2012-13 Carmelo Anthony Player Performance and News Thread

[KingStarbury3]

Why are they acting like Dwights been up there with Bron, Durant, and Melo? Kobe Bryant would be a better fit...I mean Dwights been good but I think Bron, Durant, Melo and Kobe have all made a bigger impact for their teams.

In my opinion its hard to argue that anyones better then Lebron at this point. Melo's been great though, Novak is a very intelligent guy and i think he just really appreciates having guys on the team that help him get open and hit 3's. He probably never thought he'd have the contract he has now

Durant and James are better than Melo, but defintely Howard isn't.

[Sage]

If Melo continues to play like he has and the Knicks are a top seed and likely to make a deep run, he should absolutely be in the conversation.

However as MVP voting is more on reputation, team performance and popularity than actually stats (I'm not saying they don't count, but it's not a mathematical system for MVP, it's a vote), Melo will probably finish 3rd behind Lebron and Durrant.

Most valuable player and Best Player in NBA are not synonymous

Melo is one by not the other,just like Rose was one but not the other when he got MVP

Best Player in The League is Lebron and will be for a while moving forward(like him or not)

Melo is the Most Valuable player to his team so far this season, if he sustains this level of play and we keep winning he'll end the season as MVP(let's see if they actually give a Knick that award!)


In terms of order of best....all I'll say is he is sure as heck better than ESPN's 21st ranking!

Keep killing them Melo

LeBron
Carmelo/Durant
Durant/Carmelo

top 3 players in the league, Durant/Carmelo is debatable depending on who you ask I say 60/40 Durant

LeBron might as well win MVP every year then.

However thats not the case. But I'll trade season MVP for a Finals MVP

[Munchen13]

Why is novak spanking carmelo? thats just not right

[Rob Low]

I think Melo is the MVP so far and he's better than Durant and Howard. He's the second best player in the league right now after Lebron in my opinion

Anthony helped lead the Knicks to a 3-1 mark, averaging a league-best 29.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks. Anthony scored over 30 points in two contests. In New York’s 106-99 home victory over the Phoenix Suns on Dec. 2, Anthony scored a game-high 34 points, and added six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal.

Well deserved! They're some amazing numbers, Melo.

Anything to say about that, Kiyaman?

Metro. Please keep headline threads active for at least a week. We're talking about bringing posters in from other sites, and having no headline threads makes us look sloppy.

This'll start its own conversation and then it can be thrown in to the pile.

The news and opinion threads look good because they have 400+ replies, but if we leave singular threads as headline topics they'll get more replies and won't be missed out on. Keep the opportunity to get discussion circulating as much as possible. Then, after the thread has lost its pace, I will personally put it in the Melo thread. It can only add more posts to the Melo thread itself, and thus make the thread and the site seem more active.

Carmelo is doing things that dont show up on the stat sheet. While LBJ is filling the stat sheet and Durant is the advanced metrics leader in everything Carmelo is doing his talking on the court and thats what MVP's do, I dont need advanced stats to tell me he's a top 5 player and potential league MVP.

repped.

Melo won MVP 3 times in my association mode on 2K.
