    you guys must have a very short memory. the media made this into a debate(much like durant being hyped up as a possible #1 candidate over oden). and this continued into their rookie years where many argued that carmelo deserved rookie of the year over lebron and was the better player.

    The problem with Melo isn't his talent, it's his ego. The guy is a headcase.

    Some people worked really hard to turn this into a "debate", but really, there was no questions that Lebron>Melo.

    The argument against LeBron was that he had only played against high school competition and he couldn't shoot.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I had forgotten that. For the first 2-3 seasons of James' career, Rosen maintained that James was an overhyped, mediocre player. That's pretty Stephen A. Smith-ish.
