Lebron vs Melo

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Melo is a more skilled scorer than Lebron. Lebron is more skilled at everything else.

Melo has more offensive moves, a better jumper, and a better post game. James is a better ball handler, passer, rebounder etc.

As a pure scorer? Yeah, Carmelo is ahead of LeBron. The only guy in the Association who is even close to Carmelo's level as a scorer is Kevin Durant.

As good of a scorer as LeBron is, I really don't consider that to be the best part of his game. It's the way he can dominate an opponent and be by far the best player on the floor while only taking 8-10 shots and maybe only scoring 12-15 points.

Actually, despite his ridiculous line, LeBron didn't play all that well last night. He over-dominated the ball and his shot selection left something to be desired.

Carmelo, on the other hand, has to score to be great IMO. That's not a knock- it's just that his overwhelming strength is as a scorer.

Great summation ...joe. I would add Kobe in that class as a scorer ...

As a pure athlete and all-around specimen and player lebron has no peer
