Cacs are saying Nikola Jokic > Carmelo Anthony

[OfTheCross]

Carmelo Anthony is Michael Beasley without the drug addiction

Jokic who has won 2 mvps and is gonna win a 3rd. Melo has never been close lol. Melo never been first team all NBA

If you don’t have Jokic in your top 3 right now you’re just an idiot frankly

So he’s better than Giannis, KD, Luka and Steph?

It’s okay, Nash won 2 MVPs and was never the best player in the league either. He’s in good company.

It’s interesting how if certain things went differently people careers would be looked at differently
People act like melo isn’t bron contemporary, melo is closer to bron than Charles Barkley is to Jordan

Ship has sailed on this comparison. Arvidas Sabonis woulda been Jokic if he came over in 86 instead of ten years later.

I’m convinced Portland steals at least 1 or 2 championships that the Bulls won if Sabonis came over in the 1980s.

Those late 80s and early 90s Blazers teams really could have used him

Jokic is better than Nash ever was. When did Nash ever have the best advanced stats in the league? Do you understand the numbers he’s putting up right now?

Nash was winning mvps with all nba players like Amare and Marion. Jamal Murray didn’t play last year and has never made an all star team. Bad comparison

Jokic is in GOAT conversations now

There’s no way Luc Longley or Bill Cartwright defend that guy.

 

[Luke Cage]

How about against the Bad Boys Pistons in 1990?

False. Barkley is a Top 5 player of an entire era, 90s basketball. Melo isn't Top 10 of the 00s or 10s...

Barkley is still regarded as a Top 25 GOAT, and was ranked higher when he retired 23 years ago. Melo is maybe a Top 60 player if you're being generous and have an affinity for him...

There is no world in which Melo is closer to Bron than Barkley to Mike...

This is asinine. The volume and efficiency Barkley was able to score at in his prime is seldom seen. On top of that he’s one of the greatest rebounders of all time. Chuck almost won an MVP over peak Magic and Jordan. And he eventually did win MVP over Jordan and peak Hakeem too.
