I am aware of that, but its certainly worth something more than a ZERO wouldnt you say?

All Star MVP is irrelevant. That doesn't put him over Anthony.

I agree, the only reason i put it there is because its an NBA award afterall (same with the ring Mitch has).

In the playoffs, though Anthony's teams haven't advanced 8 of 9 times in the first round, at least taken his teams EVERY year. Richmond on the other hand made the playoffs ONCE in his prime.

Its no achievement really in contrast to Mitch and what he had to work with around him.

I don't mind if you think Richmond > Anthony all-time, but it could literally go either way (if not now, eventually Anthony should easily be over Richmond).

There is a small gap... Richmond is one of the greatest shooters of all time, up there with exactly Reggie & Ray Allen... during the 90s he was much better than Reggie (and Reggie was my favorite player of all time), the 2nd best SG in the league a couple of times and the best SG in the league when Jordan wasnt there.
He had a longer career, a rookie of the year, that accumulated more stat totals at an overall more efficient accuracy than Carmelo during his career. He had more all-star selections and more all-nba team selections...
Mitch Richmond has already earned his place and Carmelo has not done anything significant yet to surpass him..... not in MVPs, FMVPs, Champioships, All-Star selections or All-NBA team selections or stat totals..... hence no, i dont believe Carmelo > Mitch at this moment...
The small amount of awards/achievements Carmelo has right now... Mitch has them... and more of them....
