People praise Kobe for the same reasons they bash Melo...they are ball stoppers and volume scorers who do not make their teammates better...but the difference with Melo is that he has not played with hall of famers in their primes...like Kobe has. He took the Nuggets to the Western Conference Finals and lost to Phil, Kobe and Gasol...who also had the refs in their back pockets....Melo was surrounded by an older Chuancey Billups, a broke down Allen Iverson...and Jr Smith who was even a bigger knucklehead back then than he is now....
Melo is now surrounded with even lesser talent in New York...what more can he do to make his team better? His efficiency has improved this season..and hes taken less shots....Where is his big three ? Kobe had Dwight and Pau last year and barely snuck into the playoffs...Houston has their big two plus excellent role players..GS State has thier back court, Portland has Lamarcus and Lillard....OKC has their big two...Duncan, Ginobli and Parker are still rolling....Miami has 3 hall of famers on their team...Indy is stacked from the bench to the rafters....what does Melo have? Who does he have?
Melo had no idea how big of an idiot Dolan was when he signed.. This fool allowed Jeremy Lin to walk in favor of an overweight gun toting felon in felton who is the worst point guard the league has seen in over ten years...then he turns around and deals for Andre Bargani...who has no business being in the NBA....take Melo off the Knicks...they loose 60 games...
