Would Melo get as much hate as he does if he didn't come up with LeBron?

I honestly don't think he would :manny:


I mean, almost every time people go to scrutinize him they bring up Bron, or talk about how LeBro does this, or Bron does that, or something involving Bron.


If it wasn't for Bron I really doubt dude would be catching as much shyt as he does. :yeshrug:

I don't think he would. His lack of playmaking abilities would be questioned, but there's no doubt, alot of the criticism has to do with Melo coming out of the same draft with a 6'9 triple-double machine. I know others are gonna make the argument, that irregardless if LBJ was in the league or not, that Melo's game still look bad in comparison to past SF's who could play were great playmakers/point-forwards. But you can't deny that Melo would be regarded as the preeminent SF in the league(behind KD of course), if there was no LBJ. Yeah, you got a Kawhi, PG-13, but honestly, who else besides KD would you put above Melo? I guess maybe Kawhi, because of his defensive capabilities.

Maybe if he wasn't so fat and out of shape for lost of his career he wouldn't get as criticized
