There are three Melos — Olympic Melo, Hoodie Melo, and the genuine article, Carmelo Kyam Anthony, from Baltimore, Maryland, by way of Red Hook, Brooklyn. The existence of the first two Melos is a fascinating development. It is a tacit admission of our collective disappointment with an elite player, who was never as elite or cool as he, or we, wanted him to be.
Olympic Melo is an icon, the perfect scoring wing for the modern game. He’s the all-time leading scorer in United States Olympic basketball history and a four-time Olympian, winner of three gold medals. He’s a devastatingly efficient small-ball player: too slippery for big men to find, too burly for guards to grapple with. Team USA coach Mike “Molder of Men” Krzyzewski has often played him at the 5. Olympic Melo is a spot-up specialist who, after a chain of passes from the greatest players in the world, sticks the dagger in the heart of zone defenses.
...Olympic Melo is a champion. Hoodie Melo is a trendsetter. Now Carmelo is just the guy who’s fucking up the Thunder.

I member lol.
Anyway, with all this nonsense arbitrary stat posts up again, I expect the next round of JimmiC vs. JJ debate happening soon, to be followed by JJ going into hiding once again.

I do, one prognosticator evem firmly believed the heat would win over 50 games and be a top team in the east!
did i? i thought i said if Waiters doesn't get his ankle fixed and if Dragic plays in another big European summer tourney they won't win anything. Please examine my comments on the hard minutes the Eurobasket MVP played all summer. He carried upper Boldovia, a team with almost no chance to win... to a miracle tourney win.. .and he is paying for it now.
by hiding, I mean: you furiously respond a second after each and every reply to you, with all useless and irrelevant incomplete stats that you barely understand, and when you get challenged on it, BAM, Houdini ain't got nothin on you! I could list all the times this has happened, but I don't want to waste my time. I PMed you already about this because I don't want to make fun of you and wanted to be direct with you, but since you are so excited to embarrass yourself and reveal your ignorance everytime you get into,these debates, please go ahead.
