He is a Hall of Fame player. Makes him more than simply a talent. Lance Stephenson was a talent whatever that means. Anthony's teams made the playoffs his first 9 years in the league and every team he has played on has improved record wise. That includes the Knicks.


I was impressed when they boosted their win totals from 29 games to 33.

The media and a lot of fans are on his back because he engineered a trade out of Denver. He was not the reason that the Knicks were losing though he took most of the blame. That was the product of a coach who did not properly recognize the personnel on own team. The whole "Linsanity" hype machine had much more to do with the Knicks losing than Carmelo Anthony.

Carmelo Anthony's winning percentage as his team's best player is eerily close possibly better than Russell Westbrook's record as his team's best player. Ponder that for a second before you present such "asinine thoughts.
With Anthony that includes the New York years. With Denver he completely blows him out the water.

This particular thought is almost as worse than your thoughts on Irving.

It took the Knicks brass longer than this board to realize what we all knew about Carmelo.

Quote:
"The feeling in meetings was almost unanimous: They felt he just wasn't a winning player. They thought they could turn everything around if they just moved him." Some of those execs who wanted Anthony out were the same people who strongly supported him earlier in his tenure.

Masked Marshmelo is stealing money now. I didn't expect him to decline this quick.

That is why your "bet on yourself" option was always a terrible idea for him. No way he'd have ever recouped the lost bread.

My main man Melo is about to go where all the great ones have gone at some point and that is out to pasture.

I loved him at Syracuse but he has to have one of the most useless great careers in NBA history.

In hindsight he made the right decision. His style of play wasn't exactly the type where you go from being great to sucking almost overnight.

I hope the extra money makes up for his waste of a career.

He will never be in the same conversation as his contemporary stars, and I will always appreciate that. When discussing the current era, Kobe, Wade, LeBron, Pierce and countless others will be brought up before Carmelo. He will go into the Hall of Fame and whenever he is brought up, people will discuss how he could have been a lot better if he had the mentality of a winner. Naturally gifted, but no ability to improve himself or adapt his game.

I don't know about that - plenty of guys that were just as good if not better who also didn't win anything:

Barkley
Ewing
T-Mac
Chris Webber
Malone
Kemp
Miller

A lot of those guys don't feel useless, though. Barkley, Malone, Reggie, those guys all feel like they had meaningful careers. The best equivalent on that list is Tracy McGrady. He went around compiling empty stats and didn't really leave much of a legacy behind.

Those people besides T-mac all played meaningful games on great teams.

If you make a list if biggest games playes in Carmelo isn't close to any of them besides T-Mac.

I was a fan of Brad Miller, but I'm not sure he deserves inclusion on that list.
