ESPN: Carmelo Anthony is the last great ball hog.

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

lebron ain't even top 5 in usage rate

Har_en has to be near the single season record for usage rate in a season

ESPN stay on some bullshyt....

How? They’ve been on the money about Melo since everyone got up in arms about ranking him in the 60’s for Nba players. They knew the truth about Melo before anyone else.
Melo is super washed

By the Bron and Harden-hater definition, basically every traditional point guard is a ball-hog

SILLY CAC...

TRADITIONAL PGS DONT DRIBBLE THE
AIR OUT OF THE BALL
LOOKING TO SCORE FIRST
ONLY TO GIVE IT UP TO A TEAMMATE
WITH THE CLOCK RUNNING DOWN
WHEN THEY CANT GET A BUCKET.

ITS THE EITHER I SCORE
OR I GET AN ASSIST EVERY PLAY MENTALITY
THAT RUSS HAS MASTERED.

NOW LOOK AT MY 12 DIMES.
I CANT BE A BALL HOG.

Lol the article has very little to do with usage rate, and more to do with the value of the 3 vs the value of the mid-range where Fat Iverson usually operates from. Essentially you can't be an inefficient chucker who shoots alot of mid range shots in today's NBA.

He’s been in the league for 15 years... and was one of the most skilled offensive players in the league... He elevated Denver to playoff status after the franchise had missed the playoffs for damn near a decade straight.... then went to New York and got them to a semi finals after about decade of ineptness... those are the facts

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Looks like maybe 1 person read the article

Well done @!#*=?$@

Inflammatory/sensationalized title..... that’s why I didn’t read

Birds evolved from Dinosaurs.

That’s my point he didn’t evolve his era is done with now we got birds

LeBron and Harden have the ball in their hands more than 90% of the PGs in the league. The difinition of the ball hog.

You mad cause LeBron better than that patchy face bytch in your avatar?

 

[FS4LFE]

Wait neither LeBron or westbrook are in the top 5 in usage rate? That's not what the COLIseum told me

Most of the clowns who talk shyt about Bron and Westbrook don’t even acknowledge stats like usage because they think it’s for cacs.

They’d much rather keep pushing narratives driven by hate and jealously.

Who knew that knee injury the start of the next season would be that drastic and end him like that,

It use to be nightly Melo would have 10 points in the first quarter with ease after that knee injury he wasn't the same and was up and down and go on crazy long shooting percentage droughts and before the injurys Melo was a 45 or 46% shooter which is very good for a bad shot taker he is

I counted 4 total made baskets in the paint

No one is questioning his legacy. He’s one of greatest to ever play. The guy is washed now though and that’s a fact.

Washed for his status, yeah...

James Harden?

he plays differently than traditional ball hog type players. MJ/Kobe/Melo lived in the mid range which is considered bad now. James is a ball hog that plays the modern way....all 3's and close range, hardly any midrange jumpers
