeez]

Skintone for 500

[Rocketswin2013]

Joe Johnson was actually an all-star last year...Wow. Terrible era for East superstars. Anyway, Joe Johnson missed the playoffs in his peak. Lol, nothing else to really add. Melo is a tier above. And I don't think Melo was ever close to MVP-level.

[Imtheman]

Stats mean nothing. Theyre both losers. 0 rings. 0 Conference final wins.

[dubeta]

Both of them and Kobe are basically the same players.

[NumberSix]

One has a cool sounding name and the other has a super generic name. That's about it.

[avonbarksdale]

melo actually makes a team a playoff team

:biggums:
The level of disrespect Carmelo gets makes me sick, Joe Johnson may be they most overpaid player in the last 10 years while Carmelo made the playoffs ten years in row, took the lakers to game 6 in the conference finals, 3rd in mvp voting, single handily lead his team to a national champion and one best olympic players in the Nba. this garbage threads he gets. Carmelo is a sure fire hall of famer while if Joe Johnson gets in it would be a travesty.

Joe Johnson is actually clutch. That's the difference.

U turd, i meant series wins u turd

[TripleA]

joe johnson is doing crap for 47 min of the game and michael jordan for the last. Carmelo shows up unlike that lazy **** joe johnson.

[GimmeThat]

technically, Joe Johnson's ability to get a 3 point jump shot off and Melo's ability to use his shoulder to get to the rim for a closer attempt is what separates them, as well as makes them equal.

which also means the differences in the usage of shot clock.

in another way, I would also describe it as Johnson being a better player who creates/produce better cross court/weak side passes. While Melo being a player who seeks players' who crashes for second chance opportunities/spot shooters who can/knows how to move in and out between a 2 point shot and a 3 point shot.




side note: I really miss NBA.com's hotzone stats

He was top 3 in MVP voting

[ILLsmak]

stop. JJ can make clutch baskets, which is good, but dude has had way more disappearing 3-12 performances in big games than Melo.

I say Melo is better and he's going to show up more than JJ. JJ is a better passer, tho.

Last shot, gimme JJ if it's a ball in your hands situation, but Melo if you can get him the ball as an iso triple threat.

GOAT ether from the coach to his star player? Dude wrecked Melo's ego.

[navy]

Carmelo is criminally underrated.

What makes this post different than others?

Nothing.

Durant deliberately gave him the points leader for a season. Anthony is a ballhog, nothing more.

Anthony has literally done nothing whatever to get in the Hall.

Nothing. Zip. Zilch. He's a Zero.

Shut up you clown, you don't know anything. Anthony is guaranteed hall of famer really Sarunas Marcionlonis is god damn hall famer for gods sack.

[TheBigVeto]

JJ and Melo are better than Kobe though.

[Draz]

People shitting on Carmelo way more than they shit on Chris Paul. Carmelo is an offensive machine, it's the pieces that make him look so shit. He's not a leader also. But otherwise, he's talented as fck.

[Deuce Bigalow]

Scoring title
Led team to the Conference Finals

:oldlol:

What has he done to guarantee an entrance into the hall?

[lilteapot]

:oldlol:

What has he done to guarantee an entrance into the hall?
He's an 8 time all star, former scoring champion, gold medalist, and if he retired now he'd have averaged 25ppg for his career.

[MMM]

There is actually quite a large difference between these two player and i've never really got a chucker vibe from JJ.

Melo is an immensely talented scorer but is more black holish than JJ

JJ was more of a jack of all trades type player and a better ball handler/distributor than Melo

[Legends66NBA7]

:oldlol:

What has he done to guarantee an entrance into the hall?

More than enough to consider the hall's standards.

His NCAA title and Olympic medals (one of which he holds a team USA record) have probably secured a place already. He adds a NBA title to his resume (where contributes a lot to it) down the road and he would have more than cemented his place.

See above. The hall isn't just NBA resume. It's the basketball hall of fame.

Even his NBA resume would be decent enough to get in and he can still add to it.

[ImKobe]

You have gone too far...

I'm ok with you making troll posts when it comes to Kobe vs Lebron


but THIS right here, YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR

comparing Kobe "Bean" Bryant to Joe fricken Johnson and Carmelo Anthony!!?!?

That's it. I've lost my shit.

[ImKobe]

JJ and Melo are better than Kobe though.

To quote my my friend Stephen A. Smith

"That's blasphemous!!"

"my LORD"

"how DARE you!

"the DISRESPECT"

[Duncan21formvp]

One is a superstar and the other is not.

[smoovegittar]

No show Joe. When was his last "big game" again?

Nets got hosed on that contract.
