And the Most Outstanding Player on a championship team. (And the National Defensive Player of the Year as a freshman to boot.)

So I don't think anyone arguing that Melo was better in AD in college should go the route of trying to reduce or shit on what AD accomplished. AD was tremendous, and I think attempting to reduce how tremendous he was is counter-productive in your pro-Melo arguments imo. I think the pro-Melo camp can easily make their argument *without* shitting on AD at all.
