^ I dono, when they traded AI people on the team (including Melo) were talking about how Billups was going to provide a needed leadership presence. Melo is a great player, but he's never really struck me as the type of guy that people gravitate towards..
For whatever it's worth, I remember reading an article showing that when Anthony was on the floor every single player had become a better play with the Nuggets. I have a feeling NIK is right, this just isn't the system Anthony is strives in.

But in the playoffs a player like Melo is crucial to have. you have to have a player to take over the game. look at all the teams that have won it since the century break.Mavericks (Dirk)Lakers (Kobe)Lakers (Kobe)Celtics (Pierce)Spurs (Parker)Heat (Wade)Spurs (Duncan)Pistons (Billups)Spurs (Duncan)Lakers (Shaq)Lakers (Shaq)Lakers (Shaq)you have to have that player that can take over. Nuggets don't have that right now. Alot of great pieces but in crunch time no one player to take over the game.
Mayweather always a class act. on lin"Lin is good but all the hype is because he's Asian. Black players do that every night & don't get the same praise"Wade, Lebron, Durant, Kobe, Rose & Paul not getting enough praise for you?God Mayweather is a fucking ignorant retard. dude was a bench warmer to a star and more points in his first 5 starts than any other player. but no it is because he is asian. classy.
Let's cut the bullshit too though, Lin would have gone to a Division I school if he was black or white. And he wouldn't have gotten the attention because he wouldn't have to battle his way to a starting role like he did.

Harvard is D-1.If you mean an elite D-1 school like Duke, UNC, Kentucky, etc., I mean I guess you could always make that argument. But in all reality, not to play sterotypes, but he would have a different role if he was Black or White. White guards in college shoot & Black guards in college drive. I watched Lin at Harvard. He was really good there & deservingly so got drafted.
