I’ll humor this

I said in 2011 that Carmelo was a better scorer than KD

However historically, KD >>>

If melo was a better scorer overall his career wouldn’t have fell off a cliff at age 34

That's a causal fan take lol, you don't know ball, you know it but you know from a lens to where you can name all the players on a roster that's on a bad team, you a numbers guy, and you try and see how they play when on the court, I don't think you know it from an IQ lens, or a talent/person's in their prime position.

Melo can score in any realm, back door, pins, flares, post, middy, iso, crosscuts, 3s, etc. You know who else can do this? Mitch Richmond in Sac,

You talking about the man is behind KD because his team wanted to go into a different direction and that forced him to be a journeyman lol

Bad take, Lebron is the best because he played longer than MJ ass nigga smh

Yea, I see what type of fan YOU are.

We good brotha.
 
And let me say, it's not a slight on you Beta, It's not even me trying to 1 up you, it's just we look at the game differently

You think Kyrie is better than Gil, I don't. I seen how Gil played in his prime and what he did, I also watched Kyrie in his prime also. I just look at Gil's game when he was in his prime different during that timeframe vs Kyrie.

Not taking anything away from Kyrie, a great player, I just got Gil (in his prime) vs (Cleveland Kyrie) out of 7 games, Gil would likely drop 40 on that boy head in all 7 games, where you may get maybe 2 30 point games from Kyrie.

Plus Gil played with a limited talent vs Kyrie in his prime. Put Kyrie on that Wizard team and he's not better than Gil on the Wizards team, imo

If Carmelo was a better scorer he would’ve started more than 66 games the final 4 years of his career and not been relegated to playing like Harrison Barnes or a slower less athletic Tobias Harris

I don't know, but I wouldn't put it pass these owners/GM to think like that.

I've learned a lot of things from watching Gil show, he really let you know how these GMs/Owners think

He spoke on how you could have in your contract incentives and have to play a certain amount of minutes to get x money, a coach would get the call/word from the GM/owner, hey, don't play such and such over this time.

Gil has spoken on players taking paycuts but the owners, giving them money that's off the books, free private plane miles, land, etc. Folks (prolly you) just realizing that the whole ordeal with Kawhi and the owner is something new, when the shit has always been the case with owners and their players lol.

But folks who and up on it, would think the Clipper owner is doing something new, when this shit been going on, they just got caught up doing too much.

Roles change brotha.

Didn't they ask A.I. to come off the bench in Memphis?

GMs/ want to play their guys. If you're a GM and you're drafting players, you have to develop them or want to see them develop, you have a job to do as well.

Moving Melo wasn't because he couldn't put the basketball into the goal? This is what you think?

Gilbert arenas is a top 200 player all time

Off the dome probably like in the 160s

He don’t deserve all this talk I promise you

I can go with that, it's not a diss lol

Top 50- 75 was who again? and you got 125 players ahead of him who was left out of that Top 50- 75 players list ahead of him

He don't deserve it because you wasn't watching Gil when he was becoming Gil, you don't understand his game lol All you prolly know is he put 60 on Kobe and the Lakers and how he tore a new ass into that 2006 Dream Team and then they sent his ass home.

You don't know that dude's game to even be trying to downplay it in the way that you are lol But I get, you started watching basketball and really locking in, in 2008 ECF, so you really can't get a grasp on the time before 2008.

You talking about moving Melo I’m talking about teams employing him and the role he’s put in on those teams

Nigga turned into a role player off the bench who could only score one way because how he always played was inefficient as hell and detrimental

KD will never come off the bench in his career

Thanks for accepting that since Kyrie was on the top 75 team until the Jewish shit made him get replaced

Thanks for acknowledging it

Also idk why you keep saying I started watching in 2008

False narrative ass nigga
