Depends on what you consider "improve." His skillset did not change, it was always there. He made the decision to change his game, and his supporting cast has been the biggest influence, which he even admitted.

his natural skillset did not change. The way he used it has and it has on both sides of the court. He is not better because of his cast, they are better because he is making them better.

This.

if that makes your feel better ... so this is the best team that melo has had? Not even close.

sad how hard this is for some of you. Just enjoy that phil has made the impossible happen.

Those easy baskets are what help the other big time players efficiency.

I told you all from the beginning that Carmelo was still trying to get his legs under him. He is now riding to form and will only get better. By the second half of the season, his shooting will return and we might be saying that he is the MVP of the league

When things weren't good with Karl, the locker room, DAntoni, etc... he's shown to be downright unlikable. I think he's a good guy and likable. I say this because he has strong peer support and relationships, and his teammates speak highly of him. This is clearly the best basketball he's played in his career. Give him credit as he has clearly tried, but damn... Fisher's reputation is that of a leader of men. That's what Kobe and Durant said. Remember he ran the player's union? And Phil.. Zenmaster. The fastest way to improve is from within, and they have created an environment that has brought out the best in this player. Something no coach or situation has been able to do since honestly Syracuse.

they should get credit. that and melo finally becoming more mature.

I think that the media was all over him this year and he finally gave in. That and of course phish in his ears.

He does seem to really love KP and Rolo which is a credit to their amazing characters. Both of them are exceptionally smart men.

I think it is reality. What guys have passed through ny that compare to the guys he is playing with now?

now? this is a good team? He is making these not so good players play much better. When you trust your teammates you empower them.

Anyway, this is silly. People want to hold onto the idea that he played that way because he had no players to pass to, fine. This is about how great he has been playing lately.
