What you’re really failing to grasp in your overeager attempt to be contrarian, is that comparing these 2 particular players based simply on their “similarities”, is totally beside the point. What you simply can’t admit, even to yourself it seems, it that Jabari Parker couldn’t carry Melo’s jockstrap. That comparison simply does not wash- except for their being similar in height, and play the same position. Melo was not just “another player”, he was in fact one of the best of his generation- one that included Lebron, Wade, veteran Kobe, Bosh, etc. Whether you wanna accept that or not, it’s not “Orange-colored glasses” to make that assertion.
Jabari Parker is simply not in the same class as a player, injuries and any other excuses notwithstanding.
Perhaps the only people  who believe otherwise, even remotely, is you and all the other Melo-bashers out there.
Thank goodness the man, on his way to the HOF, gets to go out on his own terms, w/ a giant fkc u to all the detractors.
