But its not just the "average dumb fan" who says Melo is a ball hog, this has been said by sports writers/commentators, former players/coaches/GMs as well as fans

Yeah you did a random google search trying to find an article where someone said Jordan was a ball hog was what I was pointing out - at least find some credible ppl who said Jordan was a ball hog lol...not a guy who didn't even cover the sport which was evident by the non sense he was saying

Wtf!!! YOU brought Jordan in this, not me, I just refuted the lie you tried to advance abt him being a ball hog smh - this is typical of you Melo stans to bring up another player then try and make it like his critics are the ones comparing him to them

And your point is incorrect - its not abt shooting a lot, its abt taking good shots and being efficient as well as setting up teammates because even w/bad teammates you can still play TEAM BASKETBALL...

You never answered my question: is Durant considered a ball hog? And if he isn't how in the hell was that the so-called "narrative" abt Jordan
