Melo can score in more ways than Durant, has a better post game and is just flat out more physical.....

:heh: yet durant is more efficient from the post i love when people talk out they ass.



anyways lebron much harder to cover

Durant is still a better and more efficient scorer, better handles, better shooter, runs the floor better, and can finish with the best of them. He's improved his rebounding and now his play making abilities.


:myman: i know you'd trade melo for durant in a sec. melo still good though i wish he would have taken bball more serious in his earlier years kind of slowed his curve hes getting it back though.

KD is the best scorer in the league imo, but if some choose Melo can't really hate on that, that's their choice. :russ:

best pure scorer in the L

I dont know why members of this forum ever tried to debate it as if it were false
I remember Rudy Gay and Lebron both sayin Melo is the hardest guy to guard in the nba

shane battier said it too

Yet Durant still averages more points. Like I said, Melo has the better repertoire, but the numbers aren't lying. Durant scores more because he scores more.

So does LeBron. LeBron is always near the top of the scoring leaders but you NEVER hear his name when it comes to great scorers.

Lebron is the King in Miami. But if I was a defender and had to choose which player I had to guard between Melo and Lebron. I will pick Lebron. Melo is a stroner player in the post and can shoot lights out from anywhere in the perimeter. A defender rather not deal with that kind of headache. Players like Melo such as Dirk and Durant that can score anywhere are difficult to defend.

I'm sure LeBron prefers to be revered for his All-Around game rather than just scoring anyways :yeshrug:

:salute::salute:

handles could be reversed I guess, the rest remains :youngsabo:

when the hell have we judged handle on a height scale? :discount:

I guess Odom has the greatest handles of all time. :owerd:

Who the fukk is talking about greatest handles of all time? And Odom for his size had excellent handles. It's the reason why The Lakers were so successful because they could run the triangle through Odom. And I'm comparing Durant's handles with Melo's.

what exactly are we basing better handles on?

KD gets stripped alot more than Melo ever did, I've seen his cookies get taken from Kevin Love of all people
