Why does CP3 continue to get a pass, but Melo gets fried on the regular?

[BlackFeet]

HE WAS JUST FAVORED TO BEAT THE GRIZZLIES,
AND LOST WITH HOME COURT ADVANTAGE.​

you saved me a post breh, was reading that and thinking...um...2 months ago?

How were they realistically expected to win when the focal point of their offense, the lynchpin of Chris Paul's pick-and-roll game, and Randolph's match-up (the guy that went loose after his injury) was hurt?

Chris produces and Melo is a notable underachiever. He is given super status by some when there are arguably 10 players better than him every year he's been in the league. Dude is overrated.

 

[BlackFeet]

get this hollinger/espn-approved bullshyt outta here.

But does the shoe not fit tho? As far as individual talent, and PG prowess, is Chris Paul not pound-for-pound @ the cream of the crop?

You've got people calling CP3 arguably the GOAT pg, yet he's never made it past the 2nd round. How is he not an underachiever?

Teammates? You aren't going anywhere if your teammates don't show up.

Chris probably had the GOAT peak for any PG ever, but that was 5 years ago. After his knee injury he isn't on that level anymore.

If that was Rose.....

he would be getting eaten alive on here

I check you in every thread about this. Overrated by who?

Chris Paul considered better by damn near everyone.

Melo had his best year ever this year and was ranked 9th this year, what are you talking about.


Melo is ranked fine, cut that bullshyt out.

Don't act like there aren't people out that think Melo isn't a superstar player.

 

[BlackFeet]

Melo had his best year ever this year

'08 Anthony averaged 29-7-3-1-0.5 on 49-35-79
He's yet to match that efficiency since

 

[who_better_than_me]

Perimeter players/scorers always get judge harsher than other positions in the Nba

This again what constitutes a superstar ? And if your reasoning isn't something about rings your just a hater because I don't want to hear how cp3 or kd can win rings and Melo can't . Also keep that stat nonsense out of here

 

[Wacky D]

because white people don't like melo.

Top 5 player = Superstar

Melo isn't that and will never be that.
