LeBron is obviously the better player on a better team, but Melo is and has always been a better scorer, mainly because he has everything LBJ has offensively plus an outside jumper. Melo is for sure the hardest player to guard- both Kobe and LeBron said it. LeBron said he watches every game Melo plays, and he still couldn't guard him tonight. Melo would've had more on him but Wade switched on Melo for most of the second half.
To the people saying Melo just jacks up shots and never passes..do you even watch the games? Yeah, he's been jacking up shots, but if you watch the games you'll see that he does pass the ball, a lot actually. It's not his fault his supporting cast can't score when he passes. Tell me who you plan on passing to when your 'all star power forward' has glass knees and you know if you pass it to him he's at huge risk of getting injured. Then there's the others who aren't too reliable. I would only trust Shumpert, but there's times he's really off the mark as well too. And if you bring up his assists...I mean assists only mean you had that pass to the score, doesn't really count every pass you have made. Watch the damn games...
My favorite matchup. It has more history and is more interesting than the lbj/kd to me. Interestingly enough Melo has a wining record against both KD(by a ton) and LeBron.
its also hilarious to me how in any game the PA is so biased(and deservedly so). like in this CARMELLOOOOO ANTHONYYYYYY....MELO MELO MELOO.. but LeBron's be like "count the basket lebron james 2pts"
The Knicks always look good when Carmelo is shooting well, but when he is not they look like shit, they need to stop relying on him and lean towards guys like Amare, who are starting to step it up.
Umm...this was a total team effort, I'm not saying they don't win when he shoots well, but the reason WHY hes hot well is because his team was playing great. And that opens things up for him. this is what I've been waiting for. For everyone ELSE to show up during games. Melo can't do it himself.
***** haha, untrue, Wade admitted he's better than him (LeBron is better than everyone) And that he's the better player on the team, also They are great friends, and Wade one a chip with a shitty team plus--wait,are you trolling? :p
Proud of the knicks this game. I kmw Carmelo Anthony would score points. But Amare studermire played really tough. He's been stepping it up. Glad for him.
Great game. Can't believe 10 years have gone by so fast. I remember when LeBron & Carmelo were drafted in 2003. I waz 13 at the time and 23 watching these boyz play great basketball. Gotta love it.
What I really love about match-ups like these in the respect between the players. They play competitively but there's a sense of respect and reality between both of them which makes it even more fierce. It's great. That was a good match to watch yesterday. And this announcer makes it even better :P
:S? it doesn't matter if they get to the line or not. They shoot over 52% from the field for the season. Plus they kinda suck at the foul line alot of times.
Lebron shot 71% from the field because they have ball movement and get open shots. Melo schooled lebron one on one and there is nothing left to say. You can't stop melo
I'm so excited to see the Nets game even tho I'm no nets fan I'm curious to see what the nets do lol, I heard KG been playing like he was in his prime, I'm curious to see what he brings to the table tonight.
Where in the world did you hear KG is playing like he is in his prime. The nets are gonna get slaughtered bro. KG is no where near at a prime playing level
The title says Melo vs LeBron but this was Melo Jaying the shit out of LeBron multiple times and LeBron going in on everyone except Melo minus like one time... Lol
Jloshua Well considering the fact that Melo is known for his isolation jumping and all around offensive prowess, Melo is and always will be better offensively than Lebron. Melo has arguably one of the best jumpers in the league, he us known as the unguardable. He would be the one to take a shot right in your face and put that shit down. Lebron can't face Melo isolation cuz he has a naturally bad jumpshot, but vice versa and Melo can whoop his ass.
These too are true rivals they played each other in highschool they were drafted the same year And they were actually best of friends they play the same position and when they play each other or the team the opposing player plays for they always go off in a game
I love my Knicks, trade Jr , if he screws up one more time this season. We need to lock shumpert down fir next 3 years not Jr. Stoudemire has to dominate in playoffs. Nd Chandler is solid but I say end games with barg nd stat. #Knickstape.
Don't you think that Hardaway can be really good player and better thant Smith? I am not Knicks fan and didn't see them playing, but from highlights (not these one play, which are posted there) I think that he isn't bad.
I do see the potential in hardaway. But he has 2 more years of development to go to even compare to Jr. Tim needs to hit weight warm, Jr has stronger better d. Tim is a hardworker tho.
How come every time the knicks give it to the heat the heat fans get so upset and bring up playoffs and rings.Look crybabies its a regular season game!!!! Not the playoffs so stop being a hater and just take the L.
If for once Carmelo Anthony had help from another good player, which he has never had, then he may lead the Knicks to a championship. That's why I'm hoping the Knicks draft Jahil Okafor. I just want one championship from the Knicks.
Melo can't handle another superstar. He scores so much because he shoots 25 shots a game. He wouldn't be effective with someone else that requires the ball.
This was a really fun game to watch. I myself didnt think the Knicks had a chance but they put up a good fight thru the first 3 and ran away with it in the 4th quarter. Their season matchups should be fun to watch. If the Knicks get the 8th or 7th seed and go against Miami in the playoffs it would be interesting to watch.
Well, not a good game for the Heat last night. The Knicks played very well last night and was able to get the W. I hope the Heat beat the Nets tonight though. Also that was a great matchup but when Lebron was not guarding Carmelo, he would pop 3's all the time. Good game overall.
He guarded sometimes that's why melos stat lines si somewhere near 9-25.. But yeah, they really got hot in the second half.. too many lucky deep 3 pointers and nice drives by inconsistent Felton
José Alonso Ramos Aldana I can tell you are a heat fan and plus melo was 12-24 because most of his shots were threes and 2 point jumpers while lebron had a really good game but mostly he went for layups. Knicks didn't have lucky 3 pointers melo, shumpert and hardaway are sharp 3 point shooters. You are just a butthurt fan because one of the top teams in the east got beat by a under .500 team. Felton is an underrated point guard
it was just a bad night for the heat. bosh wasn't getting shots to fall and wade missed his free throws. plain and simple even bad teams win a few off the heat sometimes
FatalPivotStrike Knicks only team to beat Miami 5-1 since last since i wonder why, we are like the bulls we give heat a hard time, miami is lucky they havent played us in the playoffs the last 2 years
Melo: 29 points on 12 for 24 shooting, 8 rebounds, 5 assists Lebron: 32 points on 12 for 17 shooting, 5 rebounds, 6 assists You do the math. Melo had a good game but lebron was more efficient. But of course knicks fans choose to ignore the stats and act like Lebron got schooled by Melo...smh
I'm not a big Lebron fan but I love seeing battles like this. Was well played from both Carmelo and Lebron and makes for great basketball. And all this about Melo testing free agency is annoying, if it happens, it happens otherwise people shouldn't worry about it.
What the hell are you thinking? Allowing James to score 32 on 12/17 shooting isn't shutting down exactly. Don't think they are better than Miami now because of one win. They beat the Heat last season twice with 20 points,but see who won the championship.
Nikolaj Grünig lebron said himself that rings dont define players.plus lebron is always getting easy wide open lay ups under the rim.melo is shooting fade away 3s.melo is much better than lebron in all categories.
George Astafyev That was one of the dumbest comments i've ever seen. James doesn't just get easy buckets, he works his way to the basket, but he also a great midrange shooter and very good from deep the last two seasons. LeBron is better than Melo in almost all categories.
CARMEEEEEEEELOOOOOOOOOO ANTHOOOONNNYYYYYYY LOL :D
I don't know about you, but that shit started to get annoying after the third time he said it.
***** hahahaha thts the goal
***** now imagine you have season tickets...
I'll take that over the Heat announcer:
"CrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRISSSSSSSSS BOSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH"
*****
The Clipper announcers are the best bud
Don't know why but I like how that announcer announce Melo's name.
word
I love the way they announce Carmelo's name. "CARMELOOOOO ANTHANAYYYYYY"
Flight actually did it 10 years ago the problem was he didn't have the cameras on
The Wade, Lebron, Melo draft. Now I would like to see Lebron play with Melo.
Bosh.
Johann Pro Bosh who? dinosaur man
I know I'm 5 years late but I think soon your gonna get your wish
@@loganpaschal6816 nah
add cp3... BANANA BOAT
The beginning reminded me a bit of oldschool NBA. Good times..
yeap..me too
I don't get it
fuck off
Love Anthony's shot. So quick and smooth. Even makes LeBron, an elite defender, looks clueless of Carmelo's next move.
LeBron is obviously the better player on a better team, but Melo is and has always been a better scorer, mainly because he has everything LBJ has offensively plus an outside jumper. Melo is for sure the hardest player to guard- both Kobe and LeBron said it. LeBron said he watches every game Melo plays, and he still couldn't guard him tonight. Melo would've had more on him but Wade switched on Melo for most of the second half.
Better outside shot? James shot 40% from deep last season, as well as this season.
and so is Melo, with more 3s made. By outside jumper, I meant just a more consistent game outside of the paint
Matt Goodwin i love melo. i love both of them. For me, melo is the complete scorer, though he doesnt have the consistency on the jumper KD has.
Henrique Bernardino but I give him a edge over KD because Melo is much better in the post
im sorry but he guarded melo's ass, melo just that good of a scorer
All around Beast vs Scoring monster
carmelooooooo annnnnthony
To the people saying Melo just jacks up shots and never passes..do you even watch the games?

Melo is much better than lebrown on offense.
My favorite matchup. It has more history and is more interesting than the lbj/kd to me. Interestingly enough Melo has a wining record against both KD(by a ton) and LeBron.
its also hilarious to me how in any game the PA is so biased(and deservedly so). like in this CARMELLOOOOO ANTHONYYYYYY....MELO MELO MELOO.. but LeBron's be like "count the basket lebron james 2pts"
*****
They are in madison square.... home of the knicks, what you expect? The roles would be reversed if they were at the heat stadium duh..
LegendInThaMakin thats why i said in any game every teams pa is like that i also said (deservedly so) i know why they do it its still funny to me
***** idk i guess ill check again but last time i looked he had a winning record
***** nah melo has a 11-7 record on him. the only edge lebron has is in the one series they played in the playoffs
The Knicks always look good when Carmelo is shooting well, but when he is not they look like shit, they need to stop relying on him and lean towards guys like Amare, who are starting to step it up.
Umm...this was a total team effort, I'm not saying they don't win when he shoots well, but the reason WHY hes hot well is because his team was playing great. And that opens things up for him. this is what I've been waiting for. For everyone ELSE to show up during games. Melo can't do it himself.
House of Hoops is a fucking idiot. knows nothing about basketball
ok bro 🤣🤣🤣
The Heat would have stood a chance if D.Wade made those damn FTs...
It's crazy I think he missed them all. haha
yah he missed them all, but made 3pts shot and 2 circus shot. just crazy.
***** haha, untrue, Wade admitted he's better than him (LeBron is better than everyone) And that he's the better player on the team, also They are great friends, and Wade one a chip with a shitty team plus--wait,are you trolling? :p
Proud of the knicks this game. I kmw Carmelo Anthony would score points. But Amare studermire played really tough. He's been stepping it up. Glad for him.
I think Bargnani should win Defensive player of the year. his defense really stopped Lebron from attacking the hoop.
LMAO. I take it ur being sarcastic? since lebron shot 71% this game.
No shit
ali sial no shit ,dickwad
MrTiktok4
fuck off bitch. I was making sure cuz u never know with some delusional fans
ali sial making sure?what happened to your own brain?stop making up stupid excuses as a cover up for ur low IQed brain
Lebron is the better overall player but carmelo is better offensively...
Just because he has more moves offensively doesn't mean he's better.
u wrong, Carmelo average more points cuz he takes more attempts per game, just compare their FG%, it will prove u who is better offensively.
Great game. Can't believe 10 years have gone by so fast. I remember when LeBron & Carmelo were drafted in 2003. I waz 13 at the time and 23 watching these boyz play great basketball. Gotta love it.
Everybody knows that 7>6 that's basic.
You forgot to show the part where lbj tried to do a no-look alley oop pass and failed xP
What I really love about match-ups like these in the respect between the players. They play competitively but there's a sense of respect and reality between both of them which makes it even more fierce. It's great. That was a good match to watch yesterday. And this announcer makes it even better :P
Best match-up on the NBA. MELO > LEBRON since High School lmao.
I could watch this match up all day. Exciting.
What about me vs them both?
You're like 50 dude lol
Michael Jordan hahaha theyre probably both wearing j's so it.... even tho ur are probably 50 u will still school lebron im a carmelo fan
- Gotta Love Knicks' PA. "3 Will Goooo, Carmelooooww Anthonyyyyy" I like Heat's PA too. " Rayyyy Allen for 3eeeeeeeee, from Lebron!"
That's the key, if the Heat don't get to the line nearly every play they'll lose :O
:S? it doesn't matter if they get to the line or not. They shoot over 52% from the field for the season. Plus they kinda suck at the foul line alot of times.
ali sial Had D. Wade not been 0-6 from the line they'd probably would've won
ya that's what i kinda just said. Also lebron was pretty bad from the line yesterday too
Stop comparing we all know LBJ is better. But just sit back and enjoy 2 of the great players in the game today and 2 of the all time greats go at it!
Lebron shot 71% from the field because they have ball movement and get open shots. Melo schooled lebron one on one and there is nothing left to say. You can't stop melo
You probably didn't see the 6 or 7 wide open shots Melo made in this vid but lets say Melo schooled LeBron
I'm so excited to see the Nets game even tho I'm no nets fan I'm curious to see what the nets do lol, I heard KG been playing like he was in his prime, I'm curious to see what he brings to the table tonight.
Where in the world did you hear KG is playing like he is in his prime. The nets are gonna get slaughtered bro. KG is no where near at a prime playing level
Wtf are you smoking KG in his prime? This is is his worst season of his whole career
"kg been playing like he was in his prime" man im guessing you have some special kind of weed
@Kare Laine Lol I heard, I mean i didn't see that game they played but I heard he was playing really good recently :p
Lol that was a hell of a slaughter
CARMELLLOOOOOO ANTHOOOONYYYY
I Love Watchin These Two Play Each Other It's Always A Show !
Carmelo outplayed LeBron, simple as that
i LOVE
"carmelooooooooooooo anthonyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" hahahahahahaaha
ok, who was the genius who put bargnani on james in defense!? :D just made my day, LOL!!
The title says Melo vs LeBron but this was Melo Jaying the shit out of LeBron multiple times and LeBron going in on everyone except Melo minus like one time... Lol
You know the Heat sucks when they lose to the Knicks
And how many teams have the Knicks lost to again?
you win some you loose some
hahahah your funny!! thats why are record is one of the best in the league and we beat the pacers huh?
Refs couldn't save them that time lol
4/5 wins for the knicks since the start of 2014 lol knick haters
Melo is always better 1 on 1.
wrong
lebron would whip melo 1 on 1
brian green how long ago did LeBron say that? His offense has immensely improved. Melo can't guard him
i dont like any ofthose players but lebron is better than melo
Jloshua Well considering the fact that Melo is known for his isolation jumping and all around offensive prowess, Melo is and always will be better offensively than Lebron. Melo has arguably one of the best jumpers in the league, he us known as the unguardable. He would be the one to take a shot right in your face and put that shit down. Lebron can't face Melo isolation cuz he has a naturally bad jumpshot, but vice versa and Melo can whoop his ass.
It would be so fun to jump as high as Lebron.
now imagine gerald green.
you just killed it maine.
Nate Robinson?
Melo ALWAYS goes hard against Lebron. It's the same thing with D. Will going hard against CP3, certain guys just have to take it to certain guys.
yea he does turn up a couple of levels when he is going to play lebron
Every time Melo gets the best of James. Love it.
Always fun watching these 2 playing against each other, from their HS days to the NBA now
That commentator was funny.
"Carmeloooo Anthaaaannyyy
These too are true rivals they played each other in highschool they were drafted the same year And they were actually best of friends they play the same position and when they play each other or the team the opposing player plays for they always go off in a game
Q grandes jugadores dos allaround players
"carmeloooooooooooooo anthonyyyyyyyyy", so annoying lol
The action at 0:20 is just wonderful!
and now they play on the same team crazy how life is
That announcer doe....
CARMELOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANTOHNYYYYYYYYYYY :)
What a nice year that was :(
lebron vs bargani and melo vs lebron
We're going to get a younger version of this next season, Andrew Wiggins vs Jabari Parker.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Anthony is better at shooting, Lebron is more on the drive and passing skill
Anthony better at shooting???? oh boy u mean Melo is better at taking FG attempts and not making but less than half of them.
Lebron's reverse was a super-travel!! but this is the nba show..
cmon melo get a ring! :-)
Love how almost every shot Melo made was against and/or on Lebron's face.
just imagine if LeBron had Melo's touch or Carmelo having LBJ's athletisism #unstopable
1:04 melos like damn he's at the basket
in my mind its kobe,carmelo,kd,then lj just saying
i just love these match ups its just fun watching them play
I love my Knicks, trade Jr , if he screws up one more time this season. We need to lock shumpert down fir next 3 years not Jr. Stoudemire has to dominate in playoffs. Nd Chandler is solid but I say end games with barg nd stat. #Knickstape.

I do see the potential in hardaway. But he has 2 more years of development to go to even compare to Jr. Tim needs to hit weight warm, Jr has stronger better d. Tim is a hardworker tho.
I remember when these two were comparable..seems like so long ago
It was. LBJ made it clear he was the better player in their 2nd season.
matthew6089 yep
This is so nasty!! Its like 10 years before I see these two compete like a boss!
#OldDays
that's that Melo M10
CARMELLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANTHOOOOOOONNNAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY
Whenever these two match up they never disappoint especially in the MSG
Lebron wearing the soldier and Carmelo wearing the melo 10
How come every time the knicks give it to the heat the heat fans get so upset and bring up playoffs and rings.Look crybabies its a regular season game!!!! Not the playoffs so stop being a hater and just take the L.
they both my favorite player
Classic match up right there! I love the back and forth between to great players.
If for once Carmelo Anthony had help from another good player, which he has never had, then he may lead the Knicks to a championship. That's why I'm hoping the Knicks draft Jahil Okafor. I just want one championship from the Knicks.
'Cough' IVERSON
Dean Dymos yeah when he was washed up and at the end of his career.
+Randy Ream JR Smith and Shumpert were decent. Tyson Chandler also. Jason Kidd.
6for6 like superstar level is what I mean
Melo can't handle another superstar. He scores so much because he shoots 25 shots a game. He wouldn't be effective with someone else that requires the ball.
I hate when people argue who's better just watch 2 of the best go at it and just enjoy the game that is basketball
I could have sworn Melo outscored LeBron in this game. How the fuck did LeBron end up with 32?
Free throws
Melo could be the best in the league if he wanted, but it's like he doesn't wanna put in the work to get there
Excellent video with beautiful actions
New York has the best announcer.
This game reminds me of when Denver and Cavs went over time and carmelo put up 40 points
anthony's shot is better than Lebrons... but Lebron is just to nasty in the paint
6-2 in favor of Melo.. Times they were actually matched up against each other
This was a really fun game to watch. I myself didnt think the Knicks had a chance but they put up a good fight thru the first 3 and ran away with it in the 4th quarter. Their season matchups should be fun to watch. If the Knicks get the 8th or 7th seed and go against Miami in the playoffs it would be interesting to watch.
Well, not a good game for the Heat last night. The Knicks played very well last night and was able to get the W. I hope the Heat beat the Nets tonight though. Also that was a great matchup but when Lebron was not guarding Carmelo, he would pop 3's all the time. Good game overall.
He guarded sometimes that's why melos stat lines si somewhere near 9-25.. But yeah, they really got hot in the second half.. too many lucky deep 3 pointers and nice drives by inconsistent Felton
José Alonso Ramos Aldana I can tell you are a heat fan and plus melo was 12-24 because most of his shots were threes and 2 point jumpers while lebron had a really good game but mostly he went for layups. Knicks didn't have lucky 3 pointers melo, shumpert and hardaway are sharp 3 point shooters. You are just a butthurt fan because one of the top teams in the east got beat by a under .500 team. Felton is an underrated point guard
Melo is a beast..thibs would show him how to play defense if he came to chicago.
The knicks out worked the heat. This should be a huge boost in confidence going downthe stretch of the season.
I love it when Carmelo makes it splash
That alley-oop layup lebron did was sweet!
Christ Jesus! Bargnani can't play defense to save his life!
it was just a bad night for the heat. bosh wasn't getting shots to fall and wade missed his free throws. plain and simple even bad teams win a few off the heat sometimes
Knicks just know what it takes to beat the heat. They showed tht last year too
MrColonelkickass wouldn't take the knicks in a seven game series tho
MrColonelkickass They know how to beat them in the regular season..
FatalPivotStrike
Knicks only team to beat Miami 5-1 since last since i wonder why, we are like the bulls we give heat a hard time, miami is lucky they havent played us in the playoffs the last 2 years
iLLmatic240 Maybe coz the Knicks never get there lolol - Anyway regular season nothing like the play offs son. So keep dreaming!
Amazing game, everyone came in there and played their role.
Carmelo won the duel
Na, the Knicks beat the Heat, Lebron beat Carmelo.
carmelo 1v1 with lebron this game he won obviously
oRePeLv2 Doubtful, but whatever.
Lebron looks like a rookie defending Melo
really? then how in the world Bron had a more efficient game than Melo and scored more points and assists.
Daniel Cerdeira wow 3 more points and 1 more assist but Bron did shoot better than melo
Daniel Cerdeira
Melo is 11-7 against lebron now.. let that sink in boiiiii
It's Brooklyn's turn to beat the Heat now!
By the way Lebron traveling, human can land on Mars in no time
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO TEARSSSSSSSSSSS :'(((((((((((((((((((((
this was without tyson chandler too. awesome!
and carmelo had 5 assists :o
Would rather take my chances than have him do dunks/layup drills. That's still his strength
Melo: 29 points on 12 for 24 shooting, 8 rebounds, 5 assists
Lebron: 32 points on 12 for 17 shooting, 5 rebounds, 6 assists
You do the math. Melo had a good game but lebron was more efficient. But of course knicks fans choose to ignore the stats and act like Lebron got schooled by Melo...smh
Because Melo took a couple more jumpshots than him dummy.
I feel pretty bad for Melo
He had everything
I'm not a big Lebron fan but I love seeing battles like this. Was well played from both Carmelo and Lebron and makes for great basketball. And all this about Melo testing free agency is annoying, if it happens, it happens otherwise people shouldn't worry about it.
melo shut down lebron. melo has shown the world whos the best in the world #MVP #CHAMPIONSHIP2014
What the hell are you thinking? Allowing James to score 32 on 12/17 shooting isn't shutting down exactly. Don't think they are better than Miami now because of one win. They beat the Heat last season twice with 20 points,but see who won the championship.
Nikolaj Grünig lebron said himself that rings dont define players.plus lebron is always getting easy wide open lay ups under the rim.melo is shooting fade away 3s.melo is much better than lebron in all categories.
***** shut up u moron lebron is shooting jumpshots better than kd or melo this season
George Astafyev That was one of the dumbest comments i've ever seen. James doesn't just get easy buckets, he works his way to the basket, but he also a great midrange shooter and very good from deep the last two seasons. LeBron is better than Melo in almost all categories.
George Astafyev "melo is much better than lebron in all categories." Leave just leave with that stupidity.
Carmelo's defense... just... wonderful
Blazers
hopefully theres not bandwagoners
It’s crazy because none of these players except Bron still in the league
