- NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
The only reason for that is cause people blindly dikkride him and blindly hate Melo..rather than actually looking at the facts and thinkin for themselves..

Dudes don't rally behind Melo like they do for LeBron. Not only is LeBron unselfish but he also has a charismatic personality. If Melo's jumper isn't falling, what other impact is he having on the game?

Iono, it's more in relation to the narrative of this thread. Folks are acting like JR had no success playing alongside Melo, and that all of a sudden beside LBJ he's become a great spot up 3point shooter. He has streaky years. He gets hot, he goes cold. That has just as much to do with his recent success as him playing alongside LBJ does. But overall, YES, playing alongside a 6'8 passing machine like LBJ will take you to the next level. Iono. I'll give LBJ all credit in the world, but the black and white narrative of this thread.

LBJ is one of the nicest, most endearing superstars to ever play the game. White folks are gonna love him for a looong time. Especially if he delivers a championship to that Blue-Collar, No-Nonsense, Midwestern Values town of Cleveland. But when he was in that Den Of Sin called Miami?

So basically you had no point in relation to what I said?
You said yourself that Melo led the Nuggets the WCF and the Knicks to 50 wins...that sounds pretty black and white to me. It's only an issue when it's time to get black and white on the other side of that coin I guess 
.
JR admitted this himself, from his own mouth, I really don't understand why people are saying otherwise.
And let's not forget that JR also admitted that he had trouble understanding the triangle offense, but ya'll keep using this agenda to shyt on Melo, I'll let ya'll cook though
How many SFs are equipped to play point forward? Why are you making anomalies at the position's history a standard?
That position is primarily for scorers yet you want Melo to play Pip, Bron, Bird rather than Gervin, English, King, Dantley, Aguirre, Erving, Worthy, Pierce etc it's always been.
Pierce, English and Worthy have seasons where they averaged more than 4apg
Doc did it in the ABA as well, the rest of the dudes you named are one way players that didn't win shyt and of them only Gervin was maybe viewed as a star and realistically he played the 2 in the NBA. I would cut Melo some slack if he were a good-great defender, but all he can do is score and nothing else, and you copping pleas for him? He's supposed to be a superstar, his usage rate is absolutely ridiculous for how few assists he gets.You're trying to paint it out as passing is some unique skill to just the all-time great SFs, nah fam, sorry but Melo ain't getting off that easy. With how much he has the ball he should be getting assists by sheer accident, but apparently setting up your teammates is only something the greatest SFs do? Please explain Hedo Turkoglu, Grant Hill, Gordon Hayward, Paul Pressey, Stephen Jackson, Tracy McGrady (Houston), Jamal Mashburn, Chris Mullin and Nicolas Batum averaging 5 or more apg in a season from the 3 spot. I mean, you got goddamn power forwards like Blake Griffin (THIS YEAR) and Antoine Walker who are better passers than this dude and yet again neither have the ball nearly as much as him.
He's a one dimensional player, enough with the excuses for his game, there's no reason he shouldn't be able to get 5apg when plenty of other players who have had the ball much much much less than him can do it.

Same back at you. You refused to give Melo credit for what he did with JR in Denver(in what you admitted was the tougher conference) buuuut credit LBJ for making JR a good player in the East. I'm not calling out Melo or LBJ. JR gonna play how he gonna play.So basically you had no point in relation to what I said?
Julius did it in the ABA though, and he averaged more than 4apg in the NBA, his usage rate wasn't even close to Melo's either :Chill1:
Forget LeBron, he's not even Tracy McGrady
The amount of excuses for Melo's putrid game is just 
to me. He's a player that doesn't defend, doesn't set up teammates......how is this dude getting passes?
I see people making all of these player lineups for the Knicks and assuming they would make the finals with said players. It doesn't matter who you put on the 2015-16 Knicks, this organization is so cultured in being losers nowadays. You put LBJ on the Knicks and he would find a way to lose in the first round, because its the loser a@@ Knicks.
*disclaimer-this does not take away from the fact that Melo is a loser

Change is inevitable...
JR himself said that the reason he didn't excel in NY was because of JR
And yet somehow...somehow nikkas still find a way to blame Melo????

Cavs win the chip, JR Smith'll be pawning that ring a year and a half later :mooneyha:
Damn you guys got me looking at stats. I cant believe marshmellow has never averaged 4 ast per game in a season 
even durant surpassed that his last three years.
