I thought it was in Melo's contract that he isn't allowed to play D.

Well, that's what I thought but apparently I'm wrong and he's really underrated defensively.

4 facts Enfuego.

1. Carmelo Anthony is overated and as long as he is the best player on any team, they will never remotely compete for an NBA Championship
2. Kirk Cousins will look like a better quarterback than Bob Griffin within 2 years
3. You have the most boring life of anyone on this forum
4. I am drunk

1) I agree with you on #1 for sure.
2) No way.
3) Just because I won't watch another guy from about a foot away bang a chick I'm boring? Carry on looking at slongs TGOR.
4) Have fun.

I think his defensive effort lacks alot. He is capable of playing good defense but lots of times just lets players easily blow past him

Keep on bumping those baseball threads Justine Bateman. Doing that is the epitome of sad.

Define remotely compete? Would conference finals count as that?

Don't you live in Hawaii? Sure a lot of people would swap in an instant based on that alone.

No shit, I almost moved there last year.

If you think Melo is 'underrated' as a defender, you need to lay off the drugs.

As much as I liked your list of guys you would "take on your team over him", even though I have no clue what that means. Who do you think is better than him based on trying to win the most amount of games possible as the best player on their team?

I'll try to slow it down a bit for you.

If I were an expansion franchise, and I was starting an NBA franchise, I'd take the 10 guys I listed to start on my new expansion team over Carmelo "Marc" Anthony. Now, there is no confusion for you any longer as to what I mean. I think it's very clear.

Thanks for slowing it down for me, I needed that.

I listed my top 10 in the other thread like you asked, but it wasn't a very unique list or anything.

No, he sucks on defense.

Yes, he's improved and is underrated defensively.

He's just average.

Who cares?
