^ Lol chill.. Lebron has been the best player on team USA so far
Lebrons lebron loll. Im talking about NBA season and unno melos probably been second to bron thus far. And we all know as the tourney gets deeper melo gets better
I love Melo
He'll never win MVP
You guys realize and honestly god forbid this but if the plane carrying our USA team crashed, the NBA would be a 100% differently place.
Its just amazing to think how one event could drastically change something.
I could actually see Melo getting MVP and DPOY next year
I say if Melo limits Lebron to single digits in points and 0 assists and rebounds, he gets an automatic bid for defensive player of the year. Matter fact, if anyone does that I'll give it to them.
Damnation. Melo was a downtown wrecking ball in the first half. Just deadly. His D was solid, his spacing refined, and he showed just how perfectly moulded he is to the world version of basketball.
LeBron James is phenomenal. He's a morphing virtuoso - PG, SG, SF, PF, C - all in a single transition, and plays every role flawlessly. As a Knick fan, I can't stand him. As a fan of the game, he's uncanny to watch.
Tyson had a forgettable outing, but his first foul was BS. Refs were overbearing in that first half, and wound down in to sloppy non-calls.
I'm having to route for USA with Melo and Tyson on board, because there's naturally zero available footage of my beloved home team, Australia. We'll give it a run this year, and hopefully finish top 5. Bogut, as always, is out due to vaginaitis. Still, we do well for a country whose population is only 1.6(ish) million people more than metropolitan New York.
And Eddy Curry most improved...
I'm stoked that Melo is on Team USA as I think he will come into the season full bore ready to go. I'm not so sure Chandler should be out there, however. With his injury history and how much we have invested in him I'd rather see him and STAT working out in a low risk to injury kind of way...
If Carmelo gives us
25ppg
8rpg
4apg
50%-40%-80%
25+PER
Consistent Defense
50+ wins
Then he'll likely be top 5 in MVP voting, at least All-NBA second team, maybe get a few All-Defensive team votes, definite All-Star and we'll likely get to at least the ECF
I'd LOL if Amare had an MVP type season for us instead of Melo
As long as we win next year I don't care if it's Steve Novak who gets MVP.
