And all of this was revealed yesterday? :heh: The only things that have changed from when I posted that is his all-around offensive game isn't that good. Everything is still stands true. I never said he was better than Melo. I was responding the to people acting like it was insane to make the comparison and copping pleas for Melo.
I just didn't bother posting and have LONG said this about Paul.

You never said he was better than Melo yet dedicated to bash Melo and overrate George in a Melo or George thread.

:childplease:

Did I bash or did I call shyt how it was? I never said anything to or about you until you quoted me. I am talking about all these other cats who were silent for months but now after one game run to their computers to quote me. :heh: I have never said he was better...I said the Knicks would be better off with him and clearly stated why (greater financial flexibility).

Paul George is still better. PG24 is an athletic defender, who can score and pass. The best part of his game is his perimeter defense, which he is the best in the league at. I don't know why you guys keep underrating defense and overvaluing volume scoring. I'll take the 2-way player who is an elite defender, but isn't consistent on the offensive end over a volume scorer, who is a lazy defender and a ballstopper every single time.

Paul George isn't the top 5 player I thought he was. I'll give y'all that.

You been all though the melo vs George Paul threads writing novels talm bout how better PG is


No it's not after one game. Pg been playing shytty since December yet you wanna argue with everyone and their mother about this when their is almost a decade of proof of why melo is so much better.

:heh: You would be a shytty GM if you were to build a franchise around Paul rather than melo


Take your L and:camby:GTFO

No GM in the league would take a 30 year old Melo over a 23 year old Paul George. PG will get better. I think you are forgetting this is his first year as the first option.

Have I really? Please posts those quotes and I will gladly take my L.

What good has building a franchise around Melo done the last 11 years? I'll take the versatile 23 yr old who makes 3 mil and is only gonna get better and all of the financial freedom that comes with him over the guy who is what he is at this point and really only impacts one side of the ball and makes damn near $20 mil more and you had to get rid off all of you freedom and flexibility for.

He isn't better. The only thing he's better at is as a defender. Everything with Paul is about his jumper. His ball to the floor game is mad suspect.

Better to admit your were wrong. You were wrong when you made the thread. You were wrong before last nights game. And you're wrong now. Dudes just pointing it out because you were very adamant about something that everyone else understood as completely ludicrous.

All that other shyt about Melo not making the Finals or not winning in the playoffs is 100% irrelevant.

I think someone actually broke down how that whole "Melo not getting to the Finals" thing is overblown nonsense when you consider the teams he was up against in the West.

You aren't winning a ring with either player as your lead guy, but what Paul George brings to the table is more valuable. Its somewhat like the Iverson vs Kobe debate in 2000. Iverson was arguably the better offensive player, but Kobe's huge advantage on defense and all around game made him more valuable. Its not like PG is an awful offensive player either. He is sill averaging 22.2 points and 3.5 assists for the season. His defense more than makes up for his inconsistent scoring.

I don't think he brings more to the table honestly. He's not great at any particular thing while Melo can be great at times offensively. He doesn't have a plan B and isn't very assertive when his jumper is off.

What is it with Laker fans being some of the biggest Melo haters :heh: ? It's like they try to discredit any guy who can possibly be in the convo with Kobe.

When was Melo ever in the same convo with Kobe? :wtf: No one ever compares them. Melo obviously isn't in that tier.

Lebron and Durant are the only current threats to Kobe's legacy in the league and do you ever see me "hating" on them? :dahell:

I don't overrate Melo's volume scoring like several of you do on here. Has nothing to do with Kobe. Melo was never a threat. He isn't even a threat to Durant.

You Knick fans are so delusional.

Your posts have been harping on the same angle and agenda for years. You're not to be taken seriously when events on the court don't change your opinion. Melo's a better scorer than George, a better rebounder, its a wash on passing, a better shooter, and you're still in here repeating the same sh1t you said at the beginning of the year.

Pathetic :mjlol:
