But Mr Fields the international game is far superior now compared to 92...Back then Starmelo woulda averaged 50 a game at least. Thats when Eurotrash was really Eurotrash


You said he would lead this team over the.92 team and he was a superior player to mj..nba cba aba NCAA international whatever..there's no way melo is superior on defense that's insane..which is Pretty big part of being a player..

I somewhat agree :manny: He was made to play the international game...its unfair. I still blame Larry Brown for not giving him enough minutes in 2004.

Carmelos offensive superiority > MJ's defensive superiority :manny:

So Melo going 10 for 12 from 3 against Nigeria makes him superior to mj offensively?

Melo should be thankful they got rid of the hands check when mj retired..they saw pretty quick no would be equal to mj offensively let alone superior
