Surprised he coast on his name for that long after he was essentially a bench player.

Where does he rank amongst the greats that never won a wing? Next to Malone and Stockton? Iverson? T-Mac?

A case could be made Pistons don't have that title and finals appearance if they don't mail order garbage from Serbia.

But like what were they thinking drafting Darko over Carmelo? Melo was an outstanding college player and best player in the tournament that year

LeBron James is the last one remaining from that draft class

And Father Time has definitely caught up to him finally as we're seeing in this Nuggets series.

Maybe it gets forgotten a bit next to the attention that LeBron got, but Darko was SUPER hyped as well. Like, supposed to be Dirk-esque but with toughness/low post game/defense that went against the Euro big stereotype.

Definitely. LeBron used to look mostly unbothered after playoff games, but these days he looks dead tired

Dude literally didn't even sign with a team this year, not surprised.

Says more about LeBron than anything. I have no idea how Carmelo played another 4 years after his lone year in OKC.

Him and Tim Duncan are the only two I can remember playing this well this late into their careers. Of course, Jason Kidd won a championship as a starting PG at age 37, so I guess he counts too.

kareem is the classic example because he was like 42 and still playing like a star but he was a little bit before my time

Long term, Pistons ruined themselves for a generation in that draft. Yes they did well, but they lacked a future

Oh whoops, yeah Kareem does take the cake. Before my time but I knew that he balled out late into his career.

Yeah there's an argument there (Melo's longer career vs T-Mac's peak), but then you also have guys like Barkley, Nash, and Ewing ahead of Melo as well. I've always thought that Dominique Wilkins is a pretty good parallel for Melo, and that would still fit perfectly for this list.

i definitely think barkley/nash/ewing are ahead of melo, especially barkley and ewing.

i kinda feel like harden is like the next generation melo although harden is more accomplished both have great stats and were massive chokers in the playoffs

I didn't know he was real.

It thought he was a made up NBA player on Ned's Declassified.

I only know him through that show and never bother to look up til now.
