Who was a better player: Brandon Roy or Carmelo?

Melo by a land slide

Roy is the first SG that I've seen Kobe struggle to guard.

dudes love discrediting Carmelo. "Who was better at their peak? Melo or Wally Szcerbiak?" is probably next.

Kobe rapes the spurs

kobe admitted himself that manu was one of the toughest players he had to guard, kobe is also sitting at home with his daughters right now

But he still rapes them tho, like every year in the playoffs

2008 for example

29/6/4 53%

thats not the point of the thread though, i quoted somebody who said b roy was the only 2 that kobe struggled to guard which is false when kobe admitted he had the most trouble guarding manu, what does kobe raping the spurs have to do with this argument?

Roy is this generations penny hardaway. Good player? Yes, but because of injuries overrated to a level he does not belong. Does this thread surprise me? Not really, I have had back and forths with people who actually put Penny on Goat lists "Pre-Injury" its going to be the same thing for Roy.

I watched all their match ups. Kobe had more trouble guarding Roy.

THIS DUDE CONSTANTLY HATES ON ROSE,
BUT IS IN HERE STANNING B-ROY,
BECAUSE HE NEVER TOOK PLAYS OFF, AND SHOWED HEART ON THE COURT.

I take Rose over Melo too. My main problem with Rose is his shot selection. Its terrible for a point guard. Rose plays more like a 2 than a 1 half of the time.

maybe during the years he was healthy and was a factor oppose to guarding ginobili who is a hof contender and is still playing at a high level.


i cant find the youtube clip where he has admitted this.

The one player that Kobe really struggled against was Pierce. I've seen Kobe shut down Wade, T-Mac, Ray Allen, Iverson, Lebron etc. Pierce was the one player Kobe couldn't do anything against. He was too big and strong for him.

 

[the cool]

If both were at their primes injury free, its a no brainer.....brandon roy

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

I bet most GM's would take Roy too
U nikkas are caught up in the name too much

 

[holidayinn21]

neither were franchise-type players.

melo the loser is a better scorer, but plays only one style of basketball.

roy was the better playmaker while being a consistent scorer.

give me roy.
