So I was listening to Thinking Basketball’s 75th Anniversary Team pod. Ben Taylor was low on Carmelo Anthony. Cody talked about how sexy the top 10 in scoring all time is.
Ben asked who was 11th: Elvin Hayes (who they had left off)
My question: what is going to happen in all-time lists if/when Demar DeRozan passes Melo (he’s <5000 pts away which is 2-4 seasons depending)? Will we talk about Demar being one of the best iso buckets ever? Will we point to his Conference Finals appearance where he took Lebron to a game 6?
Amare was to Melo like DWade was to Lebron…but the latter pair had elite defense…Thoughts??
