      You didn't mention how the individuals played in the playoffs. Maybe it was a different season, but i remember the knicks shot horribly from three. It was the year they lost to Paul George and the Pacers. Kidd missed every three he shot. JR and Felton were streaky. Love your vids, but this one was too stat focused, thought you would go beyond stats a describe game play. i do remember tyson chandler being open for dunks while melo was doubled,. Lebron found Bird man in the next series. Birdman made 24 straight FGs i believe to set a record. Love your vids! didnt watch this entire vid yet though.

  • @RRRRRRRRR33
    @RRRRRRRRR33 6 ปีที่แล้ว +100

    imo, Melo is the most overrated player ever. Compared with LeBron since day 1, some took a blind eye towards Wade in favor of Melo because of this cheap hype. Even when LeBron won MVP and Wade won a freaking ring, Melo was still up there in the "conversation" (how to define this conversation is something complicated on it's own, lol). Arrived in New York as a savior, ruins everything. Arrives in OKC as a offensive star, can't score even 12 pts at 37% shooting? C'mon, this guy is shameful. We had undimensional scorers before, English, Dominique, etc.. But they had some decency at least. Melo has nothing, the most overrated player ever. You add his outrageous salary on top of this ice cream of shit.. Hard to not consider him the most overrated.

    • @ananthshreya

      Honestly, the Wade vs LeBron argument would have been far better in the 2010s. Like I mean Wade had a championship and was robbed of the MVP in '09 while LeBron was an incredible player who had a bad team. Over all his years in the League, what has Carmello accomplished?

    The Thunder comparison was decent but the Knicks one OMG no. Tyson as a All-Star and DPOY came from being a Knick. Kidd ppg was similar but minutes played and thus time to playmake wasn't there. MOST IMPORTANTLY that was a team, an era, when a third of the roster income was shelved by Amare injury. He's remember so fondly because of Nash and Marion but Melo out there just gets shafted.
    I'll give Melo was always billed wrong. He's always compared to wings who are more guard their frontcourt player. He was always a finisher. He finishes plays. That's why Billups and Kidd/Felton worked well. Asking him or letting him play LeBron was always going to end badly.

Melo with the Pheonix version of Amare woulda been a much different story. But everyone leaves the Stoudemire injury and contract out of the conversation. Amares contract crippled the Knicks the same way Allan Houstons contract did

    What's funny is, even if you listen to Melo now in 2024 on his podcast, he still doesn't get it.
    He's almost 40, and the disconnect is still there. I can't imagine how bad it was when he was 25.

I have played against people that weren't as good as some other players all around but they were challenging for me to deal with in unpredictable ways. Doesn't necessarily mean that they are better players, just the way they played challenges me personally.

Game winning layup opportunity missed by Courtney Lee in Game 2, Game 4 Jameer Nelson's whack defense on Fisher leading to the 3s on a night when Dwight put up a monster defensive performance (like 9 blocks I guess). That series, the Magic were a matchup nightmare with Hedo, Rashard and Dwight.

JR was hella inconsistent, and I'm dumbfounded how you could possibly equate the Matrix with Shump. Pace, space, and Melo's shot making fueled that team yet you leave out that without other players around him actually contributing: JR averaging 13 points on 29%, Felton 11/3/4 on 41%, Shump 10 on 38%, Chandler just 6 and 6, Amar'e with 4 points on 38%... meanwhile Melo averaged 28/8 with 43/35/87 splits... including 39 on 52% shooting in Game 6 where only Iman Shumpert was effective besides him... but noooooooo, Melo brought the team down...

    Some good arguments, but you really can't compare teams with similar type players to each other because you have to look at who they're competing against. In 2009 Carmelo's team lost to the eventual champion Lakers, in 2013 they lost to a Pacer team that took LeBron's Heat to 7 games etc. For example, with Allen Iverson, the year he made it to the finals in 2001 was probably one of the worst years in the history of the eastern conference. I'm just saying that every year is different and you have to take that into account.

    Aguirre figures it out once he became a Piston, adopted the team first mentality at the cost of his own stats but Anthony never did.
    That said, Anthony IS the all-time leader in scoring in Olympic history on 3 gold medal winning teams, which in itself is a nice legacy.

    This is the most ridiculous statement I've ever read. Melo has been on a building team every year except for 2 seasons. One of those was a WCF appearance and the other was a 2nd seed in the east. Furthermore Carmelo is an extremely underrated perimeter defender. Sure, sometimes he is lazy off ball defense, but he gets a bad rap because he wasn't a good defender in his early years. They should have done better in 2008 but Iverson and Melo's games weren't compatible like Durant and Westbrook. Iverson and Melo both need the ball to score whereas Durant and Westbrook are better athletically so they can score off ball. Now in NY carmelo is being punished because Phil traded Jr, Shumpert, Hardaway and signed a declining Amare Stodamire.
    I'd go as far as to say Carmelo is one of the most underrated players of all time because of the sheer disrespect he recieves all the time.
