    Ebi? lol.

    Honestly, let's start some threads that are debatable. And by debatable I don't mean arguing between bron and melo, because that always ends up in a draw.

    I should go start a thread entitled "Who is worse? Bron or melo?" just to mock the recent trend of threads on JBB.

    The ones where we argue who will be ROY/who is better. The answer either changes based on who played better that week, or we end up concluding that they will be co-ROY's.

    We all know that, but December Melo fell out of the race quickly while Bron's stock rose up to the NBA's elite (for that month)

    As of now, co-rookies are out of the question unless Melo starts putting up better numbers.

    Once again someone not giving any respect to Melo's teammates. This is a bran new team, Melo was not the only addition, you know this.

    Melo is not winning these games for Denver, every night it is someone different who steps up, Boykins, Camby, Lenard, Miller...you just don't know who to focus on.

    They are a great team.

    Switch Melo with Bron, then see who would have the W's.

    Anyway LeBron is the future.

    Ummmm no. I see what you are saying, but Bron plays the point. I don't think that he would do as successfully in Denver as Andre Miller. Yes, if they switched teams the nuggets would still have more wins, but I think that Bron would still be more successful with the Cavs.

    Ummmm yes. Bron can play the 1, 2, or the 3. You have a better knowledge than that now, I would hope.

    Lets not forget that James is 6'8" 240 lbs and Melo is 6'8" 220 lbs.

    I knew you'd say that. The difference between Bron and Melo is that Bron is all-around, and Melo is a scorer. If Bron was in Denver he would not get as many boards (Nene, Camby), would not run the point (Miller, Boykins), and would not have the offensive green light that he has in Cleveland.

    The Nuggets would still be better than the Cavs, but Bron would still be more successful in Cleveland, I don't think that is debatable.

    Almost. Lebron, Melo, and Darko! [​IMG]

    All right, all right, seriously. All joking aside if you watched him the last few games you could see that he had potential. He is very quick (Speed, Agility, and Laterally), has some nice moves and can finish. All he needs to do is raise his stamina, gain more muscle (He became stronger already but he needs to get some more strength), and get a free throw stance. Also, he could make his long range shot more consistent. (Assuming that he as one)

    We all know about Lebron and Carmelo. Something bugs me about Melo's game though, I can't point to it though. I think it will keep him from becoming a legendary player. (Not even legendary, just an amazing player)

    That is all personal opinion, and I refuse to comment any further. All that needed to be said was said, I'll let the people decide, I have nothing to prove to you.
