Why do people believe Carmelo Anthony is as good as Lebron on offense(if not better)?

[Human Error]

I am sick of hearing people say Carmelo is a more complele player than Lebron on offense. Lets discuss!

[LikeABosh]

Have never heard anyone actually ever say this.

[MetsPackers]

You made this exact same thread 2 weeks ago and everyone called you a retard then too. Like literally the exact same thread.

Back for round 2?

Nobody says he's a better offensive player they say he's a better scorer. big difference. If he were even better at finishing at the rim, maybe he would be

he cat bump that high though. Lebron has springs for legs.

because we watch basketball

Give both of them the same teammates; defensive juggernauts with little offensive skills. Which team do you think would have an easier time on the offensive end?

Lebron has the luxury to play on a super stacked team where he's not double teamed or forced to take any bad shots. He squeezes stats out of every play, and people think that he's having a legendary season. Watch the games, it's very seldom he does something amazing.

Yea his team was really stacked in 2010 when he dropped 30 per game on 50% shooting, and 9 assists

Because he is a better scorer period. Why is this even a question anymore?

Talk about it again when LeBron has an actual go to move. (9 years in the league and still not one? Really? REALLY?)

I find him a much more fearsome scorer than Lebron.

I also find him a much less fearsome overall player than Lebron, so who cares?

Last 5 minutes of a tight game, however, I think it's a wash Melo in a high post isolation vs. Lebron. Melo is a great player in his own right, way better shooter.

But aside from Lebron's elite passing and ballhandling, the defensive impact he is is tremendous; Melo's merely average to above average in that respect.

27 per game on 57% shooting. I think he's doing ok

Melo might have been a better "scorer" than Lebron in the past, but definitely not this season.

By "scorer" I mean, you need a bucket and no one else on your team has been hitting shots. Melo would be able to get you a bucket more consistently. That's about the extent of Melo being a better scorer than Lebron.

Lebron is better at scoring throughout the course of a game. His higher ppg averages aren't some fluke. He is a monster of a scorer.

This season especially, Lebron's midrange jumper has really developed and that makes him so much more dangerous. Let's not even talk about his 3 point shooting...

[Mr Exlax]

People say it because Carmelo's offensive repertoire is better than Lebron's. I say that and I actually hate Carmelo.

[madmax]

probably because they hate Lebron and try to prop up any inefficient ballhog citing their array of "moves" as an argument...
