Melo:: Winning record of 263-179. 84 games above .500. Made the postseason 6/6 seasons.
Spree: Losing recordd of 169-231. 62 games below .500. Missed the playoffs 5/6 seasons.
Melo's first 6 seasons:: 24.1 points, 6.1 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 3.0 turnovers per game. Field Goal percentages of .426%, .431%, .443%, .476%, .481% & .492%.
Spree's first 6 seasons: 20.0 points, 4.3 boards, 4.6 assists, 1.7 steals and 3.1 turnovers per game. Field goal percentages of .397%, .418%, .428%, .433%, .449% and .464%.
Melo was the much better player. A much stronger leader during the golden years of the Western Conference. Sprewell was nothing more than a chucker with low field goal percentages. There is no question which player was a much greater franchise leader. And it wasn't Sprewell. Say what you say about Melo's first round exits but at least Melo, unlike Sprewell, could lead his team into postseason births (during the elite/golden years of the Western Conference) including a trip to the Western Conference Finals.

You also stated how Sprewell was an All-NBA First Team when trying to "prove" how Sprewell was a "better player". Would you still like to talk about Career highlights, awards and/or accolades when comparing Carmelo/Sprewell? Or, would that not (once again) fit your little agenda TKF?
Carmelo:: 9 years.. NBA All-Rookie 1st Team. 6x NBA All-Star. 1x All-NBA Second Team. 4x All-NBA third Team. NCAA Champion (2003). NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player (2003). Big East Rookie of the Year (2003). Consensus NCAA All-American First Team (2003). NBA Rookie Challenge MVP (2005).

Sprewell: 13 years. NBA All-Rookie 2nd Team. 4x NBA All-Star. 1x NBA All-Defensive Second Team. 1x All-NBA First Team.
Only a completely clueless sports fan and/or person with a sick agenda would ever state that Sprewell was a better player when compared to Carmelo Anthony.
