Dwight was a game changer on both ends. Best defender, best rebounder, and best shot blocker in the league at his peak with a post game better than he got credit for and was a top 2 P&R big man in basketball who has the speed and stamina to play fast and run with his guards on the break. As good as Carmelo was, Dwight was better. It’s nuts how underrated he’s become in the years since his decline.
Dwight was 2nd in MVP voting over prime LeBron and Wade in 2011 and should’ve won imo. If that doesn’t tell you how good he was idk what does

Melo was never the best at his position, while Dwight arguably was at one point.

Melo has the natty + 3 gold medals.

DH offense >> Melo defense

If I had to start a team with one of those two, it would be peak Dwight.
it’s not the nba hof, it’s the basketball HOF.

Dwight was arguably top-5 at one point. The best at his position. First-team All-NBA. Won 3 DPOY's in a row. And got his team to the Finals

This is an insult to Dwight.
There is no arguably about it. He was top5 for years and many believe he shouldve won MVP in 2011


Comparing his career to Melo is disrespect
