[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

The best thing Harden does, Melo does it better. We can have this conversation in a couple of years.

I would say Melo! For whatever reason SF's like Melo, Nique, King, English, Dantley, and Aguirre get shitted on FOR BEING ALPHA DOGS! No matter what the rest of their game entails you HAVE TO RESPECT THEM FOR THAT if anything. It's the most premium asset in bball. Melo in addition to having one of the premier scoring skillsets of all time is also a great rebounding SF. It also shouldn't be taken for granted that he can move to a stretch PF position while still playing big enough on the glass their too.

But Harden is a beast and still getting better. Of the new era of SG's, he's the most complete on offense. What gets him in trouble is his defense. I think his D will improve over the years, but he will never be a great defender.

He's saying Melo is a very similar type of player to King/Dantley/etc. There aren't too many modern players as similar to Melo as those guys.

One of the easier ones to pick..Melo and it's not even close.

[Graviton]

Harden - 3s, running into the paint flopping for free throws, worst defense in the history of modern NBA, questionable work ethic and lack of focus. Addicted to strippers and instagram hoes, will be a terrible father like his teammate Dwight.

Melo - 3s, post-ups, mid range, average defense, good work ethic and at least some will to win. Dedicated to his wife, will be a good father.

You tell me.

[ABG]

melo.

[Mr Exlax]

Since I already have a low post scorer in D12, I'm gonna say Harden.

[BigMacAttack]

Melo, it really isnt close.

[Sportal]

Melo by quite a distance..

Put a good team around Melo and he'd be competing to make the WCF/ECF every year. If he had Harden's team last year they sure as hell wouldn't have lost to the Blazers. I mean shit, all he needs is 2 players in the top20 at their position to do something.
