Carmelo "Melo" Anthony is one of the most explosive players in the game. The nickname "Melo" does not match his playing style very much, It doesn't explain the way he soars over defenders to dunk or the way he handles like a point guard, or even the fact he keeps improving at a high pace. The only thing Melo explains is his personality, he keeps to himself... most of the time, and doesn't fight with his teammates. His defense and rebounding have improved ever since his first season, it's astonishing because if he does this for a while longer he may join LeBrons level and even win an MVP. I love watching Carmelo because he guarantees you a few WOW! How does he do that? plays and at least one highlight reel play. He does this often with defense draped all over him, especially his fadeaway which he drains in the face of anyone who dares to guard him. Melos fadeaway has a special place in my heart that is joined by Rudy Gay's fadeaway and everything done by GP (I would list it all but it would be boring and long). Melo also is one of the greatest scorers ever in the way that even when he isn't trying he ends up with 25, Melo is one of the greatest scorers ever, he's a guy you can prepare for months to play and yet your not stopping him, Melo is nothing less than the greatest scorer in the world right now!.He somehow flies to the rim like a coiled spring and is accomplished shooter. Carmelo Anthony is becoming the total package.

Carmelo get's swept under the rug too much, I'm happy to see him get his due. In my eyes Carmelo could be the best scorer in the league if he put in more effort and one of the greatest of all time too!

Hey a new comment, glad for the readers and i agree in my opinion it's him or Monta Ellis, but I think one day it will be Jordan Crawford, he's gonna be a relentless scorer and Carmelo is already one of the greatest in our opinion otherwise he would make this list, but Jordan Crawford will be so good, he pops them three's in yo eyes, sorry inside joke
