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

Melo is unfairly hated. Melo is like 6 months older than LeBron. But last summer Melo was over the hill. LeBron was still "young". Melo should've won ROY over LeBron. LeBron has played in the shytty east his entire career. Melo was leading his teams to the playoffs out west, while LeBron was missing the playoffs every time Jeff McInnis got hurt.

Missing the playoffs as a teenager isn't exactly a major indictment on a player, but losing in the first round every year and winning 3 total series in your career is. Didn't Anthony miss the playoffs the last two seasons too?

First time in his career.

LeBron was a teenager for only one playoff miss.

probably not as early as he's gotten it but his shortcomings would still catch up with him eventually and he'd still end up getting "hated" for the same reasons as he does now.
