Lebron and Wade because both do different things. Kobe and Melo are both scorers.

I'd have to go with Kobe & Carmelo in this case. Height normally wins this type of thing not to mention that Kobe and Carmelo are the better shooters.

Kobe and Anthony...

Kobe is a perimeter threat while Anthony lives in the post..

Wade and Lebron have similar offensive games.They both drive and draw the foul or dish etC....

Indeed.

Both Kobe and Melo are far superior shooters than Lebron and Wade. They are also better post up players with better footwork.

Lebron and Wade rely on getting to the basket and athleticism too much.

LeBron and Wade are too ball dominant, atleast with Kobe and Carmelo you know that Carmelo would make a living getting open looks off the ball.

are you sure it's not the other way around? Lebron and Wade are both ball dominant, playing with Iverson and playing on Team USA has shown Carmelo does not need the ball in his hands to be effective.

Give me Kobe and Melo.

Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony.

Neither Wade nor LeBron can play off the ball.

Kobe and Melo would fit much better.

Griever24 · Post #17 » by **Griever24** » Tue Feb 5, 2008 12:38 pm

Not to mention if LeBron guards Kobe then Melo will have a field day in the post and if LeBron guards Melo then Kobe takes Wade to the post as well easily ...

On Defense LeBron is a tough matchup as well but when Kobe's got his team U.S.A Defense flowing your gonna have a reaaaly tough time scoring ...

D-Wade you can just sag off of since his 3-pt shot isn't so great so that may stop his penetration and if he uses screen and role just a simple switch .. Kobe and Melo make a living off busting it on you from the wing ..

So i take Kobe and Melo

Too easy, Kobe and Melo

Wade and Bron even if their play style crash they able to fit together on some extent. With both being elite cutter/ Slasher. Also both are great as defense collapser so it help to playmaker for the other

Kobe/Melo - the weakest link here will be melo with how bad he is as a passer / playmaker and both are heavy scorer so it wouldn't fit as good.

Also Bron/ Wade are much better defensive duo
