Better overall player (but, not by much): Dirk

Well Dirk is a lot older but I'd take what I see from Dirk in the down season he's in now over the best stretches I've ever seen from Melo.

Its a case where Dirk's numbers PPG, RPG, BPG are all superior but don't tell the full story. Look at +/- too.

I have to go with Melo, his mid range game is unstoppable and he has so much room to improve since he is only 23 years old.

they are both soft, and both p_ssies. Both have negative value and both shy away from confrontation. Carmelo runs away from someone who is 5'6, and Dirk attacks the only player softer than Dirk in the league (AK-47). Dirk can never be a #1 option on a championship team, but Carmelo possibly could. Carmelo is the best scorer in the league.

I wouldn't want either on my team, but if I had to choose I would pick Carmelo.

Dirk is not a p*ssy. If you think he shies away from contact then you haven't seen him this season, he's a lot more aggressive.

And negative value? I'm not even going to respond to that sh*t.

And Dirk was damn close to being the first option on a championship, Melo hasn't been out of the first rounf.

Carmelo isn't soft during the game when it matters, so whatever bull you're trying to start by sounding like a complete jackass isn't holding much value.

But I'd take Dirk right now.
