she's speaking honestly and accurately about carmelo anthony. that's the crux of the matter. obviously she's a knick fan and she doesn't like weak players. you don't like what she says then address that instead of denigrating her as a person. it's not smart otherwise..

B) Coco can ridicule other athletes who are more accomplished than she is. In your opinion she should only say things about athletes who suck. That would be bullying. Are you a bully?

C) No one knows or cares who she is? Obviously you do not follow tennis. You a non-tennis fan saying that no one cares or knows about Coco Vandeweghe would be like a non-basketball fan saying no one cares or knows about Kevin Durant.

D) I happen to disagree with Coco regarding Melo. I love Melo. I believe he is tough, a great scorer, and a great Knick. But see, I can actually appreciate someone's opinions who do not mesh with mine. Coco said Melo is soft. I respect her opinion and honor her right to give it.

E) Comical? If I were going for comedy I would simply reprint every post you ever wrote.

She is far from accurate. Look at the guys that talk about how unstoppable Melo is. They are hofs. You can't be that guy if you aren't incredibly strong willed, motivated, in shape and physically strong. If she said it about Tyson maybe she has a point. Bargs I would agree with. You don't say that about a guy that carries a bunch of nobodies or injury plagued players every spring on his back into the playoffs. Her description fits what you want him to be but his play and preperation don't fit her description at all. She needs to worry a lot more about her game.

he hasn't won anything. they are all saying he is a scorer. big picture: bfd. i hear gamesmanship in all of it. he is still a loser. he's mentally frail.

You an say a lot about Melo..Soft ain't one of them..She needs to bone up a bit on hoops..My point exactly..When you take shots at other sports figures, prepare for your game and your person to be scrutinized..

you're being foolish here. she is addressing his mental makeup. playing hard, playing smart. his defense is SOFT-- no two ways about it so don't even try.

or better yet-- try

Defense is Soft??..Coming from an Amare fan, MDA, SSOL supporter..

before you return like a welsh corgi to your own doggydoo, you agree he is mentally frail, then?

If I had to single one guy out who is the most difficult player to guard in the league, it would have to be Carmelo. He’s a unique blend of being big, strong, and athletic while also having a world-class shooting touch and a natural ability to get to the rim. That’s what sets him apart — every facet of his game is elite.

To Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony is the toughest cover in the NBA. Tougher, even, than LeBron James.

"For me, yeah," Bryant told Stephen A. Smith in an interview Wednesday.

"He's always been a player that I enjoyed guarding the most," Bryant said. "He was the most difficult because of his size and his speed."

Listen to Kobe's comments:

Play DownloadBryant added that Anthony's shooting range and his ability to drive to the rim and score in the post make him one of the most lethal offensive weapons in the NBA.

"Melo does it all and he's as strong as a bull," Bryant said. "For me, I weigh [180 pounds] soaking wet. Going up against that bull, man, it's fun but it's extremely challenging."

But Durant hasn't just excelled while being hidden on the less-glamorous end of the court, as has been the case in the past. Scott Brooks no longer needs to save his superstar's energy for his point-scoring exploits, and that's allowed K.D. to take on some tougher matchups.

None are tougher than two players, though.

"Kobe (Bryant) and Carmelo (Anthony)," Durant revealed as his most difficult covers during an ESPN Radio appearance (h/t Royce Young of DailyThunder.com for the transcript). "They just have an array of moves that can get me off balance. They’re strong on defense as well, but Kobe is just the ultimate one-on-one player. It would be fun playing against him but it would be tough to beat him."

Coach Mike Krzyzewski spoke glowingly of Anthony.
“I’d take him anywhere,’’ Coach K said. “He’s been committed since 2004 — he and LeBron. Carmelo is a great guy, not just a great player. In the first meeting [Monday night], looking at the group, he’s so excited to be here — a kid in a candy store. That’s pretty darn good. … [James], Melo, Chris, they are USA Basketball.”

She said her team was the knicks when asked, and then was asked about melo. Its not like she just blurted out randomly about Melo.

Melo NCAA champ, two time Gold medalist (got to be good enough to make that team!!!) and scoring champ.

Coco said he was soft last year. He kinda was. He has had better seasons. He was hurt too.

U once said Melo was top 5..

No I don't think so. Find the quote and I will admit it but be sure you get the whole quote so we can look at the context. You know what context is don't you
