LoL @ 2007, 2008, and 2009 not being Kobe's prime

If Melo can keep this up, and so do the Knicks then nobody would be shocked to see him win MVP.

He has some things going for him if he keeps this up.

1) He plays in New York.
2) He has always had hype surrounding him.
3) He plays in New York.

Yes I listed he plays in New York twice, but it is that important to his MVP hopes.

27/7/3 with the Knicks as the 2 or 3 seed will get Melo some serious MVP consideration.

Melo is on tear. Outside of maybe Durant, Melo is the best scorer in basketball.

LOL never. LeBron and Kobe are both easily better scorers. A semi-good stretch for Melo doesn't change that.

Don't see it. LeBron maybe but Kobe? nothing against him but he's not a scorer Melo is anymore. What's up with you and hating the Knicks? You mad?

Knicks fans like you are annoyingly cocky after a few good games. There's no "maybe" about LeBron or Kobe being better scorers, it's quite obvious. Melo is very versatile scoring wise and skilled, but his results are often subpar. Kobe is still a great scorer dafuq?

No one said Kobe still wasn't a good scorer it's posters like you that are annoyingly idiotic and don't know the sport of basketball. Just talk to throw your worthless opinion out. Paul Pierce was just quoted and said Melo was the hardest player to guard in the NBA and your going to tell me it's obvious that Kobe right now is a better scorer then Melo? Stop posting.

Paul Pierce is the last word now, eh?

I'd take Paul Pierce's opinion over your's or any other poster on ISH.

The Melo for MVP hype will fade away. The guy isn't a winner.

He won in NCAA as the man.

I'd take Paul Pierce's opinion over your's or any other poster on ISH.

Over mine, sure, but we got some pretty great posters on ISH who might disagree with you.

We sure got nearly every poster on ISH who disagrees with you, log off and get some fresh air.

LOL @ Kobe's prime ending in 06

00-01 46%

01-02 47%

06-07 46%

07-08 46%

08-09 47%

09-10 45%


way to cherry pick and not include his entire prime.

If you read and understood the context of my post, someone was trying to say that .430 shooting years were not part of Kobe's prime. I just showed that they were.

Paul Pierce is the truth. He is right.

Hollinger's calculations are screwed up and have been for years, there's an error in the formula he uses on ESPN (it doesn't calculate pace correctly). How nobody has noticed it after all these years is beyond me, especially since Hollinger himself is the one who came up with the formula.

bball-ref calculates PER accurately.

Thanks for that explanation.
