So, >Rex...I come to you, my dude...cuz we go way back. What is it >that Melo supporters want with this agenda? Is it pure hate >for Lebron. Is it that yall want Melo to be mentioned in the >placement talks with Magic, Bird, Kobe, Timmy, Bron, etc? Is >it that yall feel Melo is Bron's equal as a player? It's not even that. Most of us recognize that for all the hate, Melo is a top ten PLAYER. You got cats that hate him for no reason, say he's just a gunner and that's it, when it's not the case. There's literally no reason to hate dude, but cats hate him anyway.
Melo is who he is...a great player that gets bashed for not being Lebron, but has yet to EVER get the kind of help that Lebron, or even other star players have. He's never had a big 3...shit he was supposed to team up with Amare, who was a shell of himself once Melo got there.
Or...is >it just a na, na, nee, na, na about JR and Shump? Like, on >some the nerve of them thinking Bron could get something out >of those two ninjas that Melo couldn't? Help me out. That's the point...not even Lebron James could get more out of those dudes. Cats ripped Melo for not making his teammates better, when Lebron literally went through what Melo has for 2+ seasons. JR was still JR, and Shump was still Shump, and most every Knick fan said Melo can't win if you're leaning on those 2 to be your 2nd and 3rd best players. But even if you look up and down this post, you'll find cats that still wanna bash him.
Everytime something happens to Melo, cats on this board laugh at him, rip him, call him all sorts of XYZ and so forth. There's a few cats (you included) that can look at things objectively, but most just hate dude. They say Paul George is better, they say other cats is better (Celery even said Nic Batum was better). And all Knick fans ask is that people be consistent with their argument. If you're a Lebron fan, it's hard to say that Melo doesn't make his team better when his 2nd best player was JR, and yet he didn't get any further with JR as his 2nd best player. You can't say Kobe took way too many shots and shot a low % in a Finals game (which they won) but tout Lebron, when he shot terribly too.
Even in this post, JR says something and people take it as gospel. People questioned his leadership when he couldn't get past Indiana with JR as his 2nd best player, and RAYMOND FELTON (think about that one). Chandler was banged up and got smashed by Hibbert, Melo averaged 28 & 7 and cats STILL blamed him.
Another post had Shane Battier and Jared Dudley calling him overrated...where Paul Pierce, Kobe Bryant and a lot BETTER players are saying he's top 10...but cats heed those words from JARED DUDLEY and rip dude.
Personally, I like Lebron. I like Carmelo more, (Syracuse fan), and he's a Knick...so when a lot of the Lebron stans start bashing Melo for NO REASON, and don't even take things into account, cats wait for their opportunity to pounce on Lebron stans.
There's fans of Lebron that are cool fans (like you and some others), that won't bash another player (too much, unless he deserved it) and look at things from a full lens...but then you get cats that like to "party" when something goes wrong with their favorite player. I don't say a word when cats get hurt...but when Melo got hurt people laughed and blamed his conditioning
I have no problem with cats hating on Melo...have at it. It's all in fun for the most part. But don't get mad or run when your favorite player is under similar circumstances and comes up short.
