I posted this in the PC board, but I thought I'd link it here as well. The similarities stats-wise is eye-popping.

Re: Melo vs. Big Dog
I have compared the two of them since Anthony was at Syracuse. Melo is a rich-man's version, but they are indeed similar.
Some people really have a way with words. Other people... not... have... way.

They're similar in style, but Melo is light years ahead.

Re: Melo vs. Big Dog
Not sure how it bears out statistically but IMO the best Carmelo comparison is Pierce. If you told me I was getting Pierce in his prime I would give up Favors. Obviously doesn't change the fact that overpaying with anything else significant is stupid.

Re: Melo vs. Big Dog
