Carmelo Antony, the most OVERRATED "SuperStar" in the last decade

[imnew09]

A.I and Mr.Big Shot Billup took his a$$ to the Western Conference Final, ever since that, he hasn't done sh**

Can't even do sh** in the weak a$$ East since he joined the Knicks.

If not for Kobe going Supanigga in the WCF, Carmelo would have a ring in my opinion. Him leaving Denver was dumb as hell though.

On a separate note, if CP3 finds a way to lose AGAIN this year, he'll be the most unaccomplished superstar in history. Clips are stacked to the fvckin brim.

Lol @ the Allen Iverson part.

[Kawhi]

Iverson wasn't even on that team. :roll:

[alanLA92]

Iverson was too busy screwing up the Pistons at that time. :lol

As for Melo, don't feel for the guy especially when he lets his wife make decisions for him.

[DrakeTheSnake]

Melo was overrated by many until the last couple of years. Not sure what took people so long to see what was so obvious since his rookie season.

[el gringos]

That's always a statement that is a tip off that you don't understand the game. Stooges like you think he's going to end up top 10 in scoring in the history of the NBA accidentally

The only way Melo ends up top 10 in NBA scoring is through an accident. A book-keeping accident where digits get appended to his scoring total.

nba apologized for not calling a foul on rondo in the last play of yesterdays game...

[swagga]

fck cuckmelo, just a beta loser leech fatass widescreen-movie-cuckolded sissy fagggot.

[midatlantic09]

Melo is the type of player that puts up great numbers and looks great in the box score, but when you watch him play, you realize how that's he's just a guy who's out to get his and that he doesn't make his teammates better.

Fools gold.

[Genaro]

Melo played at elite level in 2013 and 2014. Your memory seems to be short.

AI wasn't even on the Nuggets team who made the Conference Finals and Billups while was the leader and a very important piece, wasn't the best player. Melo was.

How is Melo overrated? As of now, I think he's the 4th best SF in the world. Behind Bron, Durant, and George. And for many years, he's been a FIRM LOCK in that same top 4 SF neighborhood. And at times a top 10 player in the world. The difference between Melo and the other 3 SF's I named are the all around aspects. Even Durant over time has developed into a VERY GOOD ALL AROUND PLAYER. Capable of getting 30 pts, 8 boards, and 5 dimes in a season.

And to be frank, I don't think Melo is selfish or a bad teammate. He's just an ALPHA DOG scoring machine who ALSO rebounds his position well. Maybe he's not MEANT to be an elite defender or passer. Coming out of Cuse, the book on Melo was ONE DAY he could have the best scoring skillset among forwards in the NBA. Historically speaking, I think Melo has a top 5 scoring skillset of all time at the SF.

Right there with Bird, Durant, Barry, and Pierce. So how can he be OVERRATED if he lived up to that billing! And has the scoring numbers and accolades to back it up. He was projected to be a Bernard King-Adrian Dantley style SF. He was NEVER projected to be a Bird, Bron, or Pippen style SF.

Leonard is gaining ground on Melo no doubt! If Leonard can become a TRUE ALPHA DOG scorer, then he will pass Melo by no doubt. If he doesn't, it becomes a matter of taste. And as of now, I would still take Melo over Leonard. The only area that Leonard is superior at over Melo is DEFENSE! Melo is the better scorer and passer. Plus Melo is just as good of a rebounder.

Melo has been awful to start the season. He is on the level of Gordon Hayward right now. He's scoring 2 less points on 4 better percentage points.

[Replay32]

When was Carmelo Anthony ever a superstar? :lol

[$LakerGold]

He wasn't?

[bizil]

Melo FOR SURE has superstar numbers and accolades! THAT ALONE needs to be respected. He wouldn't have been making those US Olympic teams if he wasn't. He was always among the top three scorers in the world, so it was about his scoring dominance on that squad. So FOR THOSE who doubt his superstar status, HIS NUMBERS and accoaldes say he's a superstar. The only thing missing is an NBA title.

He also has a NCAA title so if he were to win a ring, it would put him in ELITE company. If u make the HOF, there's a great chance u were a true superstar. Melo is a first ballot lock HOFer! When it comes to the blend of scoring skillset, physicality, and finesse, he's the best scorer of all time at the SF.

Bernard King? Adrian Dantley?

Kawhi Leonard, Gordon Hayward, Jimmy Butler, Andrew Wiggins are all better than Carmelo Anthony and there are others as well.

Leonard is averaging the same amount of points on FAR better percentages, and like you said Leonard is play spectacular defense this year. I'd take current leonard over current Melo without question.

If we're talking primes, then yeah I'll take prime Melo.

We're talking about a guy that's taken his team to 10 straight playoff appearances. That's actually pretty crazy lol, only a handful of players can make that claim.

If anything Melo is underrated as hell. He gets no respect from the refs, and has been playing with a terrible roster these past two years.

[Andrei89]

Not really.

This guy was one of the most complete offensive players ever. Notice I said "was" he sucks now.

This guy had post moves like a pf/c, he had a sweet jumpshot, good three point shooter, was clutch and was elite at driving to the rim and finishing with contact.

Unfortunately he was never good on defense and was also not blessed with a good championship team.

Great points! I do think Melo is ACTUALLY becoming more underrated than overrated. In my earlier post, I mentioned that Leonard is gaining ground on Melo! The season is still young, so I'm still not inclined to take Leonard over Melo yet. But by the end of the year, Leonard could very well pass Melo by in the SF standings. I still think Leonard has to SUSTAIN his improved scoring over the course of the season for that to happen.

[bizil]

People still say this stupid shit with a straight face? :oldlol:

How is it stupid? Leonard HASN'T proved that he's a great scorer YET!! He has improved his scoring this year though. Plus he's still young and could VERY WELL evolve into a great scorer! But right now, HELL NO Leonard isn't a great scorer! He's not ****ing with guys like Bron, Durant, Harden, Curry, Westbrook, P. George, etc. in terms of scoring.

[bizil]

Bernard King? Adrian Dantley?

In many ways, Melo has EVOLVED what those guys did. GOTTA keep in mind that Melo is 6'8 and 240 pounds. He weighs MUCH MORE than AD or BK. And Melo uses that size to play BULLY BALL consistently.

[TripleA]

Everyone calls him fat,lazy,a loser and a bum.
So I would not call him the most overrated superstar of the decade.

[Blue&Orange]

Melo was a beast a few years ago, unfortunately he was playing with Tony Douglas and JAred Jeffried back then. I remember he had a stretch of games points\rebounds last player doing something similar was Shaq on his prime.

Now he is trash.

[TheBigVeto]

Kobe is way more overrated than Melo.

[Real14]

A.I and Mr.Big Shot Billup took his a$$ to the Western Conference Final, ever since that, he hasn't done sh**

Can't even do sh** in the weak a$$ East since he joined the Knicks.

are u serious??:biggums:

[SpecialQue]

On a separate note, if CP3 finds a way to lose AGAIN this year, he'll be the most unaccomplished superstar in history. Clips are stacked to the fvckin brim.

Every time I want to give him props for beating the Spurs last season, I remember the monumental, nay, HISTORICAL choke job against the Rockets, and I can't bring myself to defend the guy.

[alec613]

Kobe is way more overrated than Melo.
nope, not really

[fiddy]

Never considered Melo a supestar
