3X Nba All-Star, Who Once Dismissed Carmelo Anthony’s Legacy, Snubs Kevin Durant for Knicks Veteran

In a recent episode of the Gil Arenas’ podcast Talks Team USA & Kevin Durant, there is a great discussion about two legendary hoopsters, Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant, and their scoring capabilities. A question sparked the discussion: In their prime, who scored more? Interestingly, an interlocutor in this conversation was a former basketball star, who had earlier rejected Carmelo Anthony’s record.

However, this disclosure introduced a thrilling argument about scoring versatility that placed the position of Kevin Durant side by side with a Knicks veteran.

Carmelo Anthony’s Five-Tier Scoring Mastery Triumphs Over Kevin Durant

The issue was sparked when Gilbert Arenas asked who the better scorer was during his prime years while hosting the podcast. The response from the former NBA All-Star was unequivocal. He stated clearly that Carmelo Anthony was the better scorer.

Their reasoning was simple but profound: The scoring was viewed with a tier-level competence aspect. Durant, the deadly three-pointer shooter, was good in the basics like layup, mid-range, and beyond the arc but Melo was out of this world.

The display by Anthony was nothing short of remarkable when he hit a high-five tier scoring game which comprised not only the basics but also included a flawless post-up game and one-on-one isolation skills.

Both participants in the podcast happened to agree with each other on the judgment. Both of them agreed the one who was a super scorer in full measure was Carmelo Anthony and even over a great player like Kevin Durant, he stands alone. Indeed, the dialogue started with some reservations about the significance of Melo’s legacy but the culmination was praise for his shooting ability.

That being said, this lively podcast featuring the legendary basketball player, Gil Arenas presents us with some of the fine lines that make the world of basketball the way it is.
