Breh, We Gon Act Like Melo Doesnt Some Of His Best Ball Against LeBron? C'Mon

Not consistently when it truly matters in the offs.. I'll give him vs kobe ko on the 09 wcfs but every other year its a 1st round flame out where he shoulda took it next level

Part of niques lore was him by himself shyttin on them bulls and Celtics squads and that's when they both had goats.

Plus melo is supposedly the best scorer in the league but doesn't have a scoring title :troll:

Nique got 1 .. It took Jordan averaging 35 to prevent multiple

Yeah if Melo's knicks team don't start making serious hay in the playoffs these next few years, his legacy is going to be exactly like niques. Great individual talent but teams could never get over the hump and didn't play defense.

brain cramp there in 94.

nique shot 38% against detroit. so the "who was his teammate" argument is irrelevant.

He didn't have his best series but that's why you need another allstar/superstar to take the pressure off of you when you struggle. That's where the teammates come into play

Slander Dominique On Here And Be Prepared To Feel The Wrath Of A Few Hundred Posters As If You Just Insulted Their Religion

But If Dominique Wilkens Played In The SOHH-Coli Era This Is What We Would Think Of Him

A Bum Who Won Some Slam Dunk Championships, Never Won A Ring, Never Won An MVP, Never Even Sniffed The NBA Finals, And Ended Up :flabbynsick:

Now Let It Be Known THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK ON DOMINIQUE WILKENS

This Isnt Even To Say Vince Carter Is An Equal To Or Better Player, I Just Choose Him Cuz Of How Eerily Similar Their Careers Were

This Is More So An Attack On The Mind State We Have Of Players Today

I See People Say Vince Carter Is A Washed Up Bum But Then Act Like T Mac Is Magic fukking Johnson

I Really Dont Get It

Im Seeing The Same Thing Happen With Melo Alot And KD More And More Lately

I Dont Know If This Is Some People Just Being Ignorant Or Being Stans Of Their Own Team/Favorite Player

I Mean We Can Argue, Bullshyt, Compare And Make Fun Of Guys For shyts And Giggles But At The End Of The Day I Feel Like Some People REALLY Feel That Way

I Can Only Imagine This Place In The 90's, People Like Penny Would Be Kevin Duckworth Status


Interesting point. However I must disagree. Mike caught shyt for not winning and gunning 25 years ago all the way up until he won. If there was a coli then he prolly woulda been pre 2012 Bron status. Only difference between now and then is 24/7 media and the internet giving a platform to people who otherwise wouldn't have one.

You're right the Jordan era essentially made it a requirement that you at least come close to a ring to be considered a great player.

I loved Nique. He was my favorite player in the 80's outside of Magic. He fell in line with Big Daddy Kane and all of the other dark skinned niqqas kicking that Al B Sure light skinned niqqas shyt to the curb. :heh:

But I never faulted him for having subpar talent around him outside of Kevin Willis or marginally talented Doc Rivers, so him not going to any finals really wasn't his fault.

With that being said, he was an ATROCIOUS defender. I mean....HORRIBLE. Nothing was worse than seeing the Chinese isolate against him on four straight plays in one of those world games, knowing how suspect he was defensively. Yeah...he was older...but it reflected his game.

If he played now he'd be ripped apart for not taking his teams to the finals and being one dimensional....without question.

This new age scrutiny would have anchored itself to him. Nique, Barkley, Alex English and all of those cats should be happy they don't play today.
