Why are you lying melo has been criticized . You seem to want melo to get lebron / Kobe criticism yet your the only guy who compares them to melo . They are the best players in the league melo is top 10-15. Good enough to lead a team to the finals but not as good as Jordan as those others have been compared. Dirk is 7 ft of course he should be a better rebounder yet he only averages like 1-2 more :/ melo is a better defender than both of them. Don't minimize dirks ring Lebron didn't Just quit they played a whole bunch of zones to stop him .unless you think lebron Is a quitterWhat are the right players? nikkas like to act like Melo hasnt' played with talent. Denver always had a lot of talent around Melo and they never managed to be more than a low seed. He always had PG (Miller, AI, Chauncey) always had bigs (Kenyon, Nene, Birdman (for a time). Put Bron or Kobe on those squads and they are a top 3 seed. You wanna blame Karl feel free but Karl has his squad doin the same shyt with Melo gone and Melo is in a new spot in a weaker conference with a guy who has recieved more than his share of hype (Amare).
Those people are wrong and who cares what people say?Dirk is a better rebounder and more efficient scorer and Dirk only has a ring becaue Bron went
. Both Dirk and KD play off the ball way more and way better and are more efficient. How exactly is Melo supposed to get these right teams with he and the other "Franchise" guy Amare taking up all the cap room? Like I said above what exactly is the right team? He's had plenty of talent around him during his career.
I mean he had to team with wade bosh to win.Kobe 8-24 in the finals yup great all time performance
you sound like you don't watch basketball . Kobe wasn't putting up prime performances in those finals not to mention he had to get gasol to win unless I didn't realize the prime kobe with Rudy t won a ring .Melo has been to the wcf meaning he can lead a team to the conference finals.

You're right, he may be top 20, but there's 15 I'm taking over him without hesitation
LeBron
Wade
Rose
Westbrook
Kobe
Dwight
Dirk
Kevin Love
CP3
Bosh
Tony Parker
Durant
DWill
Blake Griffin
LeMarcus Aldridge
The bolded are great players but i would take melo over them. Dirk only because he's getting old. the fact that you only have 2 Small forwards on this list when that is arguably the strongest position in the league right now says alot though.
Point is the strongest position IMO. Outside of Durant, Mel & Bron SF is actually pretty weak. Rudy Gay, Josh Smith, Danny Granger are straight, Pierce is getting old, but other than that theres not much to talk about at that position.
To whoever said Melo is a top 5 talent, I would put him top 10 TALENT wise, but talent doesn't = greatness. There are many other players I would rather have

Bron played like a bytch in the finals last yr. Call it what u want it was bytch and thats the only reason dirk got a ring. Not denying the fact that u need talent to win but melo has had more than enough talent to get some higher seeds and make it out of the first rd
more than once.
I'd still take Melo over these 3 though...
Tony Parker is up for grabs but Westbrook can be as much of a liability as Melo sometimes...
