NBA Mount Rushmore

[smoothg103rd]

My point was that Melo has never been to the Finals. Has he been to the 2nd round?

Yeah I know that was the point you were making. Melo been to the Western Conference Finals. And lost to the Lakers in six close games. I think the Lakers won the Championship that year too.

He made the conference finals...once.

He's actually a pretty horrible player. I'm not even sure if he's a top 25 NBA player today.

 

[smoothg103rd]

Keep chugging that Haterade, Smooth.

You don't like Lebron because he dunks, but you have Shaq on your Mount Rushmore... LOL

I didn't say I didn't like him because he dunks. I was just making the point that he is more efficient because he is closer to the rim. And Shaq was a MONSTER. By far best Center since the 90s.

He is top ten.

Shaq was the best center in the 90s? Sorry, going to have to disagree with that, too.

Why don't you take a look at the 1995 NBA finals? After that, come back here and tell me who the best center of the 90s was.

 

[GimpyIntellect]

Nah..

I said since the 90s, not in the 90s. And he wasn't the Disel then.

He is top ten.

I don't know. If everyone was healthy, in no particular order....

1. Lebron
2. Durant
3. Curry
4. Harden
5. C. Paul
6. Anthony Davis

That's 6 guys right there.

Lmao, Harden is better than Melo? Stop it. Another choke artist.

Who has been better over the past 2 seasons?

 

[smoothg103rd]

Who has been better over the past 2 seasons?

Melo been injured.

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

Melo been injured.

So, Harden's been better.

In no particular order, these guys are also better:

#7. Russell Westbrook
#8. Kyrie Irving
#9. Kevin Love
#10. LaMarcus Aldridge
#11. Damien Lilliard
#12. Blake Griffin
#13. DeMarcus Cousins
#14. John Wall
#15. Kawhi Leonard

There are many more, but I'm tired of typing.

Lmao Kevin Love? Did you watch him play this year? I agree on Cousins, he should be in your top ten. He is the best big man in the game. But the only player on your list that can compare to the type of player Melo is, is Russ.

I saw him, he just wasn't used to his best abilities.

Another guy way better: Marc Gasol.

Dirk and Duncan have had better careers, but they're older now. Same with Tony Parker and Kobe. Derrick Rose is better if healthy. There are so many guys. Carmelo is just too one-dimensional.

Maybe I'm a little bias. But I followed Melo since High School, since he won a National Championship at Syracuse. And I know the type of player he is, and the type he should have been. He was so much better than LeBron their rookie year. So much better. He just got lazy and that bitch La La fucked his head up. But check him out, his rookie year.

I skipped a couple of pages, so forgive me.

First off, a b-ball Mount Rushmore should be bumped to five.

Secondly, you can do it your way, but your likes/dislikes shouldn't count., just the stats and such...by all standards, and everybody at ESPN saying LBJ is the best player in the game, he is! And for you to discount him because you don't like the way he went to Miami is just silly.

I didn't say I dislike only because he went to Miami. That's one of the reasons, but their are many others. I listed them.

Putting Carmelo in the same conversation with Chamberlain is so stupid that it won't compute. It shows how little you know or even care to consider. But then you're a made up alt so I won't go too far with this nonsense.

You still on this alt shit? It's been proven I'm not. Plus I never compared to two or put them in the same conversation. Quote me, pussy.

Top 4 is tough. The only one I'm certain of is Jordan. I guess I would put Magic and Bird up there. But then? I'm not sure I could pick between Kareem, Robertson, or Russell.

My heart says Kareem because I watched him play for at least part of his career, whereas Robertson and Russell were before my time. But then you have to consider Russell's titles and championship play, and Robertson being the only player to average a triple double in a season. Think about that: 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 11.4 assists per game in 61-62 and career averages of 25.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 9.5 assists per game in his career.

Maybe my Mount Rushmore has 7? Heh.

Couldn't help but notice you have two guys from my home state potentially in your top four, Bird and Robertson. Both guys could definitely play the game.

How about imagining a team starting lineup of a young and healthy Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, and Oscar Robertson? I've seen all those guys play on TV many times, and when they were at their peak, they were all awesome players.

 

[rimmy]

Meadowlark Lemon
Sweet Lou Dunbar
Curly Neil
Hubert "Geese" Ausbie

I saw them play once at the old Montreal Forum when I was a kid. Curly Neal was a god to me.
