Having better defense doesn't automatically make you a better player
And if it wasnt' for those 10 games, while Melo and Amare where injured, they wouldn't have made the playoffs. The team had it's best, season saving stretch when it's two best players were out. No matter how serendipitous it was, it doesn't reflect well on them, period.
It's almost kinda goofy to compare the two because of the age difference. If I'm starting a team right now I'm taking Kahwi over almost anyone else in the league short of Steph, KD, and maybe Young Sabo.
If we're talking overall career Melo is better. Kawhi doesn't have the sample size of being the primary dude for years like Melo was in Denver and NY. He's been doing it for the past month or so, but we gotta see what goes down in the playoffs again and maybe the next few years. I think folks are forgetting how good Melo was at Denver. He just never really had a shot at beating the lakers or spurs back then. The West was ridiculous back then. It took Dirk to become an act of God to beat both of those squads and get a ship

shooting more doesn't make you a better scorer.....
Shooting less doesn't either
Why people keep talking about Melo in the West like he ain't been in the east for 6 years?
2 years ago...i would have pretty much been
But they are running the offense thru the man![]()
better FG %, better 3pt %, better at the line too. hr's EASILY more efficient than Melo.

Shawn Marion >>>>T MAC.................
