Comparing Jordan to Melo like this....I know you dont think Melo is nearly as good as MJ, but still....saying Jordan wasn't elite in 88' and 89'? Lol damn. Jordan with 1 arm in 88 and 89 is better than Melo -- and pretty much anyone else in the league.
88'
32-8-8, .540 FG% and .850 from the line, along with 3stls.
89'
34-7-6, .530 FG%, 850 from the line, 3stls.
Also, during his 89' season when you could argue some of his stats dipped (lol), he also shot almost .380 from behind the arc.
Jordan, like Lebron, can legit carry a team into contending for a title. If you remove Jordan or Lebron from their teams (which happeend with CLE), looks what happens.
**** dude, Melo left Denver and probably more than half the DEN fans (and management, and coach) thought their chances of winning a title would improve. I know it's not all Melo's fault...but we need to be realistic -- Melo needs to adjust his **** some, before he can legit be treated like that type of franchise savior.
