ESPN ranks Carmelo Anthony as the 64th best player in the NBA

[Flight]

I agree with points made against him,but hes still a 4 time all star,3rd team all NBA and was a top 5 scorer last year....Which of those have Jae Crowder or Porzingis accomplished ?

The SI list was even more egregious.

I'm tired of the Demar disrespect. He has obvious flaws as a player but Jae Crowder isn't in the same universe as him.

Its funny but the flaws ESPN uses to discredit DeMar they do not use against Kyrie or James Harden.Hes not a great defender,that wont stop them from having Harden in there top 5 tho....They mention how the team offense takes a hit when hes on the floor as opposed to when he sits but really dont account for the small samples and dont mention at all the team went 15-6 when Lowry was injured and he was THEE offense.

Writers and analytics folk just dont like the fact he doesnt shoot 3s...

Too high.

No seriously, dude is washed but he's definitely still top 50. Lonzo Ball being higher than him is a damn joke.

Melo is barely top 40 tbh and Wade probably isn't a top 100 player tbh

I figured it out. ESPN is trying to destroy analytics. That's the only way i see a world where Jae fukkin Crowder is better than Demar Derozen

If they were trying to destroy analytics you would think theyd have DeRozan higher on the list since hes the CON to any analytics argument.

Personally, I think dude is in the top 20. He can still do damage. He is still a scorer killa.

You twweaking now

They got Dennis Schroder at 93 wtf

I want you to name 100 players better than Dwyane Wade. I don't care how long it takes. I'll wait.

[BigMoneyGrip]

Smh... Hope he somehow gets moved to Houston and shows out... Don't think I've ever saw a player diminished like this in the media... They didn't even go this far to bosh and love

Pill Jackson gave them the nod to disrespect him

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

draymond not better than melo
put draymond on any other team he aint a allstar

Dray a better defender and playmaker than Melo

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Top 5

Y'all really taking the opinion of the TMZ of sports journalism seriously anymore?

Exactly. That article did exactly what they intended. To get goofy ass folks to click on it. They ain't in the business of being right. They're in the business of getting clicks for ad revenue. If you use ESPN as an argument for anything sports related you're basically admitting you don't know shyt.

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Nah Gasol is better. Truth be told how is porzingis better than Melo. His defense aint that good fr fr he aint scoring crazy he aint rebounding crazy so how is he even better than melo

Porzingis a pretty good defender breh
