[QUOTE=Jasi]I don't care about stats.
But I think that Durant will be way more dominant than Melo throughout his career.
And I like Melo a lot (especially as a Knicks fan :D)... It's just two different leagues.[/QUOTE]

-It gets messy after #7 for me.
-I don't blame people for having Rudy Gay so low on their lists. After all the Grizzlies did almost made it to the WCF without him.
-I would have no problem of one thinks either Durant or Melo are better than the other. Melo is the more talented one, but Durant is the much harder working one. If Durant isn't better than Melo now, then there is no question in my mind that Durant will be the better player next year or in the next couple.
I certainly prefer Melo's scoring over Durant's due to his post-up ability and his variety of moves. Durant is limited with his scoring moves. There really is no question in my mind that Durant will add moves in the upcoming future. I have confidence in him because he is one of the hardest workers I have ever heard and seen in the NBA. One of the few stars that does NOT take advantage of his stardom.
They are pretty much even in every other department except defense. I think Durant has the edge there.
Simply put, I prefer Melo's game, but I prefer Durant's personality and I would have no issue if one puts Melo above Durant or vice versa.

Despite all the hate LeBron's getting, you can't deny that he's the best all around guy on this list.
[QUOTE=Da Heroic One]Deng is better than Crash, maybe not Granger.[/QUOTE]
Wallace has a better overall game.
better defender, rebounder, finisher, ect.
hell.. what makes Deng better anyway? :confusedshrug: Deng is only better @ shooting the three ball.

Perfect list.

Deng is a better on-ball defender, scorer, and finisher. Wallace wasn't able to be that 2nd option for the Blazers to overcome the Mavericks. Using your logic though, shouldn't Wallace be ranked higher than Pierce?

[QUOTE=dunksby]Without reading the replies I can guess that probably the thread has turned into a Durant Vs Melo argument with Joyner in the center.[/QUOTE]
Not really. It was basically 5 or 6 Knicks fans putting Melo ahead of Durant while everyone else on the forum lol'd

[QUOTE=28renyoy]The Knick/Melo homers are out of control
Durant has more accolades, better career stats, better single season stats, better playoff stats, better career playoff stats, better playoff record, yet they still rank Melo ahead. What a joke.[/QUOTE]
