Here is my second article in this series. In my first article, I posted a battle between LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. If you haven't read it yet, I suggest you do and place your opinions here.

24.7 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 3.1 apg
Carmelo has lived up to that No. 3 pick in the 2003 draft class that is known as one of the best in NBA history. Melo has proven that he is a leader for a good Denver team.
