I hate all this Melo trashing. It's crazy that he gets so much, just like Eli. Must be a NY thing.
You hate Melo because he is a max player who hasn't won a ring? How many max players and superstars have won rings? Lebron, Wade, Kobe, Duncan, Dirk and now Seth.
Melo is the only Superstar max player who hasn't played with another superstar let alone another all star player (tyson chandler don't count). And you can probably throw Paul George in the same category, he doesn't play with another superstar or even an all-star player.
Chris Paul has Blake and Blake has CP3, and both have never amounted to anything. Two superstars and Max players.
Durant has Westbrook and Westbrook has Durant, both haven't won a ring, I know both have been further than Melo. Two superstars and Max players.
Aldridge had Lillard and Lillard had Aldridge, both haven't done anything. Two superstars and Max Players.
Lebron has Love and Irving, and had Wade and Bosh. All superstars and Max players.
Duncan had Ginobilli, Parker, Kawhi and now Aldridge. All superstars and all star players.
Curry has Klay and Green. All "superstars" and max players.
Harden has dwight and dwight has Harden. Never amounted to anything either.
And all these players at one point or another are considered top 5 and top 10 players playing together. For yrs Melo's 2nd option was JR Smith.
