LBJ VS MELO

LEBRON JAMES VS CARMELO ANTHONY?

     A decade removed from the 2003 NBA Draft we all can sit back and reflect on how truly special the 2003 draft class is.  Although the draft class is filled with numerous All Stars and champions Lebron James and Carmelo Anthony will be the 2 players in this class that will forever be linked.  In the last decade both superstars have had very successful careers but only one has truly separated himself from the other.  In the 2012 -2013 season we all witnessed Lebron James win his second NBA Championship and NBA Finals MVP while Carmelo was once again at home watching like the typical fan.  Whether it is fair or not critics will now focus their attention towards Carmelo's past and future failures. In his 10 years in the NBA Carmelo has only been out of the 1st round of the playoffs twice while Lebron has been to 4 NBA Finals and hoisted 2 NBA Championship Trophies.  If Carmelo wants to cement his legacy as being more than just a prolific scorer that doesn't make his teammates better he needs to win a ring and soon.  Lets take a closer look at these 2 players career accomplishments thus far and you decide.
