Can you name 10 NBA players better than Carmelo Anthony?

    "Better"

    Bron, Kobe, Wade, Dirk, CP3, Pau, Dwight, Durant, D Rose

    Not better, but people will say they are...

    Amare, Blake, Kevin Love, Westbrook
  • Azubuike24
    Dwayne Wade
    Kevin Durant
    LeBron James
    Dwight Howard
    Kobe Bryant
    Dirk Nowitzki
    Tyreke Evans
    Derrick Rose
    Blake Griffin
    Deron Williams
    Amare Stoudemire
    Russell Westbrook
    Chris Paul
    John Wall
    Rajon Rondo

    It's hard to just say "better." In the NBA, I'd rather have a dominant point guard when I consider value, so I think some of those other guys are "more valuable" which is how I made my list over 10.

    I agree with most of this list, but Rondo, Wall and Evans, Westbrook, Griffin......no. Maybe one day though, they all have the ability.

    I would probably take Rondo over Anthony, but not the other guys, yet.

    I can't name 10 players better than Melo.
  • lhslep134
    Talent wise?

    Lebron
    Kobe
    Durant
    Dirk
    CP3

    Other players listed may be "better" but IMO those are the only ones more talented.

    Azu, I normally respect your opinion, but to have 'Melo outside your top 15 is just asinine and ignorant. You need to watch him play more.

    No sorry, Melo only plays one way basketball. He would probably be close to not being in my top 15 either. But I dont respect your opinion and think you're an idiot. and short. and fat. and look like frodo. and a habitual liar. and a pos.

    Oh no, ginger crybaby got out of his crib!! Watch out interwebz, tough guy ging has made an appearance! :rolleyes:


    Didn't I already disprove your fat theory? Stick to crying, it's a better look for you baby ginger.
  • Commander of Awesome
    Durrant
    LBJ
    Westbrook
    Dirkus Circus
    Howard
    Pierce (even though he's a pos)
    Nash
    Wade
    CP3
    Kobe
    Gasol
    Rose
    Love
    Derron Williams
    Aldridge

    That's my list of players that I rank as better NBA players ahead of him. Not saying talent or scoring but I'm not a melo fan.

    Only in your mind with your bathroom duckface photo shoot. Then I think it was rawdawg who proved you're a fat butterball who looks like a hobbit. Nice fail frodo. Stick to feeding your parrot.

    Not surprised you value Melo so much though, being as you're a short shrimp you havent ever been able to play the game. lol probably picked last in pick up games behind the taller girls. Since you got abused on the court on the defensive side you probably only value 3 pointers since that was all you were able to do.

    Lebron, wade, cp3, kobe, dirk, Howard durant, are 7 players that I think are clearly better.

    Melo is a top 3 player when considering only offense, his defense is so poor it drops him overall into that second teir of guys. I put him somewhere between 7-15

    A picture from the Rose Bowl that you creeped from my facebook from 2 years ago is more proof than a picture taken a month ago that you wanted me to post to prove my point? I think everyone who saw that thread would agree that you failed miserably. Your "2 years ago > recent" logic is laughable at best, and indicative of your narrow mindedness/ ignorance/ childishness at worst.

    Keep crying there baby ginger, keep crying :D

    Oh you're referring to your pathetic bathroom photo in low light, low res with you clearly sucking your gut in? lmao whatever helps you get through the day frodo.

    I'd say taking a topless mirror shot to show a bunch of guys on the internet that you dont know is far creepier than someone posting a FB pic. And honestly quite pathetic.

    There are very few players in the NBA that have the versatile inside/outside game like Melo. I had a hard time thinking of 10 better players based on talent alone.
  • Hb31187
    There are not 10 players in the NBA better than Melo
  • Automatik
    IMO the following are for sure better...

    Kobe
    LeBron
    Dirk
    Durant
    Wade
    Rose

    Beyond that I think its debatable.

    I always wondered why Melo gets harassed for "not playing defense" while Durant is praised for being basically the exact same type of player

    My guess is because Durant is a good rebounder.

    I think Durant is more well rounded in other aspects. He is a better passer, ball handler and rebounder. Doesnt play much defense either (like Melo), but I like his offensive game a lot more.
