So you criticize Carmelo's FG% by never shooting 50% but at the same time praise AI even though he never came close to 50%, and shot below 40% TWICE in his career...wow

Wow

You realize that the only things that KD does better than Melo statistically speaking is PPG & FG%. Melo actually passes the ball more, and their rebounding & steals are about equal. So Melo shoots slightly worse and passes the ball more and KD is showing people how a "pure talent" is supposed to play?

Come on man...what part of the game is this? You cut on his wife?
This is the hate that hate built
