Who gives a pig's *** about the olympics for this discussion?
And his shooting isn't an issue when his FG% for his career is 48%.
Melo can shoot, he's got a 43% career fg%.
Numbers tell the truth, shooting or no shooting. Any coach would sacrifice shooting for that kind of efficiency.
Yeah a whopping .030% difference. Wade also goes to the line more and hit less FT's.
100% cannot be disputed that Melo is a better scorer.
Brother that's 5% difference. Wade gets 100 looks, 48 go in. Anthony gets 100 looks, 43 go in.
Wade's career ppg: 25.2
Melo's career ppg: 24.7
Playoffs:
Wade: 25.9 ppg
Anthony: 24.9 ppg
100% better scorer?
In all seriousness Melo and Wade are very similar players if you look at their careet numbers per 36 minutes
Melo>Wade - points per game, 3PT%, FT%, Rebounds per game
Wade>Melo - FG%, blocks per game, turnovers, assists per game, steals.
Melo is 27, Wade is 30 and their careers are still going.
Career wise I give a slight edge to Wade but if I had to choose today, I take Melo and it's not me being a homer.
