Was Melo robbed of 2004 ROTY Award?
I believe he was robbed of rookie of the year award IN 04.
Melo scored more PPG, and he managed to lead nuggets to playoffs while LeBron couldn't for the cavs.
What you think ISH?

I think that ROTY is a meaningless award.

Pretty much, but I do believe Melo should have won it

It's a legit argument. Melo outscored( well 21.0 to 20.9, negligible but still), shot a higher TS, more rebounds, and made the playoffs in a tougher conference. That's pretty much the only time they were ever arguably 'on par' as players though.

That said, Melo wasn't "robbed", but like already mentioned it's a pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

In the 03 offseason the Nuggets signed Andre Miller, Voshon Lenard and Earl Boykins. The Cavs signed Kevin Ollie, Ira Newble and Jelani McCoy.
The Cavs were the exact same team as 02-03 just with LeBron. The Nuggets signed 2 starters and a 6th man, plus Marcus Camby wasn't injured in 03-04.
Attributing the Nuggets improved record to solely Melo is wrong.

The Cavs had some solid blocks in place before Lebron got there with Big Z and Boozer. There isn't a lot of difference at least talent-wise in their 2004 rosters. Melo wasn't solely responsible, but he was obviously the biggest piece. And consider how stacked the west was at that point.

Big bran fan here but Melo was robbed of the award. He simply was the better rookie, period point blank. The NBA had put themselves in a corner by hyping up lebron so much that not giving him the award would have cast the NBA in a negative light.

No, but I do believe if he were on the Knicks from the beginning they would have given it to him.

Robbed? No he wasn't robbed. He had a strong case but Bron was excellent as well.
