White Chocolate Just Compared Carmello Anthony to Stockton and Malone

One player isn't better than another simply because one won more rings. That's like Kenny Smith claiming he's better than Payton on Inside the NBA because he won 2 rings.

Yes, not for all players. Some players simply got unlucky and didn't win.

Then there are players who play style doesnt allow them to win it all. That is what Carmello is, which is why I feel it's blasphemous to compare the failings of Stockton and Malone to Anthony's. They are completely different.
 
Cy said Draymond is better than Carmelo because he has a ring. That's how this started.

/thread
 
How is this comparing Carmelo to them? My post says nothing about that. Just said Draymond was better because he has a ring. Like Cy said.

Our conversation was about Melo and Green then you brought up Stockton and Malone to make a comparison Perma-ban.
 
Reminds me of a time when I made a thread about NAOS and having Rudy's head on a girls body in his signature.



I wonder how this thread will be received.
 
Contextual. If you're building a team, Melo is a better player to build around than Draymond, no arguments. Draymond would have anemic percentages as a first option.

If you have elite scoring, and playmaking options already set in stone, Draymond is the far-superior 3rd fiddle who does everything you ask him to do, and fits better with scorers.

This ain't rocket science, morons.

I agree with this 100%.

lololololololol

The first player you get doesnt have to be your first option. If a draft is happening and Im asked to choose between Carmello or Green as my first pick, I'm taking Green 1st and looking for a scorer with my next pick.

Dala and that bball iq.

even if you did that, you are admitting to not building around Draymond. You point-blank said you'd choose a 'scorer' with your next pick, which is fine-- Draymond really is elite in terms of 3rd fiddles out there, whereas there's relatively more efficient scorers out there.


What's really funny here is that you 'lol' and u bring up the bball IQ, but then your argument doesn't actually discredit Melo being the better first option to build a team around. Melo as a team's star > Draymond.

Either way, this conversation is pointless-- as if Cyrone freaking Torbin will acknowledge any flaw in a team he assembled for a fantasy draft.

Only novices talk so definitely about options.

I'm taking the best player. If the only options are Green or Melo, I'm taking Green. I'll figure out how to score later. Defense is just as important as offense. You can build a team around defense.
 
If Draymond Green went to Philly right now, they wouldn't win 30 games. They would more games with Melo, any argument against this is rooted in a lack of intelligence or bias.

Again-- context.

If you already have Harden picked, then obviously you should pick Green-- no one is arguing that.

What you're doing is trying to equate this to comparing the two players in a vacuum. The criteria change when you do this-- something you simply can't acknowledge for some bizarre reason.

If the argument is add Melo or Green to any ****ty *** team and who would cause more wins, the answer is Melo.

Add Green or Melo to any semi-competently run team, Green is going to gain more wins.

Jazz would have won more games with Green than adding Melo.
