You can tell who has only been watching Melo post-Denver. I like how people are saying the '02 East was weak as hell like the '13 East is not? Only Miami is a legitimate title contender.
lol yet the Knicks have beat the west contenders ( except clippers ) and beat the heat while the thunder and spurs can't
No one ever said that. Melo isn't the best scorer in the NBA either.

Lebron and Durant are better. Melo didn't even separate himself from a 34 year old Kobe as a scorer.
Yes people have been saying Melo is the best scorer for years now just because you don't agree since your a Kobe Stan .
He was the leading scorer how didn't he?? And Melo can score on and beat Lebron . Something Kobe can't do :russ:

Forget 2008

If We're saying 2002 is Pierce's peak, and matching it up to Melo right now I don't see how you can say Pierce is better. It's is close:ehh:

Pierce wasn't on a 50 win team until KG and Allen came to town, and the East was fukking horrible during his prime, back when the Nets & Pistons could lead the conference with 50 wins.

If Pierce was such an overwhelming talent like that his teams should have been better.
Pierce wasn't an overwhelming talent, but neither is Melo. Pierce was always surrounded by D-league talent. The one year he any sort of help the Celtics won 49 games.

Melo this year has been an overwhelming talent, the East is better now than it was during Pierce's prime.

And at certain points this year the Knicks have had D-league talent all over the floor.

Being the leading scorer doesn't mean shyt. Iverson was leading the league in scoring for multiple years and he wasn't a better scorer than Kobe. Leading the league in scoring proves nothing without proper context.

Bron >>>> Melo as a scorer

Durant >>>> Melo as a scorer

Only a fool would disagree.

:snoop: I swear you nikka's suffer fro revisionistism(yea I made that up) Pierce played in a WEAK eastern conference in those years prior to the big 3 arriving. Couldn't consistently keep his team above 500 yet y'all are in here chastising Melo for getting beat out of the playoffs by teams that went to the finals? Only bad playoff loss for Melo IMO was against the Clippers. I'd take Melo over Pierce and it doesn't even require a second though.

How the fukk can you lead the league in scoring avg 25 a game for a 10 year period, be a top 10 player, be called the best scorer in the league by damn near every fukking analyst, coach, gm and not be a overwhelming talent. Twilight Zone up here.

For the record piru p is a way better playmaker, and slightly better defender.

Melo is a better scorer.....fukk some numbers you can see it with your own eyes.

Prime Paul Pierce wasn't selected to a single Olympic team, yet The Coli revisionist historians have it that he was easily better than Melo who's been a key team USA player for close to a decade.
