Cacs outchea sayin Melo was never a top 5 player at any point in his career...

[seemorecizzy]

This was before the team up shyt and Denver got him AI and Chauncey Billups. Also played with a DPOY.

ai and billups were no longer in their prime
lakers and spurs had hall of fame talent on their teams
the defensive player of the year you are talkin about never made an allstar team in his entire career

Prime Melo ran into two championships Spurs teams in the playoffs, if he was in the least like Lebron he’d be in the finals every year

 

[Flex Grossman]

Washed AI and Billups is the same as prime Bosh and Wade?

Camby, K Mart & Chauncey/AI/Andre Miller was one of the better supporting casts any star had in the mid 2000s. It’s not Melos fault that didn’t win anything tho. George Karl couldn’t coach in the playoffs

The history books will not be favorable for Melo. He underachieved BIG TIME.

All Star
Olympian
Collegiate champion
Future H.O.F.

Explain

 

[Regular_P]

Every season that Melo was in the west, he only lost in the playoffs to the team that either won the NBA title or won the the west (except for once to the clippers). And never lost to a team that he was supposed to beat in the post season.

What does this even mean? He lost in the first round every year except '08-09.

 

[Illuminatos]

He was definitely top 5 in 2013.

Every year before that though? Who on this list was he definitively better than?

Bron
Wade
Kobe
Dirk
CP3
Dwight
Duncan
Durant
Nash
Rose

I'm sure as hell missing some names too.

 

[Regular_P]

2012-13 is the only year you could make a case for Melo being top five.

Exactly. This argument makes no damn sense. The reason they kept facing teams that won the West or won the title was because they were always a low seed. Melo wasn't good enough to get them a top seed in the regular season so they always ended up facing one of the 4 best teams in the standings. Melo stans been using this same retarded ass argument for years.

I think with his bank account he could care less about history...200 years from now maybe Jordan will be remembered....1000 years from now only comic book characters presidents and inventors will be remembered lol

He was in the East and he won 1 playoff series and missed the playoffs 4 out of 7 seasons.

 

[ManBearPig]

Melo was top 5 in 2013.

Other than that, He's right

 

[Da King]

He was in the East and he won 1 playoff series and missed the playoffs 4 out of 7 seasons.

What did his squad look like?

Y’all act like he’s been playing with stacked teams in their primes like Lebron has for the last 8 years

 

[TaxCollector13459]

You ain’t shyt and neither was your mama

You ain’t sold no records
You ain’t been in no movies
Your online Dating business ain’t shyt
And reality tv is not an accomplishment

Also, you are not more successful in your field than melo is in his, so shut the fukk up.

Have a nice day.

Ouch

LeBron was taking his teams to the Finals, this is no comparison. If Carmelo was as good as ya'll are saying he would have been able to at the very least drag those teams to the playoffs. We're not talking make the Finals, we're talking make the playoffs, in the trash East where 38 win teams make the playoffs.

Outside of maybe 2015 and 2016 his rosters were nowhere trash enough to the point that he couldn't take them to the playoffs.
