In the MidWest Carmello faces THE TOUGHEST COMPETITION THE NBA HAS TO OFFER AT THIS POINT. Just as he did w/ the CUSE, he is supplying the demand.
I dont care what you say..LeBron indeed has more potential but Carmello is pulling more weight. The East is weak and if LeBron's impact was all that you say...Booz, Z, and 'Bron should be rocking the East. @ this point Lebron CANT SHOOT. Like other superstars he needs time as I noted many times in this thread.
Melo's squad has a winning record in the winning-est division in the NBA. He does not have the ball in his hands as much as LeBron. He shares shotes w/ Miller, Barry, Leonard and Nene.....yet still manages to get his average....and PICK UP THE PHONE WHEN HIS TEAM CALLS FOR HIS HELP.
We are not talking in five years we are talking NOW....MELO over LeBron. Also..who knows how much more Melo will improve.
PS...LeBron went to a local school and dominated five footers while Melo played @ Oak Hill against the NATIONS BEST. If Melo was able to play at his local school he would have probably dominated as much as Lebron.
Dont be star struck guys..tell the truth!

Best response in this thread. The haters only want to bag on Melo's abilities, when 90% of them have never seen Melo play, or pay attention to what he's done/doing.
And your right, Lebron is a horrible, horrible shooter, 2 air balls from less then 15foot against the Lakers, 9-25 on shooting. And it's not like he's taking guys to the hole every shot and getting free throws.
As far as impact, who cares? Both proven they can get it done, 2 different players. Carmelo has to get open and does far more work without the ball. Lebron handles the rock, plays poor defense, turns the ball over alot, but manages to put up 25 shots a game and 20+ points, and some incredible passes. At this stage, In a big game, I'd take Carmelo, in a few years, when James learns to take it the hole, his jumper is better, and when he figures out defense is somthing you need to be able to do in the NBA, I think he'll be leaps and bounds better then Melo.
I always think Melo's ability to create for himself will be get better and better... Somthing Lebron doesn't do real well, except with fade away airballs.
Give it time, he's a rookie, he's learning, and I think in the long run, Rebounds/assists and the ability to score, James will be a megastar, much bigger then he already is.
As far as Melo sharing shots, I'll call BS on that all day. The entire starting 5 averages double-digit scoring for the Cavs. How many shots you think Lebron shares?
