    Is Carmelo Anthony a Hall of Famer?

    in your book?

    not in my book...

    I'm sure he gets in, because these honors have gotten too soft. And he has big name notoriety.

    The guy is super one dimensional, I don't think you can find a good comp for a no rebounding, no passing, shitty defensive player that is already in the HOF.

    the guy has not been a winner in the NBA.

    only one top 5 MVP finisher in his entire career (3rd in 2012) and only twice was he even voted as a top 10 player in his entire career. He is just HUGE ball hog with decent longevity.

    IMO his best resume bullet point for getting into the HOF, since it is the basketball HOF and not NBA HOF


    2002-2003 NCAA basketball championship with the orange as a true freshmen

    he will get in on the first ballot.
    do i think he deserves it? Nope. Never felt like he was a difference maker when out there. Certain guys have "It". Not him.

    7 seasons over 25 ppg
    4 seasons of over 7 rpg
    has 2.9 apg average

    where is his HOF value? chucking and wearing that headband?

    No but we know how it goes

    There's probably less than 25 athletes in each sport who should be in.

    Should be reserved for only the elite

    Yeah so rebounds, assists, defense stats and metrics?

    What do they tell us about Melo?

    He's definitely in. Maybe not first ballot because of peoples personal opinions on him.

    Don't forget his Olympic gold medals and making NY relevant for a few seasons.

    I would take Stockton out of the argument as he owns the most impressive feat in all of sports.

    All-time Assists leader (offensive record)
    All-time steals leader (defensive record)

    Both sides of the ball

    Right. And it isn't diminished by the fact that he never won a ring.

    Plenty of losers have rings and plenty of winners don't.

    Ball hog for most of his career never learned how to pass. NO not worthy of the Hall of Fame IMO..

    He made a decent career in the NBA for himself though and won gold medals in the Olympics.

    also those guys played to win. Played team ball. Melo has always been a selfish player

    I say no because it should be not just about stats but winning and he doesn't win enough in the post season.


    https://medium.com/@rpsalao/player-spotlight-the-disappointing-career-of-carmelo-anthony-9fa6db692f8a

    To see just how poorly Carmelo Anthony has performed in the playoffs, I did a deep-dive* to see how all the other dominant scorers throughout NBA history have done during the postseason. Melo’s best skill has always been his ability to put points on the board as he ranks an impressive 20th on the all-time scoring list.

    In order to provide a proper comparison, I went on Basketball Reference and charted the playoff wins and losses of the top 30 NBA scorers of all-time, from Kareem to Allen Iverson, to see just how much success they had throughout their own careers.

    On average, the players on the list played in143 playoff gamesthroughout their NBA careers and had a 55% win rate.Carmelo Anthony has appeared in half as many playoff games at just 72 total and has a terrible 33% win rate, losing two games for every three that he plays.

    To see where Melo’s 33% win rate ranks, let’s run down some of the list. At the top are Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who both won66% of their playoff games. That’s probably why they both have six rings apiece.


    Patrick Ewing and Reggie Miller were around the middle of the pack, winning around 52% of their playoff games, alternating deep postseason runs, with some early outs.


    Near the bottom of the list were George Gervin and Dominique Wilkins at 28th and 29th, winning just around 40% of their playoff games.

    Carmelo Anthony’s 33% win rate is an absolute outlier. No other top scorer in the history of the league has even come close to being as bad as Melo in terms of converting playoff wins.


    Players on the list also averaged 17 playoff series victories throughout their career, at a win rate of almost 60%. Carmelo Anthony has won a grand total of 3 playoff series at a 21% win rate.


    Only two other players on the list were close to being as awful at winning a series as Melo — once again George Gervin and Dominique Wilkins.

    That win rate has now since dropped even more since Portland lost to the Lakers in the playoffs last season.

    If Dominique Wilkins is in then his chucker twin Melo with an equally low shooting percentage and spotty playoff record is in. No ands, ifs, and buts.

    He was horrible on defense, to the point his offense didn't make up for it. He only had a few good seasons where he was worth being on the court.
