Not what I was hoping we would do but with the MLE, its hard to expect much. Nope.

He just wore out his welcome because fans were expecting greatness from a flawed core, someone has to be the scapegoat. Hes made mistakes, but all...

Thats the sobering truth isnt it..... whenever old players have a resurgent year, the next year brings the inevitable decline.

I know, the guys nutrisystem regimen has reopened the conversation about his career IMO. I actually think I might have to put him ahead of Shaq after...

Whatever your ultimate criteria for ranking a players achievements. Its so hard to narrowly define.

Kareem and Duncan have played at similar weights throughout their careers. Overall Duncan adapted to his league the same way the Cap did. Dont think...

In what ways? Do you mean defensively? Wouldn't he cause as much problems offensively? And take it more as a comparison between similar careers,...

Interesting that we have it around the same, hard to rate him ahead of this crew when hes not outstanding at any 1 of these aspects but his longevity...

you dont get this thread at all. Im asking for the case against him, not making one. But if you want me to make one, then how about you start by...

Why argue semantics?

Thats a touchy subject, would much rather see examples of players that dont have such dramatically different team wins. Because at that point you...

Bingo

Thats my point. Why ignore everything else? You just said it yourself, the TEAM was better. A minute ago it was "its not Melo's fault his team...

DATS NUFF GUYS Combination of both should go without saying. Give examples of cases where either one closed an argument for you, that provides...

Prolly beneath the place with the hypothetical section of talk, rather focus on what players did than what they could have done. For example, I dont...

Bron got trolled

Thats the greatest point anyone can make here. A center piece player can be someone as good as Chauncey Billups (or as my other thread showed...

"So much"? How can his team rely on him so much yet by your own admission allow him to only play a normal load in terms of MPG? I dont see your point...

Yea thats a tough one. Malone vs D-Rob that is

Scoring depth? Who said anything sharing the ball? Im talking about his supporting cast and his own play. Like the Nuggets have always (save for that...

I like to think Dirk showed us alot more during his defeats, and how he performed over the course of his playoff career was underrated IMO. He...

Yea but couldn't people point to Kareem for high level peak run too? A more apt comparison of continuous All-Star play is a guy like Reggie Miller...

Iverson wasn't even the best player hes ever played with, that you named him above all else tells me all I need to know about the way you value...

Maybe, but our offense wasn't the reason and CP3 most definitely wasn't the reason, it was because our bigs got crushed. Blake+DJ went ghost for...

Lucky? They added alot of talent outside of Melo. The team didn't necessarily rely on him any more than the other players on the squad, in fact he...

That entire team is decrepit, Smith is overwhelmed as a 2nd option, but most importantly, they rely on Chandler too much defensively. Knicks without...

Do you think Chauncey Billups or Richard Hamilton are better offensive players than Melo?

Needs to be reunited with Andre Miller... play on a team with a low post option that can play high low. He and Gasol would have been preferable for...
