Yeah one bad series, tons of people have had those on defense. However he was unstoppable on Offense

As it is right now he's the best scorer in the game and the second best player in general. He can only get better. He dominated the entire 2012 Playoffs

:russ: at second best player. What part of his game is elite besides his scoring? Being likable?

I've been saying that :shaq2: the guy is frail defensively yet melo gets killed ? His team just surrounded him with a bunch of good defensive pieces so he's allowed to slack

Breh you don't wanna do this...this AIN'T what you want this thread to turn into :whoa:

Hes had one bad series defensively ??? So are you saying he usually put out a above average defensive effort?? I saw bron stop him when he had too ... But kd was on chalmers in crunch time . His lack of a post game doesn't bother you either ? You love his drive only to get fouled offense ?
His defense on Kobe in the 4th of games 2,4,5 last year was critical.

That's more an anomaly isn't it ?

Almost 7 foot player playing (out of position) on the perimeter with a 20.4% DRR is hard to hold accountable. what he does suck at is his laziness when contesting perimeter shots he needs to be held accountable for that. his interior defense is great.

Who's better them KD?:comeon:

He's an elite rebounder and averages 4 APG despite playing primarily off the ball and with one of the most ball dominant players in the league in westbrook

And he's been DOMINANT in the playoffs. Last year

28.5 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 3.7 apg, 1.2 bpg, 1.5 spg, 63.2% TS(51%/37%/86%)

Hes the Most efficient regular season and PS Scorer in history

Where are these other bad series he's had defensively that cost his team?

There both not great defensive players :whoo: kd just gets a pass for it

Breh KD ain't a great defender, but he's still >>> Melo. I'd say KD is an average defender, but Melo's below average on defense on a GOOD day. KD gets a "pass" b/c he's having a historic season & is poised to take OKC back to the Finals

BTW, KD is >>>> Melo in every statistical category. Don't make me bring them numbers out :whoo:
