LeBron has superior stats to Carmelo all-time, but...

[000]

...said stats were achieved by playing a plodding, ball-dominator style that pads the main star's stats, but doesn't contribute to winning, whereas Carmelo played a superior brand of basketball that wore down the opposing team with quick scoring

This is the reason Carmelo could defeat two 50-win teams in one season (2009 Mavs and Hornets), while Lebron only defeated one (2007 Pistons) in five seasons pre-Decision

The only difference between the two is that Lebron teamed up in a shit conference, whereas Carmelo never teamed up in a shit conference...:confusedshrug:


And the reason Carmelo could play this superior way and Lebron couldn't is SKILL - namely, superior low-post skill and contested shot-making - according to NBA.com, Lebron made 0 contested shots from >10 ft in 2019, 2020 and 2021...

Melo made 0 finals.

LeBron made 10 finals.

What drugs are you on.

Carmelo forced his way to New York.

Who did he team up with there

Carmelo never formed a superteam, while Lebron did - 3 of them, infact - Wade/Bosh/Allen, Kyrie/Love, Davis/Westbrook

This is just a 3ball troll thread.


Good effort though. :lol

Carmelo played on:

Superteam 1: Andre Miller/Marcus Camby
Superteam 2: Iverson/Marcus Camby
Superteam 3: Billups/Amare
Superteam 4: Amare/Tyson Chandler
Superteam 5: Westbrook/George
Superteam 6: Harden/CP3
Superteam 7: Lillard/CJ

Looks like your boy Melo out-superteams LeBron 2 to 1, and then some. And all he has is this to show for it:

LeBron + Dame + CJ would be the a sight to behold.

Damn, that's better than anything Bron ever played with in Cleveland or the Lakers.

Context matters here. Melo's teams were barely Playoff-caliber for most of that Nuggets run (and George Karl was a mediocre coach) so they ran into Spurs & Lakers almost every year and only got swept once in the WC (against MVP Kobe in '08 and Gasol went off in Game 1 of that series too). None of Melo's teams were ever title contenders. '09 was the closest and they almost had a 2 - 1 lead in the series and could have potentially won it in 6 but Kobe destroyed them in crunch time and played one of his greatest series ever.

Lebron's played on 3 superteams.

Why do you expect anyone to take you seriously if you act like LeBron vs. Melo is remotely debatable?

[ImKobe]

It could have been a debate if Melo ended up in the right situation for him. All I know is he didn't play like shit & get swept by the Spurs in '07. He also was a better scorer & led his team to the POs his rookie year but the media stole the ROY award from him.

This is why no one takes you seriously.

And what right situation is that? In their first 7 years in the NBA Carmelo played with guys like Iverson, Billups, DPOY Camby, Kenyon Martin while LeBron played with scrubs, despite this fact LeBron led win team to more wins and won multiple MVPs in the process.

It would have never been a debate. It's like comparing Dominique Wilkins to Larry Bird.

But you see, LeBron is more popular than his hero Kobe so that makes him bad. Grrrrr.

He'll just point out that kong played in the easier conference instead.

Kill yourself troll marcus camby was a pitiful player when iverson and melo played with him. He couldnt guard a stick man to man or off the roll. A truly pathetic player. They didnt get better because billups replaced ai. They got better because nene came back from injury and replaced camby

[Gohan]

Anyone saying camby was even a remotely good player for those nuggets with ai and melo should off themselves for lying

I didn't know you can form superteams with B-listers.

This guy is a "pitiful player":

Yet the Kyrie/Love combo, when the Cavs were 4-23 in the games without LeBron between 2014-218 are a "Super Team". :oldlol:
And I'm being called a troll by someone encouraging others to kill themselves? :facepalm
