Silly...I think u have had enough time to assess Melo's game to realize he is a rhythm shooter or player...No sure MDA understood that either so nothing personal...Melo shoots himself into rhythm...He is not a consistently hot shooter..He is extremely streaky...Not like JR who comes and goes...Melo needs shots and can shoot himself into most games, not all, most...He needs touches period..It would be great if he could stand in a corner and just knock down jumpers, but he just isn't that dude no matter how much we whine about it...To a lessor extent, LeBron is that way too..He too takes some crazy shots at times but when he starts knocking them down it's over...
you pretty much explained why no team should ever, ever be built around him.....
What he said is actually applicable to all the top scorers in the league except Durant who is ridiculously efficient. Also, Melo's overall fg%, fg% from mid-range and fg% in the paint is superior to the two players you constantly pine and whine over (Gallo and Lin). Go figure.
actually not, the top scorers in the league, guys like lebron, wade, are also very efficient.... so is dirk, so it is not applicable..
and here you go again, it is sad when all you can do is base your defense using gallo and lin.... so now you are setting melo standards by guys you obviously feel are inferior.. typical melo lovers mentality.. no wonder why these discussions go nowhere.. LOL....
actually I pine and whined over lebron...... so now what?
I can agree with LeBron, Wade, Dirk and Durant. I will also state that people killed LeBron and Dirk, in the same manner you kill Melo, for YEARS AND YEARS.
I bring up Gallo and Lin to point out your hypocrisy. You kill Melo for things while ignoring all the flaws of Gallo and Lin. If you applied your harsh and warped criticism to all players equally then I would not need to point out your agenda driven hypocrisy.
