Allen Iverson
Carmello Anthony
Dominique Wilkins
Bernard King
Also if they don't have the ball in their hands how do they contribute ,or make their teammates better ?
shooting percentage seperates king from all of them.. Career 50+ FG% shooter..
They are all hofs. Three are retired.

You could say the same thing about Kidd, Stockton and Magic. Most great players need the ball in their hands in order to help their teams win.

WHAT ? Iverson is the only one who's position warrants the ball in his hands, the others are front court players.
All excelled in PPG, which gets you the money and fame.
Knicks need to build a Iverson Sixer like team around Melo and let him score 38PPG. Just get guys who defend, rebound and move the ball to Melo. Not Bargnani and Amare
How did they(4 players above) contribute to their teams without the ball in their hands ?

They still need one more scorer but getting shooters/Defenders to surround him is the way to go. More guys like shumpert/Prigioni/metta.
Yea Shumpert can be the Larry Hughes. Just score enough 13-16pts

His jump shot looks so smooth and he is so fast. He just needs to put it all together and he could definitely be a very good scorer.
What they have in common? Ball Hog City!
What separates them? Tattoo count!

he would have to take 50 shots per game to get 38 points..
the thing with guys like king is that he shot over 50% didn't need a ton of shots..
good luck with that....

It worked for iverson who was far less efficient. Not saying its the answer, but you can build a successful team that way.
I only say tha because it's easier than trying to play team ball with Melo. If Larry Brown was coach I think this is what he would go for instead of trying to turn Melo into something he is not. This way Melo gets his max money and we are still competitive
Wow I was hoping people were going to talk about Nique, Bernard along with Iverson and Melo.
Is the forum too young to remember ?

CARMELO NOT IVERSON
Iverson career 42.5% fg. Melo 45.6%. Melo also better career 3pt % and free throw %. Original point was if a successful team can be put around iverson's high volume scoring it can be done with Melo.

iverson was a more dynamic player.. he played a lot in the lane for a little guy.. his ability to penetrate opened up a lot of opportunities for other players.. he also dished out close to 7 dimes a game, even though he put up a ton of shots.. Not a fan of the amount of shots he took, but I liked how he played. exciting to watch, electric, hard to guard, an opportunist on defense, almost getting 3 steals a game...
different player, different dynamic, you can't do with carmelo what you did with iverson. carmelo too limited..
I don't care what the original point was. I don't agree with it, iverson was more than just a high volume shooter.... His style of play is what allowed the sixers to build a team around him that worked somewhat....
and here is the big difference. Iverson actually played better in the playoffs than regular season... Look at his shooting % in postseason..
