It's hot here in Georgia because my eyes are sweating
LOVE D Wade!
But dammit, i can’t help thinking how Melo could’ve/should’ve/would’ve had a similar farewell tour, if only...,
To see him out of the league, basically banished, is heartbreaking. He deserved better. SMDH
Syracuse Melo and NBA Melo were two different players. One had a constant smile, beloved and won a title. The other scored a lot of points and didn't do much else.

Some players or the recipient organizations are way more public promoting good works but you are so wrong about Melo not doing much else . I know but it doesn’t fit the cool, negativity so popular here though. In addition to the numerous charitable programs from the links above but name other former stars who donated 3 million dollars to a university they attended for one year? People here are crazy. Kudos to Dwayne Wade but you should be embarrassed to use it as a platform to rip on Melo - just shows some of the mentalities too pervasive here.

I believe he was referring to his on the court accomplishments. He wasn't ripping Melo. Everyone breathe lol
I never ripped Melo but to put him on the same level as Wade when it comes to the NBA is ridiculous.
Statistically, they're astoundingly similar players. Basically identical. Even defensively they're close.
The only big difference is Wade got to play with two legitimate superstars at the same time; Melo had 1 at most, and that's debatable.
They can't be compared because Wade had the good fortune of playing for a Title contender and winning some?
Defensively they're close? Have you watched Wade play?
He does okay blocking shots for a guard. Nobody would call him a defensive force. Have you watched him play?
The advanced stats don't point to him being a top notch defender. The eye test doesn't either.
...are you serious
Was 'okay' not strong enough for 1.5 blocks per game? Good?
You said he's okay for a guard. No. He's the best to ever do it as a guard. Quite the difference
...also a career 29.3% shooter from 3-pt territory, which is not good for a guard, especially a 2G.
But 48% from the field overall, is....also a career 29.3% shooter from 3-pt territory, which is not good for a guard, especially a 2G.

Not to derail this thread and I am a big time melo fan and defender, but only here would someone compare Carmelo and wade. Both built themselves remarkable (worldwide) basketball careers. Both hall of famers. Wade is higher all time by a pretty objective gap.
