Struggling for ratings tbh
Stephen A Smith thinks A) Kawhil can't score in the playoffs and B) Melo is a better player than Kawhi. He says offensively Melo is more gifted but even factoring defense he would not "take" Kawhi over Melo when listing off the top 15 players in the league.
Starts about 3:10
Not only would I take Kawhi over Melo, I'd take LMA.
I'd take Pau and Tony too, if they were the same age as Melo.
Stephen A, ignoring that they are discussing Slam Magazine's overall rankings, seems to want to reduce it to offense skills only.
Yeah, yeah, Stephen A is an idiot. But slow news day....

Melo has been overrated his whole career tbh.
SAS has always been a joke, no change there. His latest "insight" is almost as comical as his past 6 Finals predictions.
The Knicks have been pretty bad in recent years with Melo, but with a healthy Rose, Noah, Porzingis and Hornacek as HC, not making the playoffs would be really embarrassing for him. I'd take Kwahi over Melo anyday, Leonard has a ring, proven winner.
His job is to get views and he's the best in the business at it, tbh..only Bayless is on the same level..
Kawhi can't score in the playoffs b/c he averaged 23 on 48% shooting in his 5th season?![]()
Melo in his 5th season got outplayed by Luke Walton: http://www.basketball-reference.com/...vs-lakers.html
It was bound to happen. They have been critical of all sorts of superstars, Durant, Westbrook, Lebron, etc, you name it. Now it's time for Kawhi to be put under fire. Comes with the territory of being a star player.
Pretty much.
Skip leaving destroyed their perfect chemsitry.
Unless, your average fan evolves...Smith and other entertainers will will milk the out of their schtick.
Melo can't even make the Conference Finals in the east. Now that's a joke.
Sure, he "can't score" in playoffs...Clown

Impressive!
Nobody here cares what Stephen A says or does. Never seen an attention be so good at it...
I thought this was already established?
It's probably a bit, as Harlem and others have suggested...but Carmelo is his boy. Stephen A. is from NYC and Melo was born in Brooklyn.
Watched about 15 seconds and couldn't listen to his ing drivel anymore.
You'd get a better opinion from some kid on the street tbh.
Nah, it's more so the latter. Also, his limited and antiquated understanding of the game and guys like Leonard and Griffin not fitting his ignorant stereotypical version of how a "black" man is supposed to look, sound and act.
Stephen A. is the apalisoc_9 of ESPN (cept SA has an actual personality).

I wonder if Melo is as unhappy being ranked #15 as NY is in paying him all that money to watch him get his butt kicked year after year. Toss up maybe?
What an idiot that man is
KAHWI IS FINALS MVP, enough said
Kawhi is going to beat the out of the knicks the first time they meet this season
Stephen A is living proof anal can lead to pregnancy
Apalisoc_9 sock. I know you're too stupid to get that the Knicks are banking on him.
Yeah you're right they don't care about actually winning basketball games. They are really banking when their season is over in mid April.
Melo shot 28 FG and looked like sh** in two games vs. Kawhi last season. And I recall the reports that the stats were only that good b/c of times that Kawhi was not on him.
