Soooo

Kobe 25 ppg career over 15 seasons
Melo 25 ppg career over 8 seasons
Kobe 1.5 steals Melo 1.3 steals
Kobe 45 pct shooter Melo 46 percent shooter
Equal from three but Melo is improving as he showed shooting well over his percentage once he came to the knicks.


Now if you could take the best of the best from each players career and put them in a playoff series


Iverson
Billups
Melo
Nene
Camby

They would probably win 55-60 games right

pretty sick squad right ???

Or

Nick Vanexel
Kobe Bryant
Lamar Odom
Pau Gasol
Shaquille Oneal

they would probably win 73 games.



In essence

Melo at 26

has another good 7-8 seasons left to not only finally play with other real stars for once

but also surpass what most consider the best player of this generation.







If you want to argue go for it.

but I think I made mine.
