universally recognized as an ALL-TIME great player...Melo, on the other hand, is not


>and the movement to cast Melo as "Kobe" is disgusting

Ya'll make ish up as you go, huh? Who has ever said Melo is Kobe...their only similarity is that they're both inefficient volume shooters...but other than that no one has ever casted Melo as Kobe lolololol

Misfits? Oh word...so Artest was a misfit (who pretty much won game 7 in the finals vs Boston when Kobe was misfiring the entire game 6-24)...Bynum, too? (who was arguably the best center in the league at that time)...Odom?!?!? (who was LA's most versatile player and *6th man* of the year)....Fisher (who had championship pedigree and had hit numerous big shots in the postseason/finals for LA)

And then ya'll want to pretend as if its everyone else engaging in hyperbole smh

He isn't chucking??? So the criticisms abt his shot selection is inaccurate...even Phil told him at the beginning of last season to cut down on his FGAs which he has NEVER shot 50%

Makes me wonder do ya'll actually watch and pay attention to the games

And lets not forget he still holds the dubious distinction of taking the most shot attempts in a 7-game series vs Boston in 2013...but I guess that's not chucking *shrugs*
