Message: [QUOTE="Fat tire 13, post: 2585751, member: 6171"] I spent some time looking at the career stats of the top 25-30 scorers of all times. A select few maintained a high levels into the late 30s, but a vast majority started falling off the map around 35-36. Melo is 34 and has lots of mileage. While the dropoff was sudden, it is not unusual for someone his age. If he doesn't bounce back next year, it could very well be the beginning of the end For the debate about his career, it is strange that he is such a polarizing character. I think many, especially Cuse fans, wanted to see him be a top 20 all time player in the NBA. The reality is he is still probably between 50-75, which is not too shabby if you consider all the greats that have played in the NBA over the years. [/QUOTE]
