Paul Pierce was the better all around player PERIOD. Melo was just a household name. Pierce was a much better defender and playmaker and at that time a better 3 point shooter.
Pierce was the better all around player, yes. But that doesnt mean you have to disparage another player. Carmelo is an all time great, period. We dont need an adendum like, "All time great scorer." Carmelo Anthony was a great player period. We could make comparisons all day. For example, Gary Payton is the better all around player compared to Allen Iverson. Iverson was just a household name. Lets not do that.
@@mkadozaPrecisely he also downplay those aspects of Melo game that he says pierce is better in. They always have to over compare. This was great duel between two great players
@@FireAngelChris Carmelo was a better midrange scorer, better rebounder, especially offensively, a better finisher at the basket, and a better ball handler. We can appreciate every player for their skills.
Anthony was averaging 28.9, 6 rebounds and 3.8 assist while shooting 27% from three and 80% from the line Paul was averaging 25 points, 6 rebounds and 4.1 assist, shooting 39% from three and also 80% from the line
@@officialexe9587 idk bro he had a very solid team with nuggets and super team knicks that flopped ans they were young, paul pierce made it count when it matters lol
@@officialexe9587 that's Carmelo's fault , cause kg Allen pierce were ogs by then , agreed they had a squad , but what happened when they tried to mold the knicks around melo with young talent ? He flopped , I think Pierce was a leader . Don't get me wrong I like melo , that Celtics team was one of a kind
Tommy Heinsohn perfectly encapsulated early years Melo’s offensive game with two words. “That’s nifty”
Prime dudes it so amazing✋
i got the truth🔥🔥
U want The Truth u can't Handle The Truth
hahaha look at that starting line up. Back then none of us had any idea that the very next year we would have one of the best teams of all time

@deez8686he’s not a casual, Jayson Tatum is no where near prime Melo
Denver has the better player but more on isolation play for carmelo while celtics has a good chemistry
Ppl forget Carmelo was actually a beast back then
No one forgets that
Duel
truth is the adam sandler of the nba, he's clowning but he knows he is the real deal
Melo owned him💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯💯💯
Al harrington was skinny ass hell
Carmelo worst defender ever
