NBA: Who is More Difficult to Guard - Carmela or Lebron?

[Calispursfan11]

While Lebeta is clearly the best in the league atm, some have called Carmela the most difficult individual to guard in the league. Looking at Carmela, he also appears to have gained enough weight in flab to rival Lebron's overall freight train size in the post and on the dribble drive, giving him even more of an edge in those situations. I hate Carmela even worse than Lebron but the argument can be made that fatboy's individual (not team) offensive skills are equal to or better than Lebron's atm. Thoughts?

It's 2014 bro, Lebron is the hardest player to guard in the league ever since he developed a consistent jumpshot.

people that argue Carmelo is the toughest player to guard or the best scorer are so vanilla, tbh..that argument was popular in 2009, but I'm not surprised a moron like OP would bring this up in 2014, tbh..

What person, with any legitimacy, is still making that claim.

I remember Kobe once said fat guy was the most difficult to guard. Bron is unarguably better overall but Melo has the edge in offense though the gap is rather small. Melo only hurts his team's offense when he goes chucker mode imho

Lebron 'cause against Carmelo 60% of the time you just have to wait standing there for him to take a 18 foot shot fading away.

[apalisoc_9]

Strong help defense.

59% shooting wing player.

End of discussion.

I had to check to see if that was real, damn.

It's unreal. GOAT-level to be quite honest, and I don't even like Lebron.

That's just a crazy-ass number.

why are you so gay for lebron, tbh?

[SpurSwag]

Like someone said, this argument could be made in 2010 the latest but it is clearly Lebron. Melo settles way too often for horrible jumpers while lebron doesn't settle at all anymore

Would you like Lebron better if he purred and meow'd more often, tbh?..

[HI-FI]

one is chubby and the other uses PEDs better than Lance Armstrong, so I'll go with the latter.

Or if his gf's sister told him he needed to like Lebron

wtf does kobe know about guarding players these days

heat at losing to fatboy's team tonite. Lebron nutsuckers as well. He may be the best right now but he's no GOAT. Come on now. He may someday be close but he would need a few more championships and even then, with the superteam around him, he probably still falls short. Other than Pippen, MJ had to carry mostly scrubs and role players by himself.

How's the Lebron guzzling business been treating you, Paki er?

Honestly, with the exception of his fans, I do like Lebron. He's a great player, but he lost his GOAT card in 2011 and his 2013 series wasn't all that impressive as well. He'll be Top 5, perhaps Top 3 but Jaundice undefeated 6x Finals record along with the accolades and his contribution to the game is hard to beat.

Nasty

[Duncan21kid]

tbh the only thing melo has over lebron in terms of offense is his jumper. Melo has always had the smoother shot between the two but thats it.

[Calispursfan11]

According to Stephen A, Lebron wants nothing to do with guarding Melo



Tbh Bron Bron looks like a scared deer in the headlights below so Stephen A's theory might be legit.
