Don't be sensitive.

Who is judging him in a negative light?

The writer is by painting melo as Danny granger type player . The stats and his effect on the game say otherwise .look at the hof with comparable stats . :troll:Ass article melo Is a number 2 option at best ? He's def a better defender than Durant the man was guarding chalmers .
Also melo is elite at scoring and has as many clutch shots as Kobe yet he's not elite ?

only been out of the 1st round once

I'm confused is it his fault or the team or coaching ??why does melo get all the blame ? Melo has always been in the playoffs what other star can say that not to mention look at kg why couldnt he get ot the first round the west was stacked look at them teams melo lost too the prime spurs , lakers etc melo gets no credit for succeeding in the west.

Yea he will get into the HOF if he continues down this path. I said he was an all star.

I don't see why you take such offense. I said he's good, but he's NOT Durant, Dwight, CP3, good.

As a No.1 option, his teams have been out of the first round once in his career. You're overlooking the facts in the matter. What effect on the game?

Wrong again. Melo is supposed to be a franchise player so the criticism he gets is valid. Melo being considered one of the top players in the league was a gross overexaggeration by nikkas who value scoring ONLY.

You Fat Melo lovers are always looking for ways to make fat boy look like something more than he is. Been outta the first round ONCE in 8 yrs. Doesn't make his teammates better. He's a second tier star. If you a star in this league you getting criticized when you fail to produce results. Deal with it

He was put on that pedestal first and he still has yet to experience the type of criticism that other players on that pedestal have experienced. The fact is he is just starting to catch heat and he's going into year 10 with only one trip beyond the first round. Can you imagine if Bron had only been out of the first round once at this point in his career? If Kobe had only done it once since 04? It's all you would ever hear about. Melo got a complete pass in Denver and now that he's in NY more people are talking about but it's still not to the level of what top players have gotten over the years.
