Better player in their prime (or at their best so far): Kevin Durant or Carmelo Anthony

Actually he doesn't. Durant has 4 scoring titles. Id be suprised if Melo has more than 1.
Shit he may not have 1 at all
Durant has gotten to a finals, melo hasnt.
Duramt has more 1st team nba acknowledgements
Durant > Melo in any tangible way you wanna slice it. Silly thread

Nah. Thats like saying OKC wouldnt be in the playoffs if Carmelo was there. Durant on OKC and Carmelo on the Nuggets I'm sure have comparable regular season records and I'm sure the playoff success is pretty similar minus the year OKC had Harden. It's alot closer than people want to admit.

I remember after the 2008 Olympics, I came away thinking that Melo was the undisputable most dominant unstopable offensive player in the world.
That's a great data source to derive an assessment from.
A player from the US playing in the Olympics...
Amongst a collection of literally, the very best of the very best basketball players ... on the entire Earth.
I am going to go out on a limb and say that the comparatively non existent defensive of opposing teams (when he was actually being guarded), and an essentially never ending string of open shots provided by a crew of unselfish All Stars and Hall of Famers - may have inflated his statistics and elevated his play.
It was basically like him being in the gym chucking up shots by himself.
Compare him to Durant against actual NBA competition.
Do that and there really is no discussion.

Nash was a transcendent Point Gaurd; a Hall of Famer.
He is one of the handful of players in the 50/40/90 club.
Dude should have shot more - his PPG would have been through the roof.
He's a better player than Melo... They give out MVPs for a reason.

I'm a knicks fan and give major props to Melo but KD got this. KD the best SF in the league imo though.
