This hasn't been done for almost 2 years. Bosh won out 64 -36 back then, and obviously they've both made improvements since then. I was laughed at for suggesting Bosh is better in another thread. Sure, the Raptors are a considerably weaker team than the Nuggets, but that isn't Bosh's fault, he's just as reliable as Melo. Obvoiusly I'm biased, but Bosh has a bigger impact and is the better player. First of all he's got the size advantage, is comparable to KG at the same age, is tied with Steve Nash for efficiency per game ranked #11 ahead of Tim Duncan, while Anthony is at #22 just ahead of Chris Paul, Bosh has a better Assist to turnover, shoots at a considerably higher percentage on the floor and from the line, and naturally poses a greater defensive presence. They're very different players, but which would you rather have on your team?

Lol , here comes the question ? Which one is better ? Bosh or Melo ? Come on Melo fans , this thread is fo you not the MVP one.

They are both great players who play nothing alike but if I had to choose a player I would pick Melo just because I am not found of multi-skilled bigmen who can't dominate on the low block, but I am found of multi-skilled wing players who have the ability to dominate and post up other wing players on the low block while also having the ability to dominate from the wing.

Look at the poll results :

Bosh :5
Melo :2

lol...

toss up, both are very good, it depends if you want to compare positions, i am not saying both of them are going to be as good as Hakkem and MJ but that is what its like comparing, both are very good but at different things

Bigger impact? The raptors are not even close to making the playoffs... and without him would still not make the playoffs. The Nuggets without Melo are fighting for the #1 pick with the raptors instead of making the playoffs in a much tougher conference. And i wouldn't call 2% a considerably higher percentage especially with Bosh being an inside player.



Also being a Nuggets fan i know stats can be decieving. Juwan Howard made the allstar game as a Nugget and wasn't a top 50 in the league. Someone will get the stats on a bad team.

Good players win, Melo is no doubt better.

I like Bosh, but my choice would be Melo. He is so under-rated on these boards.

I'd take Bosh simply b/c he's a big man & big men like him are hard to come by. He can shoot, he's quick like a gazelle & he runs the floor beautifully. Both were freshmen taken in College so they're the same age & I bet neither is really close to their primes so I may change my mind in 3-4 yrs.

That's a huge myth. Bosh is hardly talked about, but on the other hand you constantly hear about how underrated Melo is to the point that he's becoming overrated on this board. He's become the sung, unsung hero.

You may be right about Melo. And I didn't mean to imply that Bosh himself is over-rated. Just was saying Melo sometimes gets dogged on. But people are now beginning to come around.
