Despite the Knicks’ struggles, Carmelo Anthony’s offensive game can’t be denied. Some won’t tab him as the best scorer in the league, but he might be the most versatile scorer in the game. Subtle difference.
One person who can vouch for Melo being a tough cover is Paul Pierce who has proclaimed Anthony as the hardest guy in the league to check. Sounds about right.
If I had to single one guy out who is the most difficult player to guard in the league, it would have to be Carmelo. He’s a unique blend of being big, strong, and athletic while also having a world-class shooting touch and a natural ability to get to the rim. That’s what sets him apart — every facet of his game is elite.
