Is Carmelo in the same level with Lebron and Dwyane?

[Rapper]

During the playoffs this year, this dude is playing better than before

Does he catch up with Lebron and Dwyane already?

[Findog]

No, he's a tier below. I put him in the 1.5 category. LeBron, Wade and Kobe are 1's. He's having a great year because I think he's one of those guys who follow the tone, they don't set it. And this year you have Billups in for AI, role players brought in to play defense, a renewed commitment to playing defense on the part of the coaching staff, as well as his experiences playing alongside those guys at the Olympics and seeing how hard they work.

I have to give Melo props for making more of an effort to contest plays and rotate and help on defense. He's getting to be quite adequate at D. It just makes him that much more dynamic a player. He's got a great supporting cast, so whatever he doesn't bring you, other guys on the team can.

he's also a backwards fighting pussy













that will curbstomp the mavs in the next game




















but a pussy nonetheless

[Ghazi]

dude hasn't even been the best player on the court in BOTH of the series this year.

dude ain't even a top 15 player.

[u4lakers14]

probably on wades level

not even close to lebron.

[Double-Up]

No he is not. He's like a less physical young Paul Pierce.

[Lars]

no

[Cry Havoc]

No one is on the top tier except LeBron at this point. His team without him is a 25 win team at best.

[mavs>spurs2]

Wade is definitely up there with Kobe and Lebron, you people are way off here. Dude's as complete of a player as there is.

[baseline bum]

Not even close. If Denver can somehow take LA, then maybe.

Is Carmelo in the same level with Lebron and Dwyane?


I hope this is a joke

[Jacob1983]

Wade is not on the same level as Lebron. Wade hasn't done by himself. Take away the million free throws Wade made in the 2006 Finals, and he's just an all star type player that can't get his team out of the 1st round. Lebron makes his teammates better. Wade does not. Carmelo hasn't done anything either.

[Rapper]

Well but His stats in the playoffs is 26.7 points 6.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game

Man this is a MVP statistics, isn'it?

[Rapper]

Wade was the final MVP of 2006

How about Lebron? what he did and what has he achieved?

Final MVP is more valuable than regular season MVP

All man know that

[Ghazi]

Parker > Lebron

all man know that

[Jacob1983]

No one gives a about 2006 anymore, What has Wade done lately? Seriously, what did the Heat do in the playoffs this year? How about last year or the year before last? Who has Wade made better on the Heat?

[JoeTait75]

How about Lebron? what he did and what has he achieved?

If you saw what the Cavaliers were in the years before LeBron arrived, you wouldn't have to ask that question.

As for Carmelo, I'd put him up with anyone in the league as a pure scorer, and that includes LeBron, Kobe or D-Wade. I'm not sure he has the other elements to be in the super-elite category though. Maybe someday.

[Killakobe81]

I agree with a few of teh posters ...LBJ & Kobe are at the top 1a and 1B Wade is the clear#3 but only if Duncan never gets back to 100% then he is below Duncan. Melo is battling for top 5 with Dirk, and Dwight Howard.

[Sean Cagney]

probably on wades level

not even close to lebron.

NO, he needed damn Billups to get outta round one, he is not near Wade yet. He is a step below Wade and Bron, it's that simple.

No one gives a about 2006 anymore, What has Wade done lately? Seriously, what did the Heat do in the playoffs this year? How about last year or the year before last? Who has Wade made better on the Heat?

Wade got what 30 ppg and 7 rbpg and 5 assists per game, and one block and steal a game? Thats what has he done lately? Are you serious? With that team he had he made it to the playoffs and a game 7, ru serious you hater? I give a fukk about 06 too as I am not still bitter and hate on that great of a player he is, he is that good. Who has he made better? Who does he have on that team really? Exactly, stop your hate for him from 06.

[Jacko]

Melo doesn't play defense and that is why he can never be put in the Tier 1 category.

[spursbird]

I wouldnt even put him in the 1.5 category. I put guys like Dirk, Bosh, and Wade in that category. Wade is not on James and Kobes level either. Carmella has much to prove before I put him in the category with any of the guys I just mentioned.

In which way Wade is worse than LBJ or Kobe? The Heat winned only 15 games last season, and has improved to 43 wins this season, all because Wade is healthy.

[dirk4mvp]

As for Carmelo, I'd put him up with anyone in the league as a pure scorer, and that includes LeBron, Kobe or D-Wade.

[Killakobe81]

I also agree offensively he is the most dangerous scorer because his size, skill speed and footwork. I still think Kobe is the most complete offensive weapon but Melo more efficent due to his size.

[Jacob1983]

I will admit that Wade can score, get steals, and assists but he turns the ball over a lot and has proven that he cannot lead a team deep in the playoffs with help i.e. Shaq and maybe some love from the refs and Stern. When Wade gets to the 2nd round or ECF then I will give him some props but until that happens he ain't all that in my book. And yes, I do know that Wade has gotten out of the 1st round before but he hasn't done that since 2006.

Carmelo is not even a top 10 player. He can't play defense and he turns the ball over a lot. And he isn't even the best player on his team. Rat Billups is the best player and MVP on the Nuggets.

[024]

melo needs to play defense to be top tier. right now he's just a pure scorer.
