NBA, Cleveland Cavaliers, Denver Nuggets, LeBron James , Carmelo Anthony

The epic battle between Carmelo Anthony and Lebron James has gone back and forth, and started when Melo was a scrappy short haired buck at Oak Hill, and Lebron a long hair high-flyer at St.Mary's.

No its not the other way around.

Carmelo's journey began at a Catholic School in Baltimore, Maryland where he was a instant star. During his senior year in High School, Anthony transferred to Oak Hill Academy where he became a McDonald's All American and a Parade All American.

From there he went on to Syracuse and led the Orange to a National Championship as a freshman. 

In the 2003 NBA Draft, Melo was selected by the Denver Nuggets with the 3rd overall pick.

So far, Carmelo Anthony has led the Nuggets to 5 playoff appearances in 5 years as a Pro.

Lebron James was a 2 Sport, All State Athlete Basketball and Football at St.Mary St.Vincent and led the Irish to 3 consecutive National Championships.

James was selected with the #1 pick in the 2003 NBA Draft.

So far, Lebron has led the Cavaliers to 3 playoff appearances.

  1. Good job with bringing up the stats. I think LeBron is better, Carmelo is a great player and deserves to be a perennial All-Star player, but LeBron is a special talent.

  2. I could care less about the endorsements or the awards. LeBron's showed the ability to elevate his game and his teammates to supreme levels when faced with the rigorous challenges of the postseason.

    Melo has failed spectacularly in the postseason four out of his five seasons in the league. Hands down LeBron.

    Plus, while 'Melo has a much better jumper, a better post game, and is better passing out of the post, LeBron is the best penetrator and the best finisher in the game. LeBron also has much greater court vision than 'Melo, is a better decision maker, and his defense is now worlds better.

    LeBron is the best small forward in the game and while Carmelo may be the second most talented small forward, I'd take a more balanced or perhaps a niche small forward over him if I was creating a team because 'Melo's a defenseless loser who's never gotten it done on the highest level.

    1. I agree with Erick. The endorsements aren't important.

      LeBron has taken his team to the NBA Finals in just his fourth season, and Carmelo might ending up Tracy McGrady and have trouble getting out of the first round.

      Carmelo might be the better shooter, but James is the better overall player because of his strength and his ability to penetrate at will.

      Skip Bayless thinks he is the greatest penetrator in the history of the NBA.

    2. Wait a minute. If Carmelo Anthony played in the Eastern Conference, he would be able to take his team to the Finals too.

      Anthony did something James didn't do last season.

      Carmelo beat the Spurs in the Playoffs.

      One game, but its more than Lebron won.

    3. Oh boy, they stole the first game of the series...let's throw a parade.

      Last year's Nuggets would have won one game at most over last season's Pistons.

    4. Sure throw one. One game shows Carmelo did what Lebron couldn't.

      Be realistic now. If Lebron and the on/off supporting cast of the Cavaliers could beat Detroit, The Nuggets would have swept the Pistons of last year.

      Second of all, James might not even make it ouf the first round this season.

      If he doesn't what are you going to say then?

      Go ahead and make up a excuse to protect Lebron.

    5. I'm going to say that Washington never was, never is, and unless their roster is blown up, never will be able to beat the Cavs in a playoff series.

      Sure, Nene had a strong opening game attacking Duncan off the dribble and the Nuggets made the majority of their jumpers. How that qualifies Carmelo as better than LeBron is beyond me.

      And Game 1's are the easiest games for underdogs to win. I don't care if a loser wins one game or three games in a series, they're still a loser. At least winning three games shows that you have the talent and the resourcefulness to adjust, figure out what adjustments an opponent is making, and then readjust. Denver won a game, San Antonio adjusted, Denver was stuck in quicksand.

      Sure Denver would have beaten last year's crippled Wizards and could've beaten a stale but steady Nets team, but there is no way Detroit loses to last year's Nuggets.

      Oh, yeah but the Cavs play in the East. Let's ignore the fact that Miami won a Finals, Detroit won a Finals, Detroit pushed a Finals to 7 Games, and New Jersey pushed a Finals to 6.

      I don't need to make excuses to protect LeBron. Carmelo has all his loser excuses from his stupid and immature DUI, the fact that he let himself quit in the Lakers' series, and the fact that his teams "style of play" doesn't involve defense.

      I'll take LeBron's ability to elevate his game, his wonderful court vision, physical strength, improved defense, and leadership abilities over Carmelo's constant halftime speeches imploring his team to play better defense and move the ball while he takes no part in the task.

  3. First of all, Lebron is better than Melo and will continue to get better. This takes nothing away from Melo, who is a great player. It's just that Lebron is a Phenom, in a category of his own.

    Everyone hates on these players for their money, but since you brought it up: You forgot Lebron's contracts with Coca Cola, State Farm, Bubbilicious, Club Cadet, and Microsoft. Last year, Lebron James was the richest athlete under age 25, according to Forbes Magazine. He banked $25 million in endorsements (on top of his $13 million from the Cavs). He's also pretty smart about business. For those who care about that kind of thing, see:

    http://money.cnn.com/2007/11/28/news/newsmakers/lebron_james.fortune/index.htm

    So my vote goes to Lebron. Though Melo's "consolation prize" is nice. Very nice.

  4. i cant believe this is even a topic...Everyone pretty much figured out Lebron was better in the rookie season. I mean, 5 years later. Melo might not be the best on the team. And he actually wasnt a star in high school. He didnt even become the go to until the end of his Junior Year. I saw him in high school....he blew up in his senior year at Oak Hill. Compare Melo with Dwade...maybe. Chris Bosh...i dunno. But, i feel like you're only comparing these two because u know Melo cant be compared to Kobe and Lebron is compared to Kobe....maybe?

  5. brandon is right. Carmelo plays no defense and let the lakers hold him to 35% shooting. All he does is score he is one demensional. I hope Jeff Van Gundy coaches them and whips him into shape.

  6. by the way you are missing alot of lebron's endorsements. Powerade, bubblicious, he even has a lawn mower commercial.

  7. Pretty sure Melo is the better all-around player. It's too bad that he's way too high all of the time to prove it. Lebron is good, but I'm pretty sick of the hype. He's big, fast, and strong... we get it.

    1. I agree Carmelo is the better All Around Player by a slim margain.

    2. Melo is better all around? For his career, Lebron is averaging almost 3 more rebounds, 4 more assists, 1 more steal, and 3 more points per game than Carmelo. Part of an all-around player is the effort he puts into his craft, and Melo puts in very little unfortunately.

    3. Don't underestimate, Andrew, just how big, fast, and strong LeBron is and just how difficult he is to stop when he drives. Also, don't underestimate how he makes good decisions while being the only focus of Cleveland's offense. It's LeBron or bust and he comes through.

      Melo commits careless turnovers, Melo doesn't step up in the clutch, Melo doesn't prepare as diligently throughout the season and gets into bad habits, Melo doesn't react well to defensive pressure, Melo doesn't defend, Melo doesn't impose his will on a game.

  8. Carmelo....

  9. Carmelo could be the better if he had the guidance of a tough coach or father-figure since it seems that's what he lacks because Melo is by far more offensively talented than Lebron. He has one of the best mid-range game in the league. But for now, Lebron is better all-around player than Melo simply because Lebron seems much more focused on basketball.

  10. Are you people crazy? Mello is heck I nice scorer but Bron is just better. He's a better defender. He can run and offense from the point. He can be a go to scorer. He impossible to keep out of the piant. He a fantastic passer. I mean this guy is huge and has PG skills with Amare's athletism. I don't get it.

    Did he snitch on someone or something?

  11. I agree with Erick. The endorsements aren't important. I think that Kobe is the best finisher/closer in the game. In regards to the question; Lebron is a better player who has elevated his game and taken his team to the NBA Finals whereas Carmelo will have something in common with Tracy McGrady by not getting out of the first round. He also strikes me as a one-dimensional player that doesn't play defense. He is impossible to keep out of the paint, he is huge with PG skills. Carmelo needs a defensive minded coach to play that will challenge him to improve his defense to become a better player. If the comparison was a boxing match it would be over early in the first round.

    1. Lebron only looks great because he plays in the Eastern Conference.

      If Melo played in the East, he would look that dominate too.

      The fact is Melo plays almost every game against the West and he's proven himself against the games' elite.

      James didn't beat the Spurs in the Finals last year.

      Carmelo managed to win a game against the Spurs in the playoffs.

    2. Like San Antonio, Detroit would close and collapse on AI's drives and Tayshaun Prince would bottle up Melo. And if the games were close, Billups and Hamilton would make plays where Melo and Iverson wouldn't.

      The Cavs have beaten the Pistons. The Nuggets haven't beaten any deserving playoff team. That's on LeBron.

      "The fact is Melo plays almost every game against the West and he's proven himself against the games' elite."

      How has he proven himself? By disappearing in the playoffs? That's proving himself? Plus Melo has a much more talented supporting cast than James has had. Sorry, but LeBron is better.

  12. I agree with Erick. The endorsements aren't important. I think that Kobe is the best finisher/closer in the game. In regards to the question; Lebron is a better player who has elevated his game and taken his team to the NBA Finals whereas Carmelo will have something in common with Tracy McGrady by not getting out of the first round. He also strikes me as a one-dimensional player that doesn't play defense. He is impossible to keep out of the paint, he is huge with PG skills. Carmelo needs a defensive minded coach to play that will challenge him to improve his defense to become a better player.

If the comparison was a boxing match it would be over early in the first round.

  14. This isn't even close. Lebron is so much more athletic, a much better on-court decision maker, a much better passer, a much better penetrator, and a much better defender. Lebron averages more points, assists, AND rebounds than 'Melo. Melo's defensive abilities are similar to a deep-sea sponge... though that may be partly the fault of the system he's played in since he got to the League. Let's not forget the intangible - Lebron is much more competitive and just appears to care about winning a lot more than 'Melo. Dude totally shut down in the first round vs. the Lakers when his shot wasn't falling-that sums it up to me right there.

  15. sure Carmello has been in the playoffs every year, but Melos defense doesnt compare to LeBrons, nor has Melo shown the ability to take a game over by himself. LeBron has made it farther in the playoffs every year so far, then Melo has and Melo now has AI. POint made there.

    1. Its the Eastern Conference! If you put the Denver Nuggets in the East, they would surely make it to the Eastern Conference Finals.

  16. I see greatness in LeBron. I have yet to see that from Melo.

    LeBron is going to be great, and I say great, I mean all-time great. I'm not a big LeBron fan, but I'm just telling it like it is.

    Melo is my favorite NBA player, but I just don't see the potential greatness in him yet.

    1. James is putting up those numbers in the Eastern Conference.

      If Lebron played in the West, he wouldn't record those same numbers.

      James might as well be playing high school basketball teams as far as I'm concerned.

      Lastly, Carmelo is currently the best SF in the Western Conference, right?

      Every superstar goes through their up and downs, Look at

      Dirk
      Steve Nash
      Josh Howard

    2. LeBron would put up ungodly numbers in the freeflowing West as opposed to the stagnant-paced East. And how many double and triple teams does Carmelo face? Give LeBron some of the offensive-caliber teammates that Carmelo has, and he'd average 35-40 points and 10 assists per night. Hands down.

    3. You know, LeBron plays only about 1/3rd fewer games against the West than Western Conference teams do. LeBron's stats in 29 games against the West this year (he missed one game against Seattle):

      32.1 PTS, 8.5 REB, 7.3 AST

      Carmelo's stats in 49 games against the West this year:

      24.5 PTS, 7.9 REB, 3.2 AST

      I'm sure LeBron would be a non-factor in the West this year...

  17. How do you get Lebron putting up better numbers in the West than the East?

    The West is where the real competition is.

  18. Sean, your only arguement is that "Lebron plays in the East, all the competition is on the West" (imagine that in a nagging broad's voice). You people are really buying into that? Its the Nba...all teams are competitive. Boston and Detroit had the best Records right. Ok...Detroit needed 6 games to beat Philly...Bostons playing game 6 tonight with the 8th seeded hawks. If what your saying is true then the bottom 2 seeds shouldnt be this competitive. They should be getting swept. Right? Boston lost 3 games,,,i repeat 3 games to the Washington Wizards. Took losses to Charlotte twice i think. The only championship team the West has had in the last 7 years is the Spurs. Detroit and Miami got there. The Western Conference and Eastern Conference play two different types of basketball...Furthermore, if Lebron played in the west his numbers would be better. He'd be surrounded by much better shooters and talent overall. Changing Coasts doesnt change the fact that 1 person cant contain him. Period

  19. Let me ask you this...You put Lebron on the Nuggets for this last series instead of Melo...What do you think the outcome is? There'd still be games to play

    1. No there would be not be games to play.

      A power struggle would occur between James and Iverson.

      Carmelo has adjusted and has learned that stardom rotates on that team.

    2. There would be a power struggle in Denver with James, but let's not assume that Denver has this harmonious free-flowing offense: Carmelo takes a shot going one-on-one, then Iverson takes a shot one-on-one, then Carmelo takes a shot one-on-one, etc.

      Selfishness and simplicity rotates on that team.

      With the Cavs, 'Melo would be a force in the post but 'Melo's poor decision making would keep the Cavs from winning games. Plus their lack of athleticism and creativity would be exposed badly, as would the fact that the Cavs wouldn't have a reliable fourth-quarter player.

      I doubt last year's Cavs with Melo beat New Jersey in the 2nd round.

  20. First of all, I'm tired of this "the east sucks" debate. We're still talking about the NBA where only one of every 100000 pretty darn good players actually make it to this level ( made up the stat but you get my point) The west is better, obviously, but it doesn't mean the East is like an YMCA conference.
    Second, dont think Lebron would cry every time he'd play a west team ( he's got 40 games a year playing against them by the way). Indeed, the west teams dont know how to defend-or dont like to- ( except for San Antonio) and more points are scored which shouldn't unfavor Lebron that much.
    As for the article, i dont see what the endorsements deals have to do with this comparison. As of now, Lebron is way ahead of Carmelo in terms of general impact to the game and the NBA. I know Carmelo plays in the west ( incredibly difficult i know i know) but did you know that west teams actually get to advance playoffs rounds and they dont all stop at the first round.

  21. Who has won more games head to head????? Cavs vs Nuggets - Im not sure the exact number by I know its the nuggets by far!

    In that case it would be Melo.

    Personally I think Lebron is the better overall player right now, but I think the Melo has more talent
    and potential - he just has to stop being lazy and be more determined to be a better player and a better leader. In all though these are 2 first ballet hall of fame canidates.

    Give it another 5 years then I think you'll really be able to tell.

    1. Thank you Jee-Jee.

      Carmelo has won more head to head matchups.

      I also agree with you that about 5 more seasons will tell their stories apart.

    2. Do lazy players ever stop being lazy? When was the last time a good but lazy player became a dominant player?

      Rasheed Wallace for half a season in Detroit. Baron Davis for about one season in Golden State.

      Who cares about talent? Talent doesn't win games (look at Boston). Discipline, mental toughness, physicality, poise, leadership, and clutch play win games. Has Carmelo ever exhibited any of those traits besides some occasional physicality in the post?

  22. You have got to be kidding me. This is possibly the stupidest arguement ever. Look at LeBron's stats against the West. I can't believe people actually believe its even close. I honestly thought this post was a joke.

  23. One more thing, if LeBron and AI were on a team together a championship would be in the bad. Way t oo much heart on one team.

  24. I agree, I think it's silly that this is even a topic...Lebron puts up better stats, has had more playoff success, and never takes any possessions off. All of those statements would probably be true no matter who he played for. Not to mention he's a better teammate and looks to take responsibility and improve rather than dish blame out on others, which I've seen plenty of from Melo. I'm not a Lebron cock-jocker (or Melo hater) by any means, but I know I would sure as hell rather have Bron on my team. Melo is a talented scorer who has more natural ability than work ethic... fun to watch but not on the same level in terms of being a complete basketball player.

  25. It is nowhere even close, Lebron is way better. Period. Better stats, better playoff success, he isn't the smartest player but hey anthony isnt either. Lebron is way better. No comparison. And who really cares a bout the endorsements? Even though it was kind of a pointless one, still good article.

  26. It's not even a competition. LeBron is much better.

  27. Man, come on. Carmelo Anthony is no where near LeBron James, man. All of these stats and endorsements don't show that Carmelo cannot get out of the first round, has off the court issues and still hasn't seemed to justify the hype. On the other hand, LeBron's been to the Finals and has just been amazing and second to Kobe in NBA's best player. Do Carmelo fairly and compare him to the likes of Chris Bosh and Dwight Howard, but not LeBron James. No way, man.

  28. Let's put it like this, Overall Carmelo is hands down a way better scorer and shooter than LeBron, but LeBron is a better all-round player. And Melo is clutch. Melo had came through so many times in close games when LeBron sometimes disappears. People wanna make it like it's all Melo fault that the Nuggets aren't making it out the first round. People saying shit like Melo disappears in the playoffs but don't forget LeBron was shut the fuck down by Bruce Bowen in the Finals last season as he held LeBron to 35% shooting, then LeBron wanna make a excuse that in game 4 he was tired because he was up all night while his girlfriend was giving birth to their second child. There's no excuses. Don't forget when MJ was so fucked up sick-wise in that Utah game in the finals and the greatest still scores 38 points. Now back to LeBron and Melo, everybody knows that Melo was suppose to have been the Rookie of the Year in the 03-04 season it was a popularity dick-riding thing for LeBron. LeBron name was already on the trophy before the season started, probably before the draft so Melo got screwed. Melo was definitely the better player that year. Melo may not had yet to get his team outta the first round but Melo put the Nuggets on the map just like LeBron put the Cavs on the map. When Melo gets his mind right and mature up, everybody in the league better watch out. Melo, if you ask me, is the best small forward in the West where it's very tough to play. People just not giving Carmelo the props that he deserves just like people don't give Iverson the props he deserves. Melo is underrated to me. All people talk about is LeBron, Kobe, and Chris Paul, which all 3 of those players are good, and Kobe is the best in the game now, even though he just trying to imitate MJ, but please give Melo his props that he deserves.

    Don't get me wrong, I like LeBron alot too, but I like Melo alot more.

    By Candace.

    1. I agree with you 90% Candace that Carmelo is the better player and that he deserved that Rookie if the Year award in 2003.

  30. NO PROBLEM

    1.Allen Iverson
    2.Kobe Bryant
    3.Kevin Garnett
    4.Tim Duncan
    5.Tracy McGrady
    6.CARMELO ANTHONY
    7.Dwyane Wade
    8.LeBron James
    9.Dwight Howard
    10.Paul Pierce
    11.Chris Paul
    12.Dirk Nowitzki
    13.Steve Nash
    14.Yao Ming
    15.Amare Stoudemire

    IN ORDER.

  31. Candace, you had a point about LeBron in the finals last season. If LeBron is so good, where was he in the finals last season? He played so horribly in the finals last year thanks to Bruce Bowen. Don't get me wrong, LeBron is a good player but he is not as good as people are making him to be.

    Oh yeah last night against the Celtics, he shot 2-18 from the field with 10 turnovers. What's up with that?

    Far as who's the better player between Melo and LeBron, I would definitely say Melo is way more talented than LeBron. Melo just need to mature up a little more and put more effort and concentration into his game. When he does that, everybody that's dissing Melo will need to own him an apology.

    Carmelo is sort of underrated.

    LeBron is sort of overrated.

    Both players are good. They both will get better. They are still in their early 20's now and still have alot to learn about the game. But overall, Melo is alot more talented real talk.

    And the best player in the league is Kevin Garnett, not Kobe.

    1. Thank you Nathan. Someone else that understands that Melo is a greater player than people think.

      I need all the support I can get.

  32. the answer is: Dwight Howard.

  33. I'm from Cleveland and I like LeBron alot but I will say that Carmelo is a whole lot better than LeBron hands down when it comes to scoring. Melo can score in so many ways while LeBron really can't. And Melo is also a better shooter and rebounder than LeBron. Now just cause LeBron averages more rebounds than Melo doesn't mean anything. Dwight Howard averaged more rebonds than Garnett and Duncan but Garnett and Duncan are still the best 2 rebounders in the game. Far as scoring goes, the top 5 best overall scorers in the league today IN ORDER are Kobe, Iverson, Melo, T-Mac, and Pierce. Those 5 guys have so many different ways how to score. The season averages don't matter. These 5 players are hands down better scorers than LeBron. I would even edge out Dwyane Wade over LeBron in that category. LeBron has to work on other ways on how to score and his jump shot is still a little off and he neds to do a little more work on that. Now LeBron is alot more mature than Melo, has more focus on the game than Melo, a better all-around player than Melo, and a better decision-maker than Melo. Sometimes Melo make the dumbest mistakes at the wrong time during games that can cost them as the game goes on, so Melo needs to work on that. Some people call Melo a ballhogger but I really don't see that. Now early on in his career he was a huge ballhogger but right now I really don't see that. Far as who is more clutch, both players are very clutch but I will give the slighter edge to Carmelo. Honestly I felt that Carmelo was suppose to have been the rookie of the year in the 03-04 season in which they gave it to LeBron. Melo was definitely the better player and led his team to the playoffs. I wouldn't mind if they would had share the rookie of the year award neither. But overall, both players are great players with alot more to learn about the game and they both will only get better.

  34. BREAKING NEWS:
    HOW IN THE FUCK AI AND MELO WAS LEFT OFF ON THE ALL NBA TEAMS LIST? THEY GOT YAO MING ON THE LIST AND HE MISS MOST OF THE SEASON. WHAT TYPE OF SHIT IS THAT? MANU GINOBILI ON THE LIST OUTTA ALL PEOPLE. DON'T GET ME WRONG, HE'S GOOD BUT HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ON THAT LIST. PAUL PIERCE GOOD BUT MELO WAS ALOT BETTER THAN PIERCE THIS YEAR AND. AI IS 50 TIMES BETTER THAN STEVE NASH. STEVE NASH IS GOOD BUT HE WASN'T EVEN THAT GOOD THIS YEAR. THE NBA IS FULL OF SHIT AND ASS KISSERS. I THINK IS A IMAGE THING FOR AI & MELO AND THAT'S WHY THE NBA REALLY DON'T TREAT THEM FAIRY. THEY JUST TRY TO PROTECT THEIR SO-CALLED GOOD IMAGE.

    BY THE WAY, MELO IS BETTER THAN LEBRON.
    END OF DISCUSSION.

    1. Thank you Rashard. Carmelo is better than Lebron.

  35. Lebron cant shoot. Carmelo can. And about defense. Last year I remember people hating Lebron 4 not playing defense. They gave the props to Carmelo. This means that when he wants to he can play. He just doesnt want too. I also remember him being the leading MVP candidate before his suspension. Carmelo hands down.
