Technically he is.........:manny:

Are you retarded?

Pick Melo's best year in the NBA and then realize it isn't as good as Lebron's 2nd year in the league.

Lebron is a more effective and dominant scorer, better slasher, better finisher, and better passer. Lebron creates for his teammates better and is better at putting the ball in the basket than Melo.

Again, compare their best seasons and let's see how it looks

nikkas patterned their style of play and their mentality after Iverson. Culturally Iverson is right there with MJ in terms of impact, I don't give a fukk what nobody say.

And if he wouldn't signed with Nike instead of Reebok nikkas would still rock his sneakers instead of just The Question's.

Even if you try to argue that Melo is more technically skilled at scoring, Bron is more technically skilled at everything else on the offensive end, by a LONG margin.

Technically skilled, my ass. More versatile maybe but just because Brooke Lopez is more versatile than Shaq, it don't make him a better scorer.

Lebron puts up more points on much higher percentages while being unquestionably better in every other aspect of offense

Oh don't get me wrong, I completely agree with you. But I know how dudes spin things, certainly when it comes to Bron's bull-in-a-china-shop scoring game and Melo's graceful flow-like-water scoring game. However, there's NO spinning everything else outside scoring on the offensive end in favor of Melo; ya not going to hear dudes talking about how Melo is fundamentally a better passer than Bron or Melo's technically more skilled at running an offense or how Melo is the Steve Nash of SFs when it comes to putting players in a position to score.

Those the nikkas who'd argue AI is better offensively than Magic because he scored more PPG

And this is A.I. stannery in a nutshell. As soon as they can't back it up with actual impact and production-to-efficiency ON THE COURT, they bring up some meaningless mirage about how dudes patterned their style of play after him and how his cultural impact transcended a generation.

Correct answers are
Better ballhandler
Better outside shot
Quicker
More durable (AI led the league seven times in Min/G)

is better in quite a few other aspects, no question


Fact is: AI did have a big impact on the NBA despite his pedestrian physique

How you not gonna root for the underdog?

What do you mean come on now? Wade is the all-time leader in blocks for players 6ft4 and shorter.

AI is the all-time scoring leader for players 6ft and shorter

AI played the point almost his entire career he should of had a much higher assist average

Ever heard of Eric Snow?

AI is undeniably one of the greatest players to ever play the game but also very overrated. I tend to steer away from AI discussions because he amassed so many STANS you can't really expect to have a decent logical discussion about him on any forum.

I have a lot of respect for the guy and i'll admit that he was way better than he looks on paper sometimes. But still as my man say dude would often score 35 points while taking 40 of his team's 60 shots

Only thing i'll give AI over Wade is durability and maybe 3pt range. Those who say Handles haven't seen D-Wade enough.
