Paul George now is better than Carmelo ever was

[dunkman6]

Not really.

Melo: Great offensive player, average defender
PG: Very good offensive player, elite defender

PG>>>>Melo

He has better defense that's it.

I'm willing to say that PG is a better offensive player than Carmelo ever was.
Carmelo hasn't become what a lot of us thought he would.

THAT'S HALF OF THE GAME! There's no "that's it" in that scenario.

Just cause he's better defensively doesn't mean he's the better player. Dwight is better defensively but I'll take LMA over him. I know how important defense is but it's not the deal breaker in this situation.

Of course it is. Melo's only slightly better on offense, but PG is vastly better on defense. Advantage Paul.

Easily. Carmelo's game is too one dimensional.

You sound like one of the those dumbass nikkas that would have taken Iverson and Carter over Kobe in the early 2000's.

In 2000 Kobe's main advantage over Iverson and Carter was he smarter, a better playmaker and a much better defender. But you just get caught up in offensive numbers and ignore the little important things that help win games.

You say that as if AI and T-Mac weren't top 5 players in the early 000's . sm--play-- blah blah propaganda. Nobody talking about these guys. We talking bout PG and Melo.

Stop bringing him up in every single thread when nobody is talking about him.

I understand defense is very important but PG isn't better than Melo.

 

[GreatestLaker]

Your cherry picking picking numbers a what 25 game stretch.

I can take a 25 game stretch and Melo would be putting 30 8 and 5 on 55% shooting. Melo has shot better than Paul gorge last year from the field and from three with good defense, shyt I could probably do it from the last month and a half from last year.

You came in here talking about how PG is playing better than Melo ever has. When it's not true Melo has had stretches of better play than this.

It's 50 + games left in the season. Players go cold players get hot.

You wait til the end of the season to say shyt like this not 25 games into the season.

Nope. When you include defense, decision making and overall effectiveness Melo has never played this well, but I'll bump this thread at the end of the year.

If you put a 19 year old PG on the 04 nuggets i guarantee you they don't make the palyoffs.

What exactly does this have this have to do with what I said?

Who said anything about T-Mac?

Iverson wasn't a top 5 player either.

Stop bringing him up in every thread? The same advantages that George has over Melo that makes him the better player. Kobe had over Iverson and Carter in the early 2000's. I didn't bring it up out of nowhere.

If you seriously believe that never quote me again.
