MELO on another level to bosh. melo was alone in NY and won 54 games and got to the second round 
Bosh in TOR won 3 Playoff games (his entire TOR career)

As bad as the Knicks are, Toronto was worst. The same Bargagani that the Knick fans hate was the 2nd option in Toronto.
People don't remember how bad those Toronto teams were.

True but melo was having forty point games in the postseason. Bosh was never carrying teams the same way melo has

Superstar
Exactly. So why would you pick Melo?Quick tell me what impact Melo has on a team playing winning basketball. Drawing a blank? Me too. Give me the quirky, 6'10 2 time NBA Champ over the shot chucking, teammate alienating "superstar" SF who has only been out the first round twice in his career.
You completely missed my point

I'm just here for the neg party 
Bosh was playing with TJ Ford, Joey Graham, Morris Peterson, and Baragani in his starting lineup. I'm sorry for not blaming Bosh for not being able to carry a lineup like that. Melo wouldn't be winning playoff games with those chumps either and you know it.
I watched those games, Bosh was getting double and tripled team in the high post because he's the ONLY person to create his own shot.
Like I said, I think Melo could do better as a first option but he's also a more flawed player than Bosh is and his flaws make it very hard to build a championship tier squad as a first or second option.
Bosh is the kinda player that makes things easier for everyone on a good squad and he doesn't need the ball in his hand to provide a big impact (Game 7 in the repeat championship) because he's such a good defender, an elite shooter, a smart player, and he's capable of big time performances if needed. He's also extremely clutch and he's willing to do anything for the betterment of the team.
Melo is a more talented player but I think what Bosh brings, overall, is worth more in today's NBA. I won't hate on anyone who wants Melo over Bosh but Bosh is one of the most disrespected players on this board because people didn't really watch him until he was the third option and had to sacrifice.
The team with Chauncey Billups, NeNe, Kenyon Martin, JR Smith, and Birdman?
That team is probably 20x better than anyone Bosh played with in Toronto. Every single one of those players is better than Bargagani who was Bosh's next best player?
Seriously, Bosh literally fits PERFECTLY on that team.

Melo took a team to wcf being the main guy, he has just been in a shytty position/team the past few years but you can't blame anyone else but him.

Well, this gonna be the first time I neg someone, had to happen one day 
Interesting battle of two of the most 
for athletes in the history of this board. 
Poor little Bosh who had to sacrifice to get a max deal and ride nikkas coattails to a couple championships minus any pressure or expectations on his behalf only to turn around and get another max deal minus of course any expectations or pressure on his behalf
And poor little Melo who has never had any teammates, outside of AI, Chauncey, STAT and a couple DPOY and a 6th man of the year..
I gotta take Bosh purely because he's shown me that he can take a backseat to a true superstar (which is gonna be necessary if you selected either guy) and contribute positively if the ball isn't in his hands.

Nah, that Denver team needed an elite scorer to go that far..and bruisers at the 4/5 to match up with Western bigs. They had a lot more talent than Toronto's teams but Melo raised his game under the highest stakes and carried them regardless.
Breh, Bosh is an elite scorer. He's not as good as Melo but Bosh was a 24 PPG on 59% TS and only getting better as a 25 year old in Toronto which is easily comparable with any of Melo's seasons during his stint with the Nuggets (Melo usually scored a couple points more but less efficient).
It's hard to remember but Bosh was that dude.
