I don't understand why people think it's so easy to work the paint in this since he isn't a center or PF. If the shyt was that easy more PG's/SG's and SF's would be doing it...[DOUBLEPOST=1397502591][/DOUBLEPOST]
Bro so if getting to the rim isn't a skill and is so easy to score points, then how come more players don't do it?

Oh yea that's right.. #WPOY2014

At his size and with his speed, it's very easy. And yes, there are players who are even worse than Lj, like Shumpert and Cole Aldrich, because Shump can't finish at the rim consistently and Cole can't do it at all. Are you really caping of this skill?

You never answered the question.

If you claim it's not a skill and easy then why can't more players do it?

I'm not caping, I'm asking a simple question.

I just told you. It's easy with his size and athleticism. Most players don't have that.

Ok then it's a skill.
Now shut the fukk up.

Lebron has always been a better scorer than Melo. So its not surprising. If Lebron had stayed in Cleveland his point totals would have even been higher.

I disagree. Melo had the midrange post and outside game developed before Lebron. There was a point in time when the gap between their offensive skills wasn't that big. But now bron is obviously better.

Yes but Lebron was still the better scorer. Similar to Duncan vs Shaq. Duncan had more go to moves, but Shaq was still the better scorer. Shaq's 3 moves were more deadly than all of Duncan's post moves combined.

Who said it wasn't a skill? It's a skill that a lot of players should and do have. As for your 2nd comment: No.

Name the players in the NBA that can get to the rim at will, no matter who's running the paint.

And just seen your essay on the Melo getting a pass thread you got a lot of time on your hands.

I do work from homebut most of it was copied and pasted from having said it before. How does what I do concern you?No one can get to the rim at will, no matter who's running the paint. Roy made Lj's FG% look like Lj was a good jump-shooter in the Pacers series and that with Wade and Bosh playing. Some good drivers are John Wall, Jeff Teague, Ty Lawson, Monte Ellis, Rondo, 'Melo, KD, Rose, Westbrook etc.

If you watched the Pacer game from Friday the jumpers and shots he made from inside the paint were falling away from the rim.

I did see the game but I don't know understand what you're trying to argue. That said, no one ever said it wasn't a skill; it's just not an impressive one. It's just easier for him than people who aren't as big and athletic. Finishing is a skill but easier for Shaq than most. It's not an impressive skill, like free throw shooting isn't impressive but some of the laziest people are bad at it.

It not being impressive is debatable. Few players can say hey I'm not shooting well or I can't get to the line, so I can rely on me getting to the basket in order to create offense.

That's because they're too lazy to practice it (not because it's so difficult to learn), too little, or too slow.

I Knew I was finna be tagged. When you share the ball with AI for a couple seasons that tends to happen to you

Don't worry about my phat booty goat will be the higher career scorer between the two don't worry

And until Bron got the higher career high, we already know Melo is that boy with the points
