LeBron stays at number one in this ranking and for good reason, he is still the de-facto best player on the planet and that hasn’t changed as the years have gone by. An otherworldly combination of skill and athleticism that we may never see ag

He was a walking triple-double during his outstanding 19-year career in the NBA. J.Kidd made it to 11 All-Star games with five First Team All-NBA selections, but the MVP award never came his way as a result of tough competition and talent in the league at the t

Anthony was a born scorer from the moment he stepped foot in the Rocky Mountains as a rookie. His reputation as a complete offensive force took a second to blossom. His Olympic resume and All-Star appearances speak for themsel

The Bucks were sensational from three-point range, going 16-for-28 on the night. Oddly enough, they attempted just five free throws in the victory, hitting three of them. Gianni Antetokounmpo (10/11/10) recorded a triple-double over 36 minutes played in the low-scoring contest. The Hornets played without Kemba Walker, who sat out to r

Rumors abounded that Melo could be on the move at this year's trade deadline, but nothing serious ever materialized. Though Anthony loves living in New York City, the best thing for his career (both real and virtual) may be a move to a team where he can be part of a big three (maybe the Cleveland Cavaliers or Los Angeles Clippe

Wade was picked at number five overall in the original draft as many people thought that big man prospects were probably a better fit for their rosters. Also, he is a little shorter than average for a two-gu

After coming into the league with the Denver Nuggets, Anthony became a star in his 7.5 years with the team. But, as the trade deadline approached in the 2010-11 season, Melo decided he wanted out and forced a trade to New York to play for the Kni

The Bulls held a 34-13 lead after the first quarter and didn’t look back. All five Bulls starters scored over 13 points and they were on fire from deep, hitting 12 of their 26 three-point attempts in the game. Meanwhile, the Magic shot 34.5 percent and just 5-for-27 from beyond the

By the final update to the NBA 2K12 game, Melo saw his overall rating plummet to an 81. From there, things didn't get much better for the former elite player, as his overall ratings never again rose above an

"Point guard Rajon Rondo, demoted to the second unit earlier in the season, has the ball back in his hands and has averaged 8.4 assists, compared to 6.4 before Wade’s exit. He is averaging 10.9 points on 47 percent shooting (up from 7.2 on 39.4 percent). And defensively he has been energized, giving hard times most recently to Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving and Atlanta’s Dennis Schrod

Coming off of a game in which they blew a 26-point lead in the fourth quarter last night, the Cavaliers blew an 11-point lead in the fourth in this game and eventually lost in overtime. Playing without LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, Cleveland couldn’t get the job done down the stretch, despite an amazing game by Deron Williams (35/7/9). Hassan Whiteside (23/18/1) double-doubled in the must-win game for Mi

The Celtics moved into first place in the Eastern Conference with the victory. Led by Isaiah Thomas (27/4/3), Al Horford (19/8/4) and Avery Bradley (18/5/2), the Celtics led the Nets to 36.0 percent shooting for the game. In the loss, Brook Lopez (25/7/2) became the Nets’ all-time leading sco

The Warriors rested Klay Thompson and the Jazz were without All-Star Gordon Hayward due to a quad contusion in this matchup. Rudy Gobert (17/18/0) and company stole the win on the road from Steph Curry (28/4/4) and his crew. Interestingly, the Jazz made 13 three-pointers compared to Golden State’s n

Clearly, while he was with the Nuggets, Melo was one of the game's elite all-around offensive players (though his defensive stats definitely left a lot to be desired). But, once he forced his way to the Knicks, the steady decline be
