It actually is. If you are comparing two players, how is their impact not relevant? What do the Nuggets and Knicks have to show for having Melo as a number 1 option for the last 13 years? 3 playoff series wins. And contrary to popular narrative and plea, these teams have had talent. Kawhi has proven he can play different roles, beast on both ends, and most importantly play well and fit with other talent. People don't realize, that is actually more difficult than just being the man on a shytty team and getting all the shots.
If we're talking immediately right now it'd be insane for me to pick Melo over Kahwi. I'm not doubting the kid's versatility. I just want to see how he performs as the dude before I say career wise that he's better than Melo.
@ lamarcus being HOF at this point of his career
) has nothing to do with that huh 
right, like he understands the concept of moving the ball, look at Aldridge right now and how Pop has used him and how his numbers dropped.
ain't winning shyt either my nikka..
