The better target would've been That melo > wade narrative
Take a look at how Melo gets his shots in the offense breh
He doesn't need to set up and he's not asked to. He's a efficient tough shot maker who creates offense from nothing. He's not selfish with the ball. It doesn't stick with him long.
His moves are done in a few seconds, doesn't waste clock and never over dribbles.
The reason I mentioned westbrook is because in addition to his high usage rate (more than KD ) he actually over dribbles and forces shots and drives. A large amount of his assists are last second shot clock kicks, add in his generous turnover rate and he does look like a ballhog. u feel me?
Melo's career high for assists is 9, and that was 7 years ago he did it one time in his career, once.

A highlight video showing his makes, cool, now where are the misses where he gets the ball with 13 seconds on the clock, jab steps, jab steps, pump fakes, pump fakes and finally decides to go with 4 seconds on the clock and the defense knowing he only has the option to shoot? The Knicks won 17 games and had the 29th ranked offense in 2014-2015, fitting that you'd use that video
I'm @ the fact you said he doesn't waste clock, are you kidding bruh? So many possessions where the ball just stops in his hand in the mid post, as he pump fakes and jab steps burning through clock. The title of this video got me dyin
The nerve to call Westbrook a ball hog and not Melo? How many triple doubles did Russ have this year, he sets his teammates up to score all the time, not because he can't get his own shot off which is Melo's M.O. I don't get the for Melo on here, how many more years of negative results do yall need? He's not the type of player you build around, he's a ball hog that looks to score first, second and third, passing is only an option when he cant get a good look.
He actually had two 9 assist games twice this year.
Still want his ass out of NY though.
Melo is not allowed to miss breh?
He's efficient at what he does. He needs better pieces around him because the New York amare injury thing ruined everything
He needs a change a scenery nobody is gonna carry a team like that far excepts Maybe lebron
I edited it before, your browser got Melo decision making
Better pieces around him that he'll neglect passing to.
He's not the type of player you build around, he's a number 2 being asked to be a franchise player. Efficient is KD, a dude that shoots 50/40/90, that is efficient, 18 shots a game to score 22 points is not efficient, KD takes 1 more shot than him and scores 6 more points
Melo had a extremely rare slump in the beginning of the season so that's influencing that stat. It's a anomaly for him and u know that.
Anyways, u got a good basketball mind but I think your perception and bias is a big factor in your thoughts.
Carmelo Anthony has proven himself to be up there the alltime scoring greats.
He is a superstar. A deserving franchise player on almost any team. Cut it out breh

damn i always thought it was a blessing in the skies
24ppg on 20 shots last year, the last time KD took 20 shots a game he averaged 32ppg and managed to get 5.5apg as well
Joe Johnson had more success as a franchise building block in Atlanta than Melo has had in NY The caping for Melo is hilarious to me, I mean you say I'm biased while also trying to put Melo on the same level as KD which he has never been.

Melo has had a cpl triple doubles in his career actually, had one with the knicks a few years back.
Joe johnson also played with al horford, jeff teague, josh smith when he was good and 6th man of the year jamal crawford.
In all his years on the knicks melo never played with anyone as good as any one of those guys.
